This past Saturday night, as
',Tart of the Black Arts Festival, the
-Self Destruct Band appeared at
:;the Paul Robeson Cultural Center,
'bringing with it diversity and raw
.*talent. Despite a poor turnout, the
- :,‘eight-man band played for all it
'was worth.
Bobby Peterson, keyboardist
: and vocalist, known for such hit
-tunes as "Irresistible You,"
":•"Rockin' Charley" and "The
:Hunch," is currently working with
the band to help it expand its
,musical horizons, and together
,;they are now arranging new
..thaterial for an upcoming debut
'2 album.
On the albuna, Bryant said, the
:band will try to show some diversi
ty but will probably lean toward
:more middle-of-the-road material
..because it has to conquer the
charts .
On stage, the Self Destruct Band
is strong. With a flair for the
. dramatic and a lot of open emo
tion, these guys can surprise any
audience. Opening with two instru
mentals, the band featured the
power of horn players Anthony
Genwright (trumpet) and Byron
Young (saxophone) and the fi
nesse of guitarist Steve Pratt.
Next the band went into the mel
low "April Love," which high
lighted the high smooth tenor of
lead singer. Warren Moore and the
mellow arpeggios of keyboardist
Peterson. After that, bassist Mike
Smith and drummer Brett Showell
..demonstrated their considerable
;talents when the band rocked out
:-virith some heavy funk. Such radi
..cal chances were made easily by
",the band throughout the night.

Liquor, sex, professors, academia. This fas
cinating compilation is the product of over 100
years of college humor. And since 1876, things
haven't changed much.
A collection of topical and ageless gags, it
features the likes of Robert Benchley (Harvard
Lampoon), Herman Wouk (Columbia Jester), F.
Scott Fitzgerld (Princeton Tiger), and countless
writers, artists and poets.
It 'reflects not only the evolution of humor but
also the current times. The '6os brought wartime
jokes ("Visit Canada: It's Cold, But There's No
Draft!") In the '4os, Michigan State did the
comic "Dick Twathy," a strip where our hero
lisps.
Penn State Froth contributed: "She's such a
pretty little wench, sitting there upon the bench/
Looking very coy and shy, at every passing
college guy/ Such thrilling eyes, Concentric
thighs/ It's too bad/ She's bald."

"Informed people can make a difference if
they act in 'concert and not settle for the
belittling expectations of others," said Haki
Madhubuti Saturday night at the Paul Robe
son Cultural Center as part of the last week's
Black Arts Festival. This is the key to the.
progressive future of black Americans, he
said.
In addition to being one of the most widely
read poets in the world, Madhubuti heads the
Institute for Positive Education— a school for
Ford delivers a commencement address that
makes Chevy Chase pale in comparison.
There is no limit to the subject matter; every
thing takes a shot. Much of the material would
probably never be seen in anything besides
National Lampoon.
From the Pittsburgh Panther in the 'sos:
HE: What would you say if I stole a kiss? SHE:
What would you say to a guy who had a chance to
steal an automobile but only took the windshield
wiper?
These are anonymous: "No," said the centi
pede, crossing her legs, "a hundred times, no!"
"What's the difference between a horse and a
girl?" "I don't know." "You must have some
swell dates."

Americana at its tackiest, real and imagined,
is the subject of "Zany Afternoons." This book is
a satirical collection by the seasoned author/art
ist Bruce McCall, whose work has appeared in
National Lampoon, Playboy and Esquire.
He explores such notable subjects as tank polo,
zeppelin shoots and pyramid climbing. For nos
talgia buffs, who can forget the 1936 Cairo Worlds
Fair that never was? It had rides like the Digest

the Third World Press, the largest black
publishing company in America.
Madhubuti also stressed in his speech that
blacks should once again become proud and
aware of their cultural backgrounds. He at
tributes a loss of awareness to the unjust days
of black slavery, a time when blacks were
forced to come to America and become "di
thinished to a state of personal property," he
said.
"People began to fade, names were non-
African. Elders couldn't speak the language,
" Madhubuti said. Also, blacks could "only

huge hinged derby atop the building that tipped
automatically when a lady entered.
A hilarious section of the book describes with
excellent illustrations the S.S. Tyrannic, dubbed
"The Biggest Thing in All the World." The ship
was so big that passengers who boarded at
Liverpool often failed to reach their quarters by
the time they berthed in New York. They were
advised to run. The S.S. Tyrannic's Grand Ball
room had a chandelier which weighed more than
the Eiffel Tower. A routine voyage used up to 6000
mops, 400 acres of table linens, and a 50-gallon
drum of Mecurochrome.
"Popular Workbench" is another one of
McCall's creations. It's "Written So Even You
Can Understand It." Its pages contain' articles
such as "How to Turn Those Unwanted Coat

Relating those hard times to the present
time, Madhubuti expressed concern over the
black's self-image today, specifically whether
or not they really feel free. He said he is also
very disturbed with the economic troubles
blacks are encountering
"A people's consciousness, the way they
view and operate in the' world is shaped by
their (or other's) culture," Madhubuti said.

While the music of two violins
played in the background, several
Penn State faculty and staff mem
bers sipped punch, nibbled on coo
kies and chatted about their latest
works during yesterday's Open
House at the Penn State
Bookstore.
- _
The purpose of this Faculty/S
-taff Recognition Day Reception,
sponsored by the Bookstore, was
to honor those people from the
university and surrounding areas
who have publihed books. During
the reception, authors saw their
names and those of their friends
and associates on over 300 special
ly displayed books.
"There's everything here from
textbooks to books on jogging,
hiking, cooking and football," Ar
thur Goldschmidti professor of
history, said. "I'm • just seeing
what all I can learn from my
collegues."
Goldschmidt, who is currently
revising his textbook, said authors
have a variety of motives for writ
ing. While some write texts to suit
their classroom needs, others may
write to further a cause or to
simply organize their scholarly
work.
Edward Leos, retired professor
of journalism, is one such author.
In 1971 he discovered a photo that
led him on a nine-year quest that

'Festival' evokes pride
By M. LEE SCHNEIDER
Collegian Staff Writer
The HUB Ballroom this week
end was filled with ethnic dancers,
folk music and folklore as well as
hundreds of people as the Univer
sity celebrated it's Fifth Annual
Slavic Folk Festival.
The Festival, which received
partial funding from the Universi
ty's Department of Slavic Lan
guages and the Kappa • Kappa
chapter of Dobro Slovo, the nation
al Slavic studies honor society,
supports itself mainly through do
nations from individuals and orga
nizations and from the sale of food
and advertisements.
Lorraine T. Kapitanoff, festival
coordinator, said the response to
this year's festival has been the
strongest ever. She noted that a
diverse audience, ranging from
small children to senior citizens,
attended the three-day festival.
Large attendance is due in part
to the Slavic family concept of
family, she explained. "The ex
"We ' have the ability to tell people which
way to go," he said, adding however that "this
country doesn't want black people to think."
America's white leaders can be grouped
into a category he calls "WWWL White
Western World Leaders," Madhubuti said.
They are the decision makers and are very
influential people. However, black leaders are
basically comprised of black ministers who
are directed by white ministers, and are
inferior to the "WWWL."
The only way for black people to become a
more aggressive, prosperous people, Madhu
buti said, is to develop unswaying belief in
thems'elves, to be "one people tied together in
pursuit of knowledge the gathering of
functional information." Black people must
become more aware of what's happening
around them and what. their own beliefs are,
he said.
Madhubuti emphasized the need for better
education of black culture among black stu
dents in order to reach a more progressive
lifestyle. He said that over the last 20 years
black students have not been working "for the
betterment of black people."
Madhubuti concluded his speech with seve
ral goals that black people should work to
ward, including becoming conscious of others,
disliking incompetence, staying committed to
black liberation and becoming politically ac
tive. He believes that by following these
guidelines black people will begin to overcome
their life of "dispirited battle against gigantic
odds."
"Learn to listen to your own silences,"
Madhubuti said. And "maintain realistic ex
pectations of others and yourself."

A single picture presented him
with a puzzle that he had to solve,
Leos said. "It was a mystery that
came to me," he said, "and I had
no choice but to follow it even
though it took me all over the
country."
Leos said that while he was
writing his book he was complete
ly absorbed with his subject.. He
said that although writing was not
everything in his life, he found
himself constantly tied up in his
subject.
"Writing is a lot of work, and
involves much sacrifice," Leos
said: "But if another (story) came
along, I'd have to follow it too."
In addition to recognizing local
authors, the Open House provided
the bookstore with a way to com
pile an updated list of the works by
university people
Elizabeth Wilson, merchandise
supervisor for the bookstore, said
because there is no complete list
ing of those books, it is the
authors'responsibility to tell the
bookstore of their publications.
"We feel the university has so
much to offer in this way, so we're
trying to give the authors as much
exposure as we can," she said.
"However, there's still a lot of
published material out there that
we know nothing about," Wilson
said, "and the authors will just
have to let us know."
tended family is a big thing in
Slavic culture, and something like
this is a real family affair.
"We're never surprised we're
pleased by the turnout. It (the
festival) has been building every
year," she said, noting that al
though most of the performing
talent is local, the Festival draws
people from all over the state.
Entertainment for the weekend
included the Pennsylvania Dance
Theatre, the Penn State Interna
tionale Dancers, the Polish Folk
Dance Ensemble of Baltimore,
Md., and the Serbian Folklore
Group of Cleveland, Ohio. In addi
tion various booths selling native
toys and foods were also available.
The term Slavic, Kapitanoff ex
plained, describes a linguistic
group of the Indo-European family
that encompasses more than ten
nations, including Russia, Poland,
Czechoslovakia and the Ukraine.
_
"People come here simply to
see, to be entertained," she said.
"But most importantly, they're
looking for their roots and
they're proud of them."
