songs were not effective in
arousing the crowd.
Finally, enhanced by the light
show, "Cold as Ice" proved to be
the first song of the concert to
have the dynamic force necessary
to provide enthusiasm at the
concert.
After playing some of their
early songs, the Foreigner concert
reached its climax with a trio of
hits. The crowd sprang to its feet
with "Urgent," a song from
Foreigner's "4" album. Back-up
musician Mark Rivera moved to

past week solidified my opinion of
-----
which he seeks to combine dance
and body patterns.
He describes the colors he uses
as "flat, bold with feeling and
movement". To Conn, the blue
he uses, "doesn't lay static, it
wiggles."
"Dancespirit" is two separately
framed pieces which make one
work of art. On each piece is a
female figure in slate blue,
outlined with a light beige on a
deep beige background. Both
figures face each other but may
also be placed to face out/
"The light edge around the
blue figures increases the feeling
of movement, vertical lines add
depth to the blue and beige," he
added.
At 50, Conn has been a
professional artist for ten years.
His works have won many awards
in San Antonio and Houston.
The concert's strongest point
was lead singer, Lou Gramm, who
unleased song after song with
tremendous energy. Excepting
the saxophone player in "Urgent,'
Gramm was usually the focal point
of the stage.
The concert's weakest point
was Foreigner's inablility during
most of the concert to establish
the rapport with the audience that
could be expected from a rock
group of Foreigner's calibre.
Foreigner spent most of tne
seventy minute concert enter-
taining with the music that has
built their reputation. The
confirmed the students in their
already held position on abortion.
However, I felt that the movie and
lecture were biased Pro-Life and
for that reason I would have liked
to have more representation and
insight from the opposition to
Pro-Life. I feel that this is a very
important matter that touches
moral, social, economic, and
political issues. If we, as a
Catholic university, are to help
prepare the students to make
moral decisions, we ought to
present both pro and con sides
equally and allow the students to
view the issue objectively."
"I'm personally against
abortion, so Pro-Life week solid-
ified my opinion. The movie said
that it was dealing with the prq
and con side, but it was obvious
that it was all pro. I can't say yes
or no on the issue of abortion
because I think it depends on the
situation. I think the answer is to
stop saying what is right or wrong
with the issue, and start educating
the students so they can make
their own decisions. What really
bugs me is that all the blame and
responsibility is put on the woman
and I feel that some of the
responsibilities should be dele-
gated to men as well."
