SEPTEMBER 25, 1986 Collegian PAGE 6 "What do you think could be -done to lessen *or hopefully eliminate the world-wide misuse of cocaine and other drugs?" by Felicia Kelly Collegian Staff Writer On Sunday, Sept. 14, the Presi dent and Mrs. Reagan made a broadcast over national television concerning the fight to keep drugs off the streets. Their main goal was to crack down on crack, a more concentrated derivative of cocaine. We asked 5 students the following question: "What do you think could be done to lessen or hopeful ly eliminate the world-wide misuse of cocaine and many other dar sous dr• -?" Kathy Wade Kathy Wade, First Semester, Business--" Extensive school awareness programs are very im portant. It is our job to teach young people about the dangers of Music review The Talking Heads tell ` true stories' by Paul Miniger Collegian Staff Writer The Talking Heads seem to be the only survivor of the late seven ties New Wave era. During which, they gave us such great songs as Psycho Killer, Once In A Lifetime and other great favorites. The Talking Heads have been regarded by many as one of the greatest new _ wave groups. What sets them apart from the rest is their tremendous • versatility. Because the Talking Head's music does not fit into any The Penn State Alumni Association drugs. They must be taught about their long range effects which destroy friendships, families and most importantly the threat that they have on your life. We also Brian Venetti must continue to try and get drugs off the streets and the pushers behind bars, because if there are no sources, drugs will have no choice but to slowly decline." Brian Vennetti, First Semester, Electrical Engineering Technology--" Well, I think the steps that the President is taking now are as fat and he and the law can go. I feel that it's just like another prohibition because drugs are always going to be there. The statements that he (the President) said made a lot of people think one category of music, they are never limited to pleasing just one audience. Such is the case with their sixth album, True Stories. True Stories is a compilation of songs from the movie, True Stories, which is directed by David Byrne, guitar and vocalist of the Talking Heads. However, unlike Stop Making Sense, this album is not a soundtrack. In fact, most of the music on the film is sung by the actors and will be available on a separate album. Not to worry Alumni Fellow t L Maxson '57 ent of Financial Planning rthwest Airlines eapolis, Minnesota mpus, September 30 & October 1 Behrend College he Alumni Association welcomes as a guest of Student Voice Jackie Brown twice about using drugs. To sum it up, I feel that it is up to the in dividual to know what is right and what is wrong." Kimberly Brown, First Semester, Finance--I feel that if there were more drug awareness programs to because this is probably the best of all Talking Heads albums. A bold statement, yes, but what makes True Stories work is its resemblance to older Talking Heads tunes. The song Papa Legba combines the backwoods howlings of David Byrne with the percussion of Paulinha da Costa. The result is a swamp similarity that is twice the length of the Speaking in Tongues track, but is five times as entertaining. Hey Now and Puzzlin' Evidence educate Americans about the dangers of drugs, then people would think twice about using them." Jackie Brown, Third Semester, Science—"l feel (the President) could make the laws for drug users stronger and the punishments more severe. He could also increase drug awareness so that the public will be aware of their risk and vs." Angela Papaleo Angela Papaleo, First Semester, Communications--"I feel that there should be more police control to prevent drug use from spreading. I also feel that they have to go to the heart of where the drug dealings are taking place, that way it would be more difficult for younger kids to get a hold of drugs." photos by Jim Cooper both feature guest choirs as background vocalists. The music is reminiscent of the album Little Creatures and the lyrics are just as nonsensical, a common but ap preciated trait with most of David Byrne's music. Most of the tracks on True Stories are upbeat, more so than any previous Talking Heads albums. In fact, it is not until the last three songs that the music moves to a slower tempo. A good example is the song Dream Operator in which David Byrne sings sweetly to memories of his somewhat bizarre childhood. It is quite a contrast to the metallic Love For Sale, but the transition from song to song is so slight that the change is hardly noticeable. Because of its narrative context and the use of dramatic imagery it is easy to follow the story line of True Stories. However, judging from the fate of Stop Making Sense in local theaters, this may be as close as you get to seeing it. Bruno's . • . From doghouse to by Suzanne Segal citing to do?
