U . 1- w 0 Friday, November 1, 1985 Whither has fled the visionary gleam, Where is it now, the glory and the dream? - Wordsworth Magazine Editor Chris Lauer List Editor Joyce Welsh Assoc. List Editor Katherine Hansen Cover Illustration Charles Qestreicher Business Manager Dawn Willacker Sales Manager Mary Ann Hogan Asst. Sales Manager Yuna Lee The magazine is edited and managed L by students on the staff of The Michigan Daily at 420 Maynard, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109. INSIDE 11 I'D LIKE TO start a magazine called Infraction. I really would. A magazine that breaks all the rules. In a way, Weekend ought to be subtitled Infraction, given that the rule in the print medium right now is blithering banality. Just plain unrelentless mediocrity. You get a bunch of movie critics trying to foist stars off on you. You get music critics playing it safe by telling you about what was instead of what is. You get theatre critics who wish they could give stars like movie critics. You get statement of the obvious. If there's one thing Weekend's not it's bland. It may worship false gods once in a while but it doesn't blither. That's the essence of its charac- ter. But it's an irridescent character and that's what I write about every week in this spot. A character is worth fostering. Oh, feed me to the lions! A tame, sanitized Weekend magazine over my mauled lifeless body. aL ,7P 0 Cover story Daily staff writer Steve Wise examines the complicated world of in- tercollegiate sports recruiting and finds some defensive talk and sur- prisingly radical suggestions. See page 3. Theatre Between white and red there is pink. It's a delicate color and so are the characters in Antique Pink, a drama about lonely lives that opens this weekend. Another ambitious produc- tion from Project Theatre. See page 4. Local bands This week's featured local band is Sleep, who in their one year of existence have become one of the hot- test rock peddlers the Motor City has to offer. Drawing from a limitless range of musical and non-musical in- fluences, they have. forged a physically powerful and deeply com- pelling sound which is ever expanding and truly their own. See page 5. Entertainments This regular feature of Weekend magazine proves there's more to Ann Arbor nightlife than walking around smashing bottles. And let's not forget afternoon and morning life. Enter- tainments is your guide to campus cinema, first-run movies, concerts of all kinds, theatre, and dance. And for that day when nothing quite looks good, check out the listings under "Furthermore." See page 6. Movies "I just wanted a girl and now I have to die for it," says Griffin Dunne as a young man trapped in a bizarre nightmarish evening in After Hours. Strange things happen late at night. Once it's after hours different rules apply. "I'm just a computer programmer for Christ sake," says the young man. See page 8. Catch of the day Weekend columnist Mike Fisch con- fesses that he's sometimes serious. See page 9. Food for thought Hunger abatement, like many primal concerns, is a priority oc- cupation of college life. While food as sophisticated entertainment is often subverted by budgetary con- siderations, it is essential to keep abreast of the diversity of eats - to be prepared for any sudden or calculated mood shift - and fill the tank accor- dingly.
