By CHRIS MULDROW
Staff Writer
Puppet Regime, USC's theater club, is bringing
another winner to Longstreet Theatre tonight
through Saturday.
Jeremy Jacobs is directing "The Tooth of
Crime," a Sam Shepard play based on the fall of
a rock and roll superstar.
"This play is heavily based on pop culture,"
Jacobs said. "It's about a rock star with a very
big ego who is also very human. The play is
based on his downfall as he is replaced by a
younger star."
Jacobs said the play is futuristic but has elements
of the past also.
"Shepard wrote this play in 1972, and he was
writing on the cutting edge of the culture of the
time," Jacobs said. "We updated parts of the
script to make it more timely."
Jacobs said he started thinking about the

Christmas.
He cast the
parts at the beginning of this school year and the
group has been in full rehearsal for four weeks.
"I thought it was quite amazing to see all the
progress we have made over such a short time,"
Jacobs said.
Progress is an understatement. The play is definitely
on the "cutting edge." "Tooth of Crime" is
powerful and relevant, and its delivery slices like
a knife.
The dramatic tension is extremely intense; it is
almost physically exhausting to watch as the players
unravel the strings of the main character's life.
All of the acting was very tight and carefully
coordinated. I was amazed to see actors keeping
in character even when action was stopped for
technical adjustments.
Richard Blair, who plays the main character,
Hoss, had particularly strong control and utter
devotion to his role.
John Haskins, who plays Crow, the upcoming
star, portrays the smooth, slick-talking rapper
with mastery. Edie Senter creates a seductive and
vicious Beckv. Hoss's adviser/lover/manimilator.
?r ' r
Lighting designer Les Dickert was working on
finishing touches as of Monday night, and it was
amazing to see him paint the mood of the scenes
with subtle colors and shadows.
The element which truly makes the play, however,
is the music. There are six songs written
into the play, and Jacobs said all six have been
made more modern to match the current, progressive
feeling of the play.
Local band Dionysus plays the music with
power and authority, creating a strong opening
musical scene and continuing the tension throughout
the play.
Go and see 'Tooth of Crime" tonight through
Sunday at 8 p.m. at Longstreet Theatre. Tickets ja
are only $2, a bargain for theater of this quality.
'Tooth of Crime" is not just a play ? it is a pi
theatre experience which cannot be duplicated.

There are many reasons why
people choose to be vegetarians.
Some people choose such a
lifestyle for religious, ethical,
environmental and health reasons.
Vegetarian diets are usually
low in fat and high in fiber, in
accordance with the guidelines of
the American Cancer Society and
the American Heart Association
for a healthy diet.
However, there are problems
associated with being a vegetarian
when a person does not pay attention
to all their dietary needs. The
most common problems associated
with extreme vegetarianism are
protein, iron and vitamin B-12
deficiencies.
If you follow these guidelines
provided by the Open Door
Health and Wellness Program,
you may be more successful at
maintaining a healthy vegetarian
lifestyle.
Eat a variety of foods.
Vegetarians have a wide variety
3f fruits, vegetables and grains to
:hoose from and the greater variety
eaten, the better chance of get:ing
all the necessary nutrients.
Combine foods to get complete
proteins. A vegetarian must know
ibout complementary proteins in
mxler to use them to plan meals.
'Diet for a Small Planet" by
Francis Moore Lappe is an excelent
and informative book on this
subject.
Female vegetarians should
especially be concerned about geting
enough iron. Choose iron-forified
products and plants with
ugh iron content suclfas spinach,
aisins and dried fruits. If you eat
bods high in vitamin C while eatng
foods high in iron, the amount
)f iron that your body absorbs
vill increase.

ometimes hard for vegetarians to
;et. To combat this problem, most
lieticians recommend adding
>rewer's yeast or wheat germ to
'our food as well as taking vitanin
supplements. These can be
ound in most health food stores.
Maintaining a healthy, active
egetarian lifestyle requires careul
food choices, knowledge of
;ood nutrition, discipline and creitivity.
Dining on campus can
resent serious limitations to
respective vegetarians.
People should carefully weigh
he pros and cons of a vegetarian
ifestyle before making a decision.
