i The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, March 18, 1980-Page 7 STAR BAR 41 die in San Salvador clash ' ., i 109 N. Main St.-f69-0109 SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (UPI)-At least 41 people were killed, in a string of clashes between government forces and leftist activists yesterday, and an intense firefight along the edges of the National University may have added more casualties. Witnesses said the gunbattle between leftists inside the university and government troops backed by armored cars who surrounded the, campus overnight lasted for two and a half hours in mid-afternoon, then fell to sporadic shooting. THERE WERE no immediate reports of dead or wounded, and troops ringing the campus, a stronghold of four powerful leftist groups, refused permission to reporters who wanted to go inside. Early in the day, 23 people were shot to death in a gun battle between national guardsmen and leftist activists who tried to break into a coffee plantation recently nationalized by the ruling military-civilian junta. Authorities said members of the leftist Popular Revolutionary Bloc walked into the Colima Hacienda 30 miles north of the capital and tried to seize some of the leaders of the peasants who worked on the farm. NATIONAL GUARDSMEN, sent into the plantation two weeks ago when the farm was nationalized, traded gunfire with the leftists in a lengthy battle and finally drove them off, a spokesman for the jnta said. Thue spokesperson also said 12 "subversives" and one guardsman were killed early yesterdayrwhen some 200 leftist guerrillas armed with submachine guns and shotguns ambushed a guard patrol in San Martin, 12 miles west of the capital. The 36 deaths brought to 41 the death toll on a day that also saw five persons injured in two bombings, including one accidental blast as leftist activists seized the government water and sewage building. At least five people died earlier in the day when treasury police armored cars and truckloads of plainclothes agents armed with submachine guns attacked disgruntled workers occupying the Beckman Instruments Co. The raiders took three of the workers to a separate room andshot them inthe head, then attacked two workers with machetes, killing one of them and seriously injuring the other, a woman, the survivors said.

He estimated the damages to the Dead Boys' equipment at about $1000, a two speakers and much of Johnny Blitz's drum set were damaged (Bob Tickle estimates "about a $200 loss in damages to the Second Chance's rented audio equipment, in addition to the club's broken glasses, pitchers, and furniture). Throughout their brief set, the Dead Boys reportedly aimed insults at their *audience. A tape recording of the. RIVER BLINDNESS ACCRA, Ghana (AP)-River blind- ness, caused by a parasite which is transmitted by the bite of the black fly, is a major problem in West Africa. An' estimated 100,000 people suffer from the disease and many others live in danger of infection. Seven countries of the Volta River basin (where the black fly breeds)- Benin, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Mali, Niger, Togo and Upper Volta-have joined in a long-range program to eliminate the disease. With financial help and equipment from four United Nations' agencies-the World Bank, WHO, FAO and the U.N. Development Program-weekly spraying of the Volta and its tributaries is under way. It is estimated that it will take 20 years for the blAck fly to be eradicated but already there has been a significant reduction in the breeding areas curren- tly being sprayed.f performance revealed band members calling glass-hurtling fans "mother . . .," 'ass holes," and other obscene names. The onslaught of beer glasses. reportedly came after Blitz poured a pitcher of beer over the audience and his drums. In addition, lead singer Bators reportedly began spitting beer on the audience, according to witness Jim Barry. "The first thing I saw was Stiv spitting beer all over the audience, and it was, well, 'let's go from there.' It was like the band just wanted to get a reacton out of the audience." AFTER ENDURING the audience's wrath for several songs, the Dead Boys fled backstage and to : their basement dressing room. "All of a sudden, these guys come hauling down the stairs," recalled Madhatter, who was working security at the time. "They were freaking out; I knew either the place was on fire or they were throwing shit onstage. It was like there had been an earthquake." As many audience members tried to get the Dead Boys to return, the band's road crew dtismantled the glass-ridden equipment. The, road manager reportedly took the guitars offstage using a table as a shield. Drummer Johnny Blitz claims he suffered a "mild concussion" and a broken nose, and said that the band's "roady," whose name he could not recall, also received a consussion. He said that he left the nightclub "anid went to see a doctor," although the two local hospitals denied admitting anyone by the name of Blitz. ----_ _- -- 1 rE U DRUMMER BLITZ appeared some 30 minutes after the Dead Boys had stopped playing, and offered $500 to the person who injured his nose with a thrown glass to "come downstairs" and have it out with him "one on one." "I've been in this band for four years," he shouted, "and I've never been hit with a bottle. I come to Ann Arbor and I get hit in the head with a bottle." The Dead Boys currently have two albums out, one entitled "Young, Loud, and Snotty;" other, "We Have Come For Your Children." "We didn't expect the problems with the audience," said Madhatter. "We expected to have problems with the Dead Boys." Bators said the audience's energy was justified-"not to hurt us, but to let that energy out. Breaking glass, breaking anything is a great outlet for frustrations-it was tremendous." .L v _Mm- v a ,./ minority efforts needed- Powe r (Continued from Page 1) fered suggestions to increase minority enrollment and decrease minority at- trition. A Chicano woman suggested providing role models for students, citing the fact that there are no Chicano professors at the University. Ad- ministrative Assistant Eunice Burns said the administration should contact people from families in which no one has attended college and encourage them to enroll in the University. Although throughout the lecture the speakers pointed to the grave problems concerning minority enrollment and at- trition, Jeffry ended her presentation on an optimistic note. "It is my belief that the times ahead of us are not (going to be) easy, but if in the '80's we have an unfailing commit- ment and persistence and fortitude to withstand the barriers ... eventually, we will get there," Jeffry said. 6IN I --- . 1 torpedo your Munchies!

EVEN SO, there were surprisingly few howlers in the 7:00 to 9:00 winner's show Sunday night. With the exception of Paul Winkler's Bondi, a tedious, split-screen rendering of beach frolickers, and Vincent Scilla~s Is This .Life or Just Love of Death?, a maudlin, visually scattering ode to loneliness in New-York City, there wasn't a really bad film in the entire bunch. Sptephen Marro's The Box Man, also 'dealing with the torments of urban sur- vival, was a lovely, whimsical little satire about a man who decided to chuck the rat-race rigors and go live, literally, in a cardboard box. He sets up house on city sidewalks, traffic islands, any place he can call nirvanah-until a fellow in distress jolts jim back into the real world. Marro consistently blends gritty realism and expressionism to make a film that is both hilariouslr far- cial and genuinely moving. The Box Man also boasts a remarkably *x- pressive lead actor named Bruce Siegel, whose funny, poignant perfor- mance is an anomaly in a festival where human actors are usually sym- bolic stick figures at best. 1 AMONG OTHER winners, Pat Oleszko's Kneel and Dimples was a pleasant but second-rate (for her) pup- pet illusion. Much more effective was Mike Connor's In Search Of, a wonder- fully anarchistic spectacle of a grubby clay figure occupoed predominantly with a search for his missing head. Connor's film hysterically illustrated the almost limitless entertainment potential of the combined glories of in- novative animation and genuine wit.. Buck and Spanky, by John Tintori and Mary Cybulski, was an arch, often inaccessible exercise in surrealism which nonetheless exhibited a sur- passing artistic expertise. A brilliant little sequence involving the continuous transformation of sketched heads into a series ofsdifferent persons seemed to consciously, joyously illuminate the universal similarity in all of us. . Paul Glabicki's Five Improvisations played gorgeous rhythmatic tricks intermingling computer squiggle with artistic homages to pioneer animator Windsor McKay, while Judy Whitaker's Radius transformed the anatomy of a bicycle into a mysterious, concentric universe all its own. Lastly, Aaron Bass' Zo-oid demonstrated if nothing else a frenetic-paced talent for an 11- year old animation artist. The thing is, I was drawing better pictures than he was when I was only five. If only I'd had ambition ... (Continued from Page 5, life, a cartoon biology lecture at once grandly abstract and charmingly per- sonalized: In one priceless moment of evolutionary condensation, a fish is tossed out of water, staring dismayed at its dry surroundings until it suddenly sprouts little walking fins, and grins with childish glee at the new apen- dages. Steve Schular tried to paint a grim- mer portrait of evolution in RKO Zoic (as in "paleozoic era," etc.) which naggingly juxtaposed fossilized trilobites with clips from the inner workings of a Coca-Cola bottler. In the inimitable words of Danny Partridge: Heavy. Other films in the lofty philosophical/psychological vein were, more evocative. Jane Dickson's A Nice Hot Bath and Fu-Ding Cheng's Flight of Ideas both strained after a cinematic equivalent of stream-of-consciousness, and though Bath was simply too crudely symbolic to have such resonan- ce, Flight of Ideas occasionally took off. A printed prologue tells us that the movie is out to convey theexperience of meditation-a journey from "uhboun- ded madness" to "pure awareness,,-and then a narrator repeats "Flight of ideas ... flight ... flight" as a mantra and harsh, free-associatory images fly by in lullingly rapid succession. I wish Cheng had stuck some more pure awareness into all the unbounded mad- ness, but the madness (fixated, for some reason, on the John F. Kennedy era) had me hypnotized. The most outstanding visual trip of the evening, though, was Larry Cuba's Two Space, an absolutely mesmerizing computer-graphic animation with a Gamelon soundtrack. Cuba's interplay of white dots was so effective that I think I could have stared at it for two hours without blinking. A film with a similar effect was Rob Zeibel's Smile and Relax, a voyeuristic peek at a woman's infinite variety of moods and facial expressions. I was going to end this article by balling out the Festival judges for picking Elvin Jones: Different Drum- mer as top documentary, instead of Lingo or Save Our Planet, a politically standard but cinematically breath- taking documentary on nukes. But the ax, alas, has fallen, and all we can do is wait until next year. Personally, I can hardly wait.
