Willobee said Rock the Vote offers an
ouUet for the youth's voice to be heard.
"This country is in danger," he said,
"of infringement on all of our rights. The
- first amendment especially, is being vio¬
lated. We have to do something about iL
and I think Rock the Vote is a good start"
Maybe. r.. ... . m
But the question of whether or not the
MTV generation is capable of rousing it¬
self from its self-induced torpor of cynical
fatalism will not be resolved on November
.3.
The war will not be over just because
we've won the battle (and I think we, as
opposed to they, we, the young, the silly,
the unquashably hopeful, will win the elec¬
tions). It will take a lot longer, and it's
going to get a lot worse before it gets bet¬
ter. <^
But we're Americans, which means
we know how to have fun even in the most
surreally awful conditions. So let us.
Prodded for an eloquent last message
to the CSUF community, the ever-fiesty
Willobee submits this: "Give a shit! Edu¬
cate yourself! Education is by far the best
weapon against apathy, oppression and
deception."
You heard him. Now go to iL
Spyz, Page 2
for^T Spyz is now open.
Yet launching headfirst into rock
stardom is not something the group has
planned on.
"Mainstream" is nota word in Hazel's
vocabulary.
"We make music to please ourselves,"
he said. "There's enough bands out there
posing as i: is. We don't have time to fake
it" V
Hazel said one of the keys to the 24-7
Spyz* staying power arid durability is their
large college following:
"A lot of the kids tend to follow their
own minds, instead of what's on the c harts,"
hesaid. \ .
Post Modem Man, a progressive rock
DJ at KFSR, said he could see why the
Spyz are finally starting to receive
recognition.
"They're not one dimensional," he
said. 'They're not following a formula."
The KFSR DJ said today' s music fans
want the variety that the Spyz offer.
"You have to be multi-faceted if you
want to be anything more than successful,"
hesaid. "They offer a cross appeal to all
sorts of listeners."
And this appeal is what keeps Hazel's
interest as he watches his band progress
and modify its sound to please only
themselves.
"Musically, it's all about moving," he
said.

opening night at CSUF, he finds himself
focusing intently on trying to get corporate
sponsors to donate $30,000 needed to take
El Hajj Malik to Nigeria.
"This is a real honor as El Hajj Malik is
the first college production ever to be
invited to perform in Nigeria," Ellis said.
Even with this honor, money for die
project is hard to come by. Ellis" said
money for black-oriented plays is twice as
hard to find.
"I just hope that this project will not be
lost due to lack of funds," he said.
From the hard-hitting El Hajj Malik
to a softer, more intimate play. Indulgences
in a Louisville Harem. ,
This second production opens
November 6 in the Arena Theatre.
Indulgences in a Louisville Harern has its
own uniqueness in the effect that it is only
a four character play.
The story focuses on two spinster sisters
who one day receive a package in Lhe mail
containing a book on gardening, a book on
art poses, and a copy of Mrs. Whiting's
new book of eligible gentlemen.
■ At first appalled and later fascinated,
the sisters respond to the advertisement
"Being that this story is set in a victorian
society, the main focus is on the loss of
propriety," Pam .Dyer said. The play

The Theatre Department is making a
statement with, its third production of
Romeo and Juliet
"This is not the traditional Romeo and
Juliet as it is taking place in a non-
indentifilblc historical period," Director
Kathleen McKinley said.
Romeo and Juliet is a story of star struck
youthful love that combines passion, sex
arid violence all in one plot
It tells of hot quarrels be tween the lovers
two opposing fam ilies and of ill -fated timing
trial causes the deaths of both lovers. .
"The audience should be able to relate
strongly to the passion and brutality in this
play," McKin ley said.
In this version of the play the director
and actors have created their own style of
hand-to-hand combat using their own
imaginative choreography.
McKinley said it should keep the
audience jumping.
"I want them to walk into a world that
they have never seen be fore," she said.
Romeo and Juliet will premiere
December 4 at the John Wright Theatre.
Quilters, the fourth play, also has a
style of its own.
It is a musical about eight Pioneer
women's trials, tribulations and joys
throughout their lives.
The symbolism within Lhe musical is as
strong as the women are. This symbolism
is conveyed by the Quilt
Each square on the Quilt symbolizes a
part of these women's lives and when put
together tells a story of who these women
are.
"It's a feel-good show and definitely
family entertainment*' Dyer said.
Dyer said she has cried in some of the
emotional parts in the play.
"The music is just so moving as it takes
you from one emotion to another," she
said, lhe play opens Match 19 at the John
Wright Theatre.
From family entertainment, the
