And in some cases it would be the performers, it would be the manager, or the road manager. I was a congregate of information back and forth," he said. This relationship with Vollen- weider led to Pitt's managerial ca- reer. Pitt recalled the memorable and comical evening he was offered the opportunity to represent and manage Vollenweider while having dinner at the musician's home in 1984. "His mother actually asked me if I'd be Andreas's manager. She said he was too embarrassed to ask me and I looked at him and he looked very embarrassed," said Pitt. In light of Pitt's appetite for ad- venture, his response was no sur- prise: "I said, 'sure, no problem, this is easy.' I was just doing it out of an act of friendship," said Pitt, admit- ting that he was naive about the rig- ors and responsibilities of represent- ing a world class musician. BUT HARD work setting up tour dates, speaking to promoters and record companies, negotiating contracts, and spending endless hours on the telephone has paid off for IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press reports Navy escorts Kuwaiti tanker MANAMA, Bahrain - U.S. warships yesterday escorted a Kuwaiti tanker toward a major Persian Gulf shipping channel where British mine sweepers were searching for explosives believed planted by Iran. U.S. officials said the Navy would respond strongly if Iran continued "intensified" war activities they said increased after U.S. helicopters attacked an Iranian minelayer. "We're not looking at routine operations," said one U.S. source who spoke on condition of anonymity. But he said the Navy's gulf-based resources were already seriously strained. Iraq said its warplanes attacked a ship off Iran and bombed a weapons and ammunition factory in the suburbs of Tehran, a large power plant near the Iran-Soviet border, and an oil pumping station in the south. State to protect water supply LANSING - Michigan, with its 3,288-mile freshwater shoreline, got its first comprehensive plan yesterday for protecting its water supply from polluters and raiders. "It's ironic that Michigan, the Great Lakes State, is finally after 150 years coming up with its first water management plan," said David Dempsey, main environmental adviser to Gov. James Blanchard. Dempsey said the plan gives Michigan a legal foundation if the state ever has to fend off efforts to divert Great Lakes water to other parts of the country. "You cannot prevent shipment out of state if you can't show that you're conserving water in the state," he said. "We have a legal argument to offer in future court cases should they arise." The plan was mapped out over the past two years by a special commission. Bush tours Nazi death camps OSWIECIM, Poland - A somber Vice President George Bush yesterday toured Nazi concentration camps where 4 million people died, and expressed the hope that the children of the future "be spared the agony of this horrible past." Both the vice president and his wife, Barbara, were visibly moved as their Polish guide ,who was imprisoned at the Auschwitz camp for five years, explained how the Nazis systematically and sadistically gassed or shot their victims. Walking together under threatening skies, the Bushes saw the small, dark cells where prisoners were left to die standing up, thegas chambers where millions of men and women were killed, and the "Wall of Death" where victims were shot through the head. Bush, completing a four-day visit to Poland, placed a floral wreath at a stone memorial in nearby Birkenau. "Never again. The American people," said a white ribbon attached to the wreath. Former Attorney General praises Bork for firing Cox WASHINGTON - Former Attorney General Elliot Richardson said yesterday "the nation owes a substantial debt" to Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork for the way he handled the firing of Archibald Cox as special Watergate prosecutor 14 years ago. Richardson resigned rather than fire Cox himself, but he warmly endorsed the man who followed through on then-President Nixon's orders to dismiss the prosecutor. He told the Senate Judiciary Committee that Bork's conduct was above reproach in the so-called Saturday Night Massacre on Oct. 20, 1973. EXTRAS 4 Former University biology major Darryl Pitt left his career as a professional photographer to manage world- renowned musicians. Pitt. Today, he also manages saxophonist Michael Brecker, whose album, entitled Michael Brecker, is IF YOU ORDERED LAST YEAR'S YEARBOOK... among the top selling jazz albums in the country and who performed in Ann Arbor last weekend. He is the founder of Depth of Field Management. "It's never-ending. And because of the caliber now and the success of the artists I do manage, there are constant opportunities that come at us. We have to see what makes sense and what doesn't make sense... There's a lot of paperwork involved but there's an awful lot of creativity involved as well," Pitt said. Coupled with his inventive ap- proach, Pitt applies a hard working attitude and an inner drive for success to his professional career. He has been described by hit co-workers as a "perfectionist" who is very demand- ing at times. But Pitt's motivation sets an example which encourages fellow workers to put forth the same 1987 Ensians are still available Student Publications Building, 420 Maynard, M-F, 8-5., Bring some form of ID.

Karen Kramer, Pitt's assistant in his New York City office, said, "When you work with someone with high standards (like Pitt), you have high standards as well. It makes you work that much harder." While pursuing his rapidly grow- ing and unpredictable future, Pitt maintains the vitality thathas al- lowed him to get where he is today. "You have a blank canvas and you can paint a stroke anywhere you want to. The possibility exists. It sounds a bit radical but it's absolutely true," said Pitt, explain- ing his philosophy of life. "The thing I would most recom- mend to any student is to try to pur- sue life and its options creatively. It's a fantastic, fantastic exercise. It makes life fun. It makes it a lot of fun," he said. th w ati Avetr IMPORTANT INFORMATIONAL MEETING WORK AND STUDY IN JAPAN IN 1988 Attend a meeting at Lansing Community College Sunday, Oct. 11, at 2 p.m. in Dart Auditorium to learn more about Lansing Community College's unique nine-month overseas academic work-study program available to college students who want to experience the educational opportunity of a lifetime.

The ham there isn't a problem; but green eggs haven't gone over well. No one why the eggs turn green, but one official speculated that the cause was a reaction with aluminum pans. "We're going to have to do something or we'll get sued," Sheriff Dan Branch told the County Commission. "The 52 people I have out there didn't eat a double handful of eggs today," Branch said. "They ended up in the trash. It's been going on for severalimonths..We used to have a problem with oatmeal, but we've gotten it straight." County Manager William Lloyd said the meals are prepared at the Meriwether Correctional Camp and delivered to the jail. The eggs are cracked a day before they're cooked, apparently so the cook can sleep later, the sheriff said Tuesday night. If you see news happen, call 76-DAILY.
