It's this organ stuff that defines and makes a the Manchester sound easy to recognize and, quite possibly, easy to imitate. My favorite tracks on the album include the first single, "Plutoman," 'Lovegrove" and "Just Wednesday." But I must say that the whole package is very satisfying and just in time For the summer. f'S THAI i r rhere )le in Your 3ume? 1 iAMECOCK HAT HOLE! :ount executives a vnlnaHIo ? jmeregardless .olitical science ations |Mb|^ i essential to ie future.* I -J.Taylor Riittand ^ i ?>r\iiii> r week to work K UP YOUR K VTION IN ROOM JSSELL HOUSE 9 LL 777-4249 vl FORMATION.

He would probably say "thank you" o being called inept. The ZAZ comedy team (Zuckers, Graham, Zuckers), who introduced he world to "Airplane!," "Top Secret!," ind "Hot Shots!," continue their tralition of supplying at least one belly 1 augh every 30 seconds. They are true j: nasters who can't be touched by the ikes of "Fatal Instinct" and "Loaded s Weapon." Their jokes are wearing a litle thin, however. Perhaps unknowingly, the filmmak:rs of "Naked Gun 33 1/3" have abanloned their formulaic cops-and-bad- c fuys story and instead have opted for ? it i? _r i xsi L lii <ui-uui {j?uuuy ui inuucrn uims in ;eneral.

The link between rock music and lepression wasn't surprising.

Interspersed between the madcap >hysical humor are the clips of the lest Picture nominees, which include lichard Attenborough's musical renlition of Mother Teresa's life. "Geritric Park," where children are terrorzed by old men with walkers, is also . clever touch. "Naked Gun 33 1/3" wavers on the lelicate tightrope between high-brow omedy and jokes to please the lowst common denominator. More than :ither of its predecessors, the third ilm relies heavily on jokes about sex, perm banks, impotency, prison, bed vetting and old age to get a chuckle. At times, I would compare the filmnakers' work with that of Monty ython or the Marx Brothers, but oth:r times they seem to get "Weird" A1 'ankovic results.

The link between rock and negative attitudes was present in the older group of staff and faculty. However, among faculty and staff, depression, anxiety and hostility also were associated with classical music. Stratton and Zalanowski said it was uncertain whether the music actually induced negative moods or whether sadder, more anxious people were attracted to rock and classical music. for viewers best bumbling inspector since Clousseau. His Frank Drebin has retired from Police Squad, and he has taken up ironing, soap operas and cooking in his spare time. Priscilla Presley plays his working wife, a lawyer who finally wants to start a family Of course, Drebin leaves retirement to stop a terrorist, played by Fred Ward. Drebin goes undercover in prison to find out what is being plotted. One of the characters he meets is Tonya, played by Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith. She's a kitschy addition to a bizarre cast that includes gameshow hostess Vanna White, spunky gymnast Mary Lou Retton and Anne Davis (Alice from "The Brady Bunch"). A lot of what worked in the previous "Naked Gun" films doesn't work this time arrninri hut what Hnpt nirvrte made me laugh. It starts strong and becomes wearing as it continues. Once again, it's worth your while to stay and watch the credits. Along with the dolly operator and the key operator is "smooth operator" Sen. Bob Packwood. Other faux credits are thrown in to see if we're paying attention (sound mixer, fbley mixer, fraternity mixer...) "Naked Gun 33 1/3" is a lot of fun. It's by no means a great movie, nor is it up to par with its predecessors. But half of the jokes work, and they really are funny. Quit. i J 1f a W$ $SPf s ADIVl7lOHOrCI)*77^IIC|
