sandwiches, popcorn and home¬
made burrttos. The Bucket is
open Mondays through Fridays,
from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
'Some of the students come
in here and stay for hours,'
said Buddie. 'We've tried to
get away from the pizza-type
_* atmosphere, and have tried to
create a more relaxed environ¬
ment so that students will
feel comfortable to stay here
for long periods of time."
Some of the changes that
Buddie has made in The
Bucket's decor include hanging
a full-sized mural on the
back wall depicting a forest
scene, painting the yellow
walls in a soft, subdued
green, and adding dark brown
cork board with mirrored in¬
lays along the side walls.
"I really like the atmosphere
in here," said 22-year-old
Mark Scott. *l come in here
often to study or watch TV.
The people are nice and
they've got the best burritos
in town."
'I think the best part
'These are just
other students

about having a bar on cam¬
pus is that you can meet
your fellow students, * said
CSUF student Ann Roberts.
"Sometimes I am apprehensive
to talk to people in bars
in the Fresno area because
you never know if the per¬
son is a weirdo. But here,
these are just other students
like you so it' s easy to
make friends."
Dahlgren said The Bucket
draws its crowds primarily
from the CSUF student and
faculty population. Very few
individuals come into The
Bucket that are not enrol led
at CSUF, he said.
"Even the band members
are associated with Fresno
State," Dahlgren said. 'The
members of Brass Ackwards
are students here, and The
Shooz was put together by
one of the guys that works
here, who also plays in the
band."
Buddie said that Thursday
and Friday nights are the

most popular nights at The
Bucket due to the live
music. The bands play top-40
hits along with some original
material from 7 p.m. to 11
p.m.
"It got so crowded in here
when the bands played, we
found it necessary to open
the cafeteria," Dahlgren said.
"Now the band sets up in
the cafeteria, we mark off a
dance floor, have two wai¬
tresses working both rooms,
and it's great!"
"The first time I came
into The Bucket was to hear
one of the bands,' said
Louise Toschi. "I ended up
dancing until The Bucket
closed."
Buddie said she anticipates
the crowds to continue grow¬
ing.
"We may move the location
of The Bucket in the future
so that we can enlarge its
size," Buddie said, "but noth¬
ing definite has been planned
at this point."

Musk \Pretenders top Benatar&Co.
By Bret Kofford
...Andnow, the combatants in 1981 's
battle for the female version of the rock
and roll championship.
In this corner at 4'11", weighing
95 pounds, from Long Island, New York,
in the black danskins.. .Pat Benatar.
And in this corner weighing approxi¬
mately 105 pounds, from Akron, Ohio,
now singing Out of London, England,
wearing the black spandex pants and a
constant sneer, from the Pretenders...
Chrissie Hynde.
Until just a few years ago, rock and
roll was dominated by swaggering
males. But with the impetus of the new
wave movement and the subsequent
smashing of stale institutions, many
women found their way to the spotlight.
Women like former folkle Robin Lane
and her band The Chartbusters, Martha
Davis of The Motels, Carolyne Mas,
Ellen Foley and most recently Deborah
lyall of Romeo Void, Holly Vincent of
Holly and The Italians and an all girl
group, The Go-Go's, who have become
the darlings of the Los Angeles music
scene.
There have always been a few women
in the forefront of rocktGrace Slick prob¬
ably stands out above the rest) but never
has the influx of women been so thick as
in the last few years. ■,
Unfortunately the genre of hard rock
(a.k.a. heavy metal) has not recently pro¬
duced any significant female-led group,
(although Heart drearily hangs on).
About the closest thing to a feminine
fronted heavy metal band is Spider, a
group sometimes categorized as New
Wave, and co-fronted by a man.
Out of all of these women, three cap¬
tured most of the country's attention.
Pat Benatar, Chrissie Hynde and Deb¬
orah Harry of Blondie. Harry has re¬
cently gone to explore dance music with
a record produced by Nil I Rodgers and
Bernard Edwards of Chic and is there¬
fore temporarily disqualified from the
championship.
Both Benatar and Hynde and her
Pretenders released albums this sum¬
mer. Both records have sold briskly
and served to propel these ladies even
further toward the never-never land of
. superstardom.
Artistically, Benatar's Precious
Time does not rate with Pretendets II.
It's terribly predictable, sounding too
much like her first two LP's. Almost
every song is set at the same upbeat
pace and songwriter-guitarist Neil
Ceraldo, Benatar's boyfriend, feels
obligated to indulge in a predictable
solo on six of nine songs.
Still, Precious Time is not a bad
record. The lyrics sometimes border on
intelligence,
'Hard To Believe'
Yesterday's a by-line
Words upon a page
Tomorrow is a deadline
Sudden, and It strange.
'Evil Genius' has some fine moments
and 'Promises In The Dark,* 'Fire and
Ice,' 'Just Like Me* and 'Take It
Anyway You Want It" have all been FM
hits. And Benatar's octave voice and
oversinging style are still in fine form.
What many don't realize is that this
really isn't Benatar's group. Nell
Geraldo is the driving force behind the
Benatar records. Although Benatar
co-writes three songs on Precious
Time, she is basically just the face, body
and voice Ceraldo needs to promote his
work.
But Chrissie Hynde is the unquestion¬
able leader of Trie Pretenders. It's her
band. She writes the songs, she sings
the songs and I'm sure she makes most
of the decisions.

Pretenders II is not as easy a record
to listen to as their debut album. It's
much less melodic and often just noisy.
It is not as accessible a record as the
first one and the songs simply aren't
as good.
Chrissie Hynde still plays the growling
tough girl on Pretenders II in songs like
the obnoxious 'Bad Boys Cet Spanked'
and 'Pack It Up.* This act, if it is one,
may soon wear thin.
Most of the songs follow along the
same musical lines and style of the
■Pretenders with only the superb 'Waste
Not Want Not' and 'Louie, Louie,'
with Its Sixties-styled horn section,
surveying new ground. ' /-\
Another complaint is the title of the
record, *rl (unless It was done in sar¬
casm). II is a boring, mainstream,
predictable title and one would expect
more from an innovative band like The

'Body Heat'
thrills, sizzles
By Felicia Cousart
Staff Writer
A tall, willowy brunette in a revealing,
slinky white dress walks into Ned Ra¬
cine's  life,   and the trouble  begins.
'Body Heat' is an erotic, sizzling
thriller that works from beginning to
end. Although the idea itself is not
original (remember T944's 'Double
Indemnity* with Barbara Stanwyck and
Fred MacMurray?), the film still works
because of a finely constructed screen¬
play and superb performances.
The story revolves around Racine
(played by William Hurt), a small-time,
two-bit lawyer in a sleepy Florida town.
A likeable young guy with a penchant
for women, his life is changed forever
one night when he meets Matty Walker.
It's lust at first sight.
Matty (played by Kathleen Turner) is
the wife of a big and powerful business¬
man, Edmond Walker, who is away
from home most of the time. Seemingly
lonely and frustrated, she allows Ned
into her life, and they immediately be¬
come lovers.

Soon, however, they want more;
their desire and passion for one another
by this time are overwhelming. A
divorce, though, would leave Matty
penniless, and she is not about to live
a life of poverty, not even for the man
she loves.
Ned and Matty decide to kill Edmond.
'We're going to kill him,' Ned says.
"You knew it was coming. It's the only
way we can have what we want."
'And, if we're not careful,* he says,
'it's going to be the last real thing
we do.*
Edmond is a dead man. That much the
audience instinctively knows, but from
there, 'Body Heat* sryty takes a myriad
of twists and turns, which leave the audi¬
ence mesmerized.
What is most surprising about this
film is Its creative source. It was writ¬
ten and directed by Lawrence Kasdan,
who wrote the screenplay for this year's
biggest smash so far, 'Raiders of the
Lost Ark.'
With 'Body Heat,' Kasdan not only
displays his writing ability, but his
talent for creating effective visual
images as well. From the film's open¬
ing shot, the story permeates with heat.
Even the early morning fog looks more
like steam from a sauna than fog.
Characters sweat and languish under a
Florida heatwave. Talk is trite and
tempers are short.
As Ned's detective friend, Oscar,
says, 'Pretty soon people start to break
the rules 'cause it's.emergency time.*
Kasdan confidently directs the story
at a near-perfect pace. At first, the two
lovers are casual and physical, with
