Portland, Oregon 97204 Speaking before the North Portland meeting of the Save Our County Charter Committee Senator Vern Cook (D) Gres ham criticized the Multnomah County Commissioners for refusing to issue a voters pamphlet covering the forth coming special election to repeal the county charter amendments voted into the Multnomah County Charter by the voters at the general election last No vember. Senator Cook stated that the compromise offer to print the text of the measure made by the League of Women Voters explaining the arguments in the Oregonian, Journal, and Gresham Out look was not an adequate substitute for a voter’s pamphlet. Senator Cook pointed out, “The Oregonian and Journal reach not more than 60% of the approximate 236,000 households in Multnomah County.” He further stated, “If news papers are to be used as a substitute for the voters pamphlet the County Commis sioners should also utilize The Commu nity Press, The St. Johns Review, The Sellwood-Moreland Bee, The Portland Observer, and the other local newspapers with strong local readership. The use of these additional local papers should in crease the delivery to an estimated 90% of Multnomah County households. This latter approach would be the next best thing to a voters pamphlet.” Study Africa The Black Studies Center of Port land State University and the American Friends Service Committee are sponsor ing a series of workshops on Africa.

Quid* by Allen Jo “STARDUST” - ITS A WINNER!! “Stardust” is the best locally produced musical I’ve seen in years. It is presented by Star Productions and directed by the multi-talented Rosemary Allen. With gifted Thara Memory doing the musical arrangements. “Stardust” is a musical about Black people - their sorrow, their happiness, their dreams, their frustrations and their relentless strides for stardom. “Stardust” incorporates the Black Renaissance of the 20’s, when Black people were making measurable headway on all fronts in American society. “Stardust” denotes the general attitude of Black during that era and brings you right along to the year 1977 with “The Wiz.” There are scenes from several Broadway musicals:“Purlie,” “Porgy and B ess,’ “Raisin In The Sun,” “Green Pastures,” and “The Wiz.” As the actors sailed through the fifteen scenes, it was quite clear, not only to me, but to the entire audience, that a lot of hard work, dedication and talent went into this production. As with any musical, it becomes apparent who the standout performers are. “Stardust” is no exception to the rule, in terms of theatrical talent, delivery and overall professionalism. Sandra Love, in scenes one, four and eight, showed the talent of a young actress full of talent, wit and humor. Her roles are very compatible with her abilities. Roger Reid was impressive in all of the scenes he appeared in - singing, dancing and acting. You name it, he’s good at all of it. Luerine Wilson, not only is a good dancer and actress, she also has a very strong and lovely voice. If Beverly Hudges doesn’t make it as an actress, she certainly will as a singer! Her voice is soft, fluid and a delight to listen to. During the course of the evening, she sang, “Stormy Weather,” “Satin Doll,” “Porgy,” and Summertime.” The dancers in “Stardust” were simply excellent. Scenes three, seven and thirteen were done in good taste, style and inventiveness. Rosemary Allen, the writer, director and one of the stars of “Stardust,” offered a life-like performance in scene twelve, entitled “Graduation,” Kolleh Dura Suma and Sandra Love did a commendable job in scene ten, “Raisin In The Sun." The cast of actors and actresses include: Roger Reid, Gloria Johnson, LeCheryl Cooper, Barbara Pittman, Kolleh Dura Suma, Liz Mosley, Damon Easley, Rosemary Allen, Sandra Love, Luerine Wilson, Richard Jones, Elaine Simms, Beverly Hodges, Mrytle Brown, Veronica Alberti and Ayesha Shamsod Dim. It was a truly and admirable performance by all. Thara Memory and his Big Band have made a big splash on the musical scene the last couple of years. Memory has been a familiar name in the Pacific Northwest for quite sometime. Although he’s noted for his trumpet playing, he also plays a dozen other instruments. The scoring and arranging of “Stardust" has added yet another dimension to this multi-talented performer. He and his band contributed greatly to the overall success of “Stardust.” Members of his band include: Ramon Ortega, Doug Lawrence, Richard Tippets, Peter Piazza, Mel Abel, Dave Mills, Harry Faulkner, Terry Hampel, Jim Sours, Bill Harris, Lester Macfarland, Raymond Torrence. Jimmy Sanders, Mark Neal and Michael Cooper. Everyone involved in the production of “Stardust” is to be congratulated for their efforts. It was two hours of musical pleasure.
