I6—The Daily Collegian Wednesday, Sept. 9, 1981 Taylor and 'Foxes' end Broadway run NEW YOCIE (AP) The hit revival of "The Little Foxep," in which 'movie queen Elizabeth Taylor made her Broadway debut and got a Tony nomination, is ending its five-month run here Saturday night. It's one of four Broadway shows closing this weekend. But it will reopen soon in two other cities, still featuring Miss Taylor and the same cast, including Maureen Stapleton and Penn State graduate Ann Talman, a spokeswoman for the production said Friday.. She said the revival of Lillian Hellman's play will begin a two-week run Tuesday in New Or leans, at the Saenger Theatre, then open a 10- week stand at the Ahmanson in Los Angeles on Sept. 27. It also may play London in February, with Miss Taylor again starring, but that hasn't been decid ed yet, the spokeswoman said. The other shows closing here this weekend are the short-lived "The Supporting Cast," ending Saturday night after 36 performances, and two long-running hits, one a comedy, the other a musical. They are, respectively, "Gemini," which opened May 21, 1977, and closes Saturday night after 1,819 performances, and the Neil Simon- Marvin Hamlisch musical, "They're Playing Our ANNOUNCING!!

By JUDB A. SLOUCH Daily Collegian Staff Writer ' In the early 1970 s rock 'n' roll was a hurting art form, struggling after its boom days of the 'sos and '6os. Long haired bands were nothing more than clones and rock desperately needed a shot in the arin. The cure to the pop depression came to the big cities in the form of an explosion of energetic young bands doing their own material in small clubs and theaters. The leader of this movement was a band with a lead singer named David Johansen and original material and talent enough for a score of bands. They were the New York Dolls. If you've never heard of the Dolls don't feel bad. Their stay on the rock scene was brief, but important. From that group came a guitarist who had pre viously dropped out of high school and just knocked around with a band or two. Syl Sylvain went on from the Dolls' demise to form other groups. Once, with a band called the Criminals, he formed his own label, Sing Song Records, and 7:3oam - 9:3oam, 10:30am - 2:3opm by Tallulah Bankhead. As Regina this year, Miss Taylor got generally favorable reviews as well as a Tony nomination as best actress in a drama. But the season's top acting award went to England's Jane Lapotaire, the star of "Piaf," which closed after a short run. After her last "Foxes" performance Saturday night, Miss Taylor plans to attend a party for the show's stagehands, ushers, box-office staff and other off-stage workers, Miss Dale said. Jazz man at PSU Accomplished jazz saxaphonist Rufus Harley will appear in concert Friday at 8 p.m. in Schwab Auditorium. Harley and his trio, sponsored by the Paul Robeson Cultural Center, have made numer ous Philadelphia-area television appearances and also boast of a spot on "The Tonight Show." Harley is a native of Philadelphia and is proba bly better known as the first professional jazz bagpipe player. He began playing the saxaphone at 13 years old and turned professional at 17, playing in Philadelphia nightclubs. He has since mastered the tenor, alto and soprano saxes, the flute and oboe. Tickets for the concert are $2 and are on sale at the HUB and the Paul Robeson Cultural Center. produced, manufactured and distribute da Criminals single. "The Kids . Are Back" won best American 45 of 1978 from the New Musical Express in England. Sylvain's latest venture is with a band called the Teardrops and their new al bum, creatively entitled "Syl Sylvain and the Teardrops." It is a good album with snappy songs and catchy rhythms. "_People are starving for good-feeling rock and roll and that's what we:strive to give them," Sylvain said. Sylvain hit the nail on the head. Along with drummer Rosie Rex and bassist Danny "Tubby" Reid, Sylvain puts out a toe-tapping brand of rock that is both listenable and dance-able. It isn't earth shaking or society-destoying, but it is good stuff. "Medicine Man," the fourth cut from Side A, is a good example. It moves along evenly and smoothly through the first verses with Sylvain's voice adding a raw, punk feeling. The chorus, however, picks up and starts bopping with a quicker tempo. That's when the foot starts tap ping with vigor. The entire album is like that. With so few down moments, it's an album worth the listening time. spm - 6:45pm Cotillion gains talented bass Red Rose Cotillion has replaced bass player Roger Schiiltz and Pat McGinnis is now laying down the bottom for the band. Schultz gave his notice at the beginning of August, first wanting to quit immediately, but later agreeing to stay on until the end of the month. The remaining members of the band placed an ad in the Centre Daily Times a few weeks ago and McGinnis applied for the job. David Young, Cotillion's rythym guitarist and lead vocalist said, "A few others called, but Dave called first. We auditioned him and liked him right away. He fits in really well. He adds a different drive and a much funkier beat." McGinnis's roots are more coun try rock and rythym and blues than Red Rose Cotillion the rest of Cotillion.

Syria criticizes U. S. vote on the South African rai. By WILLIAM OATIS Associated Press Writer UNITED NATIONS (AP) Syria portrayed the United States as an obstacle to Namibian independence during yesterday's emergency General Assembly session on the South African ruled territory. Syrian Ambassador Dia Allah El-Fattal told the 154-nation assembly, "The United States is at tempting to undermine the struggle against South Africa, the struggle to attain independence and sovereignty over the whole territory of Namibia." The United States last week vetoed a U.N. o resolution condemning South African attacks on Angola-based black guerrillas who are fighting for Namibian independence. The reason given for the veto was that the resolution did not extend criticism to the presence of Soviet advisors and some 20,000 Cuban soldiers in Angola.

South Africa has controlled the mineral-rich adjacent territory since the end of World War I under a League of Nations mandate that was abrogated by the United Nations in 1966. South Africa does not recognize the action. In the assembly debate, Austrian Ambassador Thamas Klestil criticized South Africa's Aug. 23 strike into Angola to hit camps of the South-West Africa People's Organization guerrillas. At the same time, he seemed to question SWA PO's own methods when he said, "A permanent and valid solution will not be found by increased armed struggle." He appealed to SWAPO and its African allies to stay committed to the negotiat ing process and urged the five Western countries "to sustain the negotiations and to continue ef forts to solve the problem within the United Nations framework." 238-4050 The Daily Collegian Wednesday, Sept. 9, 19ii1—1 Sir Anthony Parsons of Britain, speaking for the European Common Market, said its 10 members "adhere firmly to their conviction that the people of Namibia must be permitted Urgently to exer cise their right to self-determination and indepen dence with Out further delay." He said "a unique opportunity to achieve Nami bia's independence through an internationally acceptable solution" was lost during a Geneva conference of all the parties last January . Ambassador Tommy Koh of Singapore said the emergency special session should "renew the call for the Security ICouncil to impose mandatory sanctions against South Africa," "renew its sup port to SWAPO" and encourage the U.N. Council for Namibia to "continue its present program of publicizing facts about the problem." "The alternative to peaceful change," he con cluded, "is not the status quo.
