Stand-up nominees w ill be selected

Comedy Showdown” to be held at a
venue in Los Angeles six to eight weeks
prior to the telecast.
Cornelius, who w ill executive pro
duce the Soul Tram Comedy Awards,
noted, “ W e’ re not re-inventing the
awards format, but we learned through
our other venture that i t ’s the people we
choose to honor that makes our program
unique and special.” He added, “ Our
comedy awards program w ill help ac
knowledge and bring attention to the
burgeoning rise o f African-Am erican
comedians, in all mediums, sparked by
an ever-developing pool o f talented com
ics who perform both for late night and
cable and for fam ily audiences as w e ll.”

bune anticipates the comedy awards
program w ill reach 85 percent o f U.S.
households and 95 percent o f African-
American households.
“ W e’re very enthusiastic about be
ing involved w ith another exceptional
program concept from Don Cornelius,”
says Tribune Entertainment company
President Don Hacker. “ He lias a proven
track record w ith the tremendous suc
cess o f the Soul Train series and the
Soul Train Music Awards, and we’ re
pleased to be a part o f this original
program idea.”
Cornelius promised a fast-paced
format sim ilar to the style o f the Soul
Train Music Awards, w ith exciting
stand-up comedy and musical perfor
mances and a star-studded black-tie
audience. The nationally syndicated
special w ill be produced by Soul Train
Music Awards co-producer Anthony
Sabalino and Entertainment Ton ight and
Soul Train Mucic Awards director Ron
De Moracs w ill direct. Tony Cornelius

Service Effective Sept.6
On Sept. 6, T ri-M e t fares increase
a nickel, new lift-equipped buses h it
the streets and the largest service in
crease in 10 years lakes effect.
Fare increase, youth discount
M ost customers w ill pay slightly
higher fares, w hile people under 18
w ill ride fo r a discount. Cash and ticket
fares increase a nickel, m onthly passes
increase $2, and Honored C itizen
passes go up 75 cents. The increase is
estimated to bring T ri-M e t an addi-
I lional $730,000 a year. T ri-M e t p olicy
call for annual review o f fares to m ain
tain levels that generally keep pace
w ith infla tion through small, regular
fare increases. T ri-M e t last raised fares
in September 1990.
As part an aggressive campaign to
attract more customers, T ri-M e t w ill
»ffer a new 70-cent discount youth
cash fare fo r people under 18. dis
counted tickets, sold in books o f 10,
w ill be availab le at p a rticip a tin g

Tualatin.
A lso aimed at attracting more
customers, bus service w ill increase
3.25 percent - the largest increase in
10 years. The improvements respond
to ever-increasing T ri-M e t ridership
by adding buses to reduce rush-hour
crowding on m ajor lines. Additional
evening and weekend buses are also
scheduled. As part o f T ri-M e t’ s an
nual service review, some trips w ill be
discontinued due to low ridership and
reallocated to provide more buses on
heavily used lines. The service im
provements incorporate comments
heard at public meetings last spring.

m onthly passes are available at most
Albertson and Safeway stores, T ri-
M et offices in southeast Portland or
Pioneer Courthouse Square, and many
other neighborhood locations. For
