satirical romp

NEW YORK (AP) — Like
any television producer, Alan
Spencer has deep theories
about TV programming and
audience reach. And like his
show, Sledge Hammer!, his
theories are deeply warped.

Sledge got a surprise re-
newa! this season from ABC,
and was promptly placed
opposite NBC's top-rate The
Cosby Show on Thursday
night.

ABC said Sledge Hammer!
has a loyal core audience.

“I think the core audience
is the people who don't re-
ceive the other two networks
very clearly,” Spencer said in
a telephone interview.

“We just made the cover of
Mad Magazine. Maybe that’s
our audience — predomi
nantly male, a lot of kids.

“I was at a party recently
where there were a lot of
bodyguards present, and
they were all fans of it. I
think it’s real violent Re.
publicans. People who drink
beer and drive trucks and
like to play with _ power
tools.”

RENEW SHOW

Spencer says the show got
renewed because it did well
on the “disturbed people
meter.”

However, on the real
people meter that measurers
Nielsen ratings, Sledge Ham.
mer! does well with young
males, an important target
audience for many adver.
tisers.

A formerly serious New
York actor named David
Rasche plays Detective
Sledge Hammer, a macho
weirdo who baby-talks his
gun.

This season, Spencer said,
Sledge will have “more of a
man-woman relationship
rather than a man-gun one.”
The object of his desire will
be his partner, Dori Doreau,
played by  Toronto-born
Anne-Marie Martin.

Despite Spencer's jokes
about the allegedly paleo-
lithic cultural level of Sledge
viewers, they're the same
people who get the inside
jokes that have turned
Sledge from a one-time take-
off on Clint Eastwood's Dirty
Harry into a weekly satirical
romp.

It’s not surprising that
Spencer is a fan of Get
Smart, the 1960s spy satire
that starred Don Adams.

Times have changed and
Sledge accordingly is more
jaded than Get Smart, poking
fun at polities, movies and
such self-involved 1980s
issues as “colorization.”

POKES FUN

An upcoming episode, a tip
of the hat to director David
Lynch, is Blue Velcro, Bud
Cort guest-stars and actor
Bill Bixby directs.

The plot centres on the
death of a young film di
rector, apparently from a
vampire bite after firing the
star of his horror picture.

A Robocop takeoff features
a villain named “BORK,” a
robot that can’t tell right
from wrong.

Spencer said the ABC cen
sors made him explain that

he said. “They watch ‘En.

STING

New album
‘reflective’

LONDON (AP) — Sting, former lead singer of the
British rock group The Police, displays a more reflective
and adaptable side as a solo performer, but he still
inflames mass adulation.

His recent solo LP, Nothing Like The Sun, has
influences ranging from jazz to Latin to George
Gershwin, and contains an underlying theme in praise of
womanhood.

“Success to me is being allowed to make the music I
want without compromising it for the purpose of selling a
lot,” Sting said in an interview. “This is the record I
wanted to make.

“If it’s successful and sells millions of copies, then
great. If it doesn’t, I'll make another one.”

He has no regrets about leaving behind the vibrant
formula with which The Police sold more than 50 million
records in an eight-year blitz up to 1984, making it one of
Britain's most successful rock bands since the Beatles and
Rolling Stones.

Sting says he wanted to get away from the “mob
hysteria” that reached its height at the cavernous Shea
Stadium in New York in 1983. Though The Police never
formally disbanded, it's unlikely ever to be resurrected

CONTAINS THEMES

His solo songs contain familiar themes, such as social
alienation and heart-stopping love, but are more often
politicized and personalized.

So far, they appear hardly less popular.

His first solo LP, The Dream of the Blue Turtles, sold
more than six million copies — as many as The Police's

fifth and last smash-hit album, Synchronicity.

The new 12-track The Lazarus Heart is dedicated to
Sting’s mother, Audrey Sumner, who died of cancer in
June.

They Dance Alone was inspired by women in Chile
who pin photographs of their missing sons, boyfriends
or husbands to their clothes and dance with their invisible
partners outside prisons and government buildings.

Sting saw the women during a world tour last year
on behalf of the human rights group Amnesty Inter.
national.

A tour promoting the new album opened Saturday in
Sao Paulo, Brazil, and will-take Sting across the United
States at the beginning of the year, then to Europe, the
Far East and Australia in the spring.

The blond photogenic multi-millionaire is 36 and the
father of four the sex-symbol image of old is less
studiously exploited. Given a chance, he'll talk at length
about the pseudo-psychoanalytical origins of his songs.

FOLLOWS DREAMS

He seeks inspiration in his dreams, which he logs in a
diary by his bed, and in Carl Jung, the Swiss psychologist
who illustrated that men accept femine qualities within
themselves.

“Lequate maturity or maturing, particularly in a man
with accommodating a female component your
psychology,” he said. “Not to say we should be sissified or
homosexual or anything like that.

“It's just I think that we get qualities like creativity,
openness, intuition, gentleness, kindness from our
feminine component and, as you grow older, I think that
should come out more and more.

“We need less and less to be aggressive.”

One reason for going solo, he said, was to break free
from his cohorts, Andy Summers and drummer Steward
Copeland.

“I think you reach a certain age where you don't need
male bonding anymore,” he said. “I see myself as just who
I am, a mature man who doesn’t need a gang.

“Those days are over. I don't need a group to support
me. I can stand on my own.”

the college's activities in the area of International Education.

“Last year at this time Selkirk College had seven inter-

to 50.”

He was pleased to note that, in Selkirk College's inter-
national student population, Malaya, Fiji, the United States

full advantage of their Canadian educational experience, and
invited them to, “return someday as ambassadors, em-

‘become so familiar.”

Exner then presented each of the international students
who arrived this year with a Selkirk College lapel pin as a
memento of the occasion.

Then it was the student's turn to the enter-

instructor John Armstrong's English As A Second

Canada, Castlegar and the college.

Many students spoke of their bewildermen: on arrival
in Castlegar, a culture and community so totally different
from their native Hong Kong. Initial feelings of home-
sickness were soon displaced by the warmth and friendliness
of their h families, and other
students at the college.

Watson sentenced
to life in Nelson

By The Canadian Press

NELSON — An Alberta
prison escaper was sentenced
to life in prison after he
pleaded guilty Thursday to
11 charges including kidnap-
ping and sexual assault.

Robert Watson, 43, had
pleaded not guilty and elect-
ed trail by provincial court
judge when he appeared in
court on Monday. Trial date
had been set for Jan. 11.

The charges include kid-

napping, unlawful confine-
ment, attempted kidnapping,
sexual assault with a weapon,
using a firearm during a kid-
napping, carrying a weapon
for the purpose of a kid-
napping, two counts of auto
theft, breaking and entering
and being unlawfully at
large.
Watson, formerly of Burn-
aby, B.C., and Patrick Pet-
erson, 39, escaped Sept. 2
from a medium-security pri-
son at Bowden, Alta. Peter-
son was later captured at
Innisfail, Alta.

Court was told Watson at-
tempted te abduct a woman
and her five children Sept. 8
in Sparwood in southeastern
British Columbia, but the
woman managed to fend him
off.
