City Implements Rideshare Program

Mayor Maynard Jackson an­ nounced that the City of Atlanta will implement a ridesharing program for its employees. This program, beginning with the Oc­ tober Capitol Hill Ridesharing promotion, will provide all City Hall complex employees who carpool or vanpool with a reser­ ved parking space. “With the increasing energy problems facing our country, it is February 15-18, 1980 imperative that we provide in­ centives for city employees to reduce automobile fuel con­ sumption,” Mayor Jackson On The Main Campus stated. “One way to do this is by carpooling. The formation of car­ pools will reduce significantly the of amount of fuel consumed for transportation and to and from work for a number of persons. In addition, carpools and vanpools HOWARD UNIVERSITY will relieve parking congestion in downtown. “The City of Atlanta is com­ mitted to energy conservation.

A Legend Returns “A Chorus Line" A legend returns to Atlanta when “A CHORUS LINE” comes to the Fabulous Fox Theatre for a limited engagement beginning Tuesday, November 6 and running through Sunday, November 25, 1979. This glossy and elaborate tribute to “Gypsies,” chorus dancers who hoof a precarious living on the Broadway stage, is already the musical of a whole generation. It is the “Hair,” “Oklahoma!” and “My FAir L Lady” of the 1970’s, and one critic’s gone so far s as to call it “the show of the century.” To nobody’s surprise, "A Chorus Line” is the hottest ticket in town. The same demand for seats can be found at the Royale Theatre in London and at the theatre where “A Chorus Line” is thrilling the audiences of Melbourne, Australia. What’s all the fuss about? There have been hit musicals before. Those who watched the 1976 Tony Awards on television saw a glimpse of “A Chorus Line” and might have wondered why it rated nine separate awards. “A Chorus Line,” as rooted as it is in shobiz traditions, nonetheless breaks quite a few itself. The audiences at the Theater of the Performing Arts opening night will see no elaborate sets or expensive costumes. And the music, althought distinctive and powerful is hardly the tuneful Broadway type that people walk out of a theatre whistling. In addition, the action itself is stark, with 24 dancers lined up on a mirrored rehearsal stage auditioning for eight roles in a show’s chorus. In the process of selection they bare their souls and the collective psyche of a chorus line. To the critics who raved about the play and the audiences who flock to see and hear it, Michael Bennett presents nothing less than a microcosm of America. “What I tried to do was put in a very American situation, like the Miss America contest,” says the show’s creator, director and choreographer. Bennett himself is a winner in the system he talks about. Born in Buffalo 30-odd years ago, he began as a gypsy himself before becoming Broadway’s most acclaimed choreographer/director. (Among his shows are “Promisses, Promises,” “Coco” and “Follies”).

But a few years ago he found himself looking at his closetful of Tonys with frustration. “I think I’m an artist,” he’s explained in an interview. “But I found in the theatre there were too many economic pressures. When you see something a certain way, and then can’t afford to do it, it takes all the fun out of doing a show. I’d lost any sense of novelty.” Bennett was rescued from his slump by a couple of out-of-work gypsies. They first suggested that he start a dance company, and thinking about that put him on the right track: “I really wanted to do a show about dancers.” He also wanted the truth, and he began to work to find it, asking his friends what they’d gone through to become dancers. His initial discussion turned into a 25-hour marathon. “Suddenly all those things we had thought unique about our­ selves turned out to be what everyone had gone through,” Bennett concludes. “Dancers have got to be honest because you spend your life in front of a mirror. There’s no way to kid yourself.” Bennett Chuck Mangione Appears At Fox came away from that first session inspired.

MBC began the scoring parade with 4:44 left in the first quarter on a 49 yard pass play from An­ thony Mills to Billy (6’7") Reaves. But the conversion failed, MBC led 6-0. Tuskegee retaliated, scoring on a 6 yard run by Andrew Carter and 24 yard pass from quar­ terback usher to split end Greg Everhart for a 13-6 lead. With this, freshman quar­ terback Femanza Burgess en­ tered the game and ignited the Wolverines flame. Burgess tossed touchdowns bombs of 72 and 55 yards to Larry (Smokey) Powers.
