Manchester's album
in pop mainstream

NEW YORK (AP) — Three years ago, Melissa
Manchester had to be dragged “kicking and screaming” into
a studio to record a rock 'n' roll tune called “You Should Hear
How She Talks About You.”

The song went on to earn her a Grammy award for
female pop vocal performance in 1983. Manchester, who had

Manchester helped write four of the tunes, including
“Just One Lifetime,” co-written with Tim Snow, composer of
“You Should Hear How She Talks About You.”

Brock Walsh, a staff producer with Quincy Jones and
composer of the Pointer Sisters’ hit, “Automatic,” also

i to the album.

made her reputation singing ballads and soft rock, had to
admit the new direction might not be such a bad idea after
all.

“I wasn’t sold on it until I started to perform it,” the
34-year-old singer said during an interview on the eve of a
new tour to promote her latest LP, “Mathematics.”

“Nobody was really used to me singing those kinds of
songs,” she said. “I guess people thought I'd sing ballads for
the rest of my life.”

Even when the song garnered applause at perfor-
mances, however, Manchester wasn't convinced the record
would be a hit.

“You can't gauge how a record is going to do in a live
performance.'People are appreciative when you're bleeding
for them, but when an album comes out it can fizzle for all
kinds of reasons.”

Her new album puts her solidly in mainstream pop, with
a collection of melodically inventive and engaging tunes
produced by such notables as Quincy Jones — one of whose
most recent ventures was producing “We Are the World” —
and George Duke, a noted jazz pianist.

The album was Manchester's first on the MCA label,
after 12 years on the Arista label.

She said on “Mathematics” she chose to work with
several different producers “to keep the energy level up.”

Many producers who are charged with recording an
entire album will slight some of the album cuts, she said.
“They work on three or four tunes they think will be
successful,” Miss Manchester said, and then complete the
album with “filler.”

While the multiple-producer arrangement forced her
“to sacrifice a little of the aesthetic side of what I do,” it.set
up a kind of informal competition among the producers,
which she thinks heightened their creative energy.

BEGINS AT 15

Manchester, who lives in the Los Angeles area, is a
native of New York City, who began singing jingles in
commercials when she was 15 years old. She graduated from
New York's High School of Performing Arts, the inspiration
for the movie and television series “Fame.”

While playing small clubs in Greenwich Village and
elsewhere in Manhattan, she met Bette Midler and Barry

Menudo, the popular adol-
escent Puerto Rican rock
group, has become a big hit
with teenagers in Portuguese
speaking Brazil, long con
sidered a zero market for
Spanish language entertain-
ers.

“In less than eight months,
Menudo sold around three
million records here — that's
way more than top Brazilian
stars, such as Gal Costa and
Chico Buarque, who are
lucky if sales top 400,000 a
year,” Marina Ghiaroni, a
spokesman for the local sub-
sidiary of RCA Records, said
in an interview.

“Before last August, no-
body in Brazil ever heard of
Menudo,” she said. “Now
they're on their way to re-
placing Michael Jackson as

cities and drew 1.5 million
fans. The crowds in many
places went out of control.
Two women were tramp-
led to death during the
group's performance in Rio,
when an estimated 130,000
fans showed up at a soccer
field that had a capacity of
60,000. In Sao Paulo, the
nation’s largest city, a major
league soccer game had to be
postponed because 240,000
Menudo fans destroyed the
grass of the main stadium.
Some Brazilians even crit-
icized the artistic worth of
the young pop stars, with
some newspaper and maga-
zine reviewers finding little
original musical talent in
Menudo's performances.
Antonia Magalhaes,
a teacher in Rio, complained

“trained animals.” Psychol-
ogist Fernando Lage said in
an interview: “This is mass
hysteria invented for purely
commercial purposes.”
DEFENDS GROUP

But Edgardo Diaz, Men.
udo's founder and chief or.
ganizer, defended the group
and said in an interview: “We
give young people the music
they want. Adults don't have
the mentality for making
judgments about a child's
way of thinking.”

Diaz attributed the group's
popularity to its “simplicity
and friendliness, among
other things.

“The next big market we
want to conquer is Japan;
Brazil's already in the bag,”
Diaz added.

Menudo achieved its suc
cess with only three LPs:

Reaching Out, which was re-
corded in English; Evolucion,
recorded in Spanish; and, in
an unprecedented attempt to
get through to young people
in this nation of 134 million,
Menudomania in Portuguese.
Then they followed up with
an exhausting concert tour.

“I don't speak Portu
geuese,” said 14-year-old
Menudo member Robby in an
interview in Spanish. “But I
have learned what the lyrics

of our Portuguese songs
mean.”
Brazilian fans generally

don’t understand Menudo in
English or Spanish, so the
Portuguese helps. But it
seems the group would have
a big following here in any
language.

CRITICS LOVE
NEW ENGLISH
PLAY ON BIBLE

LONDON (AP) — An adaptation of the English
medieval mystery plays has won over London theatre critics
and skeptical modern audiences with a three-part retelling
of the Bible.

“It's a magic that’s the truth, not a magic that’s a trick,”
says director Bill Bryden.

The Mysteries opened at the National Theatre's small
Cottesloe auditorium in a 6'/2-hour performance of the entire
trilogy on Jan. 19, with plans to move to New York in the
fall.

“If you fail to thrill to The Mysteries, the theatre,
maybe life, is not for you,” wrote Giles Gordon in Punch, the
weekly magazine.

Michael! Billington in The Guardian wrote: “What is
most extraordinary about The Mysteries is that, through the
imaginative power of the production, it penetrates and
sometimes even shatters the agnostic detachment of a
modern audience.”

Under Bryden’s direction the trilogy is done as a
promenade; seats have been removed on the ground level of
the theatre to allow the audience to follow the action around
the auditorium.

The Mysteries include vignettes on Eve and the apple,
the Resurrection and the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.

For Bryden and his cast, many of whom have been with
the project for eight years, The Mysteries complete an
endeavor that began in 1977 with The Passion — the first of
a trio that later included The Nativity in 1980 and this year's
apocalyptic Doomsday

Bryden said he was initially drawn to The Passion, the
story of Christ's crucifixion, because he felt it was “the best
single play.”

UPDATES PLAYS

In conjunction with the actors and playwright Tony
Harrison, Bryden then updated the entire liturgical cycle,
originally performed by medieval working folk in town
processionals throughout England.

“We have rediscovered these plays,” said Bryden. Their
title comes from the archaic meaning of the word “mystery”
as “craft” or “trade.”

will be competing in the B.C.
Business Education provin-
cial typing competition in
Vancouver Friday.

Jane Fleet, a Typing 9 stu-
dent, is one of between 20
and 30 finalists in the junior
category.

Fleet typed a net speed of
63 words per minute and a
gross speed of 75 words per
minute to become one of the
finalists.

Three other SHSS stu-
dents qualified for the pro-
vincials, but Fleet was the
only one chosen for the finals.

The students are Jennifer
Rezansoff, Lori Pettigrew,
Erin Finney. About 120
SHSS junior typing students
competed in the qualifying

Workshop
on ESP

Do you have hunches or
premonitions? Do you oe-
casionally have dreams that
come true? Do you experi-
ence deja vu — the feeling
that something which is hap-
pening has already hap-
pened?

These are all examples of
psychic happenings in peo-
ple’s lives, according to a
press release from the Inner
Peace Movement, an inter-
national self-development
program.

The release states that
most people don’t know how
to use these hunches when
they need them, cannot gov.
ern when they will occur and
cannot make them practical
in their everyday lives.

An introductory lecture
called “Making ESP Practi
cal” will be presented Thurs-
day night at the Nordic Hall.

Immediately following the
lecture a workshop will be
given, called, “Exploring In.
ner Dynamics” where people
can experience their own
psychic natures through
techniques especially devel
oped by the Inner Peace
Movement.

Christiansen will present a
three-hour course called “Ex.
ploration into the Intellect
and Mystical Freedom” on
Friday and on Monday will
present a lecture and work

WASHINGTON (AP) — A
divided Congress is looking

for middle ground on Presi
dent Ronald Reagan's re-
quest for $14 million in aid to
Nicaraguan rebels, after the
Democrat-led House of Rep
resentatives rejected the
plan and Republican-controll
ed Senate passed it

Key votes were expected
today in the House of Dem
ocratic and Republican alter
natives. Both would supply
$14 million but differ on how
the money would be dis-
tributed.

State Secretary George
Shultz said the crucial vote

Contras through the U.S.
Agency for International De
velopment.

The House Democratic
plan would give $10 million to
the International Red Cross
or United Nations to help
Nicaraguan refugees and set
aside $4 million to implement
a possible Nicaraguan peace
settlement.

All sides agreed the votes
on the competing House al
ternatives were likely to be
close.

After a long day of debate

would come on a Reagan- Tuesday, the House voted

248-180 against Reagan's $14
million proposal for “military
or paramilitary operations in
Nicaragua.” Only a few hours
earlier, the Senate passed
the same language, 53-46.

The votes came after the
president pledged to re-open
direct negotiations between
the United States and the
leftist Sandinista govern
ment, a key issue in Demo-
cratic opposition to his Nic
araguan policy. In a letter to
the Senate, Reagan also
pledged that he would use
the money only for non
lethal purposes for the rest of
the fiscal year, ending Sept
30.

Canada and it is getting bigger, says Paul Fraser,
of the federal g ’s special on
pornography and prostitution.

The committee's report, released Tuesday, estimated —

America ranges from $12 billion to $50 billion, not
video sales and rentals.

Surveys indicate pornography is more readily available
than it was 15 years ago although there is not enough
“consumer information” to determine whether people are
actually using pornography more.

A survey of 2,018 Canadians questioned about
por phy and prostitution in 1984 indicated about 11 per
cént of Canadians, or more than two million individuals,
bought at least one “adult entertai ‘ ine in the

previous year. Men outnumberd women three to one.

A further 32 per cent, or nearly six million individuals,
did not buy a magazine although they did leaf through or
read one at least once during the previous year, with men
again outnumbering women.

The report says that until recently, pornographic
materials were confined in any city to a few stores.

Now, it says, i that sell pornog
“include the thousands of corner or convenience stores used
by people, including children, on a regular and frequent
basis.”

The report says pornography is no longer confined to
printed matter and films that can be seen only in theatres.

“Instead, pornography is on television, particularly pay
television, with a potential of being seen in virtually every
home across the country.”

MEN BUY MORE

The national survey found several characteristics that
consumers of pornography have in common: men buy more
than women, consumers with fewer than eight years of
education buy fewer pornographic magazines than those
with more education, young people outnumber older buyers,
single buyers outnumber the married and the unemployed
are over-represented among the buyers.

Penthouse and Playboy are the magazines bought most
often, by 39 per cent and 30 per cent of the respondents
respectively, followed by Playgirl, Hustler and then a
variety of other magazines. ,

The committee recommended a three-tiered approach
to deal with pornography, with the stiffest penalties for
sexually explicit materials showing people who are under 18
years and anything that causes actual harm to the parti-
cipants.

Criminal sanctions for materials on the second tier
would be less onerous and would apply to depictions of
violent behavior, bestiality, incest or necrophilia. Such
jisplays would be permitted for education, artistic or
