Edwards To Speak On Sports

by Martha Vander Kolk

On Thursday, October 11, Phi Epsilon Kappa and the Depart-ment of Physical Education, Recreation, and Athletics are sponsoring two talks by Dr. Harry Edwards, Professor of Sociology at the University of California at Berkeley.

Dr. Edwards will be delivering two lectures, one at 11:00 AM en-titled "Sport, Politics, and the Olympics - Where to From Here?" and another at 2:00 PM on "Striving for Victory - A Sen-sible Approach to Sport." Both lectures will be given in Wichers Auditorium.

Dr. Edwards is a prominent figure in the study of sports and how it affects the black athlete.

He "has done more than anyone to expose and analyze what he calls 4the great American Myth' -the media inspired illusion that pursuing a sports career can be a way out of poverty for significant number of black youth," ac-cording to Robert L. Allen in the Washington Post Book World.

Edwards attended San Jose State University on an athletic scholarship, where he graduated with a B.A. in Sociology. He then went on to receive his M.A. and Ph.D. at Cornell University.

During his time at Cornell, Ed-wards became greatly influenc-ed by Malcolm X which led him to examine the state of black athletes in sports. He was a chief organizer of the black athletes' protest at the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City. His feel-ings on this subject have a very

legitimate root: he was a poor black youth whose father pushed him in the direction of sports so that he could escape his present conditions.

Edwards has had approx-imately 50 articles published in a wide range of journals and has lectured at more than 500 col-l e g e s a n d u n i v e r s i t i e s in America. Also in demand on many television programs and for newspaper interviews, he has become one of the leading spokesmen for human rights in our country.

E d w a r d s is an exce l len t speaker with a great deal to say-about the condition of sports in America. Everyone is invited to attend both the 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM lectures. He will also be speaking on similar topics Oc-tober 12 at Calvin College.

Dr. Harry Edwards will be speaking on sports this Thursday.

Pianist Highlights GPS No. 2

by John VanWarren

I n t e r n a t i o n a l l y a c c l a i m e d pianist Alicia do Larrocha will join the Grand Rapids Symphony in presenting a concert Thurs-day, October 11 at 8 PM in Dim-nent as the second event of the Hope Great Per formance Series.

-Tickets will be available at the door for $3 for students. They may also be purchased in ad-vance in the College Relations Otfice, second floor of DeWitt.

The Grand Rapids Symphony, under the direction of Semyon Bychkov, is returning to the Hope series for the second season. They will return for other concerts January 17 and April 11.

The Spanish pianist Alicia de Lar rocha , whose f ame has skyrocke ted throughout the

world, is one of this century's titans of the keyboard. She made here public debut early in 1929, and embarked on a career which has become in recent years one of fanatical devotion from con-certgoers throughout the world.

Critics have lavished upon this petite, smiling virtuosa the most extraordinary adjectives. "...Not so much an audience for the Spanish pianist as a congrega-tion. one that has grown steadily in devotion over the last 15 years ," wrote Donal Henahan of The New York Times. After another recent recital. The NY Times said: "She is one of the most finished pianists before the public. Prominent in her arsenal are the three T's of Pianism -Technique, Tone and Taste. Those little hands of hers gobble up the keyboard in any con-figurations.*"

The record world in general seems to agree, as Miss de Lar-rocha was recently awarded a Grammy by the recording in-dustry for the second year in a row.

Having distinguished himself as one of the most exciting young conductors in America, Semyon Bychkov was named Music Director of the Buffalo Philhar-monic Orchestra beginning in 1985. Filling in on a very short notice this past February for Bernard Haitink, he received s t a n d i n g o v a t i o n s a n d widespread acclaim in the Euro-pean press for his conducting of an all French program at a con-cert of Holland's famed Concer-tgebouw.

Young a n d old p e r f o r m together this Thursday in the se-cond event of the Great Per-formance Series.

Bloom County Who's Who and What's What

by Jazz VanKlompen

One of the most noticable changes in the Anchor this year is the addition of a nationally syndicated cartoon strip, namely "Bloom County." But just where did it come from and what is go-ing on in it? Let's find out...

Berke Breathed ( rhymes with "method" and, yes, that Is his real name) is the man behind the cartoon. Born In 1957, Breathed attended the University of Texas where he drew "The Academla Waltz" cartoon strip for The Dal-l y T e x a n , t h e c a m p u s newspaper.

"Bloom County" can best be . described as "Doonesbury" with a large dose of Dr. Seuss. While "Bloom" is a social commentary strip a la "Doonesbury," Breath-ed injects a wild sense of craziness into it which distinctly sets it apart from all other strips on the market.

Most of this craziness comes from the characters who inhabit the strip. And, to best understand what is going on, each of these characters must be understood.

Let 's start with everyone's favorite penguin: Opus. Over the few years the strip has been in existance, Opus has become the heart and soul of ' 'Bloom Coun-ty." He appears wherever and whenever, interjecting his slight-ly off-center thoughts and ideas into the situation. In his short career . Opus has, among other things, gone to court to fight for the teaching of "penguin evolu-tion," led a revolt against Ken-tucky Fried Chicken for "serv-ing... (his) ...friends as food," starred as "E .P . the Extra-Terrestrial Penguin," gone in search of his mother, and out-done "Sting and the boys" at a rock concert. Currently Opus is the vice-presidential candidate for the . Meadow Par ty and spends most of his time cam-paigning.

Bill the Cat heads the Meadow Party ticket as their nominee for president. Bill has led an in-teresting life, reaching the pin-nacle of success, dying, and then being brought back to life.

Mile Is the activist of the strip both In his guise as ace reporter and Meadow Par ty campaign manager. He is a true en-trepreneur who likes to stick it to anybody who does not agree with his slightly liberal viewpoints, especially Steve Dallas.

Steve Dallas is a "stud-in-t raining;" a real man who hasn't qui te ach ieved the " r e a l " although he thinks he has. Steve is an old fraternity boy who hasn't grown up yet.

B l n k l e y Is a typical, insecure, little kid. His "closet of anx-ieties" (starring none other than the Snorklewacker) has haunted him for quite some t ime. Binkley's still trying to find himself and therefore is quite easily influenced by what he sees and hears. He and Mllo a re very good friends. Binkley has a

father who his son will a real man.

Oliver is pirate and strip. With

is quite hopeful that grow up and become

the little computer super-genius of the his computer Oliver

can, and does, do anything and everything. Oliver is the one to blame for the return of Bill the Cat. He cloned a new Bill out of part of Bill's tongue. Oliver has two quite normal parents.
