Swingshift date to benefit El Salvador
Their music reflects a political focus
that touches a wide spectrum of issues and
struggles — ranging from nuclear power,
military non-intervention, racism,
women _ issues, apathy and alienation.
The progressive all-women jazz quintet
in known as Swingshift. On Saturday,
April 27, the group will be performing at
CSUFs Satellite College Union to aid the
National University of El Salvador. The
concert is being sponsored by the
Associated Students and the Campus Latin
American Support Committee.
"A few months ago. [AS President Jeff]
Hansen vetoed allocating funds to the
National University of El Salvador," said
AS Senator Steve Bruhn. "Bringing in
Swingshift for a benefit concert will aid
tbe university for much-needed materials."
The university recently re-opened after
being closed by Salvadoran troops in
1980.
The Bay Area group Swingshift has
been together since 1979. Their sound u
described as "rebel culture"—a hybrid set
of progressive jazz, hard bop, folk tunes
and funk. The group features Bonni
Lockhart on piano, Naomi Schapiro on
alto sax and flute, Susan Colson on bass,
Danielle Dowers on percussion and lead
vocalist Frieda Feen.
According to reviewer Lionel Cuflie:
"...Feen possesses a powerhouse of a
voice, a versatile instrument ranging from
deep alto to medium soprano. Feen tosses
off rapid scale runs and velvety melismatic
turns with enviable ease and control during
ner scauing P"**"uc». .   .
Swingshift, with its musical and political
background, completed a two-shows a
day tour in Nicaragua in September. The
arrangements were made possible through
tbe Friends of Nicaraguan Culture, an
organization that has taken cultural ex¬
changes between the U.S. and Nicaragua.
According to the band, the focus of the
tour was to inform tbe American public of
the conditions in the country in an effort
to cease U.S. aid to the Contras.
In iU return visit to Fresno after
performing at Fresno City College in
February, Swingshift will present a 20-
minute slide show of their Nicaragua tour.
Africa
same on their campuses.
Participation in this year, national
South Africa Day of Action was the same,
or lower, than last years levels, they say.
In past years, Nessen has tried to
increase student interest in apartheid by
tying rallies and workshops to activitites
of the anti-nUclear power movement.
But with rising violence in South Africa
and a tremendous increase in publicity in
the United Sutes, Nessen predicted this
spring's annual campus anti-apartheid
protests would draw record numbers of
student supporters.
"It's hard to say this year is twice as big,
but it's close, and ill much better co¬
ordinated and organized," Nessen added.
Jesse Jackson, for example, drew 7,200
students to an anti-apartheid speech at
Harvard. Many at tended an all night vigil
outside the administration building there.
University of Wisconsin-Madison
studenu marched on a nearby Kruger-
rand (gold coins marketed by the South
African government) dealer.
Over 600 University of Pennsylvania
studenu protested their school's invest¬
ments in firms that do business in South
Africa, while an estimated 300 studenu
marched at Yale and an equal number
suged rallies at Dartmouth and the
University of Iowa, the ACA reported.
"I think because of the level of media
attention, the level of activism is higher
than IVe seen in five yeak" said Craig
Perrin of Iowa's Committee for Free
South Africa, which has 20 new members
and over 70 volunteers this year.
Perrin and his group staged guerilla
theater events — student dressed as
soldiers patrolled campus "arresting"
passersby with blond hair — and con¬
vinced  over  2,000  students  to  sign
petitions calling for un vie rsity divestment.
But Nessen. glowing assessment of this
year's South Africa protest may be a little
inflated, other sources report.
At UCLA, for instance, where ACA
officials had scheduled numerous "Day
of Action" activities, "we didnt do any¬
thing because we really havent gotten Into
the quarter yet," reported Black Student
Association spokesman Aaron Boye.
"Absolutely nothing happened" at re¬
ports spokesman Tom Debley, despite
ACA claims that activities had Uken
place there.
"WeVe gotten a lot of calls from people
who beard or read that we had protests,
and all I can say is that whatever it was
must have fallen through," Debley said.
And barely 100 studenu showed up for
a rally that was expected to draw closer to
1,000 at the University of Colorado-
Boulder, reported South Africa Awareness
Committee member Lori Monkarsh, who
blames the low attendance on cold weather.

The presenUtion will maintain a com¬
mitment to progressive political content
in their performance. "It will Uke place in
tbe middle of the concert with a Spanish
translator," said Bruhn.
While Swingshift has been successful in
iu performances, the band is technically
"amateur." Rather than support them¬
selves through their music, the members
hold down day jobs. But as their per¬
formances reveal, dedicated and part-time
musicians can still achieve a high sundard
of professionalism.
Tickets for Swingshift are available at

Studenu: $4. April 27,1985 at the Satellite

Even at Columbia, "everyone is really
suprised that the activity is so small," said
university spokeswoman Judith Leynse.
"Aside from the 200 students at the
Hamilton Hall sit-in, there's not a lot
going on/for a campus with 30,000 people
on it."
Despite such disappointments, organ¬
izers insist the campus anti-apartheid
movement has had a banner year.
Last month, for instance. University of
Arizona protestors stopped a nearby bank
from selling Krugernnds, and student pres¬
sure has forced administrators at the
universities of California, Washington,
Nebraska, Maryland and Illinois to pro¬
mise to review their investment policies.
But increased attention has also meant
increased conflicts on some campuses.
A Michigan law requiring sute insti¬
tutions to divest is pitting fegislalors
against educators, who insist the politicians
are intruding on colleges' autonomy.
Anti-apartheid forces at Obcrlin College
recently tried unsuccessfully <o shut down
the campus computer system and hold it
until administrators sold $125 million in
South African-tied investmenu.
On the other side of the picture, a
"prank" by Phi Gamma Delu members at
Indiana University drew hejwy criticism
last month when they pulled white shirts
over their heads and stood on the roof of
their fraternity house during an
apartheid march.
