ine hurts good acting
Story!
By DEBBIE GOLINI
Collegian Arts Writer
If you spent your days behind a
computer terminal, what would you
do for excitement in the evenings?
Would you decide to visit New York's
SoHo in order to purchase a cream
cheese-and-bagel sculpted paper
weight? Sounds absurd? Well, that's
the pretense behind After Hours, the
latest movie to infiltrate State Col
lege.
After Hours gives a night in the life
of Paul Hackett (Griffin Dunne), a
computer programmer looking for a
little excitement. Paul meets Marci
(Rosanna Arquette) in a coffee shop
after work; she tells him about an
artist friend of hers who sculpts pa
per weights resembling bagels. Now,
Paul, having nothing better to do with
his life than watch television, decides
to visit this friend-- Kinky Bridges
(Linda Fiorentino) under the pre
tense that he really needs a paper
weight. Of course, the audience
knows that he is really interested in
seeing Marci, a very spacey and ditzy
individual. Anyway, Paul heads to
ward SoHo, where his adventures
begin and the audience's boredom
sets in.
To recount Paul's whole evening
would make me relive an experience
I'd rather forget and cause you to
quickly turn the page. Let's just say
that Paul's character was so inept
and dull that this viewer didn't care
what happened to him at the end of
the movie. Paul's visit to SoHo could
best be described as a series of
jumbled scenarios (linked together
by one of the silliest plot twists of all
time) that serve to abuse the talents
of such capable actors as Dunne,
Arquette, Fiorentino, and Teri Garr
(who plays Julie, a beehive-sporting
cocktail waitress who sleeps in a bed
surrounded by mouse traps).
The situations that Dunne's charac
ter finds himself in probably aren't
typical of SoHo on the worst Saturday
night. Poor Paul is chased by a group

A Human Portrait: Five Contemporary
American Photographers, the current exhibit
at Zoller Gallery, is an intense depiction of
life through the lenses of five very different
artists.
Shelby Lee Adams captures tough, yet
weathered people in the Appalachian moun
tains of Eastern Kentucky. "These pictures
are in no way to be interpreted as a general
representation of Appalachian people or their
culture today," Adams said. His series of
portraits shows the dreary life in the back
woods of Kentucky.
Adams' work, which spans 10 years, is
almost painful to experience. In "Untitled
(girl)", a young blonde girl with arms
folded —gives a sorrowful yet defiant look
into the camera. Many of the other individual
pictures show old, angry men. "Lee Hall
Coal Miner" is an elderly ex-miner with one
eye and numerous wrinkles and whiskers.
The most upsetting portraits are Adams'
family collections. The family of outcasts
show hopelessly poor and disturbed people,
where the only possible healthy member also
becomes a disappointment. "Correrrine Age

of angry tenants who believe he's
behind a rash of burglaries; he has to
deal with schizophrenic Marci; and
he becomes a paper weight himself
when another sculptor (Verna
Bloom) decides that that's the best
way to hide him from the tenants.
The problem with After -Hours
stems from the fact that the plot tries
to encompass too many of the oddities
found in SoHo. Had the script writer
just kept to one or two situations, the
characters could have been more
clearly developed. Instead, about
seven or eight characters are thrown
at us without ample background or
time to develop them. When we get
used to Paul interacting with Marci,
for instance, he is quickly forced to
move to a different locale, where! a
new group of weirdos take over to
make his evening a nightmare.
In a movie that skips around as
much as After Hours does, it is hard
to adequately judge the acting.
Dunne is believable as a man who is
bored and wants excitement. But the
audience quickly loses interest in his
plight as his character keeps getting
himself into one stupid situation after
another.
The supporting actors are equally
hard to evaluate, for they move on
and off screen at a rapid pace. Ar
quette pcirtrays her character as the
flake she is intended to be. Through
her facial expressions and
movements she makes Marci a rea
listic, if not pathetic, character. Fio
rentino has perhaps the best role in
the movie: Kinky Bridges is an artist
who is into bondage and hanging out
in a dance club that shaves the heads
of its customers. Playing the role to
perfection, she demonstrates the
toughness and artistic quirkiness that
would characterize a person like
Kinky. Garr's role of Julie is quite
small, and once again she plays a
woman who seems a bit afraid of her
own shadow. Garr has a way, though,
of making a cocktail waitress who
wears a beehive and listens to old
Monkee's albums seem plausible.
illustrate
14" illustrates a glimmer of hope, as the
young girl in the picture looks content, serene
and, above all, clean. But then the next
portrait in the series is "Correrine Age 16
w/ baby." At that stage Correrrine is fatter,
dirtier and more miserable looking. Her total
transformation is completed in the third
photo of her mini-biography, appropriately
titled "The Cycle." Here, as Correrrine, her
brother and her toddler sit directionless and
unmotivated on their porch, Adams clearly
states that it is almost impossible to wrench
one's self out of such desperate poverty.
"My purpose with my photography is to
confront the viewer with something he may
never have encountered before his own
vulnerability and humanity," Adams asserts.
He continues the confrontation with cafe
portfolios in Cincinnati. These people also
look angry and bitter, especially "Granite
Man," with determined animosity set into the
lines of his face.
Mark Goodman is' another artist in this
exhibition whose work depicts the down-trod
den. Goodman, however, photographs in Mill
erton, NY, an area to which he was a total
stranger before his 10-year shoot there. Ad
ams was born in Kentucky, and his work
seems more in-touch with the emotional
spotlight
Lima's interests go beyond supernatural
By JILL S. KOSKO
Collegian Arts. Writer
Professor Robert Lima becomes a
pretty popular guy around the spoo
kiest time of year. Those interested
in learning the history of Halloween
know he's the right man to talk to.
Recognized for his knowledge of
the supernatural, Lima, professor of
Spanish and comparitive literatures
is perhaps best known to University
students for his course Comp Lit 120,
literature of the occult. "Back in the
late 1960 s when everyone was trying
to find new ways of expression and
new courses, I was invited by the
college to create a course. And
that's what I came up with. I was
amazed that they accepted it a lot
of people are very biased."
Lima stressed that Comp Lit 120 is
about people's beliefs in the occult,
not how to practice them. "The first
thing I say in class is, 'those of you
who are here to learn how to do this
are in the wrong course.' A few
people get up and leave."
His curiosity in the subject stems
from his childhood in Cuba where
there exists a strong tradition of the
occult in areas like voodoo. No, that
doesn't mean that Lima is sticking
pins in replica dolls of his least
favorite students; nor does he nec
essarily adopt the beliefs of the
occult. But he does believe in the
ability people have to believe. "I
Violation, Space Goop undergo changes
By PAT GRANDJEAN and
NATALIE NICHOLS
Collegian Arts Writers
Violation
Members of Violation changed its
lead singer and.format since a suc
cessful summer as professional musi
cians, band member David Franklin
said.
The band, consisting of Franklin on
percussion, Nathan Thompson on
rhythm guitar, Steven Zoffer on bass
and former lead singer Steve Shartel,
supported itself solely through gigs at
local bars such as Nello's, the Brick
house and the Phyrst this summer,
Fianklin said. The band also per
formed at the 19th annual Central
Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts and
several fraternities during the sum
mer.
Since then, Shartel graduated and
was replaced by current lead singer
and guitarist David Lamb at the end
of the summer. This change
prompted a step in a different direc
tion, he said.
Violation changed its format from
mostly covers of 60s bands such as
the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and
Creedence Clearwater Revival, to
more recent, danceable tunes by mu
sicians such as the Police, Bruce
Springsteen and Talking Heads. De
spite the change, Franklin said, Vio
lation's musical philosophy is the
same.
"We play music with meaning," he
said, "I wouldn't play anything else."
The band is also working on more
original music. "We'll probably have
one-third to one-half originals by the
end of the semester," Franklin said.
He said that when the Violation
played their song, "Don't Let It Both
er You," at the Oct. 11 anti-apartheid
rally, the crowd gave the band mem
bers positive feedback about it.
The band likes to get involved with
five photographers' diligent work
realities of those folk, as compared to Good
man's more detached, foreign outlook.
Goodman's lighter, more whimsical photos
have the appearance of family snapshots, but
are very interesting. He includes a simple
shot of a boyscout; then in the next photo, a
young woman clad in black and with an old,
tired, distant expression is in the foreground.
The background of the woman's portrait is a
white mannequin that contrasts the dark
reality in the woman's face. Other works
include an endearingly chunky girlscout with
long blonde braids who seems familiar and
friendly, especially compared to Goodman's
more posed attitudes. These photos are apt to
make one smile and therefore serve as much
needed cheerful relief.
An upbeat collection of work is contributed
by Melissa Shook, who photographed her
daughter Krissy from infancy through young
adulthood. Shook captures her daughter's
playful innocence in the earliest portraits and
shows Krissy metamorphosizing into a young
adult at the tender age of seven. In "Krissy,
Nova Scotia," Krissy sunbathes in a bathing
beauty pose, wearing sunglasses and lying
next to a doll on its own beachtowel. Though
still a child, Krissy is beginning to take
herself and life —more seriously.
take their belief system seriously.
People have a right to their beliefs
no matter how weird weird in our
sense they are. What is strange to
us may be in fact very normal to
someone else."
A man of varied interests, Lima
does more than teach. An author of
poems, plays, novels and essays, a
literary critic, a semi-professional
archeologist and a translator of
Spanish literature are just some of
Lima's occupations and activities.
Recently the Society of Inter-Celtic
Arts and Culture published his new
est book "The Olde Ground," a book
of 19 poems complete with illustra
tions. The poems were inspired by
archeological sites that Lima vis
ited in France, Spain and the British
Isles. He is also an expert on Argen
tine writer Jorges • Liiis Borges
(whom he knows personally) and he
has just finished a biography on
Spanish writer Valle Inclan. In the
future he hopes to write a book on
how Christianity has adopted pagan
festivals for its own purposes. But
now on his year long sabbatical, he
is mainly concentrating on poetry.
Born in Cuba to parents of Hispan
ic origin, he didn't know a word of
English until age 8 when he arrived
in New York in 1945, shortly before
World War II ended. Exposed to the
"American Experience," he grew to
love New York, learning "street
smarts," stick ball and the English
its audience, Franklin said. The
members encourage the crowd to
dance and put a lot of energy into
their performance, in hopes that the
audience will pick up on it.
The Violation plans to play in the
bars again this year, Franklin said,
and should be featured at the Phryst
within a month.
Space Coop
Space Goop (featuring guitarists
J.R. Mangan and Mike Biddison and
drummer DaVe Biddison) made a
flaky but most successful local debut
during last St. Patrick's Day week
end. Since then the trio has found
solid employment at the Brickhouse,
the Phyrst and the Brewery. Dave
Biddison emphasized that his group
has been through several major
changes in the last few months.
"We've added material, we're tight
er, and we're used to each other," he
said.
The bandmembers infuse their per
formances with energetic and goofy
onstage antics that earn a very warm
response from the audience. They
specialize in classic cover songs from
the '6os and '7os, such as Neil Young's

Also included in their sets are several
songs by the Beatles, the Rolling

additions include "Day Tripper" and

Personnel shifts have been a regu
lar part of Space Goop's routine since
its earlier incarnations as Ticapoo
Brain and Ruth Tissue. Lately, the
group has taken to filling the gap left
by the departure of saxophonist Ter
ry Selders (he is now the band's
agent) by occasionally inviting gui
tarist Charlie "Slick" to sit in with
language. Now, he doesn't even car
ry a trace of an accent.
Lima lived in New York for 20
years. "I've always , considered my

he said.
At Villanova University, he re
ceived an undergraduate degree in
English and philosophy and a Mas
ters degree in theater and drama.
Afterwards, he was a freelance
writer, editor and translator for
several New York City publishers.
In addition, he worked in film and
theater, writing a few plays, acting,
directing and designing. But as he
became more and more interested
in writing, Lima gave up the theater
world, finding its way of life too
unsettled. "I needed to find some
peace of mind," he said. "After all
that I tried teaching."
Lima feels teaching has been his
most rewarding job. "It's a fas
cinating thing there's so many
facets to it. You get to meet a lot of
different people and have an effect
on the way people are shaped. You
can open up their minds and put
some good things in there. Plus
teaching gives me blocks of time in
between to write."
In 1962, Lima began his teaching

This compares to Shook's more straight-for
ward shots of Krissy as a baby. The most
unusual photo in her presentation is titled a
"Self-Portrait with Krissy." The self-portrait
reveals only Shook's feet as Krissy sits prom
inently in a chair. It makes the observer
wonder: Does Shook see herself as just a pair
of feet in comparison to her daughter's entire
being?
The fourth photographer, Ken Light, will
have his displayed photos included in With
These Hands, a book to be published next
spring. Light's work is in tribute to the "labor
that feeds America" and portrays cannery
workers, a potato picker and other remnants
of an aspect of American life that most people
never let themselves become familiar with.
Light zeroes in on realities inherent in a
migrant worker's existence, even to the point
of including his photo "Field Latrines," a
photo of dingy, dirty wooden outhouses
marked "Ma" and "Pa." Most of Light's
display depicts stark, real people, tool in
hand, as in "Hoer Pepper Field," where a
tanned, wrinkled man squints in the sunlight

arrival at State College in 1965 was a
big change from his life in one of the
world's largest cities. In an autobio
graphical article appearing in last
July's Town and Gown, he writes,
"The question then was whether
having left my New York City roots,
contacts, and motivatation all

environment. In short, I had to come

That took time, but it happened."
Married for 21 years and a father
of four kids, Lima feels that State
College is a nice place to raise a
family. But every once in a while he
has to get away. "You appreciate
things more when you get back," he
said.
'Lima enjoys traveling by himself,
feeling that by being alone, he expe
riences things more intensely.
"That's important to writing to
experience things intensely. That's
what triggers creativity," he said.
However, Lima doesn't feel one
has to travel far and experience
many things to be a good writer.
"You just have to pay attention. Pay
attention to what goes on around
you. It's what's inside you that mat
ters. You have to develop your own
perspective and learn to share it
with the world. That's what writing
is all about."

Debbie Fleming Caffery's work uses the
most abstract approach. Caffery shows the
real emotions that the other artists captured,
but she also plays successfully with texture
and lighting to create a mysterious mood. In
"Profile of Boy with Shadow," a young black
boy looks off into the distance with his shad
ow behind him. He appears to be looking
ahead toward his future, yet not able to
escape from a past shadow or history. This is
just one of Caffery's many thought-provoking
renditions. "Overseers Arm on Dirty Truck"
takes an ordinary worker's pose and forces
the audience to see a whole world in just a
man's arm. Dark tones and provoking light
ing make her "Polly" series of portraits
fascinating. Polly, a large woman with a
proud presence, looks different in each shot,
depending on Caffery's use of angle, shadow
ing and focus, thus creating true artwork.
