Punk rock plays at Emory
By KURT WOOD
ATLANTA—Athens’ own
B52s performed before an
enthusiastic crowd at Emory
University Saturday night
The Alumni Memorial Uni
versity center’s Cuke Room
was the site for the event,
which basically was an unpuh
licized party, but was open to
anyone interested enough to
venture in.
The B52’s had the support of
the local Atlanta New Wave
musicians, among others Most
of the members of the Fans
and Cruise-O-Matic attended
the program
Before and after the show,
pre-recorded music was pro-

vided by everyone from Gene
Vincent to the Jam Kevin
Dunn, the Fans’ guitarist, did
take to the stage beforehand,
however, to put on a short
exhibit using half a dozen
pedal devices to demonstrate
how widely a guitar sound can
be altered.
But the big event was indeed
the B52’s and they took the
stage amid universal acclaim.
The band played their usual
set. the same one they pounded
out at the Last Resort a month
ago, but there was an
important difference in sur
roundings. In the Coke Room
there was plenty of space to
dance, and all but a handful of
the capacity crowd took
advantage of that fact.
The dance floor was filled
with the gyrations of every
thing from the twist to the
pogo. and every possible
mutation or variation thereof.
Bowing to demand, the B52's
encored with a continuation of
i “Rock Lobster .”
Rumors had been circulating
that a virgin composition
would debut. but it was not to
be Fred Schneider, (lead
vocals) said afterwards that
the band has been working on
several new songs, but none
have been rehearsed enough to
play live lie also said they
want to play Athens again
"before too long.”
York dates this weekend.
As reported previously, the
BS2’s will be playing at Max’s
Kansas City Friday and
Saturday, backing the Mar*
hies, but they scored a major
coup getting a date at CBGB's
on Sunday Who knows, the
group may return with a
contract in addition to further
experiences in the northlands.

What is art? To Andre
Kertesz, 84-year-old interna
tional photographer, art is the
photograph of a legless war
veteran selling flowers, the
irony of a frail old woman at a
circus surrounded by posters
of lions, or the power of a
farming couple swallowed by
the hills around their field.
An exhibit of the best of
Kertesz’s photographs are on
display through Feb 28, in the
Main Library sponsored by the
libraries and the Department
of Romance Languages
Kertesz, born in Hungary,
took up photography in 1912,
shortly before fighting in WWI
with the Austro-Hungarian
army After working with war
scenes and landscapes. Kertesz
moved to Paris in 1925 where
"The French fell in love with
him,” according to library
information specialist Vance
Trussed.
Kertesz’s reputation grew
and by the time he moved to
the United States m 1936. he
was well-known and respected
Master photograper Henri
Cartier-Bresson has said that
photographers everywhere to
day "owed something to
Kertesz.”
Except for one period in
which he worked with distorted
nude studies, Kertesz has
preferred to work with simple
subjects which represent in
tense themes. In "May Day"
he shows a legless man, stoic
and pitiful, selling flowers to a
Although the group was
playing at the request of some
friends, the appearance gave
them a chance to get in a final
live show before their New

Kertesz captures an intense
irony in “Fauves," a study of
an old. (rail woman at a circus
surrounded by a poster of
lions.
"The photograph derives its
beauty (rom the very truth of
which il is impreganated. "
Kertesz writes ' This is why I
avoid all tricks or feats ol
vituosity. when I have found
the subject which interests me.
I leave to the lens the
responsibility of recording the
image faithfully."
He is both like and unlike the
painter in the respect of lefling
the camera record what is
there Kertesz wants to ex
press the timeless, the univer
sal. not by imposing his
feelings on the subject, but by
letting the subject tell the story-
in its stark reality,
“Painting is one thing."
Kertesz writes, “and photo
graphy is another thing, but
it's not the same thing."
