The born-again brewery

,~ Deteriorating Tivoli to be restored· I _..,

by Frank Mullen

The Auraria Board last week· narrowed the field of prospective Tivoli developers to a Dallas firm which wants to turn the historic brewery into an "arts and crafts center" and a subsidiary of a Canadian firm which proposes to transform the buildings into a modern shopping and entertainment complex. Five companies were interested in developing -the site and the ~ Board's Tivoli Sub-committee met with representatives from each of the groups Sept. 5. The final selection will be made within 30 days. ''The committee selected two groups who seem to have a better ~ financial · base and a higher likelihood of successful development,'' Dan Paulien, Auraria director of facilities planning and utilization, told the Board Sept. 10. "We have requested more in* formation from each of the groups and the committee may want to meet with them one more time." James Coker, Walter K;oelbel and William Burrow are businessmen from Denver and --< Dallas. The group wants to devote the interior of the Tivoli into a center for artists, craftsmen, and art galleries. Coker put togethei a

by Karen Breslin Students who seek help from Auraria's Legal Service will now be able Jp consult an attorney about their legal hassles. The Legal Services office, a free student service, has expanded its operations by hiring a lawyer on a parttime basis. The new addition to the staff is Denver Attorney Donald Musselman. Musselman came to the campus after ~orking with area law firms, where he concentrated on civil law. The Auraria position permits Musselman to work as an attorney while attending UCO graduate school. He said the position should help broaden his legal experience. . Though new to the job, Musselman 1tas some definite thoughts on the direction of the program. The function of legal services, he said, is to "help students identify their problems and advise them of their alternatives.'' Musselman's involvement will often be indirect. In some cases he will refer ~dents to other attorneys when he cannot take additional cases. He hopes to

educate his clients, and other students, of their legal rights and obligations. Students' legal problems, he said, can often be settled out of court or in a small claims court. He will instruct students on out-ofcourt settlements and srµall claims court appearances. · He is enthusiastic about the potential of the legal services program. The staff now consist of Musselman and director Sally West, but they hope to bring in paralegal students to help out with the load. Musselman would like students to be aware of their existence and their capacity to help. ''No case is too small,'' he said, and "we won't turn anybody away." · The year-old program is funded primarily by University ·o f Colorado at Denver student fees , This year a small percen- ~ tage of Metropolitan State College ~ student fees have been added to the fun- :§ ding, making it possible for the service to U'L,..,..-..-.....,...,..~~~~~----_..,....., hire an attorney.

The celebration will commemorate both the Grito de Delores (The Cry of· Delores) on September 16 and ·the ten · years that have passed since Denver hosted the first·national Chicano Youth Conference in 1969. Delegates to the 1969 conference agreed that on September 16 Chicano students would walk out of their classrooms to bring nation-wide attention to the plight of the Chicano. This year tll'e walk-out will take place on September 14. Chicano organizations from both Colorado and Wyoming will join the students in a march from various city parks to the downtown rally center. Denver activist Rudolfo "Corky" Gonzales will be the featured speaker at the State Capitol. The action will move to the T1vob Field at Auraria that evening at 6 p.m. for a festival featuring food, games and a carnival. · For the next two days, Tivoli will the focal point of activities, including folk ballet, theater and a raffle. .

BOard resurrects UCD snackbar

~1--''--~~b-y_S_t_ev_e_Ra~a-be~~~----.

The Auraria Board of Directors, after heavy student pressure, approved a proposal to reopen the financially troubled University of Colorado at Denver snackbar. - · Under the new plan, the State Department. of Social Services will assume control of the snackbar, and through a special state program for the blind, will appoint a visually impaired person to manage food service operations. ·>- An alternative plan considered by the Board to install vendiiw machines in place of the snackbar service was rejected after the threat of a student boycott, UCO student government officials said. ''The vending machine people (Manning's) had already been in to mea4'U'e spaces for the machines," said Linda Jensen, student representative on the Auraria Board. Jensen felt the threat of the boycott was effective because of the numerous restaurant facilities close to the Uct> East Classroom building. The Board ordered the closure of the ~ackbar .because of a reported $15,000 d~ficit incurred last year. In addition to

high maintenance and janitorial costs, the shortfall was due largely to the more than $34,000 in yearly salaries paid to the three state employees who manned the cafeteria. Je11sen said. . The new snackbar ~er, Richard Cheeseman, will hire five or six students 1 to work in part-time capacities. This action will significantly cut overhead expenses for the snackbar, Cheeseman said. Cheeseman will pay $10,000 yearly fee to Auraria for rent, maintenance, and janitorial services. In addition, he will pay the Vending Facilities Program of the Social Services Department 3 percent of the snackbar's gross income. "I feel this will be a good deal not only for the students, but for me also,'' Cheeseman said. "I've found student personnel to be more intelligent and work more efficiently." Cheeseman will retain any profits after expenses are met. He said the Department of Social Serv.ices will pay for remodeling of the snackbar later in the year. "Obviously, I wouldn't be going into this if I didn't think a profit could be made,'' he said. "I feel we can tum it around with better !=fficiency and the

salary differences." The reopening should occur near the end of September according to Roger Braun, director of the Auraria Student Center. Final contract negotiations must be approved by the Auraria Board and the state Attorney General•s office. "We anticipate either a slight or no reduction in the snackbar service," Braun said. He expects prices to be comparable to those at the Student Center cafeteria. Braun said there was "some risk" of legal action from the former snackbar employees who felt they were unfairly dismissed in order to hire lower paid students. But he added that he felt "fairly secure" because the new plan is being organized through the State Department of Social Services. Bill Orr, an official of the Colorado Association of Public Employees (CAPE), felt the dismissals were unfair, but apparently not in violation of any laws. All three former snackbar employees have been relocated within the state personnel system.

-Hews the student Mignon Murphy

The high and rising cost of health care-you see specials about it on TV, read about it in your newspaper and experience it yourself as the bills arrive in the mail. The causes are multiple; the solutions complex. Health care insurance is one of the factors in this complicated issue. While some experts implicate health insurance as one of the demons driving up costs for the consumer, it still remains a protection against the financial devastation of unpredictable illness or ac. cident. All full time (10 hours or more) Metropolitan State College students, unless they have waived the insurance because of other coverage, are covered each semester by a health insurance plan. Uetails ot this coverage are available in a brochure which is distributed at the MSC Student Health Service - or can be ordered calling 629-2525. Many students pay needlessly for bills the health insurance covers because they are unaware of the policy's benefits. Filing an insurance claim can be a complicated procedure. . Questions may policy number? Am arise t;.ke: What is I covered over semester breaks? Will I be covered on my vacation out of the country? Are office visits covered? Will my vasectomy be covered? All of these an-

swers and additional help in completing the claim form may be obtained at the Student Health Service. Each full time student pays the $16.75 health insurance cost out of the student service fees paid with tuition. This money goes to the insurance comapny, Southland Life of Dallas, Texas and coverage begins the first day of cl~ses. Claims, however, are processed through the Student Health Service, which acts as a liaison for the student. The following are some of the questions most asked by students about their insurance: Question: If I'm not a full time Metropolitan State College student, can I purchase the insurance coverage? Answer: Any MSC student carrying 6-9 credit hours may purchase the insurance. It must be done during the first four weeks of each semester at the Business Office. Deadline for this fall is October 1. CCD students may use the CCD Health Service located across the room from the MSC desk. CCD has an insurance plan which students may sign up for on a volunteer basis. UCD students have no health care available on the Auraria campus. They may use the University's clinic in Boulder for a fee. · Question: May I sign up my child for health insurance? Answer: Any MSC student who carries 6 or more credit hours and ·has the insurance coverage may sign up for optional dependent coverage for children and/or a spouse. Again, this must be done during the first four weeks of each semester.

Mignon Murphy is the chief administrative clerk and insurance coordinator for the Metropolitan State College Student Health Service. "The Student Body" is a monthly column written by Health Service volunteers and published as a service to the Auraria . . community,.

Imagine 'a four credit course that lasts only 11 days, but which exposes the students to places, people and lifestyles they have never known before. The program sends the participants into areas of the city they may have passed by, but have never entered. · The course, Urban Interface, is an offering of the Metropolitan State College departments of history and philosophy. It is the brainchild of Charles Angeletti, an MSC history professor. Angeletti based the course on the type of experiential training which was given to Vista volunteers. The MSC version is more structured, he said, and the students are required not only to experience but to apply t heir knowledge and reach their own conclusions about what they have seen and done. Students enrolled in the Interface program spend one day in a small Colorado town and spend five days and four nights in the inner city of Denver. Students are given $1 per day and required to visit several areas of the city - including Skid Row, the West Side Chicano community, Capitol Hill and the predominantly black neighborhoods of

the Five Points Area. "It is not a survival course," said Angeletti. "Although surviving on th-. streets is part of it .... The course is an at. tempt to humanize education and encourage students to become active participants in a learning environment." The Interface staff is composed of people from several backgrounds and lifestyles. The staff meets the student pa;.. ticipants daily at several locations' . throughout the city for "feedback" sessions. The purpose of the course, one staff member said, is to shake some of the l_ong-held beliefs the students may hold about the city and its people. Loren Watson, former leader of t~ Denver Black Panthers and now an Inter:. ·face staff manber' said he considers the course "the closest college level attempt to reach reality." ''The course gives people just a brief touch of the reality of the streets," Watson said. "But maybe sometime in the future that brief touch will be all the pe?son needs." Angeletti said the program still has four student positions open for the fall semester. Interested students may call him for further details and the ct)urse number at 629-3114, or 321-3815.

Aging seminar: bridging the ..pp"

Imagine the Denver Public Library having a sale of over 70,000 books and selling each of them for only fifty cents. "It's going to be the biggest book sale in Denver,'' said Sue Swanson chairperson of the Friends of the Denve; ~blic Library, which will sponsor its annual book sale Friday and Saturday, September 14 and 15, in the parking lot of the central Denver Public Library, 1357 Broadway. The 70,000 books will be sold Friday between noon and 6 p.m. and from 10 J.m. until 5 p.m. Saturday. The proceeds ' of the sale are channeled into the library· system to help purchase materials and fund special projects. The proceeds from last year's sale, which lasted only one day and netted over $8,000, is helping to fund an oral history project being sponsored by the Friends ~program. The project is recording the work of Colorado artists who worked for the Works Progress Administration (part . of F.D.R.'s New Deal) in the 1930s. The project is based in the Western History . Department of the central library. Although no goal has been set for >this year, the Friends of the Denver Public Library would like io at least double last year's income. The supply of books for sale will be continuously restocked during the two day event. "It is perfect for everyone who enjoys reading and discovering some real ,._treasures," Swanson said. Should it rain, the gigantic sale will be rescheduled for the next Friday and Saturday, September 21 and 22, at the same times and locations. u

Guilt between the generations, strategies for coping with change, and exploring compatible roles in the family are some of the topics to be discussed during a wQrkshop session offered September 22 by Saint Joseph's · Hospital and Metropolitan State CoUege Learning for Living program. · The workshop, entitled "You and Your Aging Parents - Positive Bridges Across the Generation Gap," will be hosted by Dr. Arthur N. Schwartz, senior staff associate of the Andrus Gerontology Center of the University of Southern California, is the author of Survival Handbook for Children of Aging Parents.

Harve·y 's biori~iculous triple high~ by Frank Mullen

-·

80 Harvey was feeling poorly. It was, he said, one of those days when hejust couldn't do anything right. "Maybe i('s your biorhythms,'' a friend tofd him. 70 He did not know what biorhythms were, so his friend showed him how to compute his own through use of the charts currently appearing in the Rocky Mountain News. Sure enough, when Harvey finished adding up the figures and checking them against the chart, the results showed two "lows" and a "critical." Harvey was impressed by the Delphic oracle -0f the newsprint. He was glad his intellectual, physical and emotional state could be predicted by a pseudo-scientific process. In the past he had scoffed at astrology and laughed at tea leaves but soon he believed in biorhythms the way a 17th Century Calvinist believed in predestination. Every morning Harvey would check the newspaper to see if he should leave the house or not. "I ain't going nowhe:re,'' he said whenever a "crit40 ical" appeared or the "fowsr. cropped up on his chart. "This biorhythm stuff is not to be fooled with." Harvey's employers did not share his enthusiasm for prophecy. After Harvery called in sick three times in 30 one week, his boss called to fire him. Harvey did not know he was fired.right away because he refused to get out of bed to answer the phone that day; he was on a tri20 ple critical. "I'm not even going to risk going out of the house or getting out of bed," he said. "You have got to be cramental ability" and "accept challenges." zy to tempt fate when you are on a triple critical." Harvey celebrated his elevated state by jogging A few days later Harvey, now unemployed, was . through Washington Park. He-brought along a book of dancing on his porch shortly after the newsboy delivered poetry to read when he rested and to impress any females who might wander by. the paper. This was the day he had been waiting for. Nothing could stop him now. He was on a triple high. Harvey was jogging along faster than ever before, "Top pay for hard work," his chart read. "Elevated reading his poetry and feeling emotionally stable, when

•

he was run down by a-nun driving a Subaru. They were loading him into the ambulance when he grabbed the sleeve of a paramedic and gasped, ''the number, the number." "The license number?" the medic asked. "No,'' Harvey croaked. "Her birth date. I'll bet"' anything she was on a triple critical."

Workshop goal: employment by Cindy Pacheco

Here's your chance to get involved and prepare yourself for future employment (whether you graduate this year or four years from now) by becoming involved in a creative program that works for full employment. Some areas of discussion that will be covered within a three day period are: • Renewing and reaffirming the control of public decision on policies for full employment; • How new jobs have been and will be constructed to aid in solving community and environmental problems; • How solar energy creates jobs, solves future energy problems, and is put down by skeptical government officials because of cost; • How our political democracy and personal liberation are becoming a thing of the past because of the

control money has on each of our lives. Money is a major factor controlling political persuasion by the elite; . • How to begin and continue to solve the problems of full employment, co·m munity and environmental problems, and how to get power and freedom back to the people. Interested? Sessions are from 12 noon to l p.m. September 17, 19 & 21 (M-W-F) in meeting room no. 2 at the St. Francis Interfaith Center on campus. Roger Kahn, Director of the Colorado Coalition for Full Employment, and other meinbers of the staff and board of the Coalition will be discussing these issues and answering questions. They will be open for new ideas, so if you can't make all three sessions, make at least one and get to know the people who are concerned about your future and your child's; not about the monetary or political power of the elite.

Snoopy re.p l·aCed by Kliban /

by Sal Ruibal

I-

Societies have always been judged by the symbols they keep. After considering the symbols evident on campus this semester, I shudder to think of the stern judgement history will envitably make on the late Seventies. I offer the foll9wing examples: . The Kliban Cat - "Snoopy is dead! Long live the Cat!" The long and tortuous reign of Snoopy had ended more than two years ago, ~but' no suitable successor could be found. For more than a decade, the infamous beagle had dominated the real w•d of American Art: T-shirts, coffee mugs, casual stationery, and bathroom fixtures. Snoopy is also credited with making a quantum leap into the junk-food field. A tough act to follow for any symbol. There had been pretenders to the throne. The death of Elvis spawned a brief renaissance in the manufacture of black velvet paintings, but the idea never really got rolling outside of Cuidad Truijillo. Stqr Wars got the cash registers salivating ~< a ~

while, but the furor died before the R2D2 wallpaper was even dry. The Kliban Cat utilizes the graphic simplicity of Snoopy, but adds a strong dose of modern urban neurotic thought. The Cat is not restricted to a single physical form, but maintains a single personality. The Cat is also fond of mice. An important cultural shift has been brought about by the Kliban Cat. Public sympathies have always been on the side of the mouse in the classic cat-mouse conflict. Today, the Kliban Cat's iin-purr-ialistic designs on mice are not only tolerated, they are applauded. This is a sure sign of growing support for Fascist principles. Jogging Shorts - The decline of Breast Obsession in Western Man has resulted in a spiritual vacuum. There is something instinctual about two creamy mounds of flesh peeking out from taut cloth. The jogging shorts merely turned cleavage upside-down.

·The Platte's "green and clean" I'

Clockwise-above: bridges float away in event offlooding; electrical generating plant dams water, but provides water slide (left) for boaters; catching fish keeps neighborhood kids busy; skaters have ten miles to go; Confluence Park is a haven for rafters and tubers; Bronco Bridge; nice place for a tan.

by Lou Chapman

Denver's most unique, largest, but probably least known park is open for activity. The Greenway, 400 acres of park land along ten miles of the Platte River through Denver, was finally linked together this summer to provide opportunities for biking and strolling, boating, kayaking, and canoeing, picnicking, and relaxing. The project consists of 15 neighborhood and city-wide parks from Evans to 54th Avenue. This development of open space along the Platte is a response to the deterioration of the Platte, which had become a dumping ground for Denver's wastes; its banks were crowded with junk yards, dilapidated buildings, utility lines, freeways and railroads. The improvements include numerous riverfront parks, playgrounds, outdoor gathering spots, boating facilities, and nature exhibits, all linked by a concrete hike/bike trail and boating course extending from city limit to city limit. The river itself has been cleaned and is continuously monitored by the Greenway Foundation in cooperation with the.Environmental Protection Agency and local health agencies. The cost of the program to date has been about $10 million. Funds for the park first came from the City, which provided $2 million for the Platte River Develooment Committee (organized in June 1974 by Mayor Bill McNichols and chaired by then-Senator Joe Shoemaker). This money financed three pilot projects, including Confluence Park, where Cherry Creek joins the Platte River near 15th Street (by Forney's Museum). Confluence Park includes a riverfront plaza, natural grass amphitheater, and the nation's first man-made, urban whitewater run. The Committee and its affiliate the Greenway Foundation, proved' the overlooked potential of the Platte River and in the next five years parlayed the initial seed money into over $10 million. Contributions came from the City of Denver (through the Mayor's Revenue Sharing Fund, City Council Match Appropriations, and the Capital Imorovement Fund); the State of Colorado including a controversial contribution of $100,000 in 1976 from Auraria General Revenue Funds); the federal government including Land and Water Conservaton funds, tbe Highway Urban Systems

- Fund, and the Local Public Works Employment Act; and over $1,000,000 was donated by private firms! including the Gates, Boettcher and Fishback foundations, Pepsi Cola, First National Bank of Denver, and Columbia Savings. Work on the park system involved burying tons of rubble along the river banks, relocating trails and reshaping waterways, relocating a State highway maintenance yard, removing junk cars piled s~ stories ~gh, and landscaping on a massive and varied scale. The work included assistance from: Denver Parks Department, Highway Division•. Public .Ser:vice Company, l!r- _ ban Dramage Dtstnct, and several mdustries located along the Pla~te J?v~r. The Greenway Foundation ts m the midst of a $1.8 million fund-raising drive to support basic completion of the park system. This will involve further installment of bridges, play structures, picnic equipment, and safety and user-orientation signs; more landscaping and irrigation; and provide for comfort · stations and an exhibit center at Habitat Park near Exposition Avenue. Some of the major aspects of the

The Metropolitan September 12, 1979

Greenway are: • Overland Pond, Florida Avenue and the Platte River, is a reshaped lake split and developed to form a duck pond. When. fully developed, this area will feature natural grasses and shrubs. It is _ easily accessible by car. • Habitat Park, at Exposition Avenue, will eventually become ·an outdoor classroom featuring examples of Colorado's native ecological zones. The park already offers one of Denver's finest _waterfowl communities with a fairly inaccessible island . isolated by the ;,a freeway. Current wildlife include Canada geese, pintail duck, killdeer, and herons. The west bank of the park is accessible from -Santa Fe Avenue, and is fairly quiet; the sound of the river is, for a change, not muted by the sounds of traffic. ~ • Frog Hollow, near 6th Avenue, provides a put-in point for five miles of continuous boating along the Platte, and also features a mini-rest stop with a drinking fountain. • Wier Gulch Park, just south of 8th Avenue and Santa Fe Drive, includes a f-

naturally landscaped park area with play structures, and an architectural concrete passage (under the railroad tracks bordering the river) which also serves as a boatway. This park is the location of one of several murals which have been painted on wall space along the Platte provided by local industries. • Zuni Water Chute, $Outh of Colfax, is a darn erected by Public Service Company to impound cooling water necessary for generating electricity: However, it is made of an inflatable fabric tube which rises and falls with the . flow of the river and has attached to it a chute which acts like a giant water-slide to carry boaters downstream into a series of pools and then on down the river. Novices and tubers can portage around the chute from a boat landing at 13th Avenue. • Centennial Park, on the west bank of the river south of Speer Boulevard, was once one of the city's worst eyesores: a car-shredding operation. Now, the junk operation has been relocated and the six-acre plot is available from the C&S Railroad. Eventually, the:ipark will offer recreational facilities such as slowpitch baseball, tennis, and a cycling and biking trail along the east bank extending from Confluence Park to the Bronco Bridge~ creating a 2-rnile loop ideal for downtown noontime joggers. • Confluence Park, the original rendevous point for Denver's settlers (where the Platte meets Cherry Creek under the 15th Street viaduct) is the most attractive of the points directly on the river banks, and is easily accessible if one knows the layout of streets in the area of Forney Museum. Confluence Park offers facilities for picnicking, has a bpat put-in point, and connects with trails along Cherry Creek. · Other innovative features of the Greenway include pe~estrian bridges 0 manufactured from glu-laminated ffi Douglas Fir and designed to float away ' from their center piers in the event of ~ flooding; use of indigenous landscaping '2 for both educational and practical pur- ~ poses; a drip irrigation system, at the 6th ~ Avenue Park, which consists of small en tubes which carry water one drop at a time directly to the roots of the trees; plans to interconnect tributaries of the Platte such as Weir Gulch and Lakewood Gulch to create a continuous loop of park area from the core of the city to its outlying areas and then around the city. ' When completed, the Greenway will offer a 100-mile regional network of· commuter and recreational trails to the area's activity and employment centers, with the main artery traversing the heart of Denver.

You can eat organic here; ask the waitress with the bean sprouts in her ear. You are likely to see almost anything entertainment-wise at Nepenthes. Many excellent musicians with a range in forms from beatnik to classical chamber music play for tips and the fun. You are also likely to see anything from mime to poetry.

Zep on top as decade endS by Emerson Schwartzkopf

.....

Like it or not, the album-cum-event of 1979 is Led Zeppelin's In Through The Oui Door. Through a -combination. of some deft promotion and a lack of new material from the band for three years, Jn Through The Out Door is no.w the most played, most wanted, best selling, record _ in the United States. . An actual step-by-step review of the album would be a waste of time and energy - one voice for or against Led Zeppelin would b.e small against the album's sales charts or air time. What is important, however, is a look at In Through The Out Door's place in Led Zeppelin's career ... and the rock world as well. In historical perspective, In Through The Out Door is the album by the leading rock group at the end of this particular decade. After the death of Keith Moon and a soinewhat less-than dynamic 1979 album (Who Are You), The Who are in a state of flux; and the only other supergroup of the Seventies -' the Rolling Stones - are continually eonsumed by the carniverous appetite of Mick Jagger's Camille-like persona. So Led Zeppelin ends the Seventies as rock's leading group, much as The Beatles ended the Sixties as the reigning kings. In comparision, In Through The Out Door takes the importance this year in rock as Abbey Road did in 1969. Both mark the end of a decade, summing up the progression of mainstream rock music and recording technique. With Abbey Road, The Beatles · showed the progression of music in the Sixties: the extension of songs over the 2 minute, 5 , second barrier ("She's So Heavy"); a heavy emphasis on distortion ("Come Together"); a blending of electronic sounds and acoustical instruments in a harmonious sound ("Here Comes The Sun"); and the fusing of different tunes and tempos together into a larger work (most of Abbey Road's side two). Technically, Abbey Road showed the emphasis in the Sixties moved to studio artistry instead of reproductions of performance; detailed mixing techniques; and a more balanced sound coming from the phonographic playback. As it showed great advances, however, Abbey Road did little to influence the music of the Seventies. The splintering of The Beatles helped to make the album more of a historical pieee, but other albums showed the transition into the music of the Seventies, such as 'the Rolling Stones', sometimes countryfied, Let It Bleed, and ... Led Zeppelin, with its heavy metal overtones and harddriving Chicago Blues influences.

In Through The Out Door looks very much like the Abbey Road of the Seventies. The new Led Zeppelin album is a paragon of Seventies' recording mastery; style contrast, and mass marketing. And yet, the newest album by the world's leading rock and roll band may provide no influence to the rock world. In Through The Out Door is an excellent album, and will probably stand as the best album of 1979 ... and one of Led Zeppelin's best works. In Through The Out Door is an extension of tlte exper- . mentation the group tried on Physical Graffiti with such songs as "Kashmir," "In The Light," "Down By The Seaside," and "Ten Years Gone." All the songs on In Through The Out Door (with the exception on the countrytinged "Hot Dog") contipue fhe tradition of hard beat, ringing guitar, and piercing high notes Led Zeppelih used to get their way to the top of the rock world. The booming "In The Evening" and "Southbound Saurez" are counter- In Through The Out Door is excellent pointed by "Carouselambra," an in- music, but it sets no e~ples or starts teresting conceptual work with three ab- any trends. With albums like this - no solute changes in mood and tempo, and matter how excellent - the group will "I'm Gonna Crawl," with an old blues progress within only its own world, and tempo mixed with little bit of English the mainstream emphasis or rock will music hall arrangement. elsewhere. Jimmy Page's sharp guitar lines turn The point is simple - for an inthroughout In Through The Ou{ Door dication of the future of rock music, the are complemented by a more percussive may be pointed by The Knack, Van piano and simple bass work from John way Halen, The Cars, Talking Heads, or some Paul Jones, the usual screaming vocals by other group now surfacing on the rock Robert Plant, and well-recorded sharp drumming by John Bonham. . The synthesizer work, though, is the distressing part of the album, with good accentuation (as on "Caiouselambra")·in one place, and sound of syrupy goo ("All My Love," "I'm Gonna Crawl") in oth~r spots. The single most distressing thing about In Through The Out Door, however' is the lack of identity with other forces in the rock music world of 1979. The music is a progression for Led ·z eppelin, which is fine artistically; the rest of the rock music scene will listen, take notice; and then leave In Through The out Door and Led Zeppelin to themselves. · For, while being the world's leading rock group, · Led Zeppelin has no real musical disciples, save for the Pasadena princes of .American hard rock - Van Halen. Even Van Halen, though, has shown a turn towards more of a upbeat "pop" sound in Van Halen II. The result is the leading rock group out on a track by themselves. No .one else does it like Led Zeppelin, and this fact may lead to the group's eventual decline.

scene. The second album by The Knack · may tell us more about where rock music is headed than Led Zeppelin's eighth original work. But, for now, Led Zeppelin is still the number one rock group, and In Through The Out Door is the number one album. The 1980s will show whether both will be the way of the future, or yet another twilight of the gods· in rock and roll. For now, enjg~ '
