hibits collective bargaining unless by Steve Raabe Community college faculty of legislative funding is received. The Board's action killed any Colorado have apparently been chan~e for the bargaining agreedefeated in their efforts to obtain ment, according to State Reprecollective bargaining rights. The State Board for Communi- sen ta ti v e Tom Tancredo (R-< ty Colleges and Occupational Edu- . Arvada), chairman of the House cation, the governing agency for Education committee. ''There is absolutely no chance the system, passed an amendment that the legislature will whatsoever in its September meeting that pror:

appropriate those funds,'' Tancredo said. Keith Dallas, a Community College-Denver math instructor, agreed the collective bargaining provision has been effectively sidetracked. He warned that unless SBCCOE and the state legislature lift their restrictions on faculty organization, a strike could occur. "We're asking for a fair and equitable contract," Dallas said. "A strike shouldn't be necessary but we will do it if it comes to that." Dallas said faculty members were especially upset because in 1976 SBCCOE formally aecepted . a collective bargaining agreement. The Board's September vote reversed that decision. Several persons sympathetic to the faculty position blamed Gov. Richard Lamm for the current negotiation problems. "Lamm decided that if he wanted to get along with the Republican legislature, collective bargaining was a sacrifice he could make," said Gwendolyn Thomas, a voting member of SBCCOE. Thomas said the board's 5-4 vote against the bargaining proposal was a direct result of recent Lamm appointments to the board.

Colorado Education Association President Jim Mills also ~lamed Lamm for the board's act1on. "It's particularly disappointing that the governor, who says he believes in collective bargaining as an effective problem-s9lving process, did nothing to head off this collision between the board and the faculty," Mills said. The board recommended a 15 percent salary increase for the instructors in its budget request, but legislative approval for the increase is uncertain, Thomas said. Tancredo indicated he would support a salary increase, but refused to name a specific figure. He said it was the duty of the legislature to "hold the line" on inflationary spending. State laws now require a 7 percent ceiling on state spending over the previous year's budget. Dallas was skeptical that the proposed increase would mollify facult.y discontent. "They might think we're a bunch of ~hor~s, b~t they can't buy us off, Dallas said. Additional strategy for the teachers' group is being discussed, Dallas said, but does not include immediate plans for any strikes or walkouts.

tlews Non~andicapped need ~awareness', by Joan Conrow

As the number of handicapped students at Auraria increases, so does the need for education and awareness among the non-handicapped. "We've found the able-bodied people are opening up unbelie\lably to the handicapped in their classes and on campus," said Barbara O'Cain, Assistant Director for the Community College of Denver Center for Physically Disadvantaged. "All it really takes is some exposure. People are willing to open up and adapt." A common problem among the nonhandicapped is knowing how to approach the disabled person. The indecision often results in non-disabled people ignoring the handicapped altogether. "When I see a person in a wheelchair, I don't know if I should help them through the door or not," said MSC student Kathy Leonard. "I don't want to offend them so I usually don't do anything." Bill George, who uses a wheelchair to get around campus offered an easy solution to that dilemma. "Just walk up and ask them if they need help, but don't be offended if they say 'no'." he said. "I don't want to be a burden on my wife or the society in which I live. I have to learn how not to be, how tb do things myself." George said a lot of people are overly helpful, just because they do not

understand this need f~r self-sufficiency. He said some people still have old hangups about the handicapped. "If they see a person in a wheelchair or a person who is d~af, they're afraid they might get it (thel disability) too if they come around," h1said. "None of us has a com{llunicabl disease, or we wouldn't be here." Both George an Osie Bearden, a legally blind CCD student, stressed the fact that they are really ''no different than anyone else." "People often thirk that if a person is handicapped, the 're off mentally too," said George. "It just isn't so." Bearden said wha~ bothers him most is people tend to looiq at a handi~apped person with pity, wh~n they should see the person's courage. "Many of us had our handicaps occur suddenly, and it was a shock. You have to learn to ove~come that depression," he said. "The andicapped person has a lot of courag , a lot of determination, a lot of gut ." George said a l~t of the deaf and blind students are i olated from other students because pe pie do not know 1-iow to communicate ith them. "We've been as~ed to develop sign language classes, an have had a lot of volunteers to . read f r the blind," said O'Cain. "We do hire people to read, and people with interpreti 11e skills.'' Bearden and George said a discussion group mee s every Thursday at . 2:30 in room 115 of the CCD Adminis-

·Hews Is illiteracy a college problem? by Joan Conrow ~

Although steadily declining SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) scores are resulting in concern about the literacy of the nation's young, most students entering Metropolitan State College have college-level English skills. "The majority of (entering) students are prepared to start college level writing • courses,'' said Dr. John Spradley, Chairman of the English Department. "Approximately one-third are not; we have special courses for them." Dr. Barbara Blansett, an English professor at Metro, voiced concern about the writing skills of the students in her classes. ·~1 deplore the unpreparedness of students sent out to college," she said. "I think a much better job should be done in high school." Sandra Doe, co-ordinator of the MSC English Placement Program, said it \.. does not matter what students' abilities are when they begin at MSC. She said MSC, as an open-door institution must address students' abilities at "what ever level they come in.'' MSC has students with diverse backgrounds, ages and interests, so the English faculty has to develop programs 1 to deal with the entire student spectrum. "The attempt to do this results in a rich curriculum; rich in the sense we offer repeated experience through different approaches," said Dr. Gene Saxe. "We

have programs for freshman and sophomore students that are original, creative and flexible.'' The core of this curriculum is the 100, 101 and 102 composition courses. Students start in either in English 100 or 101 after taking the placement test, which consists of writing an essary. "Some students who are really able to begin in 101 are so unsure of themselves they insist on taking 100," said Spradley. ''Then there are those that need 100 and resent the placement, at· least initially." The 100 class is self-paced, allowing a student to progress at their own speed. These classes were designed to provide

individualized attention from instructors and student assistants. However, Spradley said, the department was not funded this year to hire the assitants. Faculty members stressed the importance of small classes. Doe said 20 is an ideal number" for a freshman class. In addition, the Writing Center was created this year to give students an oportunity to seek further instruction on their own time. Blansett, who teaches some 102 courses, said the 100 and 101 classes seem to improve the students' writing skills. "Most are fairly capable of putting a sentence together by the time I get them,'' she said. "I do have a few that have chronic problems." Her position is shared by other faculty. "There's a heavy emphasis in the department on writing," said Doe. "There's a real concern students' who come to us can develop skills we think are important.'' Saxe said the selection and background of faculty members stresses the importance of the writing program. He said instructors attend workshops where they can work on their own skills, and attend conferences dealing with composition programs. ''There is a great deal of interaction between the Reading Program, STAR (Steps To Abstract Reasoning) and the English Department,'' he said. This interaction is important, Doe

said, because writing is a way of learning in most other college programs. Students also realize the importance of developing their writing skills, and faculty members see a variety of student reactions. "They (students) are highly motivated, knowing it's a skill, but not sure of how it's (writing) learned," said Saxe. "It's frightening for some." Blansett and Doe see more serious interest among the students, and a recognition of the importance of overcoming defeciencies. "Many are discouraged; they've been told what's wrong, not what's right,'' Doe said. "Like any skill, if you don't practice or have an audience, it falls off. "It's very important to talk about what you are going to write as a way of articulating your ideas,'' she said. "It's important to transfer that talking to paper. _Even the weakest of students, if encouraged in this manner, can begin to develop self confidence. Anyone who can talk can get their ideas going on paper.'• Saxe agrees the students are generally mature and have experience and common sense to draw upon in their writings. "They're substantial human beings, which is fundamental to success in writing,'' he said. The instructors said they were continued on page 10

Editorial Hearings: the Student's chance to speak by Frank Mullen

On October 22, the Colorado Comission on Higher Education will conduct public hearings on "the continuance, restructuring, or dissolution of the Auraria Higher Education Center.'' The hearings are required by House Bill 1498 which puts the campus under the state's sunset provision - and the CCHE is due to make their reccomendations to the legislature before January 15, 1980. The hearings will be held between 3-5 p.m. and between 7-9 p.m. in room 330A of the Student Center. Anyone who wishes to address the Commission may sign up at the door. It-is the staff, faculty and student's chance for direct input to the people who will ultimately shape the future of the Auraria threeschool/ one-campus concept. The restructuring of the campus has been proceeding since the end of the last legislative session. The non-academic support services will be consolidated - most will be under the administration of the Auraria Board - and the CCHE recently accepted a staff report to consolidate nine academic programs between the University of Colorado at Denver and Metropolitan

State college. The programs affected are urban studies, ethnic studies (including black studies and Chicano studies), philosophy, modern languages, education and physics. Th~ CCHE plan for the duplicative academic programs states: ·

1. The responsibility for baccalaureate programs in Education will be transferred to MSC. Certification will be availbble to UCD undergraduate students majoring in Arts and Science programs in conjunction with the graduat~ teacher certification program at UCD. 2. ~or Ethnic Studies, Foreign Languages, Philos hy, Physics and Urban Studies, "conso/idati n" is understood to entail the merging of academ resources in each discipline at the two institutio s into a single department, with a single chairman, offering a single curriculum, leading to a joint degree, and equally serving both student bodies. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the institutions' commitments in the areas of Ethnic Studies and Urban Studies, ii is acknowledged that not all of the provisions proposed for the merger of academic departments may be applicable in these areas.

Faculty appointments and related rights will remain at the institution of original employment, with funding for faculty coming from that institution. Appointment..> of departmental chairman will be upon the recommendation of the faculty, subject to the concurrence of the chief executives of both institutions. For the purpose of administrative support (e.g., secretarial services, telephone, operating expenses, etc.), each program shall be assigned to a single institution in accordance with the pattern set forth in Recommen- • dation IV. Faculty in each institution shall have particular resonsibilty for assuring that these disciplines are responsive to the general education and other programs of their respective institutions.

That's the plan. Read it again. Think about it. If you have anything to say about it or the consolidation plans developed for other areas, circle October 22 on your calendar and speak at the hearing. This may well be the last public hearing on the future of Auraria. · If you have something to say, say it now.

Letters Re: Handicapped Awareness Week Dear Editor, We have on the campus people who resemble mosaics. In other words individuals who are trying to piece together their lives. Education is the machinery that will give them employment and confidence. I am one of the mosaic people. Twice a week or more I take RTD bus to CCD campus. My career goal is ,to be a library technician. I spend practically every Sunday doing research at the library. Except for my family and few friends, my social life is very limited. Church used to be something I really enjoyed and when my work is caught up I will enjoy Sunday services again. About two years ago I had a ganglia cyst removed from my right wrist, as a result it became weak. One of the worse fears I have is that my children or husband will become ill and I will get behind on my assignments. Sundays I usually take a sandwich, and drink water for a quick lunch as nothing is usually open on the campus. It provides a good break, but sometimes the solitude bothers me. As this (Oct. 8-12) is Handicapped Awareness Week I want to look at how I view myself and how others might, and do, see me. Being overweight is another problem I must contend with daily. Now at last they have bright attractive clothes for larger women.· Wigs in my wardrobe are an instant crown to my head.

To the Editor: I was glad to see that ARMY ROTC has established itself on campus. It provides a good opportunity for young men and women to serve their country at the same time they are pursuing their higher education. The article neglected to mention, however, that the MARINE CORPS has had an officer program on campus for many years. The Platoon Leaders Class, of which I have been a member, is available to sophomores and juniors and involves one or two summer camps prior to graduation and commissioning as second lieutenants. The Officers Candidates Class if offered to graduating seniors who are commissioned upon completion of a rigorous ten week program. I think the Marine Corps program is a very fine program and I

A small luggage carrier solves the problem of heavy books. An arm brace also makes my life easier. Before I started school my husband bought us a microwave oven. It is a wonderful help in preparing quick pieals for my family. Saturdays generally are spent over at the DU Swimming Pool, where my fouryear~old takes swimming lessons. Our eleven-year-old is in Aurpra's Gifted Child Program. . At home, over the past decade, we have acquired a large l~brary. An electric typewriter is a great aid in doing homework. On the campus I feel accepted for my abilities. Other students once in a while ask me to go out for coffee. My classmates willingly offer support and Friendship in~ide class and out. W order to help with expenses I enter contests, do free lance writing, clip coupons and shop at thrift stores. Fortunately, doing the research for my library course has provided sources of potential markets for my writing. As atways my husband is quietly doing and thinking of ways to encourage me. I am immensely gratefµl for this. Perhaps being wholesome and healthy has eluded me, b-bt my life is taking on a very intc:resting mosaic designl Slowly, very slowly, my scars are changing into stars. · Frances Washko Aurora, Colorado '

would encourage interested students to check out this optioo before they commit themselves to an ARMY commission. As a former non-commissioned officer in the MARINE CORPS I can say that life in the MARINES is always a challenge and certainly instils leader ship qualities that can help a persoq excel throu~hout life, whether they remain in the CORPS or· not. I~terested students should call Major Fulks of Captain Roose at 837-4030. They will be on campus in the Student Activities Center later this semester to talk personally with potential candidates.

News B.V.D.s Shelter from the storm after the storm is over Auraria bus riders will get an oncampus bus shelter - after the bad weather is over. • An RTD spokesman said a shelter is planned at Ninth and Lawrence Streets. The shelter was planned in August, but construction was held up pending approval by the State Building Agency, according to Dave Apodaca, construction coordinator for RTD. Tim Heydon, Auraria director of physical planning and construction, said the state approved the plan and RTD will now choose a contractor for the project. The project will probably be completed sometime in the spring, he said.

Hews Blame it (mostly} on the VA system by Sal Ruibal ;r

Due to Congressional bickering, the October checks were two weeks late for the almost two thousand MSC students receiving educational benefits under the G.l. Bill. For MSC veterans, it was just

News Analysis another slap in the face from a faceless, unconcerned federal government that cares little about the difficulties of surviving on money that more often than not is late or altogether missing in the vast 9 bureaucracy of the Veterans Administration. Almost everyone who has had contact with the VA can supply a horror story of lost checks, constantly shifting requirements and mountains of paperwork that somehow never get to where ~ they are supposed to go. Veterans are justifiably upset, and the personnel of the MSC Office of Veterans Affairs (OVA) are often on the receiving end of much of that criticism. Tom Ward, Director of the OVA, feels that their wrath is misdirected: "The ~ OVA is not the VA. We are not VA employees. We share office space with the VA rep, but our primary mandates are outreach recruitment and retention." Ward is frustrated by students who have the mistaken perception OVA employees are the cause of the many screwups in receiving educational benefits. MSC's OVA does handle certification procedures. In order for a veteran (or a dependent receiving benefits) to quality for the monthly checks, the number of credit hours they take each semester must be certified by the school they attend. Benefits are based on the number of hours a student is registered for, so certification is of primary importance. In many schools, certification is a function of the Registrar's Office. At one point in the past, MSC operated in that manner, but Ward says the job is "too complex, too difficult" to be done outside of the OVA. "Since money is involved, certification is a critical function," Ward said. The real source of the problem lies in the VA's Regional Office at the Denver Federal Center. After paperwork is comple~ed at MSC, it is forwarded to the regional office.

A recent study showed that at VA regional offices, 60 percent of staff time is spent on regulating the educational programs. Those educational programs comprise only 15 percent of the VA's financial responsibility. The result, according to Ward, is an agency that is "over-regulated." The VA has a 23 billion dollar budget and employes almost a quarter of a million persons. Their regulations do not fall under judicial scrutiny or review. Often those regulations are in direct conflict with existing legislation. "Ultimately, it's the individual student veteran that suffers," Ward said. "They continue to be victims of conflict. Many of them, the poor, the minorities that were victims of inequalities in the draft system, have become victims of the government again." Efforts by OVA personnel to change the VA mechanism have met with indifference from VA officials. After union problems erupted as a consequence of mismanagement at the regional office, the Colorado Veterans Civic Council sent a letter to VA Director Max Cleland expressing their concerns. Three months later they received a reply that Ward termed "totally inaccurate." The last straw came in June, when Cleland gave an Executive Leadership Award to the Denver Regional Director. The act was considered a slap in the face by many, especially since the recipient was considered "not at all responsive" to veterans groups. "This office makes mistakes, too,'' Ward said. "But we pursue the matter until it is resolved. We're not perfect, but we try to deal with problems." Often the only way a student can deal with a problem with the regional office is to call their Congressperson. While this does have immediate results, it adds to the confused priorities at the Federal Center. "We want them to work with us as much as we can,'' Ward said, "but often there is not solution short of the individual jumping up and down at the regional office." The long-term solution, Ward said, is the revitalization of the MSC Veterans Association. "I' ve seen it work ... they can be damn effective.'' Although the outlook is grim for those receiving G.I. Bill benefits, an understanding of where the problems really lie and what collective action can be taken·on their behalf offers a glimmer of hope.

Burt in his element · in romantic comedy by Sal Ruibal STARTING OVER. Starring Burt Reynolds, JiU Clayburgh, and Candice Bergen. Directed by Alan J. Pakula. At the Continental. In a recent Playboy interview, Burt Reynolds said, "As an actor, I haven't even scratched the surface of where I'm going ..." With the release of Starting Over, Reynolds has scratched deeper than ever before in his spotty but successful film career. Reynolds has always claimed he has been a good actor in bad ntovies, transforming dogs like Hooper and Smokey and the Bandit into commercial, if not artistic, triumphs. Starting Over is a romantic comedy about a newly divorced man who is having difficulty coping with single life. As Phil Potter, Reynolds has the meatiest role in his career and he makes the most of it. More than just a macho-mench, Reynolds does a bang-up job of portraying a man beseiged by Women's Liberation, a new job, a new city, and a new romance. Potter ends up in Boston after his wife (Candice Bergen) asks for a divorce. She is a budding Manhattan songwriter who wants to become "more than a shadow of her man." She is also having an

affair with his boss, so minus a wife and a magazine staff j9b, Potter heads out into the unknown. Under the sometimes overprotective wing of his older brother Mickey (Charles Durning), Potter joins a divorced men's workshop. Through the vehicle of the workshop, screenwriter James Brooks deftly probes the sadly humorous world of the divorced man. One evening, as Phil goes to Mickey's home for dinner, he walks behind a young woman. She suddenly turns on him and curses at him as she thinks he's a rapist. Potter stands shocked as the woman runs off into the night. Phil arrives at his brother's home only to find in their living room the woman who had turned on him at the bus stop. Her name is Marilyn (Jill Clayburgh) and she is so embarrassed by her actions that she hides beneath a quilt. The shame turns to laughter and the romantic sparks begin to fly. Despite her obvious reaction to Phil, Marilyn refuses to go out with him, citing his separation as the reason. "Call me in three of four months," she says to the bewildered Potter. After a unsettling date with a woman referred by Marilyn, Potter calls her up and demands a dinner date. Against her better sense, Marilyn agrees. From that point on, the romance

blooms. Clayburgh's character is so lovable, so sweet, that her skill as an actress is the only thing that keeps the role from becoming unbelievable. No other actress on the film scene today could have done this part as well. The interaction between Clayburgh and Reynolds is magnificent. Director Alan Pakula has done a terrific job in bringing out the best in all the film's actors, but the tender scen~s between the two lovers exceed anythmg they have

TALKING HEADS at the Rainbow Music Hall, October 13, 1979. Produced · by Feyline. When Talking Heads emerged on the East Coast several years ago, their preppy good looks and quietly deranged style set them apart from run-of-the-mill safetypin-in-the-nose New Wave acts. Led by guitarist/vocalist David Byrne, a dead ringer for Anthony Perkins in Psycho, Talking Heads steadily moved beyond in the confines of three-chord drone rock into a lilting pop style with artsy overtones. This is to be expected, as the band got it's start at the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design. The band has toured· extensively, but for the most part played to small audiences of "dedicated followers of fashion." Early in 1979, AOR stations picked · up on Talking Heads' cover version of Al continued on page 10

One, two, one, two, by S. Peter Duray-Bito

RyCooder Bop Till You Drop Ry Cooder - guitar, vocals; David Lindley - guitar; Tim Drummond - bass; Jim Keltner - drums; Milt Holland percussion; various guest artists. Warner Bros. BSK 3358 Casually strolling through the "C" section of the rock aisles, the label "Rock's First Digital Recording" certainly catches the eye. Even more interesting is the standard list price for this new and expensive recording technique. Clearly, Ry Cooder's production is a distinct, audible milestone in modern •,... music reproduction. Digital . recording means more than just counting the sonic improvements on your fingers. It is a convenient way of bypassing key parameters that deteriorate the sound when using conventional recording techniques. The dynamic range has been greatly expanded - to the tune of 90 dB. Since most conventional recordings barely eek out a 60-65 dB range, the improvement in the presence and punch of the sound is obviously apparent. The digital technique encodes the musical waveform into bits of infor. mation in the same way a computer stores ~ data. This particular recording samples the sound at a rate of 50,000 times per second, far above the limits of human hearing (typically 20,000 frequencies per second). The clincher here is. that everything the equipment picks up is · stored and is available on playback. _,, Nothing is lost through traditional distortion tolerances such as harmonic distortion or intermodulation distortion. The ~

result: you have to hear it to believe it. Until recently, digital records were produced on a limited scale for audiots (audio-idiots) who shelled out fifteen dollars a disc. With Bop Till You Drop, digital recordings seem to be available to the rest of the world. It is only a matter of time before others join the digital bandwagon that will mercifully ease distortion pains. It's not that Bop Till You Drop is perfect. The "see-through-the-mike" effect is so complete that significant errors in mike placement can be heard. Some instruments, such as bass and guitar are fed straight into the electronics, while the drums are miked from below and the singers and horns from above. In other words, you can "see" right back through the microphones so effectively that some radical modifications to present mike and mixing techniques seem necessary for the progress of digital. Musically, Ry Cooder has selected material that is essentially country-pop oriented, but with some excellent, accurate studio musicians. It seems Cooder has tried to vary his material so that the recording would have a wide appeal. All in all, this milestone is just that - a marker in the development of a new technology that will change music reproduction much the same way "stereo did.

music!

anyone who has ever found themselves in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, the situation tends to grow on you. Such is the case with this recording. Werner follows in the footsteps of David Bowie and plays a more lyrical form of "power pop." There are riffs stolen from everyone. Individually, the pieces are divergent escapades into various genres of rock and roll. The Beatles, Who, Stones, Yardbirds, John Mayall, Zeppelin and even Kansas musical styles are offered. Werner's vocals are given the usual distant, honky tone that characterizes New Wave artists. David Werner isn't really New Wave at all. He has a learned lyrical sense and the sonic peppering imparts a sense of "where did I hear that before?" Strangely, though, the overall effect of the album is pleasant. It is a highly listenable work that is musically wellexecuted and artistically sprinkled with moments of inspiration. Steely Dan Greatest Hits 1972-1978 Normally, greatest hits are developed for those who listen to nothing but top 40, are released right before Christmas and are sonic disasters. Steely Dan'-s Greatest Hits was released sometime in 1978 and contains their most popular material up to the Aja album. What makes this greatest hits stand-out, though, is the fine mastering done by Bob

SlrdyDrm ,i:mtk'l't liifs

Ludwig at Masterdisk. The cuts here are in every way equivalent to the original release or better. "Reeling In The Years" an early (1972) release, comes off a little tighter and with more definition on this recording. In addition to previously released material, Becker and Fagen have included "Here at the Western World," a pleasant little song from the Royal Scam period. To top this fine double disc (available at Independent Records for $5.97) is a brilliant cover photo by album cover specialist Pete Turner. Other interesting photos inside the album and on the sleeves makes this collection a worthy addition to any disc devotee.

The Metropolitan October 17, 1979

SOCCER "We blew it," said Coach Harry Temmer in a post-game interview after MSC's loss to DU. October 13 was a black day for the Metro team. DU shut out MSC 4-0. Three of DU's goals were scored in the first half of last Saturday's game. The third goal was scored during a confused penalty shot. The confusion was caused by two free kicks on the same penalty. One of the penalty shots was taken from the sideline and the other from in front of the MSC goalie. Between the sideline kick and the goalie kick, two MSC players touched the ball on its way to the goal. Confusing? The refs thought so too, but the goal went to DU. In the second half MSC's defense gained composure and allowed One goal.

Despite the disheartening defeat Coach Temmer said he has "high hopes for the next DU game." · MSC is ranked 2nd in the NAIA Dist. 7 conference. DU holds first place with a 3-0 record. Metro's record is 3-1. Regis is in third with a 1-2 record and Colorado School of Mines trails with a 04 record for the season. · Tivoli Field was in excellent shape for last Saturday's game. MSC meets Colorado College in their next contest Oct. 20. (See THE METROPOLITAN~ calendar for details.) .I

VOLLEYBAL'Metro State College's women's volleyball team extended their winning streak to three with a comeback victory over Colorado College on Friday, Oct. 12 at the field house. CC finished second in the league last year behind Metro.

Talking Heads continued from page 8 Green's "Take Me To The River." A later appearance on Saturday Night Live brought Byrne's bug-eyed delivery into millions of American homes. Not exactly instant stardom, but they had name recognition and album sales began to pick up. · An unfortunate result of their success has been a decline in the quality of both their recorded music and live performances. "Fear of Music" is the title of their latest album, but it could also serve as a description of their live show at the Rainbow Music Hall. Die-hard fans of the band will surely disagree, but they got what they wanted. I didn't. They got see Byrne distort his face and get very, very sweaty. What they didn't get to see was an inspired musical , performance. The much-heralded ListenUp megabucks sound system was too perfect, if that is possible. The music was mixed for someone's living room, not a concert hall. It would have sounded great on headphones, but the lack of re~listic directional qualities created a disembodied effect that affected the entire concert. Overly slick sound was not the only problem. While Byrne made goo-goo eyes and tried very hard to look s~btly sinister, the rest of the band practically yawned in the faces of the devot~es crowding around the state. They loved 1~.

leather, was right at home. While I still have a great deal of respect for the band, I can't help but be alarmed at the lack of sincerity on both sides of the stage. Who's fooling who, folks? Maybe this is just a slump brought about by too many shows and lots of pressure. Perhaps Talking Heads should go back to Rhode Island for some remedial training. If all this were not enough, the worst opening act since Mylon and the Holy Smoke dared to show up at the Rainbow before Talking Heads. The Transistors are in a class by themselves; very, very low.

Literacy continued from page 3 helping the majority of students improve their skills, but their opinions differed about whether students' literarcy levels have declined. "Society requires a person use writing as a means of expression, ~ut at the same time doesn't put a particular value on the learning/teaching experience," Saxe said. "It's easy to blame people, but I'm not sure how valuable that really is." Spradley said he has not really seen a decline in students' abilities through the years, and feels "an important part of the

decline in SAT scores can be attributed to '= the larger number of students being tested." Blansett said that, judging from the quality of class reports and term papers, the literacy level of English majors has declined over the years. She said the trend can be seen in the upper-division classes ~ as well as the lower-division. "It's not just in the schools, it's something that's pervading our whole society, and it's not even being noticed, which I find disturbing," she said.
