Dean Schenck returns·to tea-ching I

by Joan Conrow

Reorganization in the Student Affairs branch of MSC Administration will probably relegate a dean to a faculty position. Edward Schenck, dean of Student Services, said he will take a year-long sabbatical and return as an assistant professor of English in September 1981. • Although the transfer has no~ been formally approved, Schenck said he "ex_.pects it will be." "The change was made for me," Schenck said June 4. "It seeins Dr. (Antonio) Esquivel, the incoming vice president of Student Affairs, is reorgan1- izing. In the reorganization, he wants an assistant with a terminal degree and that position would assume the responsibilities of the dean of Student Services." Esquivel, who will replace Robert Thompson on July 1, said he has some S.. tentative plans for reorganization which will be defined completely by the time he takes office. , Schenck, who holds a master's degree in English, said pe has "no problems" with being moved to a faculty position, even though the change was not 1 his idea. He said he has not spoken to Esquivel about the reorganization and was told of the elimination of his position ~

Mcintyre said he and Esquivel have discussed the possibility of a· Student Affairs assistant whose responsibilities "would go far beyond the present duties of Dean Schenck." Schenck was notified the position of dean of Student Services would be terminated on June 30, 1980 to give Esquivel "the flexibility to reorganize any way he wishes," Mcintyre said. · "The college has the option of reassigning Dean Schenck to any number of positions," Mcintyre said. "At the present time it seemed most viable to move him ro a faculty position within the English department. It is not' all nailed down. His options may change·. '' Although he has six years of teaching experience, Schenck said he was originally hired at MSC as director of Placement and then became dean of Student Services, a position he has held for eight years. "I thought maybe I'd want to go back to the classroom," Schenck said. "It was always in the back of my mind, just like wanting to go to the moon; I guess that's always in the back of my mind." Schenck said there will be a slight change in his salary, but "money is not a factor" with him.

"There's still a lot of work to be done," McCarthy said. Terms of the lease are a minimum rent increasing over five years with the first year's rent $48,000.

Nlalnutritionplagues too many students j >

by Joan Conrow

Everybody has heard of square meals and the four main food groupsthose concepts were introduced in elementary school, right? Not so, said Jean Downing, a Nurse Practitioner at the MSC Student Health • Center. She said many of the students who use the center have poor dietary habits, and their health is often suffering because of it. Downing believes a balanced diet and exercise are essential to good health. She said the medical profession is becoming increasingly aware of the ef,. fects of good nutrition on health. "Many acute and/or chronic illnesses can be linked to nutrition," Downing said, "such as diab~tes, high blood pressure, anemia and atherosclerosis. I think when your body ._isn't properly in tune you are much more prone to acute and chronic infe~tion. I do think nutrition is even more important than exercise." Downing said the practitioners at the health center are nutrition and wellness oriented and often discover poor eating habits are at the root of a patient's ,s.. ailments. "Students come in with t:omplaints of dizziness, headache and fatigue," Downing said. "I always ask them about their habits: smoking, alcohol, drugs, nutrition exercise and sleep. I find many of them' really abuse their bodies# nutritional abuse." Many students do not eat breakfast, Downing said, or they have only "a cup of coffee and a doughnut and then wonder why they have a headache." "If you plan on being bright and feeling pretty good, you need to eat something before you go to class," Downing said. "It should include protein and whole grains." · Those who leave home with an empty stomach are not the o~y ones "'.ho may have poor eating habits, Dowmng r" said. There are quite a few vegetarians attending MSC, yet many ''have not taken the time to educate themselves to eat properly and get enough. protein." ~he always asks if a person is a vegetanan when testing for anemia. "The problem with inadequate nutrition is that you don't always see its effects immediately,'' Downing said. Obesity is another condition pirectly related to nutrition, and Downing has seen much of it during her two years at the health center. She said the staff does a lot of diet counseling. _. "Many times overweight pa~ients are 'eating the wrong things:, or J.u st .too much '' Downing said. Obesity ts a seriou's health problem. It is one of the three major health problems in the country." . Downing said ignorance, convemen" ence and habit prompt people to snack on candy bars and soda pop. Many of the students she sees are not aware of the importance of a balanced diet and do not know the foundations of adequate nutrition, according to Downing. •'There needs to be much more edu/ cation in grade school and high school," Downing said. "That is when we deyelop habits." Downing said most Americans need to break the habit of eating too much red

meat, sugar and 'salt. She said. excessive salt consumption can cause high blood pressure, one of America's biggest health problems, and eating too much sugar can lead to diabetes and obesity . . "You have to change your habits to eat properly, and that is never easy,'' Downing said. Downing said although people are becoming more health concious, m?st Americans do not eat a balanced diet. For that reason, she does not think a onea-day vitamin supplement would be harmful to most people, but recommends seeking medical advice about individual dosage. •'A vitamin supplement to an adequate diet would give you. a go?d nutritional background," Dowmng said. "But, the thing about vitamins is i:hey give you false insurance. You take a onea-day and you think, 'I don't need to eat my greens.' That just isn't so." Vitamins A and D are fat soluable and are stored in the body, powning said, so it is possible to overdose on them. She said many people spend a lot o,f money on vitamins they do not need. "It's easy to get the necessary vitamins and minerals if you eat the four food groups," Downing said. "Many foods are fortified. You should read the labels and stay clear of preservatives, additives, sugar and salt." Downing said that although more research is being done in the field of nutrition, there is still much that is unknown. "We're just becoming aware of what additives can do to our bodies, such as saccharin " Downing said. "I think what it all boils down to is people taking responsibility for their own h~alth, realizing its importance and wantmg to find out as much as they can." "What I'm saying is read all you can and be well informed on many aspect~," Downing said. She recommends readmg books by a variety of authors such as a Registered Dietician, a <loctor or health food advocates. And said Downing, the staff at the health c~nter can assist. in providing students with nutritional information and counseling. All MSC students can use the center if they are registered for at least one hour, even if they do not have the health insurance.

When the merger was .a hot issue, education than State Senator Hugh Fowler was seen by many Aurarians as a Fowler. As chairman of the Senate legislative villain threatening to foreclose Education Committee, the Arapahoe County Republican has had a firm hand on the family farm.

Last year, Fowler was the sponsor of ban nature' of Metropolitan State a bill that would have created sweeping College.

Education has always been important to Hugh Fowler, even in the early days of his budding political career. Fowler was raised in Evanston, Illinois, a place he describes as a "strong Republican town." He has been active in the GOP for many years, but traces his first direct involvement back to the Dewey campaign in 1948, the year he graduated from the University of Colorado. After working his way through the party ranks, Fowler got his first shot at public office in 1968 when popular incumbant Ed Scott decided not to run for re-election. (Long-time Denver residents know Scott best as "Sheriff Scotty" of kiddie show fame.) Fowler survived a primary test and went on to victory in the regular election in November. He was aware then that education was "one part of public enterprise that was failing." He was appointed to the Education Committee and eventually became its chairman. Fowler blames the defeat of his higher education reorganization plan on the institutions mobilizing their clout with local representatives. "In their selfish view, it was a wrong thing to do," he says. He thinks that politics all too often gets in the way of real progress, but is confident that eventually most of the provisions of his bill will be passed piecemeal by the legislature. When asked to name his ~ost significant achievements as a state senator, Fowler doesn't hesitate a second in putting his efforts to " keep trade unionism out of the schools" at the top

of the list. "I've spent a lot of time trying to improve the whole enterprise (education), so the people in it can feel the public appreciates what they do and rewards them for it so unions will not be necessary," he says. When the Joint Budget Committee recommended a six percent salary increase for community college instructors, Fowler and his counterpart in the House, Rep. Torn Tancredo (R-Arvada), got together to push for a 20-22 percent increase to bring salaries up to present system levels. As a result of their efforts, the raise was increased to 12percent. Instead of praising the raise, Fowler says the Colorado Education Association, a teachers' group, blasted the legislators for making a deal with the State Board for Community Colleges. Fowler leans forward and laughs. ''You know, they were upset because the . " legislature has robbed them of a complaint. I hope that is so, but that is not the reason why it was done." He also disagrees with those who feel the purpose of a college education -is to ,get people jobs. "That's a perversion of the classical definition of education,'' he .. says. Fowler also says he is a supporter of the state's smaller schools. "I've probably gone overboard to keep the small schools. That's not a popular view." If Hugh Fowler seems a bit grumpy ' about those folks in the education establishment, he is not much easier on his legislative colleagues.

Ain't no·party, ain't no disco! Just tor by Steve Werges What offers the scenic wonder of a three-week pack trip, the ease of riding in a car and a remoteness where only helicopters can go? A white water raft trip. White water rafting combines all of these attributes and provides thrills unmatched by any of Colorado's various outdoor sports. Colorado is the birth place of many large rivers. The Arkansas, Colorado, Yampa, Rio Grande and Dolores rivers are just a few where rafting is possible to the adventurous. Some of Colorado's rivers can only be rafted in late spring when the mountain run-offs are at their peak. The Dolores River, located in southwestern Colorado, is one of na_ture's quirks. The river used to run south like most rivers, but a few million years ago a mountain range jumped up and reversed its flow north. The canyon created by the Dolores varies extensively in terrain; the walls of the canyon go from

mildly slopi11g sides to jagged edges of redstone with overhanging cliffs that gave protection to the Anasazi Indians hundreds of years ago. The Dolores River is on the en· dangered list because the Bureau of Reclamation is currently surveying the area for the installation of a new dam. Because of its situation and numerous attractions, a trip down the Dolores seemed like a natural choice for a story on rafting. I contacted a number of raft companies before finding one that was willing to accommodate a press · party. I discovered the generosity of the man who owns and operates· Rocky Mountain Expeditions-Al McClelland. We were told to meet our boat crew on the morning of May 21 in Cortez, Colorado. The trip was slated to be a training trip for boatmen. -A group of ski bums, professional raf· ters and mountain guides had come together for this trip. DAY1 We spent the first day ferrying

cars, collecting supplies and lashing evef'Ything we had to the boats. After what seemed like · hours of preparation, we were instructed to get in our boat. Pushing off and en· tering the mainstream, we w~re on our way on a four-day adventure that would stay with me for life. Riding down the Dolores in the late afternoon sun, I watched last signs of civilization pass by. Our boat was third in the line of boats. The people in the boat in front of us suddenly began screaming wildly. Looking up I noticed we were headed for a low footbridge that the · river had swollen to meet. The bridge was made of old planks and a oneinctl wire cable, which made it quite a hazard. The first boat approaohed the bridge from the right side of the river.

e time for a beer. but when you consider that people probably ·uved in this same location ...- for over five hundred years, the dimensions of the site expand. After climbing around -the ruins for about an hour, we got back into our boat and proceeded downstream. Our boatmen were becoming increasingly nervous as time wore on. ; Getting out to inspect the rapids of-

fered me a chance to see what this monster of river lore looked like. My boatman didn't give me much of a chance to look. He grabbed me back into the boat, since we were the first ones in line to run the rapids. Now some may think Snaggletooth is a cartoon character, but as my boatman -said before we took the plunge into the first gaping hole: "This ain't no party, this ain't no disco." The first hole is insane. There you are taking an unstoppaqle plunge into what seems to be a twenty foot hole and you're saying, "What am I doing h_ere?" But you better keep yQur thoughts to yourself, because if you open your mouth, ten to one you will drink half the river. Boatmen on river, trips love to tease newcomers about the ferocity of large rapids. This trip was my fifth experience on the river and when the boatman started in on what a rapid Snaggletooth was ("Niagra Fallis is an eleven and Snaggletooth is a ten"), I felt safe in the fact that I was an experienced rafter. But it just goes to show you that as soon as you have it figured out, a wrench always shows up. The second hole In Snaggletooth was no shallower than the first and my boatman decided to take a bigger piece of this one. As we were about to er.est the rapid a fist of ·water greeted us and filled the boat with about 100 gallons of water. Meagan, my fellow rafter, grabbed a bucket and started bailing water as fast as possible, ignoring the oncoming rapids. · I sat there, wide-eyed, wondering if I had lived through all this. I then realized the rapid was

Our boat was still filled with water making it about as maneuverable as a tree in a mud pond. I looked up and saw we were headed for a pile of river refuse consisting of en·tire trees with rather sharp looking limbs. Meagan was still bailing .furiously and the boatman was rowing like crazy screaming, "I'm stuck to my seat, I'm stuck to my .seat!" We hit the garbage island, bounced off and got sucked into the channel. By now Meagan was exhausted from bailing and still didn't seem to be getting anywhere. I tried my hand at removing our unwanted water and suffered an 1dentical problem. Finally, after a short stay under an overhanging wall, we managed to beach the raft and get out. Getting

out allowed us to move around and escape the hypothermia that was quickly engulfing our bodies. We had floated down river about two miles in what seemed like 20 seconds. I decided to walk back and watch the others run the rapids. The other boats made It thorugh without injury or damage. We all gathered together and continued down the river. Getting some sleep sounded like a good idea, but not without parting.with old man cuervo first. DAY4 The next day went by uneventfully. Floating down river some more and pulling the boats out took up the whole day. We had floated over sixty miles in four days and compiled memories that would be engrained in me forever.

Pursuring history through rafting ~

•

_,,.

River rafting in Colorado is wild, exciting and sometimes dangerous. But there is a serious side to many of Colorado's rivers. They yield an abundance of geological and archaeological information, adding to our general histor:y of Colorado before Europeans settled here. No where is this more true than in the Dolores River Canyon in southwest Colorado. The walls of the canyon reveal geological stratas dating back nearly 300 million years. Curious changes in rock formations along the river reveal radical movements i n t he Umcomphagre Plateau over the millenia. These movements, some considered violent when they occured, managed to shift the flow of the once peaceful and pleasant Dolores River from south to north. The river's raging rapids seem to be a fitting tribute to the.geological turmoil of the area. To date, 593 archaeological sites have been identified, making the Dolores Archaeological Project the second most expensive salvage project In the world- the most expensive tieing the Aswan Dam Project in Egypt. What makes the archaeology of the Dolores River Canyon even more important is the planned installation of a dam by the Bureau of Land

Reclamation. By 1985, water will fill the canyon, forever wiping out the remains of thousands of ye ars of civil izatlon. There is evidence of human habitation as long as 10,000 years ago along the river. Only the weapons remain of the Paleo-Indian hunters. Between 5,000 B.C. and 450 A.D., the Dolores River was inhabited by various nomadic hunter/gatherer groups. The area immediately around the river provided shelter for these groups, but it is presumed they hunted elsewhere. The Dolores River Canyon's animal and plant life alone couldn't support the groups that set· tied there. The Anasazi Indians made more permanent settlements along the canyon creating cliff dwellings that still stand.

ain and saint "A good legislator is somebody who is able to get good legislation passed. •Some people are skillful tacticians that get crappy legislation passed. All that wheeling and dealing," he sniffs, "I don't consider them good legislators.'' He doesn't care much for legislators who don't do their homework: "I see people forced into dealing with issues > that are so far over their beads ... that makes them susceptible to manipulation. I'm not saying they.'re crooked, that's something else.'' "You've got to have drive and feel deeply about this," he says. "People who feel strongly enough to submit to the ~ tortures of running for election should be equally dedicated to what they're doing. Many are, and serving with them is fun. Many aren't and serving with them is difficult. But why should it be any different than life? That's the way people are. . ._

"The institution has lost it's civility. That used to be one of its distinguishing features-have an argument then shake hands afterwards and forget about the bitterness of losing.'' Fowler has had his share of coming out on the short end of votes, saying "I don't think anyone has lost more important bills than I have.'' Nevertheless, he retains his hope for the legislative process: "I trust in it, even though it is definitely discouraging. It's absolutely related to our freedom." One of Tancredo's and Fowler's pet ~ projects, the voucher system of financing higher education (see THE METROPOLITAN, April 23, 1980) will not be presented to the legislature for consideration because Tancredo feels the politics of the place will·tarnish what he considers a "pure" bill. Instead, he will 111 try to place it on the ballot through the referendum process. Fowler is not discourag¢ by this: "In this case, I think he's right," Fowler says, but his cheerful grin was replaced with a more thoughful look. "The legislative mechanism would fail in r getting the voucher system established. That's a recognition of fact-that doesn't make me any less a fan." "It's a failing of all people. You can't blame them (legislators) for haviing the same shortcomings of the people from which they come." .,. Fowler's interests include more than hammering out complicated education bills. He has long bad an interest in the history . of the state, especially its railroads. A glance around his home reveals antique railroad memorabilia and paintings. His front yard is adorned with an old railroad switching device, com~ plete with lantern. Fowler found a way to combine his interest in the railroads with his interest in the citizens of the state when he played a major role in the re-vitalization of Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad in A. southern Colorado. The narrow-guage line runs from Antonito, Colorado to Chama, New Mexico and is owned by both states. The tourist line has attracted more than 7 million dollars to the depressed San Luis Valley, and Fowler calls the r achievement "probably the only important thing I ever did." . Never one to just scratch the surfac"e of an issue, Fowler's interest in rail tran-

sportation led him to Europe, where he studied mass transportation systems in hopes of infl_uencing the development of the light rail program on the Colorado Front Range. Typically, the study was not at taxpayer expense. "Transportation in this area is critical," he says. "We're so far behind." Fowler introduced a bill based on his research that would have established a small demonstration system on the Broadway corridor, linking Southeast Denver to downtown. He claims his system would be more economical than the project planned by RTD and would not require a raise in taxes to build. The bill was defeated. Without a small system to examine, Fowler feels that it will be hard to convince voters this fall to approve the RTD plan sight unseen. To illustrate the immediate need for a system, Fowler says that if a visitor from outer space were to land near Auraria, if would be forced to conclude that the prime function of the center was to park cars. . Fowler believes many of these problems would cure themselves if people in public service would begin to see themselves as servants. He traces this back to the Latin motto on the state seal, nil sine numinae, which, in essence, means 'all things in God's name.' Pointing to a copy of the seal that · hangs on the wall of his family room, Fowler says "it would be easier to understand it, if they had a well-developed understanding of the relationship to other people as described by Jesus Christ and others. "Take the all-seeing eye on the pyramid, for example. That eye is on· the · legislature ... the government and the people. It's not an indictment, it's a mandate-a commandment.'' Fowler stops for a second and takes a look inside himself. "If only the legislature could be somewhat less worldly about some things." His voice trails off as he goes deeper into thought. The conversation now moves outdoors. Fowler points out the various plants and trees in his yard, each with its own history, each linked with the growth of his c~reer and family . He points out an oddly-shaped pine tree. The tree is very sensitive, he explains, and must be allowed plenty of room. At one point in its growth, the tree sensed the encroachment of another tree on its north side. Slowly, over a number of years, the tree began to bend toward the south, away from the trespasser. As the tree made its excrutiating move to the south, an established tree on that side eventually came into contact with its branches. Once again, the tree has begun the slow process of avoiding the inevitable. Fowler does not stop to offer a parable, but considers silently the ways of nature and the ways of man. · .Hugh Fowler is not a villain, nor is he a saint. Like all of us, he is sometimes • wrong and often right. But unlike most men, Hugh Fowler takes the time to study his world; whether he focuses on an education bill, an antique railroad or a _bed of_ tiger lilies, you can be sure that ne is looking very close.

Biii Coors talks about

growth, education Bill Coors, chairman of Coors Brewery in Golden, Colorado, said growth · is inevitable in Colorado and state leaders must meet that challenge, in a luncheon address at the Sudent Center last Thursday. Addressing the Governor's Commission on Public Telecommunications, Coor recognized that some people have contrary opinions but emphasized court ruling that say Coloradoans cannot legally prevent people from settling here. 0 Coors, who is also co-chairman of ii5 the Governor's Blue Ribbon Panel cin :::.. the future of Colorado, took a swipe at ~ the legislative process indicating the in- '2 stitution operates in a . "crisis ~ management" mode that inhibits a.. proper future planning. en He said private corporations are, Bill Coors: "Growth is inevitable." by design, better suited to future planning. He added that Coors Brewery plans decades ahead to maintain its viability as a company. Coors also expressed his concern about the fiscal state of higher education. As a trustee for the Colorado School of Mines, Coors said higher education is plagued with too little money and teach.ers who are leaving for better pay. Good faculty, he said, cannot be replaced and he referred to the problems at the University of Colorado's Health Sciences Center as a portender of things to come in Colorado's higher education system. Coors' address to the Governor's Commission highlighted the day long meeting at the Auraria Media Center. The Commission discussed the role of government in public communications, with special emphasis on rural communication needs around Colorado.

~-/fl~5~~ Art show but a fraction of Colorado talent by S. Peter Duray-Bito To those who think art in Colorado consists of oil paintings showing Indians bucking horses, the Sixth Colorado Annual art show at the Denver Art Museum is a refreshing difference. To those who appreciate contemporary fine art, the show is something of a disappointment. The Sixth Colorado Annual differs from previous shows by opening up the gallery to any entrant. Until now, the show was by invitation only and the new democratic process must be commended. But the methods in jurying the show were clearly inadequate to the task at band. Imagine sitting in a dark room fot two days watching over 5,000 slides flash before you on a screen. A visual marathon. To expect three jurists to competently select 171 pieces in this maimer is absurd. The process quickly boils down to a gut reaction by the jurist (or familiarity with the artist's name). The result is that the Sixth Colorado Annual is the most uneven, across-the-board art exhibition ever shown by the museum. There are excellent pieces and there are horrible ones. By and large, the sculptures and photographs are better in quality than the paintings or illustrations. Whether this is the true status of art in Colorado is anybody's guess.

Left: John Ripley's Miami, 1977, at the Sixth Colorado Annual. Right: At the "Reject Show."

As you walk into the Stanton Gallery, the first two pieces to strike the eye are Richard DeVore's elegant ceramic vessels and Stan Meyer's tar paper shingles. Both of these works are wellexecuted, though one wonders how well Meyer's piece will hold up with age. Cat-

ch it while you can. Other works of note are R. Douglas Fey's subtly colored sand, clay and ceramic pieces and Vicki Lee Johnson's "I Wish I Was in Hawaii," which exudes a feel of magnified metal flux lines. James Field's "Express Yourself..." is the show's token new wave piece, complete with SX-70 photographs. The piece has an uncanny ability to appear projected in a screen. Richard Baume's series of photographs on Globeville reveal a strident sense of humor and a careful technique. Ira Sherman provokes an almost anti-technological response with the exquisitely crafted "Butane Oxygen Dart Gun," "Fast As Polished Steel" and "Small Animal Incinerator Pendant." These devices actually work and rumor has it the "Incinerator" has already killed a fly. . Probably the finest conceptual. piece at the show is Mark Boulding's "Shadow Collision Project.'' Through a series of color photos, Boulding shows how the late afternoon shadow of Flagstaff Mountain extends east from Boulder and collides with the oncoming shadow of the earth's penumbra at over 3,000 miles per hour. This is true Colorado art, as the Front Range in one of the few places on earth that will exhibit this phenomenon. The piece requires considerable visualization of the physics at work and the display may have been aided by a simple astronomical illustration. Of the neatly 1,000 artists who entered the show, less than ten percent gained admission. This spawned what is billed as the "Reject Show," only a block from the museum at 16 W. 13th Avenue in the Westart Building. Only those whose work was rejected by the Sixth Colorado Annual Show could display their art, Randy Greenwalt, an organizer for the "Reject Show" and former Metropolitan State College- art student, explained that another 59 artists showed their work in the gallery's limited • space of three rooms. · "We have no bitterness towards the museum," Greenwalt said. "We just wanted to extend the range of work shown."

There are, indeed, some fine works at the "Reject Show." The museum . recognizes this and tries to make patrons of the Sixth Colorado Annual show aware of more work to be seen down the street. All of this makes it clear there simply isn't enough space or attention paid to Colorado artists. Everyone involved with , both shows was surprised at the sheer number of the entrants. And Greenwalt maintains there are yet more fine artists in Colorado. "Colorado art is prime," Greenwalt said. "It's on the edge of fantastic things." • One of the ultimate judges of an allColorado show's viability is the demand, if any, the show may have in other areas of the country. But Greenwalt sees a national tour as being ten years away. Greenwalt summed it up: "Many Colorado artists are leaving because they ~ can't survive here."

Wednesday night at the movies Every Wednesday until July 30, free films will be shown at the main Denver ,; Public Library; 1357 Broadway. Many of the films are part of the library's own collection, and SO!lle local film makers have also been invited to show their films and answer questions on the art and craft of film-making. The show starts at 6:30 p.m. and will ~ be followed by a discussion period. The " films are free and open to the public.

McCARTNEY II Paul McCartney Jnstruments and vocals: Paul McCartney Columbia FC 36511

* * * **

Paul McCartney recognizing rock's New Wave? Well, in his own way, yes. McCartney has steadily gone from· bad to worse with his band, Wings, and his new $8 million contract with CBS doesn't take declining record sales lightly. For his latest effort, McCartney has gone back to his roots-or, more specifically, to doing it all by himself. The last time McCartney made a solo album, it was a successful venture ~ust after the Beatles broke up in the late '60s. In many ways, McCartney II is as strong an effort as McCartney's first solo album and is certainly better than anything he has done in the last five or six · years. The album flows from song to song ..mu~h as the old Beatles classics. "Co~ing Up" is an upbeat, swinging bass-lme number with a kazoo-like instrument giving it that playful McCartney touch. "Temporary Secretary" is the first clue to McCartney's occassional excur,sions into new wave sound a la Gary Numan, Talking Heads and Devo. Sharply syncopated leads, some atonal musical events and the highly rhythmic repetition of "temporary secretary," give the song a distinctly different feel than prev~ous McCartney material. But lyrically, the song is reminiscent of the Sgt. Pepper period, say, "Lovely Rita." "Nobody Knows" is McCartney's token get-down, stompin' boogie number, while "Waterfalls" is classic McCartney-a soft ballad, with beautiful lyrics and richly sentimental overtones. "' Side two finally reveals the true source of McCartney's new sound. Instrumentals such as "Front Palour " "Fr~zen Jap" and "Darkroom" qulte obviously grow out of an association McCartney had with Kevin Godley and Loi Creme in Freeze Frame (see THE ,METROPOLITAN, March 5, 1980). J'.v1cCartney II is a generally impressive album and it becomes more impressive as you listen to all the little things McCartney included. Packaging art: Linda's photos and the overalJ concept is excellent. Recor_.ding: Not bad considering alJ the over' ·dub~-McCartney used some clean electrorucs for a change.

Ry Cooder probably knows more about real American music than many academic musicologists. In producing the soundtrack for The Long Riders, Cooder orchestrates a magical combination of classical Western music with subtle jazz and even rock influences. The basis for the album is to musically help illustrate a Western movie through original music. Cooder has kept by that demand, yet sprinkles the pieces with syncopations and odd time signatures that add a new dimension to the idea of Western music. The songs meander from a soulful

** * *

rebel song to a funeral march to popular dance songs of the mid-nineteenth century. Cooder uses original instruments of the period-no electric bass or electronic organs here. He lends his ear and talent to the compositions, giving them a .freshness and vitality that nearly makes them sound contemporary. Cooder has developed a fine discography over the .years. The Long Riders continues in the Ry Cooder tradition. · Packaging: About par for a soundtrack album, but at least indicates the musicians involved. Recording: Fairly natural sound field with good dynamic range.
