Oct, 5,199G-The rap concert for
the fell has finally arrived.
After all the summer hoopla
about 2 Live Crew and the subsequent,
obnoxious banning of all
rap concerts at the Coliseum, it
would seem fitting to bring the
top-selling rapper in the nation
to the Coliseum to celebrate the
return of rap.
Tonight, it's Hammer time.
MTV Video Music Award winner
and Grammy winner M. C.
Hammer has already fostered
three of his songs to the top of the
charts.
However, "Can't Touch This"
won him much of his recognition
and fame.
Musically, Hammer received
some help from Prince and Rick
James on his latest album, and
because of it, he's been able to
put his style of rap into an already
profitable position.
However, look for Hammer
to begin the night with "Let's Get
it Started" off of his old album
and then slowly wind into
songs off the new album.
Also, ne s Known to shock his
fans with those twisting moves
he's so famous for.
So be wary.
At a live performance, M. C.
Hammer will probably explode.
He's got some great openers
to make sure you enjoy the show.
Vanilla Ice will cool you off
with some Ice, Ice, Baby." This
newcomer's definitely got it going.
En Vogue will be there for
those who want to hear actual
singing and melodizing.
So just hold on to your seats
and get ready to party. It's sure ,
to be a blast. J

LEROY WILLIAMS
Dec. 5,1979-Three telephone calls, two
to the University Police Department, and
j _ one to USC president James B. Holderman,
apparently caused a fraternity fundraising
strip tease show to end prematurely
when it was broken up by campus police
Monday evening.
The party was broken up by campus
police, who said a complaint was phoned
in to Holderman about a noisy party, according
to David McNair, Sigma Alpha Epsilon
president. Earlier that evening, someone
phoned campus police, saying there
were going to be "hookers" in the SAE
lounge, McNair said.
"The police found both complainants
to be invalid.," McNair said. "We cleared
the first complaint over the phone with
them, and they came over here and checked
out the second one, and found nothing
wrong."
An unidentified fraternity member,
who was in charge of the event, said the
strip show was supposed to be a pledge
class fund-raising project. "We were going
to charge a dollar to get in. We had the
whole thing cleared with a lawyer, the campus
police and the McBiyde area office,"
he said.
"Our president registered the party
with Student Affairs," the member said.
"We had the go-ahead to do it, just as long
as we kept the noise down."
The unified SAE member said the show
consisted of two dancers doing two sets
each. While dancing, the girls were doing
a burlesque act," he said.
There were 150 people in the lounge
when the show was raided, according to
the member.
"We didn't advertise it around campus,"
he said. "We wanted to limit the attendance
to the quad area. We didn't let
anybody know about it until 8 p.m. that
evening."
