R.E.M. . Reckoning IRS

R.E.M. has been garnering critical raves for the last couple of years, and their latest, Reckoning, won best album in this year's New Music Awards. But strangely, radio play still eludesthem. This Atlanta-based band demonstrates star- tling originality in haunting tracks like "South Central Rain" and "Camera," and "(Don't Go Back To) Rockville" is as good a rocker as you'll ever hear.

Bruce Cockburn Stealing Fire A&M 9Cockburn has been around for quite a while now, but Stealing fire is his best effort to date. Unfortunately, he still bears the "folk" tag and so seldom gets the attention he deserves. Stealing Fire is what used to be called a "concept" album, and seldom has a concept been put forth with such power and elegance. War and love, sensuality and revolution are merged in eerie juxtaposition over a disarming pop background, creating a distinctive at- mosphere best demonstarted in tracks like "Lovers In A Dangerous Time" and "Dust And Diesel."

"e/i. Discovering Japan by Harry Leonardatos Pacific Overtures first appeared on liroadway in 1976, but ran for only 193 per- formances because it was considered "ahead of its time." The sophisticated musical is currently enjoying a successful revival by the Shubert Organization at the Promenade Theatre (Broadway West 76 St.). The plot involves Commodore Matthew Perry's 1853 expedition to Japan and the im- pact this expedition had on the lives of a Japanese shogun and a Boston fisherman. On a larger scale it deals with Japan's decision to "modernize" and its alliances with the western powers. The musical is distinguished by magnificent performances' and stately musical numbers.

All I Want For Christmas Is... by Dan Vincelette Tis the season of diamond golfballs? New York City stores are offering shop- pers a host of unique and unusual gift items for the 1984 Christmas season. According to many retail outlets' spokespeople, there's something for everyone, even golfers with ritzy tastes. Take Gucci's 125,000 dollar golf set, complete wilh 35 karat diamond golfball and 18 karat gold clubs. "It's definitely a conversation piece," said Gucci spokeswoman Ruby Hamra. "You obviously can't use something like that." The diamond ball comes mounted on a walnut frame along with two crossed clubs, "Our gifts are for the person who's really special, but the golfball, that's something else." What about the golfer who has everything, even the Gucci set? Ingenuities, a nearby White Plains store featuring unusual items, offers the "Lazy Putter," a golf club that comes complete with a fishing reel and line to reel back those important shots on the green. Those preferring more cerebral pursuits have a variety of chess sets to choose from. Saks Fifth Avenue has a wooden hand carved hand painted set with figures representing characters from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass. This limited edition (there arc only two) retails for 6000 dollars. The thrif- ty might want to consider a leather and brushed bronze set at Gucci's which sells for a more reasonable 3,000 dollars. For the aesthetic gift giver, Stcubeii Glass presents Erick Hilton's "Iimerland" a crystal sculpture which spokeswoman Melanie Peacock describes as a "modular landscape representing the unity of life and one-ness." According to Peacock, the 20 in- ch high work consists of 40 different cubes in an abstract alignment, and took four years to execute.

USG STUDENT DIRECTORY

In the letter entitled "Nixonian" (I he Ram, December 5, 1984), Joe Lewis writes that USQ has failed in even the most "remedial" of tasks such as the compilation of the Student Directory. I do not blame Mr. Lewis for his misconception. Unfortunately, relatively few students realize how much work is required for producing the Directory or how much this 1984/85 issue has been revamped. My committee and I were not disinclined to work through May, June, July, August, September and October in formulating the Directory. However, we would appreciate some recognition for the numerous hours of work we contributed and the obstacles we overcame in order to present the Student Directory to you. 1 hope I have cleared up the confusion concerning the Directory's delay. If any student has any further questions, 1 am more than willing to meet with him or her. Thank you.
