Me, I worry some about not getting
tickets to see Karla Devito at the
Kcger Center. Over the years, I've
bonded with the cast of TV's
wonderful bar crowd at Cheers,
especially Karla. When I was told
Karla had an upcoming show at the

to see my favorite little bar maid on

There are before and after photos
of E.T.'s pet girl, Drew Barrymore,
who just got out from drug rehabilation.
Barrymore "started drinking at
9, smoking pot at 10 and using cocaine
at 12." I wonder what kind of
birthday parties she had. Did other
parents let their kids come? Now, I
want to know exactly what that alien
did to poor Drew to make her stray
so. There is something about this
E.T. character's planet that we know
nothing about! An investigation is in
order.
There's a fresh new magazine, The
Ghoti Fish, available around town.
This rag offers violent comics, band

native photographer David

past summer and soon learned to talk
to him. He denies that we know each

But his works look great, and I personally

Pick up The Ghoti Fish for a needed,
new experience; I think you'll like

Koger Cent
SUSAN NESBITT
Assistant news editor
Like the Mahler symphony, the Koger Center
was unfinished. But both made stunning debuts in
Columbia Saturday evening.
The affair was the opening of the Ira and Nancv
Koger Center for the Arts. The fare was Gustav
Mahler's Symphony No. 10, F-sharp major, left incomplete
at the composer's death.
Various musicians have studied and a few have
actually completed the work, including Clinton
Carpenter. The London Philharmonic, with conductor
Harold Farberman, performed Carpenter's
version for the event.
The orchestra is world class ? there's no
dispute. The performance was virtually flawless ?
Columbia expected no less. The venue itself was
truly the object of review.
The Koger Center looked impressive from the

has received its share of criticism, but with the
lights on inside and most of the painting done, it
was beautiful.
The interior was, indeed, a little rough yet. Not
all the carpet was down. Some of the masking tape
from painting still edged door frames and fixtures,
and some painting simply hadn't been completed.

There was more than enough to see before and

"dress to impress." It holds true that men's
fashion aims at making them look like one another
and women's at individualism. The tuxedos were
sharp, but pretty much generic. It was a regular

of the evening's fun was strolling casually through
the crowd and checking out what everyone was
wearing. There was the typical assortment of furs,
taffeta and velvet, lace, sequins, baubles and
bangles.
There is little doubt that when the Koger Center
is finally completed, inside and out, it will be as
much of a visual treat as Saturday night's patrons.
For the record, Nancy Koger wore the most
