NOVEMBER 20, 1986 Collegian PAGE 6 1 ►1 Fall is the best time for Pretenders music. • The changing leaves and rainy weather instill rock and roll thoughts in the minds of those making the most of the longer evening hours. The air is cool and so is the music. It is no coincidence that the Pretenders should release another fall/winter album. • . Get Close is the latest effort by Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders, and like many other Pretenders albums, Hynde is the driving force behind the music. A sultry voice atop electric guitar riffs have long been a Pretenders trademark, and Get Close is no exception. In fact, most of the music on the album is remeniscent of earlier • Pretenders works. However, it is not quite the same. A chain of tragic events including the breakup with Ray Davies and the death of a band member have extinguished the fire from Chrissie Hynde's lyrics. Instead of the usual biting sarcastic comments, we hear a sentimen tality that is uncommon since the days of "Brass in Pocket." Nevertheless, the album still rocks. Songs such as "Chill Factor" and "Light of the Moon" are evidence of the Pretenders Rock-n-Roll longevi ty. These are songs meant to be played at maximum volume, as is the track "Room Full of Mirrors," a familiar Jimi Hendrix tune brought back to life. The song "Don't Get Me Wrong" is a perfect example of the new Pretenders style. Acoustic guitar lines join with Hynde's powerful voice in a unique and romantic way. The song works well enough to receive con siderable airplay, and is a refreshing change from the usual top 40 drivel. Along with the seven other tracks, Get Close is an enjoyable facsimile -of earlier Pretenders albums. But whether or not it justifies a $9.99 price tag, is debatable. Ketchum and Segal find favor with college students by Steve Aller Collegian Staff Writer Classical melodies of flute and guitar created a quiet, relaxed at mosphere in Reed 117 on Saturday, November 8. Another of the fine performances in the Cultural Events series, Ketchum and Segal were very professional and played exceptionally well. Beginning at 8:00 pm and finishing at 9:45 pm (with a fifteen minute intermission), they played a various assortment of known and relatively unknown classical pieces, by a diversity of composers. Selec tions played included compositions by Bach and Deßussy, and even some Appalachian Mountain folk music. Janet Ketchum has been playing flute for over fifteen years and is employed by television studios to do soundtrack music for such well known shows as Magnum, PI and L.A. Law. Speaking to the audience, Ms. Ketchum revealed an enjoyment of .`live' performances (as opposed to - studio work), saying it is a "great .thrill...providing direct contact with an audience."

During her solo sec tion of the evening she played Fan tasia themes by Friedrich Kuhlau. such as "Adagio" and "Arieta con Variazioni". The instrument she performed with was a gold Muramatsu flute. Peter Segal was soft-spoken and exhibited extremely agile finger work during his unamplified acoustic guitar solo, playing Spanish compositions originally written for the piano by child pro digy Issac Albeniz. With his dark suit and metal-rimmed glasses, Mr. Segal presented a very conservative image concealing his guitar playing excellence. Segal's humorous side emerged when the mother of a cry ing, babbling baby moved to the lobby outside the hall. The crying increased in intensity and was still audible within the hall and Segal commented "Sounds like she really misses the concert!

The name of this play is Bury The Dead. It is an anti-war film written by Irwin Shaw in the 1930's The play offers twelve male roles and eight female roles for audi tions. The characters aren't specific, enabling the actor to adapt to the character easier. Audi tions are open to anyone interested. There are roles available for ages from eighteen and older. Readings will be provided at the auditions however, it is suggested that anyone considering an audition should read the script before-hand or talk to director, Tony Elliot. The play, Bury The Dead, is more theme-oriented rather than centering its plot around the development of each character. The play was written in 1935, but it's message is timeless. It has been described as being eloquent, mov ing, and terrifying due to the brilliantly imaginative theatricality it employs. The play conveys a plea for peace generating compassion from its audience. "The play should hurt.

Thd, potential seems endless. In the play, the setting is "The second: year of the war that is•to begin tom=• morrow." Suddenly a groan is • heard emitting from a freshly dug: grave.
