Winterim ·may be cancelled .

by Joan Conrow

J

The thr.ee-week Winterim session apparently will not be offered in the 1980-81 academic year.

"You can point the finger of blame at me in terms of making the decision to cancel it," Michael Howe, vice president of Academic Affairs at MSC said. "But you're ·-pointing it at an administrator q;{ho does not have control of the resources in terms of actual dollars."

Winterim has been offered each January since 1977 when MSC moved to the Auraria cam"pus. It is a short, intensive session where up to six hours of credit may be earned.

Although ihe final decision has not beeu made, Howe said "from every indication I have :tlght now, the resources will not be sufficient to run a ·Winterim."

Howe said funding of MSC for the 1980-81 year had been "cut down substantially by the state ~gislature" because of low enrollm ents last year.

The state funds the school on the number of students enrolled last year, not on the projected enrollments for this year.

Howe said MSC "may receive a supplemental fund" froin the legislature beqlUse enrollments are up "about two percent this fall."

However, according to ''projections'' from the MSC Business and Finance office, the funding will be about a third of the money that is needed to support the extra enrollment, Howe said. ''Our enrollment is high, they'll give us some additional dollars, but those dollars won't be anywhere near the amount to cover the additional enrollment that we have.

"So, what we have to do is scrape and increase the size of our · classses and do all sorts of things to maintain the enrollment ... so that next year our funding will go up so we can have a summer session and a winterim and spring and fall that is not as it is this year," Howe said.

continued from page 1 support all the programs - we _just don't."

Howe said Winterim will be can- celled if the money reserved for the -<- • session is needed to fund the Spring 1981 semester. The college has a "committment" to run the sp"l'ing and fall semesters because the faculty are paid on 10-month contracts, but summer and Winterim require "supplemental contractracts."

"The worst thing in the world, as you can well imagine, is to close a whole bunch of students out in the spring because we offered the Winterim," Howe said.

Howe said although the "concerns" of those students who were planning on ,... Winterim to meet graduation plans, financial aid and veteran's benefit requirements are "important" to him, "we have to cut somewhere on a reduced budget."

"As it was set up originally, we never guaranteed that there would be a ~ Winterim," Howe said. "The schedule was not a statement that said Winterim would be held."

Howe said students would not be able to make up the loss of Winterim during the May mini-term because that session was cancelled last May when the Colorado Commission on Higher Education ordered the three institutions • on the Auraria campus to coordinate their calendars.

However, dates for the May rniniterm were listed in the Fall 1980 schedule of classes, as were dates for the 1981

Winterim session.

Howe said he does not think Winterim is a "bad" program, or one that should be "seen as second rate," but Winterim is ''not part of the full academic program of the institution.'' ''This is a full-year school and we have to plan for it as a full-year school, but you have to understand also that the resources are limited this year," Howe · said. "We don't have enough money to do the things we're supposed to be doing."

Although Winterim will probably be cancelled, Howe said be does not view it as an "expendable program."

"But it's like any other decision making process," Howe said. "One has to decide what in fact one is going to invest the resources in in a certain amount of time."

Howe said student "input" about the cancellation of Winterim is "important" to him, and said it "bothers him gravely that we're not offering it.''

Howe claims he discussed the cancellation of Winterim earlier· this year with student body president Sonny Wasinger and vice president Fred Hopkins "as-an issue, not as a decision."

But Wasinger says "he never talked to me about it.. .he's never even mentioned the word Winterim to me."

Wasinger says his only contact with Howe has been brief and informal.

In a recent meeting with MSC President Donald Macintyre, Wasinger said he asked if there were any policy changes the students should know about.

Macintyre replied ''No, nothing but paper issues."

Different views on Winterini cancellation The possible cancellauon of Winterim was met with mixed reactions by students and faculty.

Dave Knoth, an MSC sophomore said he "was thinking of taking a class in Winterim this year'' because be "messed up" when scheduling his classes for the fall semester.

"I didn't arrange for my minor .and I wanted to take a class to make up for that," Knoth said. "I don't want to be stuck here for more than four years."

Knoth said he thinks Winterirn should be offered. Journalism instructor Greg Pearson disagreed.

"I think it's an academic rip-off,"

Pearson said.

He believes learning is done through a process of "osmosis" and "takes time." He said be has refused to offer classes in the winter session in the past.

But, for Kent Kirkpatrick, an MSC senior, the cancellation of Winterim means . carrying an overload in the spring, or attending summer school.

"They can't do that. That's not fair," said Kirkpatrick after hearing Winterim might not be offered.

He said being able to take classes in Winterim would make "graduation a hell of a lot easier."

AHECnames administrative .director Raul A. Gomez has been appointed Director of Administrative Services for AHEC. As director, he is in charge of the printing, mailing, telephone and parking services on the Auraria campus.

Gomez has a masters degree in counseling and .educational psychology {student personnel services) from the

New Mexico State University, and a master's in Spanish from CSU. Gomez was formerly director of the University Center and Student Housing at the University of Southern Colorado in Pueblo. He also served as assistant to the vice president of student affairs at that school.

Small mistake on form results in long wait , < f

Just how important is all that fine print on financial aid forms?

A single omission or mistake in figuring could cost the student anywhere from an extra wait in line to a whole semester - ask Anita Peterson.

"After waiting 35 years to attend college I go one semester and have to wait again. What a bummer!" said Peterson, temporarily an ex-student.

Finishing the spring 1980 semester with a 3. 77 average, Peterson, 55, was looking forward to the fall. She registered for 17 credits.

But in mid-August she received a letter from the MSC business office acknowledging her departure from school and setting March, 1981 as the date she was to begin paying back her student loan.

Obviously a mistake had been made. Whether it was her vision impairment, deteriorating retina of both eyes, a lack of communication between student and counselor, or just an oversight, the result is the same - she must wait until January, 1981 to return to school.

Lydia Vasquez, director of MSC financial aid, acknowledges that some students will have problems with the forms or waiting in lines for help.

"Call us (629-3043) if there's any problem. We'll make every· effort to send out information. Handicapped students can come right to the front of the line, and we have counselors available to help so no return trip is necessary. " · Workshops also run a few weeks each semester to aid in filling out the forms.

"C2WS Business school has growing pains

by Brian J. Weber

The UCD School of Business is facing many of the same staff and budgetary problems that are hurting comparable institutions - with a few exceptions.

"We (UCD) have by far the lowest cost per student of the University of Colorado system," explained Rex Bennett, Associate Dean of Business. "It doesn't mean we're more efficient. All that means is that we are underfunded."

Bennett believes the original underfu.nding of UCO is at the core of the school's problems.

"Initially, UCD was never funded with a one-time infusion of funds that would be necessary to start a university," Bennett said. "We were an extension center so they (the legislature) just gradually increased the budget."

As a comparison, Bennett cited the start of the University of Southern Colorado where all new facilities and ample funds were available from the beginning. He believes an adequate analysis of what was needed to make UCD a first-rate university was never done.

The lack of sufficient funding is now causing UCD to play catch-up in competing with other schools for faculty and students, Bennett said.

"The salaries and other peripheral benefits we can offer are totally out of

Bennett also said that UCO has submitted a proposal this fall to the legislature to construct some new buildings nearer the Auraria campus. Half of the needed $19 million should come from the sale of the UCD buildings. These will be replacement buildings and will show no real growth, Bennett said.

Though most of the problems plaguing the Business School could apply to other departments, Bennett believes his department deserves more consideration. "In business schools there are an average of four teaching positions available for every teaching candidate," he noted. Because of faculty members leaving for better paying positions, UCO's accounting division is at half strength. Many accounting classes are handled by instructors from private prac-; tice "who are very qualified but who c al cannot devote as much time and effort to ~ the work as a full-time professor can."

Graduates of professional schools Rex Bennett: "It doesn't mean we're more efficient." are in great demand and if the College of line with other states and other univer- tly conducted a survey of similar urban Business is to grow resources will have to sities," he said.

Students_say.AMC mismanaged I

G::-

by William A. Struble "I think it is pretty obvious that there are intense problems at the media center, and that student.input is one of their lowest priorities," Sonny Wasinger, student body president of MSC said Friday at a meeting of Auraria i>'tudent government executives.

The meeting was organized to discuss problems at _the Auraria Media Center.

In an audit of the Auraria Media Center by a consultant firm, he said, reference was made to the fact that ';)there appears to be minimal service for students."

It's time for the student unions to unite in an attempt to change the situation, Wasinger said.

Tbe AMC should be geared towards the needs of students and faculty of the t~ee institutions on campus. " He said a solution would be to have the Auraria Higher Education Center manage the media center, but that Tom Gonzales, CCD vice president and the CC Board who control the center would probably .not go for it. ~'At this time CCD has exclusive management of the media center," Wasinger said. "UCD has exclusive management of the library, and Metro has exclusive management of the P .E. building."

This· agreement was made when Auraria was first built, "Wasinger said.

He said the audit stated the placement of the AMC within CCD was inappropriate since CCD has the smallest enrollment of the three colleges, is the lowest user of AMC, and treats AMC as a low priority. ., About two-thirds of the equipment in the center came from MSC, he said.

Wasinger explained that faculty members such as Tom Cook, director of Speech Communications at MSC ·could only get limited access to the center.

He said Cook wanted to take a class

Otherwise, be said, it's going to stay the same. They will continue to use an authoritative attitude with students and avoid their input. "If Tom Gonzales or Vivian Brockman (director of AMC) will admit it or not they work for the students," he said.

Student Body Presidential Report

Insurance not mandatory In the last article we discussed the Student Health Insurance Program. Due to the fact that there were some newspaper errors, some figures were incorrect.

The average daily cost for health care and stay in a Denver hospital (other than Denver General and CU Medical Center) is $135 and not $35 as was printed in the newspaper. The coverage under our health insurance plan for daily hospital care and stay is on $65 versus the " $135, and this is, obviously, woefully inadequate. More interesting info as well as some conclusions will come out in the next issue of The Metropolitan in this column.

Each semester we, the students, pay student fees which are included in the total tuition amount that we pay the college when we register. The amount in student fees that each of us pays is $38.50. This amount includes • $16.75 which we each pay for the student health insurance; thus, the insurance, which we have already determined to be inadequate, takes up a little over half of our student fees (per individual and therefore, overall). The money that is left goes to several different areas, one of which is the health center, which is separate from the health insurance. I want to make that differentiation clear. You not only pay $-16.75 for the · health insurance, you also pay $8.11 for the health center whether you use it or not!

Here is a complete breakdown of the student fees allocation for MSC this academic year:

Interesting? I should hope so, it's your money and mine. Do you think you should be able to take a vote on each of those areas as to whether or not you would like their allocation increased or decreased next year? Stupid question - of course you would.

Well, I am in the process of trying to set it up so that you can do just that during the registration process for this coming spring semester! The main hang.,up is going to be the computer system on campus. We are going to need the full and generous cooperation of the people down in the admissions and relristration offices in the MSC Administration Building. They can make or break this thing. I'll let you know what they do. I have

already discussed this idea with Don Macintyre, MSC's president and Antonio Esquibel, the vice president of student affairs. Both of them seem to be very supportive and cooperative - talk about a breath of fresh air, huh?

Also, this week and next week, we are going to take a good look at the parking and public safety systems on our campus. We have questions that need clear answers.

Naturally, we won't accept anything less.

Any comments on this article? Let me know. I am always interested in anything you have to tell me. Have a dynamite week!

Student Health Insurance - $335,000.00 - $16.75 per student.

Now you see where your $38.50 in student fees goes, dollar by dollar, and what percentage of .the total goes to whom. Notice that the total amount in the last column adds up to $21.75. That is the amount of student fee money left after you have paid the $16.75 forlhealth insurance. In other words, add up the $21. 75 total for the areas listed (athletics, legal services, etc.) with the $16. 75 for health insurance and you have your total student fees, $38.50, which you paid when you paid tuition. Now, if we take that $16.75 and figure it in l. the same ratio that is used to relate the $21. 75 total in the third column to the $425,000 total in the first column, then that means that the overall total that we dished out for health inusrance is $335,000! Here is the biggy: THE HEALTH INSURANCE IS NOT MANDATORY! You can sign a form in the business office that states you do not want the health insurance and you .... will not have to pay for it! Can you imagine how many thousands of dollars have been spent by students in the past several years, including this one, and they did not need or want the health insurance, but simply did not realize it is not mandatory? Hey, who reads the fme print, right?

Reauthorization of the Higher Education Bill is the single most important issue facing students and institutions of post secondary education today. This bill (HR 5192) will establish policies for all forms of Federal financial assistance to students for the next five years.

Legislation set by Reauthorization of the Higher Education bill will determine who is eligible for financial aid, as well as the amounts and conditions of loans.

A balanced package of student fmancial assistance programs has been designed to meet the needs of both traditional and the increasingly non-traditional students. Administration and paperwork for these programs is streamlined under the bill, which also mandates that institutions provide students with consumer information and establishes a single application form for Federal aid programs, to be processed at no charge to the student. The bill also contains provisions for support of college libraries and an extension of programs for disadvantaged students, including the handicapped, veterans and minority groups.

On Sept. 4, the Senate voted down the conference report on HR 5192 by a vote of 45-43. Sen. Hart voted no and Sen. Armstrong was absent. On Aug. 28 the House passed the report by a vote of 373-16, and earlier this summer the Senate approved its version of the Reauthorization bill by a vote of 92-4.

Opposition to the bill was based almost exclusively on the costs of the student loan programs. Yet, figures recently released by the Congressional Budget Office show a $300 million savings under HR 5192 on student loans for Fiscal Year '81 alone, and a $2.3 billion savings over current policy in a five year period. Further, even the General Accounting Office agrees that eliminating the current Federal deficit of $16 billion to balance the budget would only reduce inflation by twotenths of one percent. Not only is tuition on the rise, but so are the additional costs of education - housing, travel, food, books, and clothing. It is ironic that Congress would consider equitable access to higher education too expensive a cost for this democracy, but when one considers that defense and military-related spending - which consumes more than half of the federal fiscal pie - will be increased by at least five percent this year, the ironic becomes the intolerable. · The Senate is expected to vote on the legislation revising the Higher Education Act again within the week. We can't urge you strongly enough to write your senators and ask their support on this crucial legislation - the education you save may be your own.

Public Opinion Messages may be sent via Western Union for $2 and are delivered overnight. You can also contact your representatives through the Congressional Switchboard (202/224-3121). Letters and messages

should be addressed to: The Honorable Gary Hart, U.S. Senate, Washington, D.C. 20510. More information on Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act may be obtained from the Sept. 4, 1980 issue of the Congressional Record, from your State Student Association, 1220 G Street, SE, Washington, D.C. 20003 or by calling 2021667-6000. Thank you for your help.

For the Students, Doug Tuthill, USSA National Chair I savor freedom of speech, but being subjected to the garbage the health care center presented in your last edition was too much. We've heard propaganda that the health care center serves 25 percent of the student body.

This clinic's count includes repeat visits and biased statistics.

Here's an example: Student "A" first sees a triage nurse, then a nurse practitioner and then possibly is referred to a physician. Student "A" is counted three times and we get the false statistics of three visits!

11Us .center receives more student fees than any other area on campus, approximately $150,000. Other student fee areas are either cut or eliminated as a result.

This center is more of a teaching arena for the nurse practitioner program than a healing center. They have no capability of treating emergencies. Some would say it's no more than a pap smear clinic. I would say a very expensive one. _ _ This center states that because of their existence they can offer ·health insurance at low premiums. I would prefer to have no health insurance than take their's. Do you know that if you h~ve this insurance, show up at an emergency room with an emergency that's not accident related and treated as an out-patient you're not covered, ie. chest pain, asthma, migraine headaches, etc. And if you're admitted you may still , have a large bill waiting for you, b~use you don't have major medical coverage. This center states they can offer us better coverage but it will cost us more. I say if we didn't have to pay for this clinic we could afford adequate coverage. Possibly by lowering the $38.50 we pay in student fees compared to UCD's $7 .00.

We just heard that UCO can use this clinic on a prepaid basis. We're not offered this same priv!Jedge to save student fees because in reality they don't see enough students and they know it. Students, let's get control of our student fees. Please write in. We need a referendum now.

Abe Locker Concerned MSC Student Having just returned from camping near Steamboat Springs, I re-enter civilization with a renewed awareness of how much we have to lose here in Colorado. Above all else, we still have our clear mountain air.

I had forgotten just how deep blue those ·columbine skies could be, how pastel pink the air could become just before sunset, and how many stars could sparlcle in but a small portion of the sky. We tend to assume that mountain air will remain clear, playing down the very real and immediate threats of massive air pollution.

Writers ffght fear -of blank page I

by Carolyn Baird Tears ofstudents are shed Under your cold regard.

Use that ruthless red pen.

Writing has to be hard. · Beat your students with grammar, And then give them a test.

Since that's how you learned it, ,_. Your way must be best.

Ignore those self concepts That came to you battered.

It isn't your problem If someone gets shattered.

Just tell them what's wrong.

Repair all that writing "- And don't stop to wonder What you're really fighting. ~

But what are stereotypic professors fighting with their ruthless red pens?

Terminal illiteracy? Fear of the blank page? If so, perhaps they should put • down their critical weapons and consider a new, more positive approach to teaching writing.

The Writing Center, located in the basement of the English House at 9th Street and Lawrence, has called a truce on grammatical battles, favoring instead ' an approach that allows students to enjoy - instead of fear - the writing process.

According to Sandra Ann Doe, assistant professor and founder and director of the Writing Center, the approach stresses talking aloud about ideas - - and then ''talking on paper,'' or "freewriting" as a means to loosen a student's inner voice.

"The first thing to overcome," Doe said, "is the fear of the blank page, and we do this throujh dialogue with students." Doe stressed the rhetorical nature of ~ ·writing ... that so much depends on audience.

Students are encouraged to "catch some of their brain waves on paper" by freewriting about what they know. This process involves uninhibited non-stop writing for at least 10 minutes a day. The ' students are instructed to write without those familiar editorial ghosts hanging over their shoulders. Without fear of

criticism, success then becomes possible.

Doe said the next step is to examine the writing for "good bits" and then to encourage the students. Parts of the writing that need improvement are not criticized; instead the instructor asks what could be added to make the writing fuller and richer.

But writing errors aren't overlooked.

After the initial creative process, students are asked to keep an "editing guide" of errors they commonly make. This can serve as a checklist against future errors, and with tutorial guidance, can help students correct their grammatical problems.

Then, only after several drafts are made does the writirig move toward a ~ more formal discourse.

Another process stressed at the center is journal keeping. That, too, helps students exercise their creative muscles so ideas can get onto the page. _The center provides an English 190 class in five week modules which may be taken for credit and repeated three times if desired, but students may attend the center without signing up for a class. Individual tutorial assistance is provided if desired. If not, the center also offers a responsive audience for advanced writers.

The center's major text is Lou Kelly's From Dialogue to Discourse: An

There's 路no Place like 路the Pierce

There is no hotel in downtown Denver more decent or as reasonably priced as The Pierce Hotel, 1302 California Street. Its old and humble exterior belies the historical significance of this grand dame of lower downtown.

The Pierce Hotel was built in 1909

by Frances Pierce for the then extravagant price of $40,000.

Mrs. Pierce was the widow of General John Pierce, one of the area's earliest pioneers.

General Pierce arrived in Denver in 1861. His home, originally at 10th and Market Street, was the first frame house

News MSC ·dean stresses urban mission ,

by Tace Hedrick

The offices in room 256 in the West.

Classroom Building are in the throes of birth, bringing to life the newly-formed MSC School of Community and Human Services.

The office of Dr. Gwendolyn Thomas, dean of the new branch, is no exception. As busy as she is, she is yet without a secretary. In spite of this - the overflowing desk, the ringing telephone

- she carries with her an air of infinite enthusiasm.

Dr. Thomas served previously as assistant professor of English at MSC from 1965 to 1973. During that time she became interested in black studies and set up the Afro-American studies program that is being offered at MSC today.

From 1973 to 1980, she earned tenure as an associate professor of English at the University of Denver.

Among her many accomplishments

~----;a,

.. Still Simon after all these years

by Emerson Schwartzkopf Reviewed this week: ONE TRICK PONY/Paul Simon/Warner Brothers HS 3472 - NAUGHTY/Chaka )(ban/Warner Brothers BSK 3385 SWITCHED-ON BRANDENBURGS/Wendy Carlos/Columbia Masterworks M.2X 35895 It may be his first album in five years - and a motion picture soundtrack but it's still the same old Paul Simon.

One ·Trick Pony, Simon's first release since 1975's Still Crazy After All These Years, marks little change from the easy listening style perfected in the Simon ,... and Garfunkel heyday of the 1960s. The music may be a bit too smooth, but it pleases.

Tne premise of Pony (the movie still ·awaits release) is the story of the itinerant musician, the guy always on the verge of hitting the big time. Ordinarily, this would be a rough, jagged tale of ~ depravity. Not so with Simon. . The music for One Trick Pony, in contrast, is slow melancholy, displaying the blue feelings of the road musician without rev~rting to the musical format of the blues. This album is mostly slow, relaxed, and exceptional pop music.

Lyrically, Simon goes with the figure of the average musician; One Trick Pony may lean towards autobiography, but its tone is general, unlike Elton John's more personal Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy.

providing some fresh material for the popular dance market.

Produced by Arif Mardin (who worked to help refine the new Bee Gees sound on Main Course, among others), Naughty pushes a highly danceable beat with Khan's sharp vocals.

Unlike Diana Ross's recent Diana, Khan puts some effort and character into her vocals, giving Naughty a distin-

ctiveness lacking in much of the popular dance music today. And, to eliminate much of the "disco trudge" arrangements on Naughty take on more of a rock sound, with less reliance on orchestral backing.

Naughty can easily be labled discotheque music, but Khan's performance gives the album a boost above the continued on page 15

BETTE HIBLER IS

From the Latin-tinged "Late In The Evening" to the drifting "It's Been A Long, Long Day," Simon guides One Trick Pony through some well-traveled paces offering nothing new or exciting.

Simon's new work, though, is at least appealing. .

Excitement, however, becomes the key element with Chaka Khan's Naughty.

This album moves at a breakneck pace,

~路/Q~c-5楼/L Fabled Fairmont not up to snuff ..

by Lou Chapman

They call it the Moulin Rouge Room of the Fairmont Hotel. 路 It is to Denver night life and topname entertainment what the Denver Center is to theater.

That is, when the people in this audience visit New York City, they don't exactly spend their time riding the subway down to the Village to check out the Strand Used Bookstore or Washington Square.

Anyway, the Fairmont since its opening has had performers like Donald O'Connor and now they are hosting Diahann Carroll. Yes, Diahann Carroll, whom people always seem to remember as a television star (Julia) and don't seem to consider as a stage performer.

The Moulin Rouge Room is swathed in red and the walls are spotted with high vertical mirrors. A hostess takes our name at the door and then a host seats us.

Another man asks us if we would like drinks. We order a round and the drinks are then brought by our waitress.

She has a voice like Carol Channing.

We don't see her much the rest of the night. It's part of the system here. But while trying to relax, we lose track of who is supposed to brin.&.JlS what and whom we should ask for corrections or changes.

At times, the employees also seem to lose coordination of their efforts.

The drinks are brought soon enough. Scotch on the rocks and a glass of chablis. Actually, the chablis is brought in its own bottle, which has a Fairmont label even though the wine is bottled by Almaden. We don't complain - we didn't order from the wine list.

Between the time the drinks arrive and the time the waiter returns with our menus, we relax, chat, inspect the room.

Very nice. Very comfortable.

It is red, as mentioned, with mirrors - the vertical ones - behind chandeliers. Large paintings roam up and around the walls. The artwork seems to have been done with Toulouse--Lautrec in mind.

The silverware is gold-colored and the tables have these cute little lamps with beautiful square-edged shades. The lamps burn very smoothly and we wonder where is the electrical cord or on-off switch. But they are lit inside, by candles.

Very nice.

On our table, like at the front desk, is a folded little card like a large business card: Entertainment Charge, $10 Per Person.

The man who brought the drinks, brio2s the menus 20 minutes -later. Thevlist all the usual good stuff carried by

continu~d from page 14 her potent voice and charisma with modern standards such as fluff by Barry ManHow. But even with these,路 she picks the lesser known songs, the ones that obviously mean something to her and, again;it shows.

She does a Kenny Rogers tune, We Don 'C Make Love Anymore, as if it came out of the horn of Charlie Parker or from

the pen of Billie Holiday.

And she talks with her audience. She doesn't just prattel anti 路make small talk.

You believe her. She is open. She probably shocked a large bit of the crowd with her frankness 路about her broken love life and her definition of love as "giving somoone permission to hurt you, which isn't always good ... but if you never give someone that permission, then you never feel anything, and that's worse."

Snappy Brandenburgs usual popular dance fare. Naughty is for both the ears and the feet.

Dances of a different sort than the Freak or the Bus Stop show up on Switched-On Brandenburgs, Wendy Carlos's collection of J.S. Bach's famed concertos. The steps may belong to the genteel minuet, but Carlos' work is distinctly contemporary.

In the late 1960's, Carlos worked on the still-infantile Moog electronic sound synthesizer in recording Switched-On Bach, the largest selling classical album ever. With Bach (and subsequent works), Carlos used the new, variable sounds of the synthesizer to produce unique interpretations of traditionally orchestral pieces.

Switched-On Brandenburgs shows the progression of both Carlos and the synthesizer during the last decade. From the Third Concerto (released in 1968) to the new recordings of the First, Second, and Sixth Concertos, both the artist and

continued from page 13 her instrument exhibit a growing maturity and excellence.

Since Switched-On Bach, the synthesizer evolved into a more complex instrument, with polyphonies providing more variations in the electronic reproduction of sounds.

Carlos, for her part, uses the improved synthesizer to recreate the sounds of certain instruments --:- and creates new electronic voices to blend into Bach's works. The highlight of this unusual mixture is the second movement of the First Concerto, where the smooth electronic interpretations produce an airy, sensual sound to this bit of adagio.

In the liner notes, Carlos notes her hopes for synthesizer music expanding into its own fields, beyond just new insights into old works. With Switched-On Brandenburgs, Carlos shows what can be done wijb electronic music interpretation and proves herself a hard act to follow.

loves it.

We didn't stay for the second show or coffee or dessert.

Perhaps it is to Diahann Carroll's tribute that after her performance, we didn't want to deal anymore with the myril\d of persons waiting on us, serving us, trying to please us in a room called the Moulin Rouge in a hotel called the Fair-

mont where the limousines are parked out front.

We just wanted to get some fresh air, be alone for a few minutes, and think about what bad just knocked us for a mild loop ... and I don't mean the doublecased silver bowl that held our little fruit cups.

~~~ 'The Incorrigible' swindles laughs .I

I

by Emerson Schwartzkopf

THE INCORRIGIBLE/starring JeanPaul Belmondo and Genevieve Bujold/written by Michael Audiard/directed by Philippe DeBroca/at The Flick, Larimer Square.

The Incorrigible, unfortunately, brings to mind a deadly four-word combination in cinema: charming little French farce.

GEORGE BURNS

It would be nice if this 1975 comedy looking to pull another scam - even afdirected by Philippe DeBroca (That Man ter a recent three-month stint in prison.

From Rio, King of Hearts) could tran- Genevieve Bujold is the prudish parole scend such a cliche judgement. For all its ·officer attempting reformation of the excellence, though, The Incorrigible stays thief, but finding herself romantically inwithin the lines of predictable French volved instead. And then there's the matcomedy. ter of this El Greco in a museum, ripe for The story of The Incorrigible is light- the taking ...

This is pretty old ground, with the weight; Jean-Paul Belmondo depicts a friendly, fast-talking con man always usual accompanying cast of buffoonish criminals and stupid, stuffy French bureaucrats.

Off screen, DeBroca 's direction provides the uplift for The Incorrigible.

DeBroca paces the film at a hurried clip, keeping the visuals fresh and funny.

DeBroca also shows his knowledge, in The Incorrigible, of comedy's extend - i.e., how far to go with a joke. Humor overdone goes from wit to slapstick to stupid; DeBroca maintains a balanced humor throughout the film.

For example, at a classical recital, Belmondo makes his way through a row of the audience in mid-performance, making a nuisance of himself. DeBroca is careful to get the maximum effect from this hilarious bit, ending the scene before the joke goes stale.

DeBroca's direction is accentuated by the cast's performance, in particular Jean-Paul Belmondo. Belmondo is the speed-charged scoundrel, the man to sell you his mother and make everyone happy

with the deal. Belmondo moves as fast (if not faster) than DeBroca's pacing, keeping the humor punchy.

Belmondo's performance is finely offset by Genevieve Bujold's parole officer, a tight-lipped diletante charmed by Belmondo. Her sometimes pristine, sometimes innocent, and soll'letimes gullible character become the straight line for Belmondo's absurdity. · If the Incorrigible contains one serious drawback for non-French audiences, it's apparent from the first spoken lines: sub-titles. A great compensation for this, though, is in the overall acting in the movie; facial expressions, overexaggerated movements, and vocal inflections pass on a humor of universal understanding.

The disappointment of The- Incorrigible, in general, is the lack of anything new. Even with five years of age, the film is straight screwball comedy, circa late 1930s and Cary Grant.

The style is Hollywood adaptation, rather than French innovation.

Still, The Incorrigib"/e is great •. comedy in a near-perfect production.

However cliched, the story of the lovable criminal stays crisp through the film with a de(med wit and sharp acting. It may have been done before, but perhaps never as well, and as funny.
