Pat Benatar brought her 23-date
North American “Get Nervous”
Tour to the Frank Erwin Center on
March 1. Benatar’s electrifying per-
formance was simply stunning.
Benatar and her band performed
with intensity and enough energy to
power Austin for their brief hour
and a half show. However brief the
stay was, Benatar delivered one po-
tent punch to the crowd on hand at
the Erwin Center. Her show lacked
only one key ingredient: audience
participation.
The largely heterogeneous mix-
ture of young and old, conservative
and liberal seemed unimpressed by
the powerful performance by
Benatar and company. The crowd
finally came together when Benatar
cranked out “Hit Me With Your
Best Shot,” and during the encore

of this semester. An art sale will

The Art Guild, said Walle Cono-

that together we can do something
fun and enlightening.”
The only requirement for joining
the Art Guild is to attend the
meetings. The scheduled meetings
are posted around campus and are
held in the Main Building in the art
studio.
as the main reason. She said that
getting signs made was a problem,
and hinted that students simply may
not have known about some of the
events.
Williams thanked all the people
that made the Black History Month
activities at St. Edward’s possible
and added, “I hope that next year’s
events go even smoother than this
year’s.”
As for the rest of the semester,

around Premont. First we had to
get the beer cans, oil cans and toilet
paper out of the shrubbery. Next
spring the shrubbery will be heal-
thier, look better, and be of less
maintenance for us.
The trees around the Union: we
didn’t want to take them out. How-
ever, after a structural study it was
found that the root systems were
destroying the foundation of the
building.
The point of all this is that the
grounds department works very
hard with a limited staff (as do all
physical plant departments) to try
and make St. Edward’s a better
place. Then someone comes along,
calls us names, criticizes us and they
don’t even know what’s happening.
“Get with it Jack . . . Jill.”

doing a splendid job. During the
show Geraldo’s solos were alive
with good old-fashioned Rock ’n
Roll guitar pick’n. Geraldo played
with a definite intent of inspiring
and motivating the audience.
Both Geraldo and drummer My-
ron Grombacher were on the verge
of flying off the stage. Grombacher
spent as much time bouncing
around his drum set as he did nestl-
ed behind it.
It was a pleasure to watch Ben-
atar, Geraldo and all the others per-
form with the intensity a good rock
show demands. The energy emitted
by Benatar and company is a tribute
to good old-fashioned Rock ’n
Roll.
Although the crowd was some-
what subdued and unresponsive to
the efforts of Benatar and her
troupe, the show was one definitely
worth the time and money to see.
For those of you who appreciate
Benatar and her work, there is word
that a live album is in the works for
release by the end of this year. If it’s
at all like her live performances, it
should be a treat.

February saw the successful in-
volvement of the Soul Society and
the student body in the Black
History Month’s activities at St.
Edward’s, according to Chalethia
“Shortee” Williams, president of
the Soul Society.
“I think this month’s activities
went very well,” said Williams, a
senior acting major. Williams said
that she and the Soul Society were
instrumental in bringing to St. Ed-
ward’s many of the participants in
the numerous activities, including
Extreme Heat; Owen Hamilton, a
KAZI disc jockey; and participants
for the opening and closing
ceremonies.

Dear Editor:
The following is a Letter to the
Editor. As a student service, I
thought I would pass on this infor-
mation which is quoted from the
National On-Campus Report, No-
vember 1982.
“Chewing tobacco is increasingly
becoming popular on college cam-
puses, but it is also dangerous,”
says a Tufts University medical pro-
fessor. Speaking at an oral

Dear Editor,
Trees. Everyone I know loves
trees in one way or another.
However, someone (name withheld
by request) thinks the grounds
department has something against
trees.
The person who wrote to the
Hilltopper calling us “axe
murderers,” etc., has no idea, no
earthly idea as to what the hell is go-
ing on. He/she condemned us for
cutting the lower limbs off of the
oaks between St. Joe and the track.
We’re simply pruning the trees. It’s
healthier for the trees and you can
walk around them. Everyone likes
to sit under a tree and enjoy its
beauty and the beauty around, but
if no one every pruned a tree or
helped it, you just might not be able
to sit under one.
This person also condemned us
for pruning back the shrubbery
