Athens City Council decided
#day to amend portions of
Taxi Ordinance involving
Athens only taxi cab service.
Veteran’s Cab Co.
The new ordinance will leave
ranee coverage and physi-
:equirements as they
and, but will defer the
. xtjuirement for meters to be
.nstailed until January 1. 1980
The ordinance will also allow
for the reduction in the
application fee for cab drivers
trom $25 to $5
parently the high cost of
application has led to the
tion in cab drivers since
Councilman Bob Carson
they simply could not afford to
pay the specified amount
before coming to work for the
company The fee had pre
viously been $2 and was then
changed to $25 when the city
council instituted the original
ordinance
The meters, to be installed in
January, have been the subject
of much controversy over the
past several years
Dennis Gueth, owner of
Veteran s said. “Putting in
meters will just hike the price
up for the riders Right now we're
on a shared route system
which means we can pick up
several different riders in one
car But. if we are forced to go
to a metered system, we’ll only
be able to pick up one rider at
a time since it will be the
distance of their particular
ride that's being measured
“Without meters.we are able
to conserve gasoline and allow
mdividuals to ride at a much
cheaper rate,’’ Gueth added
But according to Councilman
Robert Carson. “Meters are
going to be installed to end the
complaints we’ve gotten about
inconsistent rate charges To
be charged $1.25 one day and
$1 75 another day for riding the
same distance is ridiculous.’’
The question of whether the
city's ban on pinball should be
lifted will be decided at a
special meeting May 15. due to
lack of time for discussion
Tuesday night
The Council decided, in
another matter, to approve the
$70,000 contract that will allow
University students to ride city
bust's at last year's rates.

Carter wants to boost prices faster than that, leading to

Congress to pass a tax on excess profits.
Unable to muster a majority for President Carter’s emergency
standby gasoline rationing plan, the commerce committee

A motion to recommend passage failed on a tie vote. 21-21.
White House press secretary Jody Powell said Carter was “at
least somewhat encouraged” because the committee did not vote
down the proposal outright
Carter s backers can ask the House and Senate to consider the
plans, whatever the committees do. but a committee
recommendation could help in the floor fight.

GET RESPONSIBILITY FAST.
Police concert marred by boredom;
Wuoggerz deserved feature spot
By ROBERT HOI. 1.AND
Staff writer
It was a strange mixture-
punk bands interspersed with
taped music from the Dixie
Dregs and muzak versions of
“Just The Way You Are"
between sets But after the
Police had finished their
show at the Georgia Theatre
Tuesday night, one felt a new
appreciation even for bad
Dixie Dregs music.
The Police took the stage at
11:20 for a 50 minute set of
repetitive power chord punk,
running through most of their
album Outlandos I)'Armour
From the opening notes of
“I Can't Stand Losin' You” to
the final note of the encore,
the band wrangled song after
song out of the same tired
structure. It was actually a
relief when they finally got to
the awful "Roxanne " That
song's bad comerciality at
least offered a brief respite
from the boredom of the rest
of the set.
It’s truly a shame that the
Police rely on such over
worked stylization, because
there's a lot of talent being
wasted there Drummer
Stewart Copeland has a
vicious backbeat. guitarist
Andy Summers displays a
considerable amount of po
tential skill, and Sting, who
keeps up a good rhythm on
bass, has a fine pop voice.
They’re tight and they're
professional, but tight, pro
fessional boredom is just as
bad as any other kind. Now if
thev can onlv write music.to
They’re tight and they're
professional, but tight, pro
fessional boredom is just as
bad as any other kind Now if
they can only write music to
match their talent
The Police were preceded
by the Tone Tones, yet
another new wave. punk,
(call it what you will), bad
band.
Their sound is also the
standard (here we go again)
incessant power chording
shot through with Farfisa
organ so typical of most any*
new wave band you can
name. They even had a blood
curdling scream every now
and again from their female
bassist. What originality.
There were a couple of high
spots in the Tone Tones' set.
They did a passable version
of the Troggs' “6-5-4-3-2 1“ an
and original composition
entitled “Rita” that varied
ever so slightly from the
punk pattern
This is not to say that the
entire evening was a dismal
failure No. shining through
Staff phftfo Sally Krnrfmkr
Police member Sting performed as the group’s lead vocalist
the muck and mire of all that
senseless pounding was a
gleam of hope, the true spirit
of rock and roll—the Wuog
gerz.
The Wuoggerz started the
evening off with an all too
brief set of fine rock
standards Entering to the
kazoo strains of "Thus Spake
Zarathustrathe 10-piece
group took their places on
stage and got things started
with the Tommy James
classic “I Think We re Alone
Now."
They took off from there
with unique arriuignnnits of
Elvis Costello's “What’s So
Funny About Peace. Love
and Understanding.” “Listen
To Her Heart. and the
highlight of the evening, the
immortal Like A Rolling
Stone." Taking over vocals
on the second verse. Neil
Williamson wailed away in
fine form reminiscent of
Dyan's own singing on Before
the Flood.
The 30 minute .***( was
concluded with two tear ’em
up rockers. “Do Anything
You Want to Do" and the
Dictators' 'Baby Let’s
Twist The Wuoggettcs.
those inimitable back up
vocalists, joined the band in
their finale
Sadly, despite the crowd's
demands, the Wuoggerz were
not allowed an encore
Their s was the most ener
getically received set all
night, and they were the only
hand denied a chance to do
one more.
The Wuoggerz aren't musi
cal geniuses, and some times
they’re downright had But
that doesn't matter because
they're what rock and roll is
about, they're fun They do
not take themselves or any
thing else seriously, and they
have a true appreciation of
the rock and roll classics
The Tone Tones and the
Police could take a few
lessons from these guys
If the Wuoggerz are not
headliners the next time they
play the Georgia Theatre,
there is no justice
