"There will be a lot of motion picture and video products coming out of this area; this is going to be happening more and more. I'm hoping that with this documentary we'll make merchants and businessmen more aware of the power of the media. Art in this area is a very potent force and with the Cultural Center going up it's going to get bigger and bigger." wife, and he had the technical knowledge for post-production work," said Vassanella.

"We merged our research and have been working on it pretty heavily since about February and March right up till a few days ago, making it better and better." The resulting film belies its makeshift origins. By focusing on the views of three interested parties Lee Richardson, co-founder of the Crossroads Theatre Company, Orrin T. Hardgrove, president of New Brunswick Tomorrow; and Robert Schneider, the owner of the the J. August Cafe, a victim of the city's redevelopment plans "Beyond the Bricks" manages to at least suggest the complexities and emotions involved in the current At a recent private showing at the Elk's Club on Livingston Avenue in New Brunswick, the film was well received by a group of invited viewers. After the showing, several audience members said that they thought the film maintained a delicate balance of objectivity, although some said that too many issues were left undiscussed.

The filmmakers replied that they see the film as a "pilot," and only the first word in the series. Vassanella and Blakely are interested in circulating the film in the New Brunswick area for a few months, possibly marketing it through the public library system. They expect that the film will soon be broadcast on local and state cable channels, and hope that in somewhat re-edited form, it will eventually be broadcast on the PBS television network. Vassanella said that any organization or individual interested in seeing the film call him at 932-8284. "There seems to be the interest and motivation, but like everything else it takes money," he said.

So far, the film has cost the filmmakers $2,000 of their own money, and they themselves have not been paid. "There's no money to be made in documentaries," said Blakely. "In fact, there's a lot of money to be lost," added Vassanella. Blakely says that video and film work is increasing in the area, and that there could well be a media explosion in the future. "There are a lot of talented people Continued from Page F1 pone had long planned to make their own documentary on New Brunswick.

"When Jim showed up, he had all this good footage he didn't know what to do with," said Blakely, who with BlakelySapone Productions previously produced a film about the reknowned New Jersey sculptor Waylande Gregory. "I wanted to make sure that it came out all right We sort of made this film up as we went along, which is not how I like to work. The last month has been really intense."

This (the metropolitan New YorkNew Jersey market) is the most vibrant market in the world; there's so much offered, but the one thing not being offered was stereo music. It was our decision to provide something unique in this market." The transmitter was relocated across the Hudson River atop the Empire State Building, and on June 1 without the benefit of advance publicity U68 went on the air. "We did absolutely nothing to promote it, and the irony is that we're getting such a tremendous response from people just flipping around the dail. We had no money for promotion, frankly, and certainly there was no time to give advance notice," the programming director explained.

That's not the way it was done when WWHT inaugurated its pay television service in 1977. A multimedia advertising blitz, complete with radio and TV spots, newspaper ads and highway billboards introduced the region to the then-new over-the-air pay subscription package. AT its peak, WWHT had 113,000 subscribers, according to Harold Brownstein, managing director of Cooper Wireless' Channel 60 operation, based in Fairfield. Cooper purchased the assets of WWHT late last year, at which time he estimates there were 65,000 customers. That number has since dropped to 40,000, as the low-power signal can only transmit within a 10-15 mile radius, excluding most of the Central Jersey region, according to Brownstein.

WWHT's stereo video music is broadcast in half-hour blocks between noon and 11 p.m., when it signs off the air. Sandwiched in between are live news segments. Its broadcast day begins at 7 a.m., with a selection of religious and community affairs programming. Its video format differs from MTV in that U68 utilizes an off-camera announcer to introduce the videos; MTV has five on-air personalities, who are as much a part of the rock video format as the videos themselves. MTV, with more than 20 million viewers, has a national audience; U68 never will, but, according to Afriat-Hernandez, that doesn't prevent the tiny station from thinking big.

"We hope to expand our rotation, and update the play list soon, and we anticipate going 24 hours at some point. It's being discussed, and soon, we'il install a concert telephone line for information. "What we did in so short a period of time is really exciting," Afriat-Hernandez added. "We believe we made the right choice and we're on the right track. People are just beginning to find us." 16-Number Automatic Dialer Cut 360 ET-400 by Radio Shack f-V A 1 lPi Programmable Security Code Prevents Other Cordless Phones From Dialing On Your Line Reg.

As you would expect, WTBS carries those games; in fact, all 162 games played by the Braves are broadcast by WTBS, and if any of those broadcasts do not conflict with the broadcast of any Yankees, Mets, or Phillies games, TKR viewers will be afforded an opportunity to cheer for "America's Team," as they have become known through their national cable television exposure. As of March 1985, WTBS numbered 33,960,000 viewer households, by far the largest audience reached by any cable channel. Like its owner, it does things in a big way.

It owns a catalog of 4,000 movie titles, "the most of any service in the country," explained Margaret Ann Behrends, program director at TKR. Its sports programming also includes telecasts of Big Ten and Pac 10 college football and NASCAR and stock car racing. WTBS is also noted for a wide offering of '50s, '60s and 70s sitcoms, from "Leave It To Beaver," to "All in the Family." "We feel WTBS will offer higher viewer satisifaction because of the diversity of its progamming," Behrends explained. "We think our customers will find it is a strong channel. Based on surveys and comparison programming, we feel the majority of the programming on WPHL will show up on WTBS." Cartoons, specials and original programming round out the WTBS package.

WPHL is being dropped from the TKR system because regulations imposed by the Federal Communications Commission limit the number of "distant import signals" from beyond the cable system's service area. The two Philadelphia stations the other carried by TKR is WTAF fill that quota. To carry any imports above that number would require TKR to pay "extremely heavy" copyright fees," according to Behrends. i a nt Make and take anywhere around the house, even out- nn doors, without trailing cords!

As such the art from "Tel-News" is rendered in watercolor, gouache, pencil, acrylic and more. In addition, the flexibility of the camera and the 20th century printing press permitted an ever increasing sophistication in the printing process, allowing tonal effects and values and a freedom of expression that was unheard of in Homer's day. As a result the more recent works are frequently more dramatic and intense in affect. It is also interesting to not how illustration became less formal and more painterly over the years. The Homer exhibition focuses, basically, on war, work and leisure activity.

Among the best known prints are his famous beach scenes that include several vignettes observed along the New Jersey Shore at Long Branch. The 85 "Tele-News" works, all by New Jersey artists, include the work of such well know illustrators as Harry Devlin of Mountainshide, Charles McVicker of Princeton and Charles Waterbouse of Edison. Both exhibitions continue through Aug. 5. Continued from Page F1 nicer aspects of daily life using precisely incised line to capture their subject.

With the exception of a few military plates in this collection that record the hardship of war, these prints are predominately scenes of children at play and pictures of adults, peacefully going about the everyday. The "Tele-News" art, on the other hand, is more varied in both content and approach. The collection is the product of an era when the use of the camera and improved print technology made it possible for the illustrator to give talent its head; to work freely with the knowledge that what was created was almost exactly what the viewer got to see. This new technical freedom allowed the introduction of color, tonal variation that was previously impossible, and a variety of linear effects that were impossible within the technical constrictions of the engraving. Jeffrey Wechsler, assistant director of the Zimmerli points out that One of the interesting things you get from looking at illustrations is the vast variety of techniques and the inventiveness that the illustrators use to develop an idea."

"Our music has evolved as we have evolved as people," said Oates. "It's gone from teen-age experiences and emotions and the world seen through the eyes of a child, to the world as seen through the eyes of adults. It's grown to include much more pertinent subject matters.

It's really been a reflection of our growth as people." As songwriters and musicians, Oates said he and Hall over the years have been influenced more by their environment than by other musicians. "We're more influenced by what is going on around us," said Oates, adding that New York City, where they have lived for the past 15 years, is a "constant source of 1 Our exclusive, premium formulation gives you bright, true-to-life colors, superior picture definition and wide-range sound, even after multiple recordings and playbacks.
