S. African Discusses Home
by Steve Schmelzer
"Apartheid is the only way to
go for South Africa." This was
one of the statements made by
Denice Norman when she talked
to Mrs. McAlasters African Lit.
classes about her homeland.
Visted African Lit. Classes
Miss Norman visited Ashland
High March 8 to relate some of
her experiences in the U. S., and
to tell the students what South
Africa is like. Miss Norman feels
that the apartheid system in
in my country are absolutely
terrified of the Blacks." Denice
also remarked that she is scared
of what might happen if the
Blacks ever took control of the
country.
No Television in South Africa
Miss Norman finds watching
television very entertaining. In
South Africa there is no television
because 12 different languages
are spoken and it would be hard
to have television so that every
one could understand what was
being said. However, the radio
stations are very good, they even
have radio soap operas.
Attends Phoenix high
Denice is presently attending
Phoenix High School as a foreign
exchange student. She remarked
that she really misses her home
town of Johannesburg and her
family though she finds America
somewhat similar to her home
land in that both countries are
highly materialistic.
South Africa is a highly
industrialized country that sup
plies much of the world's
diamond supply and four-fifths of
has kept some law and order. the world's gold supply. South
She said, "I'm completely un- Africa is seeking other major
prejudiced. Human beings are industries than the gold industry
human beings no matter what because the gold supply is expec-
their color, but most of the Whites ted to be exhausted in 30 years.

Fresh Raspberries contains a light rock sound much like the very
early rock n' roll bands such as Herman's Hermits and very early
Beatles. Very early Beatles meaning thirty years ago while John,
Paul, George and Ringo were still in their playpens.
The Rasplerries consists of four: Eric Carmin, rhythm guitar,
piano and vocals; David Smalley, bass guitar and vocals; Wally
Bryson, lead guitar and vocals; and Jim Bonfanti, drums and vocals.
The album opens with "I Wanna Be With You," in which lyrics and
instrumental are fairly poor for this type of rock. It really has no
hard-driving or even a specific rhythm, and the guitar sounds like
someone scraping their fingernails over a chalk-board.
Another of the better songs on the album is "Every Way I Can."
This song has the old over-driving rock n' roll rhythm such as most of
Chuck Berry's music; however. Chuck Berry was a good guitar player
and was able to keep a steady rhythm.
A definite change of pace is found in "Drivin' Around." This
comes as close to the old Beach Boy surfin' music as any other song
has; however, no other band but the Raspberries has ever attempted
to copy the Beach Boys popular surfin' music, and the Raspberries
made a pretty poor attempt.
Other songs on the album include "Coin' Nowhere Tonight," "Let's
Pretend," "I Reach For The Light," "Nobody Knows," "It Seemed So
Easy." "Might As Well "and "If You Change Your Mind." Each of
these songs are some of the poorest bubble-gum, rock-ballads ever put
on the LP.
If this album represents the talent of the group, then the
Raspberries are a very raspy band.

The 'Haus' That Straus Built
What do you do when you want something
and no one else can do it for you? You do it
yourself.
This is just what art teacher Warren Straus
and his wife have done with their new house
overlooking Lithia Park.
"We knew what kind of house we wanted to
have and the only way to have it was to build it
ourselves," he commented.
When asked why he built it, he promptly
replied, "Money. It was cheaper to build our own
house than to have someone else do it."
Designed by Straus
Straus and his cousin, who plans to be an
architect, designed the house. It was constructed
by Straus and a carpenter. Work started in July
and Straus and his wife moved in January 28.
The house is designed with the rough terrain
in mind. Consequently, it has a sunken living
room.
Another unique feature is the fact that the
interior, as well as the exterior of the house are
finished in wooden shingles.
Designed with Art in Mind
Straus designed the house with his interest in
art in mind. There are numerous studio lights,
the type used in art galleries and museums
throughout the house. These illuminate the
varied collection of art pieces, many of them
original, which decorate the house.
Straus is still finishing the carport on
weekends and plans to add a studio to what he
calls his largest "sculpture."

Literature Of Imagination
by Dale Nelson
The epic is a literary form not often found in the realm of science
fiction. But Dune, by Frank Herbert, is just that: an adventure that
spans centuries of history, many supporting characters in addition to
the central figure, and the destiny of a galactic empire.
Frank Herbert's novel shows the ascent of Paul Atreides, the heir
of an exiled family, who leads the fierce nomads of the desert planet
Arrakis into an angry nation which throws off the corrupt government
which had arisen on the planet. This novel is a veritable history of the
far future when mankind was forgotten that its home world was Earth.
Dune is to SF what Lord of the Rings by Tolkien is to fantasy. Dune
is backed up by almost fifty pages of appendices, including a map,
supplementing the story. And indeed some readers may find these
references useful, for Dune is not a simple novel. The actions and
interactions of the characters, and the results they bring about are
considerably involved.
Like Lord of the Rings, Dune has much detail on the cultures of the
world it portrays. Here, though, everything is very intricately
intertwined with ecology of a planet with no surface bodies of water.
So several types of readers may find themselves enjoying Dune:
those who find pleasure in stories of adventure and characterization,
those who enjoy stories of man working with and adapting to his
environment, and thos.e who simply enjoy a tale of a far-flung future
Leather jackets, greased back
hair, and bobby -sox will be
revived tonight at the "Back to
Fifties" dance sponsored by the
SSS committee and J. V. Rally
Squad.
Admission to the dance, to be
held in the cafeteria at eight
tonight, will be $1.00 "stag" and
$1.50 "drag."
Dave Wight and a section of the
jazz band will play the "im
mortal" tunes of the Fifties.
Dave Koch and Dan Jarrell will
be singing, and Rob Randall will
do some improvisation on the
school's synthesizer while the
band takes a breather.
According to Laurie F. Jones,
publicity person, there will be
a variety of activities. There will
be a kissing booth with Dan
Jarrell, Craig Siebienlist, Kim
Knudson. and Zan Nix "peddling
their wares," said Miss Jones.
Other activities will include
"Lover's Lane," "Daredevil's
Corner," and "The Malt Shop."
There will be a "Photo Corner"
with Harold Berninghausen tak
ing pictures of people in costume
only.
"There will also be a five dollar
door prize for the best costume at
the dance," added Miss Jones.
