SATURDAY
NORFOLK STATE University's Tim Reid Celebrity Weekend brings stars to the Spartan campus. One of this year's featured guests is Cook County, Illinois commissioner Jerry Butler. When the third-term politician is away from the office he returns to his most familiar role - as ``The Iceman.''
Butler formed the Impressions with Curtis Mayfield in 1958, then went on to a solo career with such hits as ``Only the Strong Survive.'' Saturday's 8 p.m. Echols Hall concert should include numbers from his new album ``Simply Beautiful.'' Also appearing is Regina Belle. Tickets $15 and $12.50. Call 671-8100 to order.
