LOS ANGELES r- Christopher Cross says there are two
reasons why it took him three years to release the follow
up album to his phenomenally successful debut record:
"Arthur and my divorce."
Cross sang the theme to the 1981 Dudley Moore-Liza
Minnelli film, "Arthur," and it earned an Academy Award
for best song for its four co-writers: Cross, Carole Bayer
Sager, Burt ,Bacharach and Peter Allen.

Douglas Albert features
photography exhibit
Whether you're just wandering
past the Tavern, or you're stu
diously searching for a good pho
tography exhibit; you might want
to' stop in at the Douglas Albert
Gallery. "The Eyes Have It," a
new exhibition of seven photogra
phers' work, is currently on dis
play in this gallery.
The work of the photographers
featured have a variety of both
styles and subject matter. Dick
Brown has captured the Amish
lifestyle and the Pennsylvania
landscape in his works. Chris Rho
des, a self-taught photographer,
has turned to the underwater
world for her subjects. California
artist Keith Short has a series of
,4 1 4V1

color abstracts on display. Keith
Nelson has logged some of his
travels through Alaska. Mary
Armstrong has focused on individ
uals with her portrait work, Thea
Weeks has created color studies of
wildlife and former photo-journa
lism professor Ed Leos has work
in black and white., So there is
work for people of most interests.
As part of the exhibition, Short
will give a talked titled "On Pho
tography" tomorrow night at 7:30.
The talk is open to the public and \'
free of charge, although the gal
lery would appreciate if people
planning to attend would call in
advance.

Another 'Rocky' sequel expected, 'E.T.' star says 'Stop at one'
Though the song only took one night to compose, Cross
says it ended up occupying much of his time for the next
year, mainly in foreign appearances: He says it was the
film song and not his 1980 "Christopher Cross" LP —which
earned three Grammy Awards and sold more than 4
million copies that made him an international pop star.
Meanwhile, his seven-year marriage ended in divorce in
July 1982.
"It was time-consuming and emotionally consuming,"
the 32-year-old singer-songwriter says.
LOS ANGELES You won't hear guitarist-singer
George Benson crooning lyrics that are sexy or even
suggestive because it goes against his religious beliefs.
Benson, a Jehovah's Witness, says his refusal to sing
songs' with racy lyrics has caused problems with his
record producers during the song selection process.
He recalls tangling with Grammy Award-winning pro
ducer Quincy Jones during sessions for his hit 1980 album,
"Give Me the Night "
"He didn't see anything wrong with songs that sug
gested bedroom-type stuff," Benson said. "But I did. So
things became a bit strained.
"I'm not blaming Quincy," Benson adds. "He was just
doing his job."
Jones and Benson haven't worked together since. Arif
Mardin produced Benson's current album, "In Your
Eyes."

IV" in Sylvester Stallone's future.

Summer programming slow, Nielsens have
CBS, ABC and NBC neck and neck
By JERRY BUCK
AP Television Writer
LOS ANGELES "Circus of the, Stars," a
special featuring daredevil feats by celebrities,
was the top show in the Nielsen ratings as CBS won
the week ending Aug. 28
The three networks came within one-half a rating
point of each other.
CBS held on to first place for the fourth straight
week after turning back a strong surge by ABC,
which placed second after four straight weeks in
third, and NBC was third.
CBS took the week with a network average of 13.1
in the A.C. Nielsen Co. survey. ABC was second
with 12.8 and NBC was third with 12.6. The net
works say this means that in an average prime
time minute 13.1, percent of the nation's television
homes were tuned to CBS.
It was the second go-round for "Circus of the
Stars," which was was fifth in the ratings when it
Stallone is writing a new script in the saga of heavy
weight boxer Rocky Balboa, says Al Newman, a spokes
man for MGM-UA. Stallone will also star and direct, with
a production start date tentatively set for November 1984.
Published reports say Stallone is asking $l5 million to
put' on his gloves again, but Newman said he had no
comment.
Meanwhile, Stallone has two other acting commitments
before a final decision is made on "Rocky IV."
LOS ANGELES How about a round of applause for
Harry, the mutt in the Saint Bernard suit. He's the real
doggie star of the horror movie based on Stephen King's
bestseller, "Cujo "
The movie is about a rabid Saint Bernard. Maybe Saint
Bernards are too busy carrying little kegs of brandy in the
snow to act rabid. Actually, they're very lousy at it.
Producers Daniel Blatt and Robeit Singer had to turn to
bogus Bernards. Cujo is played by four real Saint Ber
nards, various mechanical Saint Bernards and Harry
the dog in the Saint Bernard costume.
Harry's ability to snarl on command has earned him
mad dog roles in "Amityville Horror" and a number of
television productions. Harry spent 13 weeks bulging his
eyeballs and foaming at the mouth inside a specially made
Saint Bernard suit that covered his entire body.
- - - -
Offscreen, Harry is a "cuddly little mutt," according to
his owner, Karl Miller, a veteran Hollywood trainer.
Miller said he rescued Harry, a mixed Black Labrador
and Great Dane, from an animal center five years ago for

Mickey Rooney was ringmaster and the special
featured such acts as Linda Blair as a lion tamer,
Ethan Phillips doing a handstand on a sway pole
nine stories high, and Todd Bridges and Barbie
Benton on the trapeze.
Despite CBS' first-place finish, the network did
not grab the lion's share of the Top 10. Third-place
NBC had four shows in the Top 10. CBS and ABC
each had three.
The ABC magazine show "20-20" was second in
the ratings. In third place was NBC's telecast of the
Burt Reynolds movie "The_ End." NBC's "The A-
Team" was fourth and the CBS magazine show "60
Minutes" was fifth.
ABC's "Fantasy Island" was sixth, CBS' "The
Jeffersons" and NBC's "Facts of Life" were tied
for seventh, NBC's "Knight Rider" was ninth, and
the ABC movie "The Choir Boys" was tenth.

LOS ANGELES Dee Wallace, who soared to fame in
"E.T. —The Extra-Terrestrial," hopes there won't be a
sequel,
Even though the Steven Spielberg film was the biggest
moneymaker in movie history, the actress says: "I'd like
to see `E.T.' remain a classic. There's no reason why
every hit' film must have a sequel. After all, there was no
`Wizard of Oz II '"
Nor did Hollywood make sequels to other classics, such
as "Gone With the Wind," "Casablanca," "It Happened
One Night," "The African Queen," "Snow White and the
Seven Dwarfs," "Shane," "From Here to Eternity" or
"The Bridge on the River Kwai."
Sylvester Stallone (above), who has brought anxious
movie fans into the theaters for three "Rocky" segments,
is now working on plans for a fourth episode in the saga of
Rocky Balboa. The filming is set to get underway late in
1984.

EXECUTIVE & GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS
Students are involved in decision
making at the University in several

way up to the Board of Trustees.
Students constitute 10 percent of the

GREEK ORGANIZATIONS
Penn State has 50 active fraternities, most of which have houses in State
College or on campus. The University's nineteen sororities have floors and
suites in the residence halls on campus. Each chapter is distinct from the
others, though a certain philosophy is shared by all: a philosophy involving
goals of friendship, academic achievement, social enjoyment, athletic endeav
or, and an interest in the welfare of others.
Penn State's fraternities and sororities are known for their charitable and
philanthropic projects. These range from .fund•raising drives for- various
charities to active volunteer work in community groups. In addition to
individual chapter activities, the Greeks as a whole sponsor special events
which benefit the entire community. Two of these are Homecoming (the
Greeks brought back the Homecoming parade, a tradition which had been
discontinued) and the Dance Marathon (the proceeds go to charity).
When groups select members, each uses its own criteria. Some look for
students majoring in specific fields, having certain career interests, or
engaging in particular extracurricular activities. Other groups seek diversity in
members' backgrounds and goals. •
