UCD government too ·strong?

by Joan Conrow University of Colorado at Denver students will vote on issues concerning the use of student fees and limiting the authority of their· Executive Council in a referendum tentatively scheduled Feb. 27 and 28_ Four items will be on the proposed ballot; three are Associated Students of UCD (ASUCD) constitutional changes.

Voters will determine how much dire~t participation they should have in the allocation and assessment of student fees.

They will consider establishing a process to appeal Executive Council decisions and limit the authority of the council to terminate funding of programs or organizations. The Executive Council is the most powerful faction in UCD student government.

A referendum may be initiat~d by either a student petition or at least four votes from the fivemember Executive Council, according to Mike Knipps said a petition with 1,200 signatures had been submitted. Before the referendum can be held, he said the signatures must be verified to determine if at least 1,000 of the signers are registered UCD students.

The referendum was initiated mainly because there is currently no way to appeal decisions made by the Executive Council, said Mike Maxwell, a UCD student.

He said the council has final authority on spending the

of a student senate, as proposed $121,000 student fee budget.

"There's no way to check the on the referendum ballot, would authority of these people," Max- .Provide an appeal process, and well said. ''There has to be some distribute the power of the . appeal process, some limit to their Executive Council.

Hews Westinghouse threatens isla~

by Charlotte Rath

A nuclear power plant, being built on the side of Mt. Natib, a do·r mant volcano in the Philippines, poses serious ecological and sociological problems, according to Filipino anti-nuclear activist Romeo Villanueva.

In a speech Thursday night, Jan. 24, on the Auraria campus, Villanueva said the nuclear plant is being built by Westinghouse to supply energy for the two U.S. military bases there and industries such as Exxon, Mattel, Ford, ·and Kawasaki.

However, Villanueva said the plant is only four kilometers from his hometown of Morong, where 90 percent of the people live in bamboo huts. _ To investigate allegations of corruption and the use of substandard materials, Villanueva worked as a construction worker on the plant. He learned that substandard materials were being used and the building permit for the plant was issued almost three years after construction began.

The fishing industry in the area of the plant has dropped 90 percent, Villanueva said. He explained that erosion caused by the construction has polluted the spawning grounds. of the fish.

Eventually, the entire city of Morong, with a population of 11,000, will have to be moved out of the 15 kilometer safety margin that circles the plant, Villanueva said.

Although he said that "revolution is not the answer," Villanueva would like an end to the exploitation of his people.

There is a real need, he said, to educate the people to "what is really going on."

For instance, he. said, although foreign industries in Bataan province (where the plant is located) are tax exempt, many workers at the plant receive only $1.50 per day. * Of the $500 million the country receives annually from the United States for its two U.S. military bases, Villanueva said only 22 percent goes to the people.

The government under President Marcos has grown increasingly repressive -since it assumed power in 1968. Villanueva said President Marcos recently declared military law in an effort to maintain his dictatorship.

President Marcos received an $800 million loan from the Export-Import Bank in· the United States to fund the $1.1 billion plant, Villanueva said. .

Villanueva said his group, Movement of Concerned Citizens of Bataan, must work against a government that conducts routine military raids and maintains a constant level of harassment.

Villanueva said two of the group have been shot and over fifty are now in prison. They have no contact with the outside and it is not even known if they are still alive. .

Westinghouse is now willing to change the construction of the plant to

Auraria Public Safety was alerted, the Denver Fire Department responded, and students wondered what was happening at the Emmanuel Gallery on the Auraria campus, Monday morning, Jan. 28.

What happened was nothing. Nothing to worry about, at least. - .

According to Auraria Public Safety officers at the scene, Aurar1a maintenance personnel were repairing or inspecting the fire boards of the gallery, and in so -doing, the workmen set off the fire alarm system. As a matter of course, Public Safety rushed to the alarm and the Denver ttre Department was automatically dispatched. .

Steve Dutton, Auraria Public Safety-officer, said it was simply a matter of lack of communication. If the maintenance men had notified the Public Safety office they were working on the fire alarm equipment, the incident would have been avoided.

"Details, details, "Dutton said.

Legal services cont. from page 1 Jensen also complained the only decision left to the board was whether or not services would be cut off to MSC students as a result of the fund withdrawal.

At the meeting, ASMSC President Martinez said a cutoff would be acceptable to his government.

After the session Jensen said the Legal Services 'open door' policy would not be changed.

At the board meeting, Martinez said Legal Services was not being singled out and other student services would have to be cut back to make up for the salary budget shortfall of his administration.

· /tudentby~~n ¥8'n ent Aurarians Against Nukes were alloted club support funds and the Auraria Media Center came under unofficial attack during separate Metropolitan State College student-faculty government meetings last week.

The Student Affairs Committee (SAC) voted 6-0 at its meeting Jan. 21 to approve a request from Aurarians Against Nukes for $200 to defray expenses of hosting a guest speaker for an "activist conference" in February.

Harvey Wasserman, author of Energy War, will be a principal speaker during the conference on the ~.uraria campus Feb. 9-10. According to DeWayne Ahrendt of Aurarians Against Nukes, the money allocated by the SAC will go toward travel expenses for Wasserman.

SAC guidelines allow club support funds for any officially recognized MSC club "to support political, religious, educational, sub-cultural, artistic, and social events to be of benefit to the members of the club, and the entire MSC student body."

The maximum amount allowable for a single club request is five percent of the total club support budget. The maximum annual allowable for any one club is 15% of the total club support budget. This year, the maximum for a single request is $200; the total annual allowed for a club is $600.

Other actions at the SAC meeting were mostly inactions. Voting on new bylaws was postponed until they could be revised and studied by SAC members,

cont. from page 1 ASUCD constitution the Executive Council serves as both the legislative and executive branches of student government. He said the Judicial· Board could hear appeals on Executive Council decisions, but could only make recommen. dations to the council.

Executive Council Chairman Knipps, said he agreed there should be a balance of power and an appeal route.

He said most council members agreed with him.

"We've been working on this .. . considering changes to the constitution," Knipps said. " One thing we've been looking at is the balance of power, (keeping) legislative and executive separate. We've invited all the clubs and organizations to an ICC (lnterclub Council) meeting.to discuss this."

Knipps said the Executive Council was not sure what form the appeal process should take. He said he did not think a student senate should be comprised of one representative from each recognized club or organization, as is proposed on the referendum ballot. "Why give the clubs all the power?" he said.

Knipps said a senate should be elected or appointed. He suggested the Judicial Board perform the legislative function because they are already a J>"art of the student government system.

But Maxwell said a main purpose of the referendum was to allow students a greater voice in deciding how much of their money is spent on student fees and where it goes.

"Student government spends real close to half the entire budget on themselves," Maxwell said. "They are people protecting their own friends - and their . own interests, and that's where the problem lies."

·.

Knipps said the Executive Council had "decided amongst themselves that one half of the student government should go.'' He was referring to the salaried "shadow administration," which is appointed by the Executive Council.

Maxwell said there are unfair funding procedures in the Executive Council.

He said the Women's Center and the American Engineering- Students received large amounts of funding because they had members on the Executive Council.

He said Aurarians Against Nukes (AAN) received nothing because of personality conflicts between some ·of its members and the council. He said AAN finally received $340 from the council, although they have not yet gotten the money. He said the previous council had awarded them over $4,000.

Knipps acknowledged that the Women's Center and American Engineering Students had received $6,500 and $3 ,000 respectively in funding because they had members on the Executive Council. Together, that totals at least 51 percent of funds available for UCO clubi;. · "We live in a democratic society," Knipps said. "I ran for election so the Engineers could be heard, their voice.

The engineering students got $3,000 because I was there (when the budget was made up). I told Mike Maxwell if they (AAN) would've wanted more funding, they could've run their own candidate."

Cindy Blodgett, another Executive Council member, is a member of the Women's Center.

Maxwell said he and other UCO clubs had "run into arbitrary, outrageous abuses of authority" by the Executive Council. He said the referendum could establish a higher authority., eliminating many of the present "conflicts of interest" within the UCD student government. ' .: i

Editorial Guest editorial

Libertarians: stop the draft machi"e Last summer, Students for a Libertarian Society and other groups comprising the Committee Against Registration and the Draft (CARD) successfully staged a nationwide series of anti-draft demonstrations.

In September, the House of Representatives voted down the draft registration rider on H.R. 4040, the Military Procurement bill. After lengthy debate, the House removed the registration measure from the bill, but in a move designed to placate congressional hawks directed President Carter to com.mission a study on "U.S. war· mobilization needs."

While it appeared that conscription bas been defeated, anti-draft activists realized that congressional action has merely been deferred. The effort to reactivate compulsory service was a test of the political waters, gauging the strength of the hawk's opposition and consolidating the gains made by pro-draft elements. In view of the President's call for the renewal of registration and the recent escalation of international tension, the clamor for conscription will now resume. With the advent of any real or imagined "national emergency" sparked by our excessive dependence on foreign energy ,supplies and an overextended military posture, the appeal of full-scale mobilization for Wat' may soon be irresistable.

The only way to stop the draft and remove the threat posed by draft bills still pending is to take the of-

fensive-by eliminating the machinery needed to implement it, the Selective Service System (SSS).

House Resolution 5134 has been introduced to repeal the President's power to implement mandatory registration and to totally abolish the still functioning remnants of the Selective Service apparatus. Its chief sponsor is Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) and it has received bipartisan support, including as a co-sponsor Rep. Jim Johnson (R.-Colo.). With your help we can ensure with its passage that no young person will ever again be conscripted to die on foreign soil.

As long as the state has recourse to a draft, the authorities will retain the power to suspend constitutional rights on the pretext of protecting our "national interests" whenever U.S. markets are jeopardized in countries guaranteed an endless supply of American conscripts in time of revolution or war:---While perfectly adequate to counter any dir~t invasionary threat to the U.S., the al.I-volunteer military is not suited to such quick mobilizations for foreign wars, and was never designed to support the troop levels essential for preserving global supremacy or qreams of empire.

To mobilize against the draft we must encourage every person in the nation capable of putting pen to paper to contact their congressmen and House Armed Services Committee members and blitz them with written and oral expressions of support for H.R. 5134. We

Waiting tor the RTD or a reasonable facsimile thereof

by Sal Ruibal

Thoughts on a wintry day, waiting for the bus: RTD should heat the bus stops instead of the buses.

It is obvious that the average RTD user spends more time waiting for the bus than actually riding on ii. A suitable amount of lighting should also be installed for safety. This would also enable bus drivers to determine th~t there are indeed paying customers waiting for service. Nothing is more maddening than to wait half an hour for a bus that passes you· by.

I -take that back._Nothing is more maddening than to wait the better portion of an hour at a dark, cold bus stop, only to have an RTD official pass by in a heated, tax-purchased automobile. All RTD employees and board members should be required to use the system as their primary means of transportation.

The RTD board of directors should be abolished and replaced by a series of tape recorders positioned at random RTD bus stops. They would soon discover that less time should be spent worrying about the sexual habits of RTD employees and more time spent on making the system work. .

If a bus is more than ten minutes late, regardless of the weather, patrons should be given free rides. Time is money and v.ery few people can afford.to waste it doing Popsicle impersonations at the bus stop.

When the weather gets bad and auto traffic is reduced by weak batteries, icy roads and terrible drivers, RTD should put more buses on the road. It is

cruel and unbsual punishment to force autoless taxpayers to wait in sub-zero temperatures without benefit of shelter.

This may seem minor, but for folks who use the system, every little bit counts: the poetry stinks. Nice try, but I wouldn't give a plug nickle (or an RTD token) for anything I've read on the buses. Besides, why should Colorado tax money be spent to support some fat, tweedy poet in New York when we have plenty of starving writers right here- in Denver who would write for free? Anyway, poems should be.last on the RTD list of · priorities. Give me a bus that runs on time, please.

I realize that bus drivers must answer the same questions time and time again, but we don't pay them to be rude or silent. Most drivers are courteous and thoughtful; get rid of those who aren't.

No more Catch-22s. The Wads.worth Avenue . buses, for examp!e, don't run frequently because of low ridership. No one wants to wait 45 minutes for a bus, so they find another way, usually a private auto. The ·immovable object meets the irresistable force. Everyone loses. It would be much easier to convince RTD to increase the number of runs than it would be to convince a few thousand riders to submit to the torture of waiting.

Or would it?

The whole system is in a terrible mess. Something has to be done now to make mass transit responsive to user needs before everyone goes back to tire privatepolluter system.

must expose the enormous threat the SSS poses to ~ free sodety and let those in power know that conscription must be ended-completely, permanently.

Focusing on abolishing the SSS will have the immediate effect of pressuring Congress away from even considering bringing back the draft later. If there is widespread opposition to compulsory service, returning to the draft will not be politically feasible. Should our trip-wire defense policies precipitate American involvement in a war mandating the reimposition of forced labor, an active anti-SSS movement would be ready and in place to serve as the resistance.

U.S. mobilization plans call for the immediate resumption of conscription upon the outbreak of hostilities involving the U.S.-anywhere in the world. The Selective Service System with its $8 million budget and plans for "Regional Readiness Centers" is simply a network of draft boards in waiting. It is not there to shuffle papers, conduct studies or consume tax ·dollars; it is there to draft people when Congress or the President dictates, and sooner or later it will be used to do that.

It is becoming increasingly apparent that the demands of America's global troop committments are so vast and our economic "vital interests" so numerous that they cannot be secured through voluntary action alone. Unless we succeed in permanently foreclosing conscription as a foreign policy option, some day soon, - we'll have actual inductions to face, and the bloody process of resisting them with civil disobedience will have to be gone through for the second time in just over a decade.

AHEC finalizing services merger·

~--

by Lou Chapman Last July the Auraria board of directors agreed to centrally manage several areas of non-academic "support services" that were then in the jurisdiction of one or more Auraria schools. The centralization has gone smoothly, if not exactly on schedule.

The a~eement was the result of legislation passed last year requiring streamlining within Auraria and was conducted under the auspices of the Colorado C-ommission on Higher Education (CCHE).

Support services to be managed by the Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) and originally proposed implementation dates are: • Campus-wide special events scheduling (Sept. l, 1979).

• Campus-wide identification cards (Sept. 1, 1979) •Printing (Sept. 1, 1979).

• Administrative graphics (Sept. 1, 1979).

•Job placement (ian. 23, 1980).

•Non-academic counseling (Jan. 23, 1980).

• Foreign students services (Jan. 23, 1980).

• Handicapped students services (Jan. 23, 1980).

•Veterans affairs (Jan. 23, 1980).

• Classified persorqiel (Jan. 23, 1980).

• Financial aid (July 1, 1980).

So far, the special events scheduling, campus-wide identification cards, printing, and classified personnel office have been consolidated and are managed only byAHEC. Consolidation of the others, except financial aid and veterans affairs, will be accomplished by July 1, 1980, according to a memo, dated Jan. 15, 1980, from AHEC to the CCHE and the joint budget committee of the Colorado legislature. The agreement is signed by the heads of the three Auraria institutions.

"I believe it is okay to delay further support services changes until July 1 because mid-year changes are difficult," said Jim Schoemer, assistant e··ecutive director of AHEC. "Also, we hadn"t had discussions with many of the people involved in these changes and the Auraria executives wanted that input."

Schoemer said consolidation of financial aid administration among the three colleges is being re-reviewed at the request of MSC President Donald Macintyre. The consolidation of veterans affairs offices is still being reviewed "in light of federal rules," primarily those of the Veterans Administration. The veterans affairs decision can be delayed also because no state money is involved in those programs, Schoemer said.

"But July 1 is still the date we're shooting for," he said.

Larry Ambrose is director of campus-wide special events scheduling for AHEC, Schoemer pointed out that Ambrose's role is that of a "facilitator," and will not take away any control from personnel already supervising ongoing activities in the Student Center, for example. · Schoemer said a new responsibility of the AHEC events scheduling office will be to promote use of Auraria facilities for more conferences and workshops by off-campus organizations.

Identification cards for all Auraria personnel, including all staff and students of all three institutions, .is under the direction of Roger Braun, director of the

Student Center.

The classified personnel office, providing classification, examination and employment services for AHEC, MSC, and UCO has been operated by AHEC since Jan. 1, 1980.

Printing services will transfer from MSC to AHEC on Feb. 1. The transfer includes three full-time positions and $73,322.

For the consolidation of job placement, counseling referral services, an admissions clearinghouse, foreign students services, and handicapped students services, each college administration must now decide how it will transfer its agreed funds and full-time positions to AHEC. Schoemer said he hopes to have these recommendations within two weeks. The deadline for AHEC to approve the transfers is March I. Schoemer said he hopes the Auraria board will have contract offers for the new AHEC employees effective July 1.

"They're no longer Metro people or UCO people," Schoemer said. "They'll be Auraria people just like I am.•• According to the Jan. 15 memo, the consolidation of the above five services will include 1.3 full-time employees (FTE) and $30,496 from CCO; 6.5 FTE and $144,295 from MSC; and 4.5 FTE and $100,874 from UCO. Schoemer explained that juggling can be done to achieve a balance in the trade between FTEs and the budget allocations. (For example, CCO may give up one FTE and one-third FTE in dollar amount from the budget.)

Schoemer said the major advantage of consolidation for the students is only one level of services will exist. In the past, he said, it was obvious that some services differed greatly in efficiency and expertise from one Auraria institutiqn to another.

"I can't perceive that we're going to have differential levels of service for students from different schools," Schoemer said.

The possibility does exist that a service could eventually consolidate under the management of one institution, rather than AHEC, Schoemer added.

"If the members of the Auraria Executive Committee could agree on having any one of the student services in any one school, that would be acceptable."

The job placement and part-time temporary student employment office will assist students to find permanent

Bad myths, red tape, and dance路 ,

by Lou Chapman

''I began dancing at an age when you are considered too old to even learn ballet."

Telling the tale, Carla Parks laughs.

She is now artistic director and instructor at her own studio, The Academy of Classical Ballet at Applewood, 2600 Willow Ln., Lakewood, and continues teaching ballet and modern dance at Metropolitan State College.

She had been a certified medical technologist for five years after being graduated from Stanford University with

a bachelor's degree in biology. Dancing had begun as a hobby in Utah during that period.

"I decided if I was going to work for the rest of my life, I should do something I like," Parks said.

Eventually, she was graduated from the University of Colorado with a Masters in Dance. She began teaching at MSC in the fall of 1976, and at the Denver Free University the same year.

Her own story contradicts one of the myths about dance she would like to explode:. there's an age when it is too late to start studying dance.

"I've had students in their sixties!"

Parks said. "Ballet is a marvelous outlet for them physically and emotionally.''

In her three and one-half years at MSC, Parks has initiated biannual dance performances of ballet and modern dance, and has succeeded in having a dance performance class added to the curriculum, which is part of the physical education program.

"I began the performances in the fall of 1977, after polling my classes, and discovering that about 800Jo of them wanted to perform," Parks said. "I was only meeting a student need." 路

Meeting student needs is something Parks feels the dance program at MSC is not doing. Being in the Physical Education Department, the dance classes are not thought of as an art form, she said.

"There bas to be a change in the attitude of the people that administer the program," she explained. "It has to be treated in a way that is meaningful to the student as an art.''

She said the dance performance class is an indication of this change in attitude, but it is still too little.

The dance minor offered at MSC (there is no major) comprises courses primarily involved with teaching and movement, not technique.

"Without technique," Parks said, "you have no right taking a teaching class."

The emphasis of the minor on teaching methods over technique illustrates another myth that upsets Parks: Beginning students don't need fine instructors.

It's important that a beginning student have a good foundation,'' she said.

"It sets their strengths and habits from then on."

Parks was fortunate to have studied all along with fine instructors in Utah and Denver. Her medical training has also taught her aspects of dance too many instructors never fully learn, let alone pass on to their students. Her master's thesis was "Use Qf Dance as Therapy."

Another myth: Knowledge of anatomy is inessential for teaching dance.

The 51 students she has at her newly opened academy and the more than 175 students in her MSC classes this semester learn not just what the movements should be, but why and which muscles cause the movements and how.

Parks will continue teaching at MSC, even though frustrations and limitations at the school, the lack of appreciation by the administration for dance as an art form, led her to open her own studio.

"I love being in an academic environment," she said. "I love teaching college students, and don't want to give that up."

She said she would still like to promote a dance program at MSC, but one based on technique. She admits her hopes are hamstrung by the state legislature and administrative problems.

Parks would like to organize a performing troupe to travel and present educational workshops for schools and civic organizations.

"There are all those myths I'd like to explode," she said. "For instance, even though you're never too old to start dancing, you ought to begin at about eight years old."

But as a precursor to ballet, she said the five- to eight-year-old can learn coordination, gross body control, spatfal awareness, and creative expression.

"They're not going to spend an hour at the barre," she said, "but these things teacb them nonverbal social skills and a sense of control of themselves, their emotions, and their bodies."

She would like to teach the public that a great dancer is not necessarily a good teacher, but a great teacher must be a good dancer. · "And I would like to develop a meaningful program in dance at Metro regardless of what department it's in," she added.

And she would like to explode a lot of those myths, begin teaching preschoolers about dance and coordination, and develop that program at MSC, today, if not sooner.

L.A. 's prolific output of pseudonew wave and power pop should be peaking about now. Very little of it is any good, let alone innovative. As with most other Californian trends, look for 1979/ 1980 to have the dubious distinction of being the Neo-pop years.

20120 is a group of southern California kids who take on the heavy sound of Cheap Trick, the harmonics of The Knack, and add nothing new of their own. They are out to have a good time playing at the local teen hang-out. Why they had to cut a record is something only their Hollywood producers can answer.

The playing is competent enough.

Nobody hits a wrong note and nobody misses a beat. The recording is fine, but it is the triusic tlfat is the real culprit: The hooks are unimaginative, the lyrics uninspired, and there is an overall lack of excitement. This band is going absolutely nowhere.

There is a distinction in eontemporary popular music that needs to be exposed. As more and more new wave and power pop bands appear on the scene, a watershed develops. Truly innovative bands like The Talking Heads, B-52's, The Police, and The Ramones are making significant changes to the course of modem music. Power pop, these days, is sometimes fun, rarly displays talent, and, is never new or different.

musicianship from just another copy.

Pat Metheny and Oregon both pla. formula jazz. Their recent releases contain a thread of similarity that heavily identifies their sound. Metheny makes extensive use of twelve string guitars. and is accompanied by the standard fusion back-up: various keyboards including soaring synthesizer solos, quick, thrashing drums and a funky bass line. Oregon"" is acoustically oriented with a pair of, at first, exotic instruments: the sitar and the tabla. However, once you become accustomed to Oregon's style, their overall sonic balance makes these instruments seem quite ordinary. (Besides, we were all introduced to the sitar and the tabla back. in 1967.)

But it is not the instrumentation alone that distinguishes these bands from each other. Through all the years of using just these instruments, sitar and tabla, along with more conventional guitars, upright bass and saxophone, Oregon., manages to come up with fresh, vital music that flows. Metheny, with all his high-tech electronics, just barely plods along. Again, the point here is that the difference is not in the instrumentation.

It is that vague quality of musicianship: the degree of innovation_, freshness and inspiration that a group displays in the ! performance of their arrangements.

Metheny's American Garage does contain some decent writing, evoking cont. to page 12

Since the heyday ofY2 jazz fusion, from 1971 to 1975, the genre has fallen into formulistic disarray. Blatant structure, rhythm and lead rip-offs have relegated a lot of contemporary jazz to a new low: jazz muzak. There are still many innovative artists around, but since the fusion sound has become so familiar, it is difficult to distinguish real, earnest P.A.'l'

by S. Peter Duray-Bito Broad turquoise stripes criss-cross the ceiling of Boettcher Hall. They are barely visible. The sound buffers, dangling plastic woks hanging unceremoniously from the ceiling, reflect the soft tan light bouncing off the orchestra stage.

The graceful tiers and highbacked ~- chairs are dark and quiet. Boettclier Hall is empty save for two figures standing next to a grand piano.

One of them is a piano tuner. He has the keyboard structure open, revealing neat rows of young, white ash and the piano's covering is completely off. With a hand on the rim, the other man examining the intricate interior. He is Garrick Ohlsson, a gangling six-foot pianist with a short, collegiate crop of hair, large rectangular glasses, and a recessed, yet strong chin. The two are discussing the age of the piano and_its playing charac._ teristics.

The tuner slides the keyboard structure back into the piano and, with a beckoning glance to Ohlsson, allows the pianist to sit down. Ohlsson casually glides his slender, agile fingers over the keys. He hits a key and cringes' his cheek to his eye, then looks at the tuner. He hits the key a '" few times and as the note dissipates among the deep recesses of the empty hall, the tuner finally nods in agreement.

"You fin_d them every time," he says, and goes back to work.

"I first began playing because my .,.. parents were the kind who felt it was the right thing for a boy of eight. In two weeks I was so addicted to the piano my mother would chase me outside," says Ohlsson. "I progressed at a tremendous rate, going through John Thompson's piano chor~ in a matter of months. I went to a conservatory in White Plains, ' New York, where I grew up, and it was quickly evident that they had a talented kid on their hands. When I had gone beyond their capacity to educate me, I was admitted to the Julliard School in New York City. Right off, I studied with one of the teachers from the upper division, • so even among a talented group of kids I was a very bright potential."

Ohlsson's growth continued by leaps and bounds. He graduated from Juilliard at 18 and went on to win the Busoni piano competition the same year. Two years later he won the Montre<U competition and in 1970, when he was 21, · Ohlsson became the first and only American to win the prestigious Chopin Festival in Poland.

"That was the big stepping stone.

That's when I became who I a:m; the world discovered me," says Ohlsson. ~ With 90 entrants from 30 countries, Ohlsson battled his way through three grueling weeks of intense competition.

"You can't imagine what a musical event in a country like Poland is like. It's more important than the Superbowl is here. Everybo9y is interested in it and talks about it. They follow it so much be~ cause they love Chopin."

Ohlsson was fully aware of the task at hand.

"By the time you win a few international competitions," he says, "people . know you. When I went to the Chopin, I was playing for keeps. If you don't -~ make it, it looks really bad. People say 'here is this really promising person who won here and there, but when it got to the really top level, he couldn't cut it.' The world is so competi~ve only the first

prize really means anything.'' who work at the United Nations. He was Every great artist has a turning still at the stage where he had a desire to point. It is that point where, looking do all of these things.

One evening in 1964, Ohlsson enback, they see a decision made, not necessarily overnight, but as a result of a sig- tered Carnegie Hall to see the Russian nificant event in their lives. Ohlsson was pianist Emil qilels. The hall was packed:

great pianist before. As the recital got underway, the boy from White Plains was awed. Never before had he realized how soft the soft was or how loud the loud. He had never heard such perfect articulation. Gilel's incredible physical concentration and effort completely overwhelmed Ohlsson and it triggered some serious thoughts about himself and the piano.

"I couldn't believe how much greater he was than my already successful ef- forts at playing some of the same pieces.

Sure, I was a talented kid at 15. I was giving little concerts and people would acclaim me, but I realized the ilifference between the way it has to be done and the way I was doing it. I think that's when I got most serious and my progress began to be even faster. I began to exceed the demands put on me . .That's when I really began to play for keeps."

"My repertoire is basically nineteenth century piano, because that was the heyday of the piano. Chopin, Beethoven, Brahms,'' Ohlsson lists, looking tentative. He nods. "Chopin, Beethovep and Brahms are the ones I get the biggest kick out of. I play others but perhaps not as successfully."

"For example, Mozart," he pauses and smiles. "He was a stumbling block for many years; I think I've finally gotten over him. His music is so good you can't do anything except drag it down to your own level."

He changes his posture from thoughtful attentiveness to a relaxed stretch with arms over his head.

"If you take something that is virtually perfect the way it is, how can I, with my messy, sweaty body, really help it out very much. In other words, my. instincts are too close perhaps for Mozart.

"It's a matter of understandingfinding the right transparency and finding the right likeness and learning how to be old enough and wise enough to be passive, so you don't do too much. Mozart's like seeing someone naked through a very thin lace curtain. Any imperfections really stand out. You can't hide behind Mozart."

a 15-year-old kid who was intensely interested in the piano but also involved in other dreams boys have of their future.

He was outstanding in mathematics and was keenly interested in astronomy. He was also learning languages and was fascinated by the simultaneous translators

there were even seats on the stage surrounding the piano. Everyone was eager to see Gilels, probably the finest Russian pianist of our generation. Ohlsson felt very lucky to have a seat in the first row of chairs, less than six feet from the piano. He had never been this close to a

Perhaps more than anything else, the concert pianist's life is work. Qhlsson spends six or seven months a year fouring and records for J\ngel Records. , "There's a lot. of instability and it's hard to keep relationships," . he says.

"You're alway$ in a new place and you wake up in the middle of the night and • don't know wh~re you ·are. But you get good at that like anything else. At least you don't have to makeryour own bed.

"It's easier to play more than less in terms of nerves. To play 9ne concert a year is hell because all your eggs are in one basket. It's exhausting to play twice a week but then you become more familiar with what nerves are. And you're able to cope with them better.,, If performances are the staple for a concert pianist, then reeording is their key to immortality. "A.recording is there to haunt you forever," says Ohlsson. "A live performance is like looking into a mirror, a recording is like taking a picture. Inaccuracies stick out like sore thumbs. So you end up editing out the wrong notes. But sometimes by editing out a wrong note, you edit out a part of the performance that was more inspired than the right note would have been.'' cont. to page 13

~·lll~5~~ ''Fear·and Loathing'' at $1.4 .95 '

by Sal Ruibal THE GREAT SHARK HUNT, GONZO PAPERS, VOL. I

by Hunter S. Thompson SununitBooks,1979 $14.95, hardback

''This may be the year when we finally come face to face with ourselves; finally just lay back and say it-that we are really just a nation of 220 million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns, and no qualms at all about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable. " Who the hell is Hunter S. Thompson and why is he saying those things about my country? To begin with, Thompson is "America's Quintessential Outlaw Journalist." He is also Raoul Duke, demented national sportswriter and real-life model for "Uncle Duke," a character in the Doonesbury comic strip. He once ran for sheriff of Pitkin County, Colorado on the Freak Power ticket. .. and almost won.

But above all, he is the creator and only effective practitjoner of Gonzo Journal, ism.

Gonzo Journalism is much easier to read than it is to define. It is not the classic who-what-where-when-why objective style taught in journalism school, nor is it the kind of bush-league 'new journalism' that infects most alternative news-

The Great Shark Hunt is the first volume of Thompson's collected works.

The title refers to a piece that Thompson did for Playboy magazine in 1974. The collection contains about half of Thompson's published articles and excerpts from his three books, including the alltirne drug novel, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Although the collection is a bit uneven and at times boring, the development of Thompson's style from the early National Observer features ft:> the Rolling

Stone."Fear and Loathing" series is must reading for any writer aspiring to a per4P' sonal niche in the Hall of Journalism.

The only real drawback fo this book is the price. True Gonzo fans already own the novels and have read fifty percent of the other material in Rolling Stone, so fifteen bucks is too much to pay for a bunch of 'straight' feature stories. Until. the paperback comes out, drag out your tattered copy of Fear and Loathing anci enjoy, enjoy.

papers.

Thompson does utilize the 'new journalism' technique of involving the· reader in the experience of reporting, then adds a drug-addled twist and a touch of outraged insight. It's the insight that separates Thompson from the army of hacks who think their stoned experiences at a press conference are worth reading, let alone typing.

cont. from page 11 feelings of traditional Americana, especially through Lyle Mays' underlying keyboards. Too often though, Metheny is overbearing with his twelve string and the sound is too homogenous. He tries to come off as the jazz Bruce Springsteen and any desire he may have to really stretch out suffers for it. Some of the cuts badly need lyrics. . .

Roots in the Sky is richly varied in texture and detail. True, Oregon's selection of instruments offers an endless number of possibil~ties. But even beyond that, there are well-timed chord and syncopation changes that offer the listener a surprise at every corner. And it is that quality, the ability to keep the listener's interest, that makes Oregon musically more appealing than Pat Metheny.

O.hlsson

cont. from page 11 Following his concerts last Jan. 17, 19 and 20 with the Denver· Symphony,

Ohlsson went on. to the next city, met the conductor, inspected the piano and played to enthusiastic audiences. He sees himself, doing more of this for some time to come.

"I think a performer's goal is to have enough success to play what you want to play, where you want to play, when you want to play. It would be nice to have enough clout to be able to dictate your own terms. The only way to get there is when your name on a poster sells out the house. Like Pavarotti, the tenor.

You put his name on anywhere and you've got a sold-out house. I may get there, I may not. That's not a rational expectation. There are very few names

like that in any generation.

"In some respects, I'm still discovering what I can do. Physiologically, of course, I'm on the decline, like all men are after 19. But you don't begin to notice that with a pianist until about the sixties or seventies. I know my body cannot do in sheer endurance what it used to do or my memory is not as intuitively quick as it used to be. But I memorize much quicker and I play with more power and brilliance. I know more consciously what I am doing and so it is more refined.

"I don't waste energy like I used to.

When I was 18, I wasted energy like crazy.''

Denver will be released nationwide

by Times Books Feb. 5, one day after its MSC release. In addition, Fawcett ~ Publications will release a Dunning paperback, Looking for Ginger North, at the same time.

A successful free-lance writer, D1:1nning has taught for the MSC journalism -department. He also hosts a weekly oldtime radio show on Denver station - KADX. Denver is his fifth book to be ' published and he is working on the next, which will also be published by Times Books.

Dunning's encyclopedia of old-time radio shows, Tune in Yesterday, is the only book of its kind, has become a stan.,.. dard reference work in many 41Public libraries, and is now available in paperback. His first novel, The Holland Suggestions, was published in 1975 by Bobbs-Merrill and another, tentatively titled Death Warrant has been bought by Fawcett Publications.

Denver is a fictionalized treatment of the newspaper business in Denver during the 1920s, but is based on true · history and actual characters. It was a period when the Ku Klux Klan permeated every aspect of society in Colorado, including the courts and political system.

His next book will be a novel about • four years of the Civil War during which Charleston, S.C., was blockaded and literally strangled to death.

Colorado College had to cope with blizzard conditions and an uncooperative vehicle in making the trip to Denver. A broken water pump in one of CC's vans stranded the Tigers in Castle Rock for over an hour and nearly forced them to forfeit the meet. As it was, the match started ninety minutes late.

"I'm real enthused," Temmer said.

"Girls in the metro area are coming to MSC because of the soccer thing ... I think we'll be real competitive."

Last year the team had "about a 50150 season," Temmer said.

Temmer also said MSC is offering

athletic scholarships to women for soccer.

"We are the only college in the country, that I know of, that is offering soccer scholarships for women," Temmer said.
