weekend preview This is a good week-end to leave town. Not that there isn’t more than usual happening in Eugene—there is. It’s just that all kinds of things are happening in other towns and the possible combinations fen* activities are almost limitless. For example, you could begin the week-end tonight in Portland at the Rare Earth and Doobie Brothers concert in the Coliseum. You could spend the night in Portland and take in Quicksilver Messenger Service at the Paramount Northwest Theater Friday night. From there you can go to Corvallis—providing you bought one of the already sold-out-student tickets—for the Saturday afternoon basketball game with Oregon State. If you don’t have a ticket, you can watch the game on television beginning at 2:30 p.m. After that it’s back up to Portland for Saturday night’s indoor track meet at the Coliseum. People like Steve Prefontaine and Steve Smith, who recently set a new indoor pole vault record, will be competing. But if you miss the Doobie Brothers tonight, you can still catch them Saturday night— providing you skip the track meet. The Doobies and Steely Dan will be playing at the Salem Ar mory. However, if all this is too much for you, there’s more than usual going on right here, so you don’t really have to leave town to have fun. NUC is putting on “El Chacal de Nahueltoro” tonight in 177 Lawrence at 7 and 9:15 p.m. Ad mission for this flick, which will be showing with “Chile puts On Long Pants,” is $1. El Chacal, the Jackal, is the realistic reenactment of a famous Chilean murder case in which a poor peasant kills a woman and her five children, is caught, tried, found guilty and executed. The actions of the sensational press, the ironic conversion of the murderer during imprisonment and the stark photographic images combine to make one of the most powerful anti-capital punishment films ever put together. The second feature is a documentary on the new Chile. If you don’t feel like going out tonight, you can watch a re-run of Dick Cavett’s “VD Blues” on channel 7 at 7 p.m. The show, which features many rock musicians and other entertainers will be Jazzman Washington in EMU Sunday repeated at 1:30 p.m. Jan. 29, 10 a.m. Jan. 30 and 31 and 1:30 p.m. Jan. 31. If you don’t want to start the week-end until Friday, there’ll still be plenty to do. The musical, comedy “Where’s Charley” begins a five-day run at LCC Friday night. Under the direction of Ed Eagozzino, the players will perform again Saturday night at the same 8 p.m. curtain time. Other performances will be presented Jan. 31, Feb. 1 and Feb. 3. (A 2 p.m. matinee performance will also take place Feb. 3.) All tickets cost $2 and can be reserved by calling 747-4501, ext. 310. On campus Friday night, the East Asian Society will present “King of Swordsmen,” a film about a young swordsman avenging the murder of his family. The color film is directed by Kwok Nan-hung and has English and Chinese subtitles. The movie will be shown at 7 and 9 p.m. Friday night in 180 PLC. On Saturday you have a chance to help a good cause and see a good flick at the same time. The Student Union Against the War will be showing the Marx Brothers in “Monkey Business,” one of their best. Hie show will begin at 7 and 9 p.m. in 180 PLC. Tickets are only 75 cents. Also on Saturday (during the day) the new monthly Saturday Crafts Fair—a winter version of the Saturday Market—'will begin in the Lane County Fairgrounds front round building. Original arts, crafts, wares and other unique creations will be sold from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Admission to the fair will cost 25 cents for adults and 10 cents for children. (Hie money covers the costs of renting the building.) On Sunday the ASUO Cultural Forum has two potential activities to make your day an enjoyable one. First is the movie “Sunday, Bloody Sunday,” which is being shown at 3,6 and 9 p.m. in 180 PLC. Admission is one dollar. The film is the classic iove triangle: a middle-aged man and woman are both in love with the same young man. Peter Dinch and Glenda Jackson as the people in love with the young man turn in very good per formances. The second ASUO offering Sunday is a con cert—really two concerts—by jazz man Grover Washington, Jr. He’ll be playing his sax at 7:30 and again at 10 p.m. Performing with Washington will be “Coal,” a local rock band.
