From Staff Reports The Carolina Program Union is undergoing some changes that will promote leadershin develnnment within thf? nronni7atinn said Peter Asp, president of\CPU. First, a subcommittee has been created by the organization's executive council that will coordinate the publicity for all union programs, Asp said. Representatives from all nine committees will serve on the subcommittee, Asp said. The subcommittee will serve as the public relations entity within the union, he said. 41 We are also pulling people from the journalism school so we can get some new creative input," he said.

This subcommittee will give the people involved a chance to develop their skills as student leaders while promoting the CPU to students through newsletters and representatives speaking at different meetings around campus, said Kim Cape, chairman of the subcommittee.

I here are three sections ot the class, one for potential greek leaders, one for potential CPU leaders and one that develops leadership skills in general, Asp said.

"Strip," Ant's latest effort, has major mmercial appeal, but only flashes of dical flair. Take, for instance, Ant's seductive poses 1 the front and back covers of the "Strip" cket, and his rather vain ? as well as vealing ? photo on the inner sleeve. EITHER ANT'S trying to convey the cord's risque theme in pictures as well as usic, or else he's making an out-and-out ay for the affections of the female recordlying public. l - 1.. uianing sui;n an overt move to capitalize i his dark-haired, pirate-eyed good looks, nt unfortunately obscures what otherwise is potentially strong record. The lyrics are a t too pushy, but Ant's consistent vocal esence carries most of the 10 tracks. "Strip" seems to be an album of ex:rimentation and a commercial product, reviously known for pounding tribal lythms. Ant's new songs resort largely to andard beats, which are adequate considerig most of the material is subdued and, lerefore, does not need the harsher lythms. In effect, Ant is experimenting with )nventionality. For eight of the 10 songs on "Strip," coroducer Richard Burgess is the drummer, ut on the record's storngest tracks, "Puss v] Boots" and the title track, Ant employs ienesis drummer/singer Phil Collins. opment effective meeting are to be covered throughout the semester, he said. "We are very conscious not only, about producing quality programs for the Carolina students, but also training people to be responsible student leaders in the process," he said. "Our SDrine Bizarre, for exnmnlo will hp held April 5-7, and we are accepting applications for subcommittee chairmen from the student body to allow people to have some experience in organizing an event this large," he said.

Collins also produced the songs, along with Hugh Padgham (Police producer). As for the other eight songs, Ant offers a mixed bag of quality. Several of the songs get bogged down in sexual innuendo and explicitness, such as "Baby Let Me Scream At You". Get in, get on, get down, get off/ Get up, get dressed, get out "Playboy," however, breaks into the rough guitar playing of Marco Pirronni (of the origianl back-up Ants) and Ant's cynical vocals and is reminiscent of "Kings of the Wild Frontier." AND "NAVEL to Neck" brings back those familiar tribal drums that Ant built his career on. Although some of the material on "Strip" is weak, each song carries the potential for Ant tr* hrinn 1* ? f ? ' .1 u\> iium me depths. His voice is amazingly versatile, and he has an impressive vocal range. He has more than enough voice to match his swashbuckling image, if only he would dare to use it. Ant, who evolved from punker to new romantic, has in the past demonstrated a mucical quirkiness that set him apart from his imitators; and he had the music to back it up. "Strip" is somewhat less than what Ant is capable of. Two or three quality songs and a suggestive cover just don't make for a gold album.
