Pepper " will attack me. So let me apologize here : I got the lyrics wrong ,it' s not "You've GOT TO carry that weight ," it' s "You're GONNA carry that weight." Peace .) Now to try again . The Fug s are about the most honored group in rock . I don't mean that they 've ever got a Grammy, or that they 've even ever had a single . (Matter of fact, they 've never HAD a single: top 40 radio Wealthy Har ry L. Magee couldn't take it). But they 're honored nonetheless: they took their name from Mailer s "Naked & The Dead," which was written in 1948 when you couldn 't print the real thing. Leader Ed Sanders is a protege of Ginsberg, and has edited F— YOU despite all the obscenity hassels; Tuli Kupfeber g has not only had his stuff anthologized in Judith Merrill' s ' '«F 12," but he' s also the oldest rock star in the U .S. (he 's 43, maybe 44); they and fellow-Fu g Ken Weaver led the chant to rise the Pentagon off its base during the October '67 protest . (For those interested , the exocism is included in their second album , "T enderness J unction"). And honor of all honors , they played at Lenny Brace 's funeral , and if you don't know who Lenny was you can just keep readin g to find out . Never let it be said that Lenny died in vein. Absent from their new album are Leary and Ginsberg, but the Greenwich poetry is still here . And of the ten cuts, seven are of protest . The others are typical * ly Fug (l.e. vulgar , if youbelieve there' s such a thing as vulgar) funny, like "Queen of the Nile," all about a puking sphinx of some such nonsense. Gn«y*«y to iSiami Dear Editor : This let ter is in answer to many inquiries as to what happened to the Maroon and Gold Band on Saturday , Oct. 25 , during the half-time performanc e at the Cheyney-Bloocnsburg football game. Cheyney ' s band was informed that they would be given the first eight minutes of the half -time show to which they agreed. The Maroon and Gold Band would then take the last seven minutes of the half. Cheyney took up about thirteen minutes allowing no time for our performance. We would like to make it quite clear that it was not the fault of the M&G Band but the fault of Cheyney 's Band. If we had not lef t the fi eld when we did , a penalty could have been given to our team. Sincerely , Patricia Lelby, Sec. M aroon and Gold Band LOVE IS GOD The title cut , "The Bel lo of Avenue A , " has to be the funntest song I' ve ever hoa rd. It' s billed as a "sym pathetic trea tment of the plight of a horn y truck driv er who falls in love with a bra- less hippie nooky geist who spurns his tend er offer of middle-clas s life In subu rban Junc tion City, Kansas. " It' s a countrified thing, and it puts me on the floor every time. From her button tha t reads " Love is God" to her purple nipples to her zipper 'Unzipper ing toes , the hippie nooky- geist is more than a match for the JunctionCity-Kans as -horn y truck driver . She deals the cards , asks his sign, then tells him it can 't wor k, even thou gh she has jus t allowed his loving her ("Love me , and pra y to my body"). The driver 's jieart-touchin g truck farewell scene and last rom antic words are surely classic: "Well he reeled in his dick and he headed for the door , filled with an awful love. 'Shee-it , she can suck on a purple doughnut , buddy,, Ah' m gonna split for home ."' Anyway , I thought it was funny. The protest next . There 's "Bum 's Song": 'T dreamed of a bum , seven feet tall . Who crushed the bour geoise toi Just another Tu ll song, it grates on the ears. Then we have "Chicago ," which starts off with a drum beat that sounds like a skipping needle and goes Into the following: "I saw the gasses floating d own, upon America' s youth , All the world was watching the terror in the streets ." Then it moves into a nursery chant , slightly altered , topped with a sarcastic lullab y ("Ma y you sleep'in peace , M ayor Daley ") and th en it goes back to the like of the beginning . T her e 's "Mr . Mack , " which , it says here , is "a cr y out against violence , warmon ger suck- . ghouls , stran gulation squad s, and needless death . 'l Hoo-Ka y, I guess that about covers it . Oh no it doesn 't either: how bout the food in Husk y?

It Is this re* port er' s opinion that the colorf ul birds are up on the ridg es sur roun ding the pre viously mention * ed towns . The reason for this occurrence is because of the heavy spring rains which thoroughly soaked the lowland s killing many of the youn g bird s in the proces s.

But don't stan d in awe , we're just a small grou p of colleges in central and eastern Pennsylvania who have banded together for a common purpose : the advancement of Intercollegi ate chess .
