Is it possible for a rock and roll
band whose members are over 30 to
play as well in the seventies as
they did in the sixties?
In the case of the Rolling Stones,
the answer is a resounding yes.
Listening to their new live two
record set, “Love You Live” (Rolling
Stones Records COC2-9001), it’s
easy to see (and hear) that age has
not done harm to “the world’s
greatest rock and roll band.”
As evident on the new album, the
Rolling Stones are in the best shape
of their professional music career.
Mick Jagger may be 33 years of
age, but he still belts out the songs
like he did when he was 20.
Keith Richard’s guitar playing
remains nothing short of spectacu-
lar, and newcomer Ron Wood
Play opens Tuesday
Special Events Committee will sponsor the .‘ilm “Fellini
Satyricon” at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Fiesta Room of
Loftin Student Center.
Director Federico Fellini’s adaptation of the first., century
work by Gaius Petronius Arbiter, “The Satyricon,” the movie
portrays Roman life under Nero.
Employing surrealism to relate sarcastic social
commentary, Fellini uses a Minotaur in a maze, an episode
with a hermapharodite and dreamlike orgies of self-indulgence
to convey an eerie terror to audiences.

pragmatic people whose carving
has filled their economic and self
respect needs, she noted.
“In 1576 Martin Frobisher made
contact and changed the culture of
the Inuit. By the 1930s supplying
carvings to outsiders became their
biggest source of income. By the
1940s 75 percent of the adults were
carving.
“It’s several hundred years too
late if you are looking for Inuit
sculpture uninfluenced by Western
culture,” Fielder said.
In 1949 the Inuit society was in
desperate economic need, and in
1967, 80 percent of the Inuit were
unable to support themselves, she
said.
“With the development of an arts
program, they have become more
able to support their families, but
feel that the making of works of art
could be more . a source of
happiness if they weren’t so
dependent on it.”
Fielder said in 1949 the Inuit were
still basically living a traditional
way of life.

guitarist Mick Taylor.
And, of course, bassist Bill
Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts
remain a rhythm section you can
set your watch to.
As a whole, the group sings
better, plays better and sounds
better than any of the current wave
of rock groups claiming to be “the
greatest rock and roll band in the
land.”
Songs such as “Brown Sugar,”
“Star Star,” “Honky Tonk Women”
and “Sympathy for the Devil”
contain more energy and substance
than songs by groups like Kiss,
Rush and Starz.
“Sympathy for the Devil” alone is
worth the price of the entire double
album set.
There’s no other rock band that
can match the sheer power and
brilliance of the Rolling Stones.
“In camp life the elderly would
ask to be left out to die because
they couldn’t keep up with the
moving activities. Sometimes a
father would ask a son to escort
him out of the camp.”
The very old women have tattoos
which symbolize a woman’s
courage, it was a very painful
process. The skin was pierced with
a needle and then soot or dye was
rubbed in, Fielder said.
“The Inuit do not recognize the
name, ‘Eskimo’ which is the
English translation of a word
meaning ‘people who eat raw meat.’
To them it is a derogatory slang
word. ‘Inuit’ means ‘the original
people to whom the earth gave
birth’.”
Fielder said that in the last 30
years lifestyles changed drastically.
“Today self expression is seen in
the carvings. In prehistoric carvings

“Prehistoric carvings were much
smaller and not of stone. There has
been only one known unearthed
stone sculpture,” she said.
Contemporary sculpture is
sometimes as high as 6 feet and
often made of stone, Fielder
explained.
“Out of 18,000 people about 60
percent carve regularly. Annual
carvings exceed 120,000 pieces.
“There is not one word for art in
the Inuit language. The attention is
on the object itself and its creation,
and how well the artist has worked
with his tools and substance.
Success is gauged on how real the
object looks.
“Most Inuit artists carve realistic
forms from memory. They have
carved every creature in the arctic

subject matter,” Fielder said.

Quarterfinals .........Wednesday, Oct. 26
The foreign chant-like singing
filled the auditorium of McCreless
Hall Sept. 29 as the audience was
presented an audio-visual ex-
perience encompassing the art and
lifestyle of Inuit culture.
Marsha Twomey Fielder,
graduate of the University
Manitoba in Canada, opened her
lecture on Inuit Sculpture with
recorded native music which
accompanied slides of the Inuit
people, their art and the land in
which they live.
Ice sculptured by the sun;
wildflower and lichen among the
basalt; yellow, red and gold flora;
owls; polar bears; children
singing; the cutting of ice blocks
and igloo building; the skinning
and sectioning of a walrus carcass
were scenes interspersed with
others of a bleak and impoverished
area of rocks, snow and slums.
“The Inuit culture has existed in
the Canadian arctic for 4,000
years,” Fielder said. They are a
nerve-racking.
The songs she plays are slow,
boring and endless.
Lack-luster is the term that She plays far too many tunes
