Play theme concerns equality Photo by Brian Snook Paintings and drawings by student members of the Association of College Unions Inter zonal are on exhibit in the CC Mall.

Women and equality are thematic threads blending history, drama and music into an exciting performance by The Co-Respon dents at Clackamas Community College on Wednesday, April 20, noon, in the Com munity Center, Room 117. In "Give 'em an Inch," the controversies of the 'woman's role' echo through cen tury-old writings, virtually indistinguishable from arguments of today. IN REVIEW One good, one not so good By Vicki Josi Staff Writer I The NewMime Circus, a Eugene theatre company, performed "Two Intimate Plays Inside the Mind Zone" April 8 and 9 at the Pythian in Port land. I The two plays, performed both Evenings, are Vanya Franck's, "Spec- trum of One", and "Sing to Me through Open Windows" by Arthur IKopit. I “Spectrum of One" is an intimate poem-play written for voices. It deals with three aspects of a woman; her Intellect, her sex and her soul. Their struggle is to unite in one person and is enacted with movement, vocaliza tion and electronic music. Mary Beth Brown, Dana Clavin and Nancy Cave did very good performances of por- trying the conflict within a person of these three aspects. I During intermission, juggling was performed by Cary Caulder. ■damas Community College "Sing to Me Through Open Win dows" concerns a boy, a magician, a clown and the death roles of a child's magical illusions. This play was hard to follow, and wasn't nearly as drama tic as "Spectrum of One". Album carves best potent comedy in years By Jim Rogers Cougar Print Editor Can a refugee from "Mary Hart man, Mary Hartman" find happiness in the role of an up-and-coming mu sical genius? Martin Mull's new album, "I'm Everyone I've Ever Loved," does not even attempt to answer that question. What the album does provide is some of the best comedy to be carved in wax in the last ten years. Mull, who made his name a house hold word of some sort by portraying the character Garth Gimble on the Mary Hartman series, is a comic genius unbound by good taste, good sense or good grammar. The selections on his newest effort range in subject manner from alcohol ism, a predominant theme, to selling out, the other predominant theme, to perversions to egotism to strained re lations to. . .well, you get the idea. This album is full of all sorts of funny things, including bits of dialogue between songs featuring Rob Reiner as the record company president. This album also features some very good musicians backing Mull, including Ron Carter and Chuck Rainey on bass, and Amos Garrett on guitar. Mull has always gone out of his way to step on the toes that feed him and this album is no exception. If you get hold of this album pay special attention to his sarcastic treatments of disco music, the "Philadelphia" sound, and the wonderful world of professional music in general. Martin Mull will be playing the Paramount Theatre in Portland Satur day, April 19 as the opening act for Michael Franks (Popsicle Toes). While I can't make any predictions on how well Franks' performance will go I can say that Mull will more than make up for anything that the former does or does not do. I also recommend that you buy "I'm Everyone I've Ever Loved." This is the most potent comedy record I have heard in quite awhile. Page 9
