The Michigan Daily-Thursday, February 1, 1979-Page 5 'RECO RD S George Clinton is a bright man. He has one band that masquerades under two different names - Parliament and Funkadelic, and contracts with two record companies. Each of these two most recent albums contains joking references to the other, and there is a man who sounds like Peter Lorre wan- dering throughout both of them, trying to find out "which one is George Clin- ton?" on Motor Booty Affair Clinton's message is more sarcastic and subliminal. The story told in the album is of an attempt to "raise Atlantis to the top," with the whole narration told from under water. However, there is more of that get up and jump kind of funk one may wish to spend his money on. This is funk without the fuss, without the mess of strings and horns that per- vade most disco music. What's more, the beat changes often enough that one's interest is lost half-way through each song. You don't get the lyrics that are thoughtfully supplied on One Nation, but on songs like "Rumpofsteelskin" ("livin' and jivin' and digging the skin he's in"), "Psychoalphabetadiscobio quadoloop," "Aqua Boogie" and"Mr. Wiggles," (the best song on the album,; with a great Bootsy bass line) one can get the idea easily. These people are loose enough to enjoy their music making, and clever enough to make fun of everyone, including themselves. They're goin'home with Sally Ann The Corn Lickers, a band of six musicians from the mountain region of Nor- th Carolina, are making their debut performance in Ann Arbor tonight at the Ark. Since their formation two years ago, they have played at Saturday night barn dances, clubs, coffeehouses, festivals, and many Southern fiddler's con- Ventions where they have received numerous honors. Repair program planned for nuclear power plant SOUTH HAVEN (UPI) - Officials at Consumers Power Co. are working on a repair program for the Palisades nuclear power plant they hope may never be instituted, company officials said yesterday. The plan involves the plant's two steam generating units, the tubing of which was damaged when builders provided Consumers with the wrong in- formation on how to keep the water flowing through the units free of im- puritids. CONSUMERS WON at least $60 million in awards after it filed suit against Combustion Engineering which built the generators, Bechtel Corp. and one of its subsidiaries which designed and oversaw the building of the plant, and Wolverine Tube Division of UCT Corp. and Ingersoll-Rand which designed and built the plant's conden- ser. Following a lengthy study when the Palisades plant was forced to shut down for 19 months beginning in August 1973, utility officials decided that it steam generators at the facility suffer exten- sive corrosion that cannot be arrested they will be replaced. In a letter to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, David Hoffman, assistant nuclear licensing administrator, said reduced heat transfer capacity in the 400-ton, 59-foot high generators has retarded the corrosion problem for now but it is possible the tubing will suffer further damage in the future. MIKE KOSCHIK, general supervisor of public information at Consumers' VISIT American ATHEIST Museum Prides Creek Park Entrance RR 3, Petersburg, IN 47567 SEND FOR FREE INFO Jackson headquarters, said the corrosion problem also has been alleviated somewhat by altering the chemical mix used to keep the water pure. "We're pretty confident that the dif- ferent water treatment procedure has pretty much resolved the problem," Koschik saidg Asked whether the generators even- tually would have to be replaced, Koschik said, "We just don't know." "Complete replacement of steam generators was determined to be the preferred method of repair," Hoffman wrote in his letter to the NRC. When Jack Dempsey successfully defended his heavyweight title against Luis Angel Firpo in 1923, there were nine knockdowns in the first round. One Nation Under A Groove Funkadelic Warner Brothers BSK 3209 By MATT KOPKA Who says a jazz band, can't play dance music? Who says a rock band can't play funky? Who says a funk band can't play rock? We'll release you from the bind ... So sing some of the cleverest and fun- niest word-mongers in music on One Nation Under A groove. George Clinton and his band of space-musicians are determined to get us out of any sec- tarian musictbag we're in, and on these two records they have come up with some of the most'spirited music heard anywhere. This is militant party music, music with a message: The world is a toll-free toilet talking........ a minute and in this world of stinky futures (we are the) Doo-doo chasers biinging you music to get your ...... together by. And what caused all this? ego munchies me burger with I-sandwich a personal burger low calorie logic.. . Those are the lyrics from "Promen- talshitbackwashpyschosis Enema Squad," a funk opera from One Nation complete with a falsetto balladeer, shrieking guitars (ala Hendrix at his best) and a chorusing mob in the background. It is one of my two favorite songs on the album. The other is "Grooveallegiance," a softly pounding reggalypso tune with gospel over.tunes a Bob Marley imitation, and countless voices swelling in and out. Here, the group sets out to Motor-Booty Affair Parliament Casablanca NBL P 7125 prove they can play anything, and play it all at once, and the result is per- suasive. It's an incredible piece of music. Some of the rest of the songs on the album are overlong. The music is purely for dancing; and if you are not prone to getting up and shaking it, then you might have to console yourself with trying to listen in on the party going on in the background of every track. However, the EP included with the album is another story. The guitars (five of them!) have the thumping sup- port of Bootsy Collins' bass, and they grind out some fine, unfettered rock and roll, including the already classic "Maggot Brain." The EP closes with what sounds like a very great number of funkateers (at the Civic Center in Monroe, Louisiana) chanting "Think! Think! It ain't illegal yet!" Turn it up loud and the revolution is on (any revolution). IGT'S COMING!

In a formula engineered by Christian Democrat leader Aldo Moro, the Com- munists joined the parliamentary majority for the first time to support the Andreotti government installed last March 16 - just hours after Moro was kidnapped by the Red Brigades terrorist gang. Moro was slain after a 54-day captivity. THE COMMUNISTS were kept out of the government itself, but got promises collapses to be consulted in advance on all major decisions. The Communist rank-and-file has grown restless over unemployment up in a year from 1.5 million to 1.7 million, nearly eight per cent of the labor force, and terrorism which claimed the life of a Communist union official last week. With the party depending on workers for the bulk of its vote, political obser- vers say party Secretary Enrico Berlinguer may have acted now to cut ties with the government before the Communists' national congress opens in March.- Hatikagh Campaign (USe) Solicitors Training Session - Thursday, Feb. 1-7:0 pm UG3LI Multipurpose Room All Interested Volunteers Welcome American Baptist Campus Foundation presents "WOCMEN IN THE BIBLE" a series of Sunday morning discussions- at 11:00 a.m. In the CAMPUS CENTER 502 E.
