MSC sued for sex discrimination by Sal Ruibal

Four female employees of Metropolitan State College filed a lawsuit Aug. 27 alleging that MSC * administrators ''intentionally engaged. . .in illegal employment activities which discriminate against" women. The class-action suit was filed in U.S. District Court in Denver ~nd names four plaintiffs: Pamela ~ :h. Marcum, assistant professor of marketing; Megan McClard·, instructor in the English and women's studies departments; Sharon Niederman, half-time women's studies instructor; and ,.....Eleanor Green, director of the MSC experimental education program. The plaintiffs claim that MSC denies women full-time and tenured positions, that it refuses to recruit, hire, transfer and promote women and that it retaliates against fem ale employees who protest such actions. They are asking the court to order MSC to stop such actions and to provide back pay to female employees affected by them, as well as $500,000 in punitive damages. The women are represented by attorney Lynn D. Feigner, who

has won several judgements in similar sex discrimination cases. Feigner refused ·to comment directly on the case, but did admit that the case is ''based in part on statistical data.'' On April 23, the Women's Caucus submitted a memo to Dr. Michael Howe, MSC vicepresident for academic affairs, containing excerpts from a sevenyear HEGIS ~tudy of personnel actions at the college. According to an analysis of the study, "the percentage of women in the upper two ranks (full and associate professors) has remained consistently low, lower than their percentage of the faculty, while the number of women in the bottom ranks has remained consistently higher than would have been expected. "The pattern of tenured persons in ranks shows that more women are tenured in almost all cases than are men, a fact that indicated longer service, in general, for women.'' The report also states ''there is a consistent pattern of paying women less in all ranks'' and ''the patterns of discrimination against women do not seem to have improved since 197L Indeed, women seem to have suffered

some real losses." . The Women's Caucus told Howe ''women on this campus need to be involved in the decision making in a significant way. It is apparent that women are not presently involved.'' MSC President Donald Macintyre issued a statement on the case through the school's public relations department. It said: "It is extremely difficult and inappropriate for me to comment on a lawsuit I have not seen. As soon as I receive a copy of the

lawsuit and I have an opportunity to review it, I will make a statement.'' At a June 20 meeting of the Trustees of the Consortium of State Colleges MSC's governing board - Macintyre acknowledged the concerns of the Women's Caucus. Official minutes of the meeting quote Macintyre as saying "all efforts are being made to work with this group and correct any deficiencies.'' continued on page 11

It has been a long, hot summer for beleaguered MSC President Donald Macintyre.

Student Health Center faces budget shortfall ___

- ~,~~~b-y_S P_ e_ re_r_D_u-ra-y---Bi-.t-o~.~~,

The MSC Student Health Center faces serious budget problems this year because of reduced student fee allocations. -._ The Centor's budget for 1980-81 was reduced from a requested $181,000 to $158;500 by the Student Affairs Board during the last budget allocations. Last year, the Center received $168,000. The Center's director, Betty Jo Collard, said the cutba~k will affect their .,:. services and performance. Collard said the Center has two positions they can't afford to fill, a nursing assistant's position and a clerical position. "We have to double up on our work," Collard said. "The nursing prac,;.... titioners have to take turns cleaning up and we have trouble providing physicians with nursing assistance.'' Collard also said the Center can no longer provide free drugs to patients. As the Center runs out of drugs, only the most essential, emergency-use drugs can ~ be reordered. The new budget also limits physicians salaries to $21 an hour, far below the. community average of $30 $35 an hour. Collard said this limitation jeopardizes the quality of service the Center can provide. ·~ "One of our pll(t-time physicians is leaving and we're looking for a new one," Collard said. "But at $21 an hour, we can't get them (physicians)." "Our equipment budget is a joke," Collard added. "We're down to conserving gauze pads." . ~ ..., The staff can no longer attend continuing education programs Collard said are "essential" to keeping abreast of new developments in the health care field. The staff is also taking one month leave without pay as an alternative to 1f. letting more staff go, Collard said. In .an effort to increase revenue, the Center is offering its services to UCD student for $25 per semester. . ''They'd be getting the same service as MSC students," Collard said. "I just hope they hear about this new service and · begin using it." The Center's budget is nearly 40 percent of the student fee budget of $425,000. The Student Affairs Board decides on the budget allocation and

makes their recommendation to MSC Student Services. Fifteen student clubs and organizations must be funded besides the Health Center. "We received $60,000 less money this year," said Sonny Wasinger, ASMSC president, and who was on the Student Affairs Board during the budget hearings. "Everyone·had to be cut." Wasinger said the Board had to decide on requested budgets that were $200,000 over available funds. "We had to go by what affects the most students," Wasinger said. "Only six to 10 percent of the student body uses the Health Center. That is such a small percentage that it' s unfair for the rest of the students. They're paying for something they never use.'' ASMSC Vice-President Fred Hopkins, also on the Student Affairs Board during the budget hearings, said the Board suggested that Collard promote the Center more aggressively to make up for lost funds. Collard said they have been making more of an effort to let students know they can use the Center and hope to increase usage, but are hard-pressed to handle more people under the present budget constraints. Dr. Antonio Esquibel, vice-president of student affairs, oversees the Student Affairs Board. At the time the board made its recommendations, Esquibel was not yet in office. Dean Schenck accepted the Board's recommendations with only slight changes. "There's not much we can do in the short term," Esquibel said. "Their biggest problem is that they have only one source of funding. We have to go back and do some ground work with the Student Affairs Board. "I'd like to see us go back to last year's budget, but the student population has decreased over the last two years. "In the immediate future, I don't see any relief of their budgetary problems," Esquibel said. Wasinger feels student fees are woefully inadequate for all the budgeting requirements. "We had a referendum last spring to see how much students want to allocate and to whom," Wasinger saitl. "(President) Macintyre said if we get 25 percent response on the referendum he would consider that a mandate. Unfor-

Coll'ege 'sold'.for $30,000 by Emerson Schwartzkopf

Metropolitan State College is being sold. In another effort to gain the attention of Denver area citizens - and beef up the ranks of registered students - MSC moved this summer to "sell" the school through a media advertising campaign. And early indications show the advertising blitz mi~ht pay off. . .and justify its $30,000 pnce tag. The advertising plan, combining television public service announcements with paid spots with both radio and selected Denver newspapers, took form in mid-July, said Susan Blish, MSC public relations director. The move to actively promote the college through advertisement marks a change from previous MSC efforts. Before class last fall and this spring, Blish said the main MSC action was printing the class schedule in the Denver Post. ''That was successful in giving the community awareness," Blish said, "but we needed more effort for fall for incoming enrollment." "Rather than the past effort in a one-time basis," Blish added, "we wanted to have a broader appeal, with more frequency." "The goal was to reach the whole community," said John Grant, an independent advertising consultant assisting MSC in the advertising

campaign. Grant, a 20-year veteran of the advertising field in New York, Chicago, and Denver, working for clients such as AT&T and Mountain Bell, said the main impetus of the advertising dealt with more than simply enrolling students. "A good question about this," said Grant, referring to the enrollment, "is if this is just to increase enrollment. The answer is no. We're after a much broader point of view of identity." The three print advertisements, written and produced by Grant's frim of John Grant and Associates, push MSC's open ' enrollment and credit/non-credit courses, with slogans such as "We're here to further education, not deny it" and ''A college that meets your requirements." The four different radio ads, using MSC students gathered by speech department chairman Tom Cook, also emphasize MSC's openness, with direct appeals to youth, minorities and other selective audiences. And, the advertising campaign also included television public service announcements - free air time made available in the community's interest featuring Dr. Antonio Esquibel, MSC's vice president of student affiars. The print advertisements, Grant said, appeared in the entertainment sections of both the Rocky Mountain News and Denver Post, along with 1 similar advertisements in the special

market papers of the Denver Downtowner, Denver Weekly News, and La Voz. With radio, Grant said the college's plan was to use "segmented advertising" to hit targeted groups. " We tried to select a particular area to best reach audiences," Grant said. "For Hispanics, for example, we used KBNO; for blacks, KOKO; for young people, KBPI-FM; and so on." In all the advertisements, Grant noted, there was an attempt to make sure "the college was stated in simplest terms." "For instance," he said, "when you say we have 70 areas of study, it's confusing. It's almost a case of not seeing the forest for the trees." The radio spots, Blish said, began August 7, and the print advertisements one week later. The total advertising campaign, she said, ended yesterday. The total cost of the campaign, she added, would be "around $30,000," or approximately the same amount spent last year for the schedule .printings in the Post. The majority of MSC advertising funds, Blish said, were spent on the late summer campaign, instead of aiming for a spring market. "Effectively, if we don't get them for enrollment in the fall, we don'tpick it up in the spring,'' she said. The decision this summer to mount the big advertising push, Blish said,

involved the MSC public relations office, college admissions and records, Esquibel, • 1 Vice President for Academic Affairs J Michael Howe, and MSC President .J Donald Macintyre. Initial response, Blish said, is good; the persons handling the telephone inquiries from the advertisments through the Metrodial information service are• "literally swamped." Esquibel said MSC's institutional ) research department will analyze any information gathered from respondents to the advertisement campaign. Grant said the effects of the campaign, though, will hopefully last ~ longer than the three-week advertising run. ''There will be a tdialogue continuing," be said, "on variDus levels during a year-round basis. This will be not just advertising, but dialogue both internally and externally, with public .;. relations, recruitment, point of view, and college development. "This is the start of a total concept."

Summer hot time for MSC's Macintyre

A

by Sal Ruibal

For Donald Macintyre, president of Metropolitan State College, it has been a long, hot summer. The calm of spring erupted into a cacophony of faculty dissent when the administration was accused of botching summer semester planning. That skirmish escaled into a request by the Faculty Senate June 20 that the school's governing board "conduct an investigation to determine if the management of the institution is now in good order fiscally and legally.'' (see THE METROPOLITAN, August 6,

1980)

At that same meeting of the Trustees of the Consortium of State Colleges, the MSC Women's Caucus presented a report alleging sexual discrimination in hiring; promotion, transfer and tenure. The trustees suggested the faculty direct its report to the college administration. On Aug. 27, four female employees filed suit against MSC that mirrored the findings of the Caucus report. (See page one.) There were two bright spots for the beleaguered executive. He passed scrutiny by the trustees and was awarded a renewal of his contract at the controversial June meeting. On July 30, Macintyre announced that he had "formally ~pplied for the

position of president at Colorado State University." . Trouble with the faculty began when Qr. Michael Howe, vice president for academic affairs, established a guideline of 30 students per class for summer semester courses. Howe's guidelines failed to specify if the figure was to be a department, school or campus-wide average. From that confusion emerged proposals for salary proration based on how close enrollment comes to the set standard. "The objective," according to psychology .department chairman Ed Karnes, "was to allow individual faculty members to choose. If only 25 students enrolled in a class, for example, the faculty member could get at least 25/30ths of a salary - rather than nothing." The idea of salary proration came out of a meeting between Karnes and two other department chairmen from the School of Liberal Arts. The original proposal, developed a week before summer semester, called for a 20-perclass guideline, Karnes said. After a meeting between Howe and the school deans, however, the enrollment base was set at 30 students and the faculty prorated on "class performance." Eventually a compromise was continued on page 11

EdliQiiii President's energies needed I.

by Sal Ruibal

You think you've got troubles? Thank your lucky stars you're not MSC president Donald Macintyre. Macintyre is up to his ears in problems these days, with a rebellious faculty on the left, a major sex discrimination suit on the right, a tight-fisted state legislature in the middle and shrinking enrollment all around. The last thing in the world he needs is something else to worry about, right? Wrong. Macintyre has gone and applied for the

presidency of Colqrado State University. A-self-described "academic vagabond," Macintyre brought several of his "Bay Area Bombers" with him to MSC. In their baggage were several pet projects nutured during their tenure at the University of San Francisco. One of them was the China tour and faculty exchange. If Macintyre were .to win the job in Fort Collins, would he and his crew pack up their tent and move, China and all? Many of the problems facing MSC today are the result of policy set by the Macintyre administration.

What assurances does the college have that its management team won't pull out, leaving the school in a legal and financial mess? The chances of Macintyre being selected for the CSU job are mighty slim, but what are we to think of a leader who already has one foot out the door? The best thing Macintyre could do for the school right now would be to withdraw from consideration for the CSU position and put all his energies into solving the many problems at MSC. Semper Fide/is, Dr. Maclntyre,sef11perjidelis.

Here we go again, Auraria! It should take another week before we become accustomed to the classroom situation again. And get back into the exciting swing of things at Auraria. Several things have happened since June, so here's an update: l. In case you haven't noticed, several departments and services have been moved around. This was done as a result of legislative directives forcing MSC and UCO to consolidate certain departments and services.

2. The city is building a bridge over Cherry Creek to re-route northbound Speer Bouldevard. Now that 30,000 of us are back down.here, expect traffic snarlups in tliat area.

3: As indicated in several stories in this issue, MSC's administration faces scrutiny by the Board of Trustees and a suit by the Women's Caucus·. Meanwhile, UCO is still without a new chancellor. 4. If you are observant by nature, you may have notices name placards on the sides of campus buildings. This will hopefully curb some first-week confusion. 5. There is a new 3 .2 disco on the other side of the Tivoli Brewery called Thirsty's. And if you can't stand looking that way because the scene at Tivoli is too gross to muster, plans are under way to clean it up. Maybe by next summer..•. 6. THE METROPOLITAN has officially sanctioned by the student government at UCO. Although we have reported on UCO news in the past,

Fall greetings from . WaSinger and Hopkins Fall semester! And the "old" faces are enthusiastically checking out the new, and there are lines of people in the bookstore, and business is picking up at the Mercantile, and the Auraria cops are getting wirter's cramp from dishing out those damn parking tickets. and there are joyous little "how was you summer" reunions, and there is a brand new student government! J\nd that's where we come in ... Sonny Wasinger and Fred Hopkins...we and you are -the Associated Students of Metropolitan State College, over 14,000 of us! We're your President and Vice-President, but more than that, we're your friends and fellow students. (Neither one of us were ever all that much for politics. Hell, one of us is a Music and Theatre major and the other is Music Performance.) B1.1t, we're your student leaders and since you have some artists as student leaders it is extremely safc and appropriate to say that things are going to be unorthodox this year! Boy do we have plans. We've been talking to our friends and fellow students for years now and we know the student want a lot of changes around here just as bad as we do, and that's what motivated us to run for this office int he first place. Now that we are here, well, suffice it to say that we are going to GO FOR IT! I We know that the students want more than the good edueation MSC offers .•. the students are ready for a CAMPUS LIFE. So, keep your eyes and cars attuned, because we arc going to do all kinds of things directed to that end. The student body of 80-81 is not into stagnationa and complacency and bureaucracy and all that crap. We want to see things happen! We have spent the summer talking to administration and faculty people and they assure us that they want what is best for the students. Well, this year we are going to give them every opportunity to live up to those excellent sentiments! Hey, what is a student government for anyway? To sit around and be bureaucratic and have little cliques and think we're hot you-know-what and just do our own thing? Not this one. We are going to reflect the student body of 80-81 at MSC: the most diversified, and in our opinion, the best damn bunch of students in the state of Colorado! We want to see a solid social life on this campus.

There's not one thing wrong with having a lot of fun while you're getting a good education. We want to see those busy streets running through our campus disappear. (We're tired of jaywalking tickets and getting hit by cars.) Speaking of tickets, we want to see the parking system on campus changed drasticall¥! Speaking of tickets again, we want to sponsor concertS1 We want our student clubs and organizlflons to grow and to make some money for themselves this year! We want to see a WIDE OPEN administration! To name a few. (Radical? No. Righteous!) Now, being your student leaders, we are painfully aware that we have to follow a system in order to make changes like those happen. Well, we keep one fact uppermost in our min3s: if the students weren't here, the college wouldn't be here. So, we want to see that "system" speed up like crazy if not sooner. We can do it. You know that old saying "There is strength in numbers?" Well, that's our NEW saying. · That brings us to the main point: as your student government leaders, we are your voice to the administration, faculty, staff, other colleges and univ~sities, the state legislature and the community in general. So, please tell us what·to say. We want to hear from you. Your ideas, suggestions, and comments are our motivators. And if you've got complaints about anything on the campus, you come to us. That's what we're here for. And even more, we want you to get involved with us! We want you to be a part of the student government, and we really need your help. Please come and see us in Room 340 of the Student Center. Or, give us a call at 629-3253. Our doors and our minds are wide open to you, so use us to the hilt •.. we're here to do the footwork for you! The Metropolitan Newspaper (the student's newspaper) is giving qs a '!\'Cckly article so we can keep in touch with you better than ever, so be sure and read every issue. We'll be laying a lot of interesting tidbits on you this year I Sonny Wasinger ASMSC President Fred Hopkins ASMSC Vice-President

we hope to increase our coverage there and elsewhere on campus and throughout the city. We can't emphasize enough to keep those cards and letters coming.

A consumer guide to political polls by Sal Ruibal

"A person who wants to understand public opinion might do well to. . . read the polls, eavesdrop on conversations in bus stations and coffee shops, scan a variety of newspapers, put a finger in the wind, then forget about the polls. " -Michael Wheeler

~

<

1-

-~

Forget about polls? Impossible! They're everywhere. . .on television, in the newspapers, on billboards and in pamphlets. There are polls on candidates, polls on issues, polls on products and polls on polls. Polls have been a part of our lives for the past forth years, but in this election year, they have ·become absolutely rampant. Pollsters have always insisted that polls do not influence elections, but that argument cannot stand up in light of the requirements established by the League of Women Voters for participation in the 1980 presidential debates. In order to be recognized by the LWV for inclusion in the debates, candidates must be on the ballot in most states and have received at least fifteen percentage points in the political polls. Obviously these requirements were aimed at John Anderson, but the example does serve to point out the importance we place on a candidate's standing in the polls. Is that importance deserved? Not all

polls are created equal, and even the best are occasionally inaccurate. As a service to our readers, THE METROPOLITAN presents its l 9_8Q Consumer Guide to Political Polls. (With many thanks to Michael Wheeler, author of Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics.) To measure the accuracy of a particular poll, ask yourself the following questions: Are the numbers right? An important key to judging the accuracy of any poll is the size and construction of the sample. The sample is "the group of persons questioned for the poll. The larger the sample group, the smaller the chance of error. In a national poll, a minimum of 1500 respondents is necessary; in a state-wide sample, 500. In any poll, there is a built in range of chance sampling error. Most polls reveal the precentage of chance sampling error, but the sample error is not the total range of possible error in any poll. · Remember that people who refused to answer the question were not included in the sample. Have the numbers been adjusted? Polls are not as scientific as the pollsters would have you believe. At every step along the way, a certain amount of subjective analysis is used. In most election polls, the sample is comprised of "likely voters . " How a pollster determines who is and is not a "likely voter" is largely a subjective issue.

DON'T KNOW

Beware of totals that add up to 100. There-are always "undecideds"; how the pollster allocates those fence-straddlers can greatly influence accuracy. Most pollsters are hostile to those without opinions. Interviewers use subtle and not-so-subtle means to elicit positions from those who normally have none. How was \he poU conducted? Most pollst~rs rely on two methods

of interviewing: person-to-person and telephone. Many polls in past decades were skewed because they relied too heavily on telephone interviews, but now that the phone is almost universal, results are more accurate. One problem with in-person interviews is the fact that some people live in "undesirable" neighborhoods. Interviewers are hesitant to roam the continued on pqe 11

Macintyre contlnued from page 5 reached that set the base at thirty, but averaged throughout an entire academic school. Howe's handling of the salary issue ignited dormant energies in the faculty. In addition to the proration battle, the faculty was upset with changes in the organizational structure of the college instigated by Howe and Macintyre: They were especially incensed with the proliferation of administrative positions. In an open meeting June 19, about 120 MSC faculty members met to discuss proration and the administrative issues directed toward the Macintyre administration. The report presented to the trustees came about as a result of the open meeting. Another sign of faculty activism is the creation of a newsletter by an interim committee of the Faculty Senate. The purpose of the newsletter is to keep faculty abreast of developments in the investigation of the Macintyre administration. Macintyre has stated that he has no problems with the faculty newsletter and its contents.

Political polls continued from page 9 ghetto looking for subjects, so those areas are often under-represented in the final sample. Mail-in surveys are consistantly inaccurate. Results can be easily influenced by special interest groups. One important yardstick for mail polls: how many replies were sent out and how many returned? Is it an election poU? Pollsters are quick to point out that polls reflect the situation at a specific point in time. Elections, however, are held only on Election Day. Interviewers tend to lump the leaners with the solid supporters, but situations and voter's minds do change. Early polls are usually inaccurate because campaigns are designed to peak on Election Day. There are also "hidden voters."

These "hidden voters" are unwilling to express their opinion in public because their choices may be unpopular. Many Wallace voters were "hidden" int he 1972 and 1976 polls. Issue polls: could you answer the question? On any given issue, there is an entire range of possible options. The pollsters prefer only two. The more complex the issue, the greater the range. Would you feel comfortable answering the question? Could you easily fit your answer into the alternative provided? Have you even thought about the issue? The Gallup Poll releases the exact wording of the question asked. The Harris Poll does not. In the Harris case, you are being asked to rely upon the ·political analysis of one man on a question whose exact wording you are unsure of. Beware. What do the other polls say? Comparison shopping is not a bad idea when it comes to political polls. It may help you get all the nuances of the issue. Compare the dates of the polls, as events can influence the outcome of polls only days apart. Who paid for the poll? Every poll is purchased, whether by a newspaper or television network or political party. Candidates buy polls, as well as political action committees. Newspapers love sensational polls and candidates love favorable polls. Above all, beware of "leaked" polls in newspaper editorial columns. You have no access to the information needed to verify the accuracy. The less you know about a poll, the less you can trust it.

95 percent of the parts you need from them, "says Jarvis. Jarvis plans to use the organization's parts list in restoring his wife's 1957 twodoor_sedan. "She really didn't like this idea (of restoring cars) at the start; now she helps out with the work and the club." • Jarvis's own "club" is Rocky .. Mountain Classics, with 19 paid members and four pending, "which is pretty good for starting Jast December," he notes. Jarvis plans to start work on his wife's car "as soon as the snow flies," sanding the car's finish to enable a retw:_n to the original color - a uniquely Fifties hue called Surf Green. "I spend a lot of time out here," he says of his garage, evidenced by the bright work lights, full workbench, and about a dozen posters of actresses from Charlie's Angels on the

wall. Even in the mid-Fifties Chevrolet •ollection movement, there are sub-cults. An entirely seperate spinoff are the Nomad persons, collecting the two-door hilfdtop wagon introduced in 1955. Vivian Barreras, president of the owner's group Mile-Hi Nomads, says he obtained his 1957 Nomad because "It's ~ust a good looking wagon - it's a sports model wagon. Collectors of the Nomad, with its grooved roof, sliding side wjndows, and a reputation as the "surfer's wagon"· equal to the pre-war "woodies", even have their own national club, jleadquartered in suburban Englewood. Barreras claims to get 18-20 miles per gallon of gasoline with his Nomad even with a 307 cubic inch 1969 Chevrolet engine. "That's another thing about 1955-57 Chevrolets," Barreras says. "You can ut almost any small black Chevrolet V-8 engine in it - yhou could pull one out of a 1979 - and it will bolt up." Norm Smith, the owner of a 1957 Bel Air four-door hardtop, bought his car five years ago for $600 to appreciate

the mechanical reasoning of the car. "I'm a registered professional engineer," be says. "I bought it for the engineering advances." Among the technological tricks Smith admires in the mid-Fifties Chevrolet is the introduction of the onehorsepower-per-cubic-inch engine and factory-installed fuel injection, a feature included in his Bel Air. "This is a great car," Smith says. "It comes from a simpler time everything was simple back then. "If . . . someone had a college degree then, they could get a job. For iosance, Boeing used to advertise for engineers - any engineers - and they'd put them to work. Now .... " As most good things come to an end, so did the mid-Fifties Chevrolet; by 1958, the styling changed to accomodate marketing and economics, rather than engineering. The style changed to accomodate body sharing between different General Motors divisions; and, Smith says, "after 1957, the styling was basically what Madison Avenue wanted." The 1955-57 Chevrolets - the NiftyFifiies - still survive, however, roaming the highways of America. Bobby Joe and Valerie Jean became suburbanites, the streets became superhighways, and the nation change incredibly and irreversably fast; but the Chevrolets .... When Smith began to show off the wonders of his Bel Air last week, he turned on the radio to demonstrate the "Wonderbar" signal-seeking tuning feature. As the power came on, out of the speakers came .. . "Let The Good Times Roll," straight from 1957. Some things, it seems, never change.

·Another Blondie in the wings by S. Peter.Duray-Bito

NERVUS~

Shaun Brighton - lead vocals, guitar; Lauren Agnelli - guitars, keyboards, vocals; Diane Athey- bass; Jonathan Lee Gildersleeve- drums. Produced by Mike Chapman.

****

Mike Chapman may very well have another Blondie on his hands. Nervus Rex has that open dance hall sound similar to Blondie: classic harmonies forcefully played by -a strong rhythm section and inspired by clear, lilting vocals.

With the sex complement split equally down the middle, there is no single Deborah Harry-type stand-out in this band. Instead, the two men and two women of Nervus Rex divide their musical talents equally and successfully. Gildersleeve is a strong, effortless drummer given the same prominent inix Chapman gave Clem Burke of Blondie. Brighton and Agnelli share vocal duties superbly. Their style is late '60s teen songs mixed with new wave tone and.., syncopation, There is less Motown influence here than with Blondie and the overall feel of the album is capped off by a stirring rendition of "Venus," the 1968 hit by Shocking Blue. A highly listenable album. NO FRIGHT Live Wire Mike Edwards - vocals, guitar's; Simon Boswell - guitar, keyboards, vocals; Jeremy Meek - bass, vocals; German A&MSP-4814

There is nothing really new or unusual here - just a finely conceived album throughout. Even if Benson never did get that TV show ...

But from the very first track, Chicago's traditional vocal flavor and instrumental style permeates the entire album. True, there are some "heavier" arrangements than Chicago's recent disco binge, but the essence is still Chicago.

Fantasy goes awry -n Xanadu by Emerson Schwartzkopf XANADU starring Olivia Newton-John, Gene Kelly, and Michael Beck. The scene: an "in" Hollywood ea·tery. Several movie wizards take a lunch and discuss a new property. "You know, this Xanadu - this modern mythology stuff - it sounds okay, but who do we use?" Yeah, but, uh . . .for that muse character, how about Olivia? Grease rolled 'em in, and. .. " "That's it! And for this older character, the old jazz guy, let's get Astaire!" "No, no, he's too old - a spinach salad, please - someone just a bit younger, like Gene Kelly. " "Yes, Gene Kelly, and for the younger kids, we'll get a big group to go along with Olivia, like the Doobies or Electric Light Orchestra or somebody like that." Super, super, " as they all dig into lunch, the studio's expense account, and the tentative development of another "can't miss" picture. Unfortunately, the best plans of Hollywood tend to go awry. No film this year matches the potential drawing power of Xanadu - and yet none will fail so miserably.

For Xanadu looks too much like a film ·made by committee decision, with properties covering every area of the viewing market. Xanadu, with 1980s special effects and old-style MGM musical twists, should appeal to all. . . but is probably fully enjoyable to few. The main problem with this trendy updating of Greek mythology is its thin base of attraction. Fans of old-style musicals (the Gene Kelly group), smooth sounds (the Olivia Newton-John crowd), and rock music (Electric Light Orchestra buffs) all find their favorites mired in a movie with a ludicrous plot and mediocre acting. To answer the advertising claims of "a fantasy ...where dreams come true," Xanadu is-the tale of Olivia as a muse (one Of the d~ughters of Zeus, for those ditching high school English classes) touching the lives of a digruntled artist (Michael Beck) and a big-band jazz musician-turned-millionaire contractor (Gene Kelly). · Together, they build Xanadu, a splashy disco-nightclub in art-deco style and auditorium proportions. Of course, the muse and the artist fall in love, an ungodly action in the dreams-come-true game. On the surface, this story might squeak by as an amusing tale. Unfor-

tunately, marketing moguls stepped in, with these disasterous effects: - to jump on two trends at once, the story is set in today's Southern California, with everyone (including Kelley) using roller skates- as a primarey form of transportation; - the plot is thinly stretched out to bridge the time between hit songs by Olivia and ELO; - Gene Kelly, taking little of this seriously, races around the screen with the enthusiasm of a junior-high kid on his first score of acid; - the doorway to the fifth dimension, the home of Zeus and faniily, is a wall mural in Santa Moaica; -:- and, in possibly the most bizzare conglomeration of the year, the musical styles of the 1940s and 1980s are merged in a duet between Olivia and the sex-rock band The Tubes. In such a paltry plot, acting suffers

- although, to be fair, acting need not be the strong point of this genre of film. Olivia, as in Grease, is ni<?e: nice outfits, nice hair, nice voice, nice smile. If movies could exude odors, Olivia would smell nice. The muse role calle for nice-~ ness, which Olivia delivers in abundance. An ominous note, though, is her lurking in the shadows during scenes where real acting is involved. Michael Beck, as the artist, is perfectly cast as the unknown portraying the unknown. Beck does attempt some• acting, but drama is hard to squeeze in between hit numbers. As for Gene Kelly, he seems to have fun romping with the 'kids; he still has his big smile and fast dancin' feet. Xanadu 's high point is special effects, with synthesizer sounds meshingl( with laser-light visuals. Unfortunately~ such effects are marred by a poor Disney copy of a sugary animation scene transforming Olivia and Beck into fishes, b.irds, and other nice creatures. Xanadu has everything to entice audiences, but nothing to consistantly entertain them. The combination of styles produce a convoluted mess attractive mes~. but still a mess. The failure of Xanadu lies not with its actors, its technical work, or even the thin storyline. Xanadu fails in the struggle for the big bucks, in making · movie for ·marketability instead of real purpose. If ever a movje existed to fail without deserving such a fate, Xanadli seems to be the best example of Hollywood thinking at its worst.

A good showing by Freddie Hubbard! Dogged by the commercial pinnings of disco, Hubbard's vision has declined dramatically in recent years. Now he returns to his own synthesis

***

The only song really different on Panorama is the hit single "Touch and Go" and even that only because of its odd rockabilly sensibility. ..&. Otherwise, the basic themes are quite similar to Candy-0. Lyrics are as off-thewall as ever and that distinctive Cars sound will keep Cars fans happy. What's missing is the kind of rambing synthesizer transition as from "Shoo Be Doo" to "Candy-0" that gaveCandy-0 added pizzaz. By contrast, Panorama uses more conventional bridging techniques between songs that just aren't as fresh sounding as on Candy-0.

The Stones have done it again. With Emotional Rescue, the Stones

-

offer a little bit of everything they have done over the years. There is classic Stones in "Summer Romance," "Indian Girls" and "All About You." There is new wave in "Where the Boys Go," reggae in "Send It To Me," and Some Girls-type disco in "Dance," "Let Me Go," and "Emotional Rescue." In short, Emotional Rescue is the best balanced Stones album in years. The cover reminds one of the Exile on Main Street cover, with the concept of anthropometric man being as intellectualized as a Talking Heads cover.

"Dance" begins with Jagger wondering what he's doing "on the corner of West 8th Street and 6th Avenuuuuue." Later, Max Romeo belts out some Airto inspired vocal percussion. · "Summer Romance" has a classic Stones beginning, with Watts working at his attempt to get the beat off the ground while Richards and Woods wail on Rhythm guitars. The song then flows into a Goats Head Soup period repeating theme. "Send It To Me" reflects Jagger's association with Jamaican Peter Tosh. Bill Wyman can strut a reggae bass lirie

with the best of the reggae masters. "Let Me Go" is a standard Stones tune with Watts highlighted on his dance hall snare drum. As the song develoQL Jagger's lyrics gradually blend into "l!r me ego." "Indian Girl" represents the classic (again) Stones hallmark of a quiet love song to finish side one. This particular song is vaguely reminiscent of "Angie," though n~t nearly as sensuous. '

It is, too often, easy to forg about the Stones rhythm section: Wyman and Watts. They add immeasurably to placing the Stones into musical history.

As students return to classes this fall t at MSC, two of its most successful sports teams begin their 1980 seasons - in near anonymity. "We're just trying to get people to know we're here," said Pat Johnson, MSC women's volleyball coach. A lack of recognition may be the .,iargest problem for both teams. In the past four years, the MSC soccer team took the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletic's local district title twice - and the volleyball squad placed in the national top ten for the past three seasons. l But, who knows? ~ "Our biggest problem at MSC," said Johnson, "is communication, to make sure people know we have a variety of programs."

"We don't have enough to cover .the whole thing," he said. "The college is supporting the (volleyball) program as adequately as possible," Johnson said. "We do need to develop other sources of support." Temmer said the soccer team is now seeking outside money by charging admission to non-students at games, and selling season tickets at $10. One form of . outside svpport, though, pleased Temmer far beyond its monetary value. One former MSC soccer player, Temmer said, came in from California for the varsity-alumni game August 23 (a 2-2 game in double overtime) and gave the team a $500 check afte.r the game. "He's an electronics engineer," Temmer said of the patron, "and he said he never would have gone here and gotten his education if it hadn't been for the soccer team.
