Performing, on stage
On the Edge hangs
onto the Brass Rail
What they do, they do for the
babyboomer: unadulterated,
anti-establishment, post
Vietnam comedy.
On the Edge, Eugene's one
year-old comedy group, has
brought its new act to The Brass
Rail through the end of May. All
of the material is fresh, and
most, even with the hit-or-miss
improvs that the group is so deft
at, is funny.
One of the more refreshing
things about this zany group is
its reliance on social and
regional satire, with a good
share of political ribbing thrown
it. In spite of its increased
scatalogical cursing — the ever
present refrains of asshole, shit
and other post-'60s linguist
adaptations — On the Edge rare
ly pumps the audience for a
cheap tits-and-ass laugh. Its bag
of tricks is not geared to en
couraging wolf-whistles and
back-of-the bar cat-calls.
Similar to any comedian or
comic group (Jonathan Winters,
Lily Tomlin, Roseanne Rosanna
Danna), On the Edge has begun
to establish a set of characters
that fans recognize immediate
ly. Jerry "Wheatgerm" Camp
bell, who is making a serious
bid to become Eugene's mayor,
developed his "righteous”
hash-smoking, Hot Springs
mellowed persona on stage. In
this performance he and his
friend, Cloud (Danny Bruno)
play a scene in which Cloud
asks the drug-hazed
Wheatgerm, "Hey what hap
pens if you really get elected,
man?"
Wheatgerm finds himself as
King for the Day in Eugene, in
toxicated with tyrannical power.
Such an hallucination becomes
a nightmare to the kind of guy
who just likes a couple of good
mushrooms.
This is only one of the many
sparkling vignettes that the six
members do. They can also
sing; twirl batons; improvise
with audience-initiated clues —
and act. Janet McIntyre, Ernesto
Ravetto, Dan Bruno and Jerry
Campbell do some serious, bit
tersweet scenes in which true
dramatic talent supersedes all
the goofing around. Campbell
also does a great Ronald Reagan
impersonation in a skit where
Reagan makes an appearance
on Fantasy Island. In inimitable
presidential form, Campbell-as
Reagan forgets most of his lines
and finds himself ad-libbing,
"As I was saying to Nancy,
things are more likely today
than ever before."
What we were taught to
respect, On the Edge respectful
ly puts down and kicks around.
With all the satirical pummel
ing, the group is still clever
enough to keep most of its
humor out of the gutter. But if
you harbor a sacred spot for the
military, the young Republicans,
the Beta Max, the thrill of TV
sports, the Brownies, Saturday
Market, and the Boy Scouts, you
could be bargaining for a high
risk evening.
There are a few weak
moments, such as "On the Edge
Court" and a bad parody of the
military. But the highpoints far
outweigh the low. On the Edge
knows its audience, and milks
us suckers for a couple of hours
of laughs.
The show runs May 16-19 and
May 23-16 at The Brass Rail. Call
324-2298 from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
for reservatons. Showtime is 9
p.m.

junior Achievement
'way to earn credit'
By Kohr Harlan
Ol the finerjld
Business majors have an op
portunity to gain hands-on ex
perience in business endeavors
with the Lane County c hapter of
Junior Achievement.
Junior Achievement, a pro
gram teaching high school
students small business
management, begins its annual
search this week for University
business majors to serve as ad
visers for next winter's program.
Advisers can earn upper divi
sion credit hours while guiding
high school students through
processes of issuing stock,
manufacturing and marketing
handmade products.
Marty Clark, program super
visor, emphasizes the important
role University business majors
play in Junior Achievement.
“Not only is it a way for our
high school youths to gain some
valuable business experience,
but it's a great opportunity for
business majors to take the
theories that they have learned
in the classroom and use that
knowledge to guide high school
kids along and to help them
with any problems that may
arise/' Clark says. "It's a very
practical way for students to
earn credit."
Junior Achievement in
troduces student advisers to the
local business ((immunity,
Clark says.
"Our students do a lot of
work with First Interstate bank,
Weyerhauser, and a number of
other consulting firms around
town," he says. "The contacts
that University students make
with these companies may give
them an edge over other
students when seeking employ
ment with these companies," he
says.
Advisers can earn three hours
of 400-level business credit ap
plied to their winter schedules.
The program entails three hours
of advising per week from Oct. 8
through Jan. 29.
"University student advisors
can treat this just like another
class," Clark says. "We will
meet with our advisers in
September to show them exact
ly what to expect and to go over
bookkeeping procedures with
them so that they won't appear
stupid when kids ask
questions."
