P ICK ANY LSA student, regardless
of what class he may be in, and ask
him to show you how specialized he has
become in a particular area. Chances
are that he has obtained no serious level
of expertise that couldn't also have
been obtained by any other University
student within a semester or two.
Now pick out a student from the
School of Music and ask him to demon-

strate his talents. Chances are that he
has obtained a level of expertise that
no other non-music student could have
obtained without several years of work.
The point of this daring introduction
is this: Too often the talents of the bud-
ding young virtuosos in the School of
Music go completely unnoticed. Most of
the student body does not even realize
that these musicians are part of
University orchestras or that these or-
chestras give free concerts several
times during the year.
For those who dabble n the arts
throughout the year, make con-
tributions to music festivals, and listen
to old recordings of Toscaninni and
Horowitz playing Tchaikovsky's First
Piano Concerto, these concerts are not
spectacular, once-a-decade events. But
for those who appreciate classical
music, or even complex rock music
(music not aimed at the high school
element of society, i.e., Loverboy, Quiet
Riot), these concerts are exciting, in-
teresting, and overwhelming. They
give the average student a chance to
marvel at the underpublicised abilities
of his counterparts from North Cam-
pus.
Tuesday's program will provide the
unacquainted apprentice with a chance,
(Aren't we all sick of that term?) scene
in the country. Like all good bands, the
first edition of the Motels broke up in
1976.
The Motels regrouped, revamped and
got into the spotlight in 1978. Appearing
as a house band at Madame Wongs, the
Motels attained greater recognition and
began the battle for the ever-elusive
record contract. Capitol Records
finally clinched the deal.
Their introductory album,
mysteriously entitled The Motels
released in 1979 went gold in the USA,
Australia, and New Zealand. This was
the start of something big. Their single,
"Only the Lonely" went top ten in the
USA, and Davis received the award of
top ten vocalist from Creem Magazine
in both 1980, and in 1982.
Their biggest hit to date is "Suddenly
Last Summer" which I'm sure many of"

to soothe his ears with one of the most
popular pieces ever written,
Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. This
work meets the three standard
requirements that are usually set by
rowdy young collegiates as a formula
for good music.
The requirement for a gentle
relaxing melody that can, be played
during homework or on evenings with a
date. Classical music is usually
defeated in this category by James
Taylor, Bread, or Cat Stevens.-
Beethoven is sure to reverse this trend
come Tuesday. The second movement
of the Fifth Symphony is a lyrical gem.
* The requirement for something ob-
noxiously rowdy that can be played
during a wild party. Classical music
usually loses this category to The Sex
Pistols, Gang of Four, or The Who.
Deep inside Beethoven was a fiery,
troubled man whose works often reflec-
ted his brewing turmoil. The first, thir-
d, and fourth movements 'of the Fifth
Symphony provide that dynamic ex-
citement.
* The requirement for musical com-
plexity. Those who put down their
headphones after listening to Abbey
Road and marvel at The Beatles'
genius are guaranteed a surprise.
you listen to and hum along with.
Clearly, their latest album, Little
Robbers should break the Motels into
every rec room in the USA. It's more
light-hearted and reflects the strength
and professionalism of Davis and Co.
The Motels love to tour and do a great
deal of shows. They really had ants in

Beethoven weaves together so many
different melodies that run in so many
directions simultaneously that 15 or more
listenings are required before one' can
be sure that he's heard everything.
Ludwig van can put McCartney or
Townshend to shame.
And for fear that too much service
has been done to Beethoven, it must
also be stated that there is another in-
teresting piece on the program. Keith
Bryan, a superb flutist and member of
the School of Music faculty, will ac-
company the orchestra in the perfor-
mance of the second work, Telemann's
Suite in A minor for Flute and Strings.
Again, the unacquainted student will
have a chance to appreciate the
amazing virtuoso abilities of an accom-
plished soloist.
It is still not far enough into the term
to worry about grades, and two hours of
idle chatter in a dorm lounge is a very
poor alternative to the excellent
program at Hill Auditorium on Tuesday
night. It's time for the sophisticated
college youths in Ann Arbor to ex-
perience culture, and Beethoven's Fifth
is a great way to start.I
their pants to go out on the road with
their new album, Little Robbers. The
Motels, true to their record contract,
will appear at the Grand Circus Park
Theater on February 4th. The original
concert date was the 2nd, but has been
changed (Please take note). All Feb.
2nd tickets will be honored for the show
on the 4th. .

Weir, 198.3)
One of last year's 10 best. The love story between

it. Linda Hunt also appears, and many critics'
groups are handing her awards. (Cinema 2; Aud. A,
7:00, 9:15)

By Melissia Bryan
H OUSEWIFE turned rock femme
fatale? Is there hope for those of
us with liberal arts degrees?
Martha Davis, founder and lead
singer of the Motels, quit the life of a
suburban California (no less)
housewife to form rock bands. She
began her music career in her teens,
writing songs with blues and jazz' in-
fluences. In the early '70s, Davis, then
in her 20s, fell under the spell of the
great hypnotiser, David Bowie. She
formed the Motels around 1975, moved
to Los Angeles and was instrumental in
formulating the first "New Wave"

DIVA (Jean-Jacques Beiniex, 1982)

PIXOTE (Hector Babenco, 1981)
A critically acclaimed look at little bandits
growing up to be bigger bandits on the cruel streets

it in installments at a local movie theater? Or is the
truth even worse? (Ann Arbor Film Coop; MLB 4,
6:30,50t)
EATING RAOUL (Paul Bartel, 1982)
This very black comedy is at times hilarious, at
times a bit too understated, but always worth seeing.

THE APPRENTICESHIP OF DUDDY KRAVITS
(Ted Kotcheff, 1974)
One of the less memorable roles Richard Dreyfuss
has played. A boy in Montreal's Jewish ghetto in 1948

AIDA (ClementiFracassi, 1953)
Torn between two lovers...One is an Ethiopian
Princess. the other is life-which will be lost if the

THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH (Chuck Jones, 1971)
Animation and live-action combine in an adap-
tation of the Norton Juster story about Milo and his
magical world. The afternoon show will start off with
a cartoon and Chapter 5 of "Flash Gordon Conquers
the Universe." (Classic Film Theater; Michigan
Theater, 3:15,7:00)
WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FAC-
TORY (Mel Stuart, 1971)
An adaptation of the children's book by Roal Dahl
that stars Gene Wilder as the reclusive Wonka who
offers five kids a tour of his plant. "Oompa Loompa
