WELCOME BACK STUDENTS No brewery in history has ever brewed this much beer in this little time. A single year.

Think how much beer that really is.

It's 2 billion, 755 million si)(-packs.

It's so much beer that it would fill the Superdome. To the rim. In fact. it's enough beer to serve half a six-pack to every person in the world.

Naturally. we're proud of our accomplishment. But we know we couldn't have done it without you. The consumer .. . and the retailer.

From the start, we've brewed our beers without shortcuts. Without compromising. "Somebody still cares about quality" has been our watchword. And thanks to your support, it always will be.

So Anheuser-Busch and our family of wholesalers wish to offer our sincere thanks to each of you. Not only have you made us number one for 24 consecutive years, you've made this 50 million barrel achievement a reality.

t4ews Nordby returns to UCD .

by ·Joan Conrow

•

His·career has come full circle.

Gene M. Nordby-a teacher of night classes at UC-Boulder's Denver Center 30 years ago-officially became the Chancellor of UCD on December 1.

Nordby, most recently vice president for Administration and Finance at the Georgia Institute of T.echnology, succeeds Harold Haak, who resigned in January 1980 after seven years as UCO chancellor.

"It's good to be back" Nordby said.

"Denver and Colorado are not new to me."

However, much bas happened to him in those 30 years. Nordby-a selfdescribed "gadfly"-was, at the University of Oklahoma, vice president for Administration and Finance, dean of the College of Engineering, and professor of L Aerospace, Mechanical, and Civil • Engineering.

He also held positions at the University of Arizona, George Washington University, University of Minnesota and the National Science Foundation, besides his six years at the University of Colorado!.. Boulder.

In short, he's bad "every experience possible in the academic world.'' ''Academic experience, administrative experience, and federal experience are all essential parts of being an administrator at a college," Nordby said.

,...

One thing hasn't changed at UCD in 30 years, however. Nordby said he is still "very pleased with the students."

Nordby, an instructor in civil engineering at Boulder's Denver extension in the 1950's, said UCO students were "the best in the. classroom. They recognize the value of an education."

His enthusiasm for the students basn 't dimmed over the years. While he believes they are UCD's "greatest strength," he still bas a great deal of respect for the faculty.

"I have a bright faculty who put their entire lives into this," Nordby said.

"That's the difference in being a university administrator-you have the brightest group of associates of any kind of institution.'

Nordby believes it is important to work with the faculty, to "bring focus to their ideas." He thinks his role is "not to stimulate ideas, but sort out the best" from all those presented.

He also thinks cooperation, and working hard, is important to make the idea of the Auraria complex work.

However, Nordby does not generally support the idea of a merger between MSC and UCD. He believes, however, it will happen if "the powers that be" want it to.

The chancellor feels there is a difference between UCO and MSC students-"at least people perceive a difference that may be valid, I don't know." Nordby

Sal'd •

In keeping with belief in cooperation between the three schools at Auraria, Nordby supports the construction of a new building for UCD on the west side of Cherry Creek. . . .

"It's essential to get the new bulldmg if we want to make this Auraria thing work," Nordby said. "We have to make joint facilities accessible to the students."

But, despite Nordby's involvement with the Auraria complex, he is still most concerned about the specific problems UCD will be facing in the future.

He said he is trying to cope with

enrollment growth, although he sees the growth as positive-evidence that UCJ? is teaching "in the right areas, the growing professional areas." Nordby said the future will bring increased demands on u· , the school's resources because it s more economical tQ get a quality education here, and we're located in the hub of the state."

Nordby also worries about keeping his faculty because salaries offered in the professional fields "are far outpacing our ability to keep up. There are trem~ndous industry demands on these kind of people." . .

"It's difficult to keep quality faculty m the areas of highest demand," said Nordby, refCrring to UCD's popular continued on page S

All is not ·quiet on ·the legislative front I

•

By Frank Mullen During the 1978-79 legislative sessions some lawmakers took a long ·1ook at the '_'Auraria experiment" and started acting hke Transylvania Villagers faced with the work of Dr. Frankenstein.

At the Statehouse, bills-creating new institutions, merging MSC and UCO creating new governing boards and abolishing old ones-were skittering off the presses like German currency at the end of World War I. The Joint Budget Committee was in the orocess of using a meat axe to "trim" higher education budgets while Governor Richard Lamm warned faculty and administrators of ''a crisis in higher education," brought about by rapidly declining enrollments, the state limitation on spending and the climbing inflation rate.

Auraria, where three institutions were lumped together like a trio ' of hungry hamsters in a foodless cage, was put. under the state's sunset provision and there was a chance the "noble. experiment" might share the fate of the wooly mammoth, which has not been seen in Colorado for some time.

Things have changed since that tumultuous session of the Oefleral Assembly, but colleges are still public schools, and decisions made during this legislative session will be more subtle and

yet have a profound impact upon higher ec!_ucation and its students.

Enrollments are back on the upswing.

Auraria has survived the sunset and most of the managment trouble spots have been consolidated under one of the in~titutions or the Auraria Board. The ideas for ~reat sweeping changes seem to have left the Statehouse along with Senator Hugh Fowler, the former chairman of the Senate Education Committee.

Fowler retired last year.

But all is not quiet on the legislative front.

Commentary The conservatives are still in power on the JBC and the education committees.

The seven percent limitation on state spen.ding increases and the community colleges are still f;lcing declining . enrollments while the " redirection" plans-which legislators hoped ·would send students to the schools which needed them-has not been working.

The key words in this session of the Legislature will be "cost effectiveness" and "accountability," as institutions and other state agencies scramble to prove they are giving the taxpayers a substancial return for their educational dollar.

Auraria falls into the cost effective category, as shown by figures compiled by the Auraria Board and released to ttie House Education Committee at an informational session held on January 14.

Auraria's combined headcount totals 27 ,069, as compared with UC Boulder at 21,878, Colorado State University at 18,083, and the University of Northern Colorado at 10,830. · The most populus campus in the state gets along with less square feet per student than any other major institution and Auraria has a greater student faculty ratio than any of the others. The combined institutions boast 19.9 students to one faculty member, while U .C. Boulder has 17.3, CSU has 16.5 and the University of Northern Colorado has 18. 7.

The three Auraria institutions also have less on-campus costs per student than UCB, UNC and CSU. Clearly the lawmakers will have trouble slicing fat from Auraria, although it is certain the JBC will carefully examine every line of the campus' budgets.

Aside from the bills introduced so far other changes in higher education may b~ made during this legislative session. The areas of discussion include: FTE. Currently education budgets are calculated on the basis of Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) students. These figures are artificial numbers, calculated on the basis that every 15 credit hours equals one FTE student. The formula has long been a sore point to colleges, who maintain that a part-time student, who may take from 1to14 hours at an institution is still capable of using the same amount of student services as a student enrolled for 15 hours.

T~e shortfalls of the FfE syst~m can readtly be _seen at Metropolitan State College, where the student headcount for 1980 was 14,464 while the appropriated continued on page 11

By Frank Mullen The Colorado Commission on Higher Education voted January 5 to approve "as consistant with UCD's role and mission" a $19.5 million capital construction project for new University of Colorado at Denver buildings on the Auraria campus.

The proposed buildings would replace approximately 249,000 square feet of UCO space now used by the University on the east bank of Cherry Creek. The existing buildings, the Tower and the East Classroom, will be sold by the Regents, with the money going toward new construction.

The CCHE took no action on other staff recommendations concerning Auraria-including a controversial proposal to transfer the governance of the Auraria Media Center from the Community College of Denver-Auraria to the Library, governed by UCO. CCHE staff was highly critical of the Media Center, stating it has spe::it nearly $1.5 million from taxes and student fees during the past four years "but still cannot guarantee the performance of its most basic duties.'' ''Combining the Media Center and the Library seems to be a common configuration," said Frank Armijo, of the CCHE staff. "But that is a preliminary recommendation . .. it could change."

Other staff recommendations, which will be finalized in early February, included: • ''~ more balanced set of residency requirements between UCD . and Metropolitan State College that preserves

Scholarship

l academic freedom and yet encourages course options for students." Currently students who "cross register" at UCO and MSC are faced with more liberal requirements at Metro, while the University restricts many upper division hours. .

• "A set of consistent, rigorou~ pr<?cedures for applying for graduate appomtmen ts (at UCO) together with specific evaluation criteria." The report · noted, "generally MSC faculty have found it extremely difficult to get graduate appointments (at UCO. Part of • the problem is caused by the reluctance of some UCO departments to even consider MSC faculty for such appointments.''

• A "Commop set of time blocks" for classes at UCO and MSC. Presently Metro holds 50 minute classes on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday or a Tuesday- .,,, Thursday format. UCO now holds 75 minute classes on a Monday-Wednesday or Tuesday-Thursday schedule. · • A suggestion for better Friday space utilization at UCD. Since UCD has classes only four days a week, much of the university space is empty on Friday. The staff report stated the problem would be solved once common time blocks (between MSC and UCO) are decided upon.

Armijo said the staff is in the process of reconsidering the recommendations made at the January 5 meeting and the CCHE will probably vote on the final proposals sometime in early February.

"After that," he said, "the ball will be in the legislature's court.••

was also listed, and students could indicate if each activity should receive more or less funding, or if the funding should remain the same. And, students were able to vote on whether or not fees should be increased, Wasinger said.

Students were also asked if the Health Center should be abolished. Wasinger said only the Health Center was singled out for this question because it receives the largest portion of student fee monies.

The ballot also gave stud.eats a chance to vote on upgrading the health insurance, he said.

Students are being given the opportunity to indicate how they would like their fee monies spent in a referendum sponsored by the Associated Students of MSC. ,,.. "Since it's the student's money, they should have a say in how it's spent," said Sonny Wasinger, ASMSC president.

Wasinger and Fred Hopkins, former ASMSC vice president, initiated the referendum in an attempt to better represent the student body, according to ~ Wasinger.

However, Nordby said he keeps telling the legislature "If you starve the schools, we can't produce an)'. more of what you (society) need the most."

As UCD chancellor, Nordby's contacts aren't limited to the Colorado Legislature, AHEC, or his faculty members. He's also got CU-Boulder to con· tend with.

"We grew out of Boulder, ·we're still growing,. and we have all the problems of growth. We can't expect to be equal immediately," said Nordby to the reference of UCD being the "stepchild" of UCB. _"we have good relations with Boulder-but there is always some strife in any family.''

.,,..- Currently, the more than $300,000 in student fee monies is allocated each spring by the Student Affairs Committee-a group comprised of six elected students and two appointed faculty. The money comes from the $38.50 (including the student health insurance) that is 'collected from each full-time student upon registration. Part-time students taking less than IO hours pay $2.50 per credit hour, which does not include the insurance.

Wasinger said that "without student input" the SAC is "not properly l......,,..epresenting the students," so he initiated the referendum to give students a chance to express their views.

The referendum ballot-sent to most students with their registration confirmation, but still available to those who walk-in registered or did not receive a ' -rballot in the mail- listed all the activities supported by student fees, according to Wasinger. "Each activity was allowed to write a little sales pitch about themselves," Wasinger said. .

Wasinger said the referendum is running smoothly and quite a few ballots have been returned, although he has no exact figures. The MSC administration has agreed to abide by the results of the referendum if 25 percent of the student body responds, according to Wasinger.

"I can guarantee you 25 percent will respond," Wasinger said. "We will not settle for less than 25 percent."

However, the SAC is not constitutionally bound to consider the results of any referendum when allocating student fee monies.

But, said Wasinger, "If the members of the SAC do not wish to do what the students want, their motives for being on the SAC are questionable.''

Although no deadline has been set for ballots to be returned, Wasinger said, "We want to have the results in to the SAC before they start their allocations."

Wasinger said a promotional campaign is planned to encourage students to respond. "If it takes us 'till March we'll keep trying. We want to shoot for 8,000 votes. '' Students must put their social security

Student Body Presidential Report Welcome back! Can you believe this incredible weather? One thing for sure: it makes going to school easier, no getting up and scraping windshields or getting your battery jumped or slipping on the ice. However, if you're into winter sports then you are getting the short end of the deal. Whatever your feelings about the weather, though, I hope you had a fine holiday season.

I would like to congratulate Fred Hopkins on the great success you are having in your business, but I say, Fred, it certainly makes a dent in the student government. We'll miss you. I feel that you will miss us, too, but I know that what you are doing is very important for your future. You were an outstanding Student Body Vice-President who put solid doses of honesty, integrity, enthusiasm and intelligence into your position. I could not have chosen a better man for the job and I want you to know that I love you as a brother and I always will.

Loring Crepeau, who was Chief of Staff last semester, will replace Fred as Vice President. Pattie Goodman will replace Loring as Chief of Staff. I offer my congratulations to both of you and look forward to a semester of highly productive representation of the students. I know that you will do a fine job as·both of yo1• care very much about the students of MSC. We have over 70 percent of our budget left and we intend to spend it all this semester. If we do not spend all of it, then the remaining amount will go to the Colorado State Government and they wilt put that money into anything their little hearts desire. This means that we will concentrate on some special events for you. I still believe very strongly that a campus life is important as sidekick to a good education.

As last semester, we will be very active politically this semester. This is very important. Proper representation of the students means we must have our finger in every pie-our words in every decision-making process. · In order to do this we need more and more student involvement in the things happening on campus. First, . this means that if you have not yet voted on the student fees referendum, then get your rear in gear and do it.

You will be '<loing your fellow students a favor by putting in your two cents worth. Each of us pays $38.50 a semester in student fees. Now, with the referendum, each of us can say how he or she wishes this money to be allocated. Your student government will be pushing this referendum in your face this coming month. Please don't be a jerk and ignore it. Tell that Student Affairs Board how you want your money spent!

Then, after you've done that, go up to the student govenment office (Room 340 in the Student Center) and

The Executive Council has decided to hold the Student Government Elections in February instead of later in the semester. This will allow more time for budgetary hearings· and will provide for a better transition period between the incoming and outgoing members of the Executive Council.

Since you are reading this column, you must have at least a minor interest in the workings of our Student Government and, if you are a UCO student, perhaps you should give some thought to running for a position on the Executive Council.

Well, let me try to tell you.

As a member of the Executive Council you would be custodian of $125,000 in student activity fee monies.

Letters I am angry after two months because I had two particularly boring classes that should have been interesting. When I pay tuition for any class, I expect that the professor will present ideas in a stimulating manner in a non-monotone voice. Anyone can find information in books.

I believe that this letter is a futile exercise because the very people that this applies to will think it is directed elsewhere.

AYEAR OUT OF COWCiE,

ANDA STRAUSS IS MAKING AVIATION HIS IORY IN THE ARMY. "I got into ROTC really just to see what it was all about. For me, it all couldn't have \Vorked out better."

Army ROTC got Anda Strauss off to a grn)d start. Maybe it can do the same for you. To find out, stop by your Army ROTC office o n campus.

And begin yuur future as an officer.

'Tm being assigned to a Chinook helicopter unit in Germany as a test pilot and maintenance officer, and I'm proud that I'll be the first woman to have that assignment over there. It's a real thrill for me.

"So was learning how to fly a helicopter. It takes a lot more skill than an airplane. If you think college is demanding, flight school is even tougher. It's not only academically demanding, it's really mentally demanding as well as physically.

"In Germany, I'll have a chance to use some of the leadership and management techniques I learned in ROTC. It's going to be a real challenge having command responsibilities.

The six-month absence without pay is subject to approval by the Board of Trustees at the January 29 meeting. McCoy, who has been Maclntyre's special . assistant for urban affairs for the past year , has accepted a position in Washington, D.C. McCoy will serve as assistant to the Executive Director of the Su erintendent

of Schools, where he will be working primarily with parent/school relations.

According to Macintyre, McCoy left for Washington in early January. Macln: tyre said McCoy is "well known as an educator in Washington, D.C., and has_ many, many contacts there. " Macintyre said he believes McCoy did not apply for the position, but was "contacted directly Macintyre said that although "the option will certainly be open" for McCoy to return to his position at MSC, the subject would be discussed " when the time comes." o II

r VP resigns tor career l Citing the desire to commit himself fully to his insurance business, Fred Hopkins, vice president of Associated Students of MSC, resigned December 18.

In his letter of resignation Hopkins, who was elected to a one-year term in May 1980, said he planned to attend school only part-time in the Spring semester . The ASMSC constitution requires the vice president to be a fulltime student.

Hopkins, who needs only six credit hours to graduate, said that rather than take " extraneous" hours to maintain full-time status, he had "opted to go 100 percent" with his business, and so was resigning his position.

"The 10 people within my organization require my committment to their initial and ongoing training," Hopkins said of his insura nce business . "I must be available to answer their needs and to keep them motivated so they may truly discover whether or not they can make it in this business. To that end, I have made myself available to organization 24 hours a day, every day: . .

Blindness no obstacle for Allen

The text books were not in way of life. braille and it was difficult to get people to Sometimes, Allen said , the other help her read. · children would hit her and then run into •'There were no support services like the street, knowing she wasn't allowed to .there are at this school, " she said. play in the street. Her mother silently watched. Once when this happened, She also tried using a cane that first Allen caught her assailant and before he year at college but for some reason, the could escape she retaliated. Her mother mobility instructor never completed the cheered her on and the other children course. Allen was never taught how to never picked on her again, she said. cross a busy street, so she couldn't

depend.on the use of the cane.

"I think everyone needs encouragement to succeed," she said. At that point in her life she didn' t get that support.

Shortly thereafter, however, her family encouraged her to get a guide dog and her sister helped her complete the necessary application.

It took four months to be accepted.

Applicants are given a physical and are interviewed in their home. The interviewer checks to see how well the applicant gets around the house and determines whether the applicant can properly care for a dog.

After being accepted, Allen lived in a San Francisco dormitory for a month with other people who were getting guide dogs. During the training period new dog owners practiced with their dogs on city streets and buses, through parks and woods, and even through Chinatown where food and noise might• distract a dog.

Judge, a golden retreiver, was chosen for Allen and for seven years he was a good worker she said. He worked up until the day he died and, though he had cancer of the liver, Allen never knew it until the vet informed her that it was too late to help him. Returning to guide dog school, Allen was given Amos, another golden retreiver, who is still her constant companion.

The secretary to the director of Disabled Students Services at Auraria may be blind, but there's nothing wrong ,..._with her perception.

In the central classroom building, room 108, Sharon Allen does what secretaries everywhere do. She types, files, answers the phone and takes messages. But Allen is blind, and that makes her special.

"Being blind is not a handicap, it's an inconvenience," said Allen in her --~~ -~~~ typically philosophical way.

She has overcome many inconveniences in her life and with_the help of various mechanical devices she conquers barriers that sighted secretaries never give a t._ second thought.

The most important device she uses for secretarial duties is an optacon-an electronic mechanism that enables a blind person to read printed material by touch. ''You can't imagine how many doors this opens, " Allen said. ::_ The optacon consists of a tiny camera about the size of a match box which the reader passes over the printed page.

The index finger of the left hand is placed in a box connected to the camera on a concave finger plate.

Tiny metal rods protruding through _g ~oles in the plate vibrate independantly, ~ converting the image of printed letters in- § to tactile images. In other words, the let- a: L--""------L--~~~:,__ _ _...!..l...__.........=._:...__..i_-L~-.'"'------' continued on page 11 ters can be felt.

Allen went to Palo Alto, California to be trained to operate the machine. Participants were required to practice ,;tJ eading with the optacon at least an hour each night, but Allen said she read four · or five hours a night.

Later, the harmful effect of too much oxj'gen was discovered.

Growing up in Long Beach, California, Allen attended public schools ~ _j)ecause her father didn't want to break up the family and she said that had its advantages.

One advantage was that because her teachers couldn't read braille, and she had to do homework just like everyone else, Allen was taught to type at the age -.,.of eight. She had been reading braille since she was six.

News Bookstore aims tor convenience I

by Terron Hutt We're already just about through with the first month of the New Year, we have a new President, our former hostages are back in the States from the Iranian crisis, it's the beginning of Spring semester, and we have a new addition to the Auraria Student Center.

Located in the Student Center lower corridor is the book center convenience store.

The convenience store -an outlet of the book store- will stock basic school supplies, · paperbacks, sundries, magazines, tobacco, and candy as well.

The copy center will re-open in the. store with improved service capability.

The store will also be the new center for purchasing RTD monthly passes and tokens. Exchanges and book refunds will be handled in the convenience store.

The store, .with a $30,000 construction

budget, will complete its clean up process with minor touch-ups in appearance and lighting during the beginning of the semester.

"In·order for the store to live up to the name we have to find out what students want,• ' said John Turk, book store manager. ''We will keep adding items from this response.''

A " want list" will be posted at the cash

registers for student suggestions.

This ongoing stocking, coupled with the store's extended hours (which are the same as the Student Center's) should strengthen the business of the center and iulfill student needs, according to Turk. ....,

ASMSC election results The results of the student government elections held at the end of last term have been announced.

Elected to the Student Affairs Com· mittee are Leslie Morehead, 99 votes; Katie Linaris, 72 votes; and Emerson Schwartzkopf, 57 votes. The Student Affairs committee allocates student fees to campus clubs and organizations.

The Curriculum Committee, which is responsible for student input concerning the curriculum of the college, has three new members.

David Travis, 69 votes, is the representative of the science and mathematics department. Julie Mueller, with six writein votes, will represent the business department and Neal Harlan, with two write-in votes, will represent the

humanities department.

The engineering technology and the professional studies seats were not filled so the president of student government, J. with the majority approval of the joint committee, will appoint those representatives.

Dance classes offered .

The Colorado State Ballet offers day and evening classes in Modern Dance, Ballet and Dancercize for adults and children.

All classes are taught by a professional dance staff. The Ballet is located at 1412 Wazee Street in Denver.

Proposals exist for alternatives to the " FTE system and the lawmakers will be hearing some of them in the coming months.

Financial Aid. Hardcore conservatives have never liked the idea that financial aid grants, which are unrecoverable, pay the way for many students of all ages.

Some changes may be made in the financial aid system this session. Proposals range from having need-based students rely more on loans and less on grants, to setting an age limit for need-based student aid.

Access. The smaller community colleges in the less populated areas of the state are suffering stagnant or declining enrollments. If these institutions are not judged to be "cost effective," will some be forced to close their doors or change their educational roles? If changes are made in these institutions, what will be the impact on the students who are currently attending, or would have attended, these institutions?

Martin Sheen Is Captain Willard, a special forces officer who Is sent on a delicate secret mission to kill Colonel Kurtz (Marlon (Marlon Brando). Kurtz Is an American officer who has set himself up as a god among the natives and is running the war his own way.

Russell alters 'States' brilliantlyby Emerson Schwartzkopf

-

ALTERED STATES/starring_William Hurt, Blair Brown, Bob- Balaban, and Charles Haid/written for the screen by Sidney Aaron/from the novel by Paddy Chayefsky/ produced by Howard Gottfried/ directed by Ken Russell/ a Warner Brothers release.

Altered States is one of those movies made in spite of themselves. First, the original director (Arthur Venn) leaves . during the early stages of production.

Ken Russell, whose name became synonymous with box office disaster in the late seventies, takes over the direction. Russell's work then infuriates screenplay writer Paddy Chayefsky, who takes his name off the movie's dialogue and uses his given name ''Sidney Aaron."

All ·of this should. add up to chaotic failure. Instead, Altered States appears as a tremendous beginning to the year in movies, and sets a mark that other movies this year will be hard-pressed to equal.

Altered States succeeds because of three things: subject, intent, and Russell himself. In some movies, theme and personnel manage to get along; with States, there's nothing short of mutual . coexistance.

Altered States takes on an area held in wonder by society for the last 15 years-the drug culture. Unfortunately, drug mo'(ies have been only trendy garbage such as The Trip, or preacngobblety-gook designed to scare potential drug users. (Mary Jane, a hideous vehcile starring Fabian, is particularly infamous.)

- States, however, looks at one offshoot of the psychedelic era: serious scientific investigation. To some, the mind-altering drugs of LSD and peyote are not recreational pauses, but gateways to better understanding of the human psy~he.

Altered States focuses on these persons-the scientists-and how working with drugs affect their lives.

With this States sidesteps the question of "are drugs corrupting our youth?" and moves into the area of what the drugs can do. For some, drugs are a form of relaxation, of better living through chemh;:als. In Altered States, however, a Harvard psychologist (William Hurt) uses drugs (psilocybe mushrooms) and a salt-water sensory deprivation tank to probe his own mind- and hopefully find the "ultimate truth" of life.

This scientific use of psychedelics eliminates the often used threat of authority clamping down on users (the big bust), but instead opens up into a

dramatic study of effects on the mind.

Like 2001: A Space Odyssey in reverse, Altered States probes the power of the human brain, and what contents mindexpanding drugs reveal.

And, here is where Ken Russell shows his brilliance. Though to be one of film's brightest directors in the early 1970s, Russell's fame ebbed later in the decade.

____________________________......

Russell, always known for visual excess.went overboard in 1976 with Lisztomania, an excruciating biography loosely centered around composer Franz Liszt ..

Russell's return to the screen with Altered States, however, shows his tlasi.£__ talents as a filmmaker remain in excellent shape. Instead of inserting obscure symbolic features, Russell channels his creative excess into the visualizatioqs of Hurt's drug-induced stat.es. The reswt is a chain of logical progressions into the theory of common huinan memory-Hurt's "ultimate truth"-tha~­ alternately fascinate and terrify.

Russell also makes good use of the drug sequences by making the effect less predictable with each drug intake. The result is a replay of the •'Exorcist rule'' of visual screen terror; the viewer doesn't,_ want to see what happens when a door is opened (or a drug taken), but they still intently look.

And, Russell · intertwines the psycholgist's search for truth with an underlying story of Hurt's relationship with his wife (Blair Brown). Masterfullyi4-, Russell gradually increases the importance of this love story to play a subtle-but ultimately major-part in the plot.

Russell also attempts to keep the story visual, skirting lengthy scenes of trying to explain everything in States. When the scientists speak, the dialogue is a fast_ mumble; the techinical terms and conversations remain a mystery to viewers, but the complicated jargon is secondary to Russell's style in this movie.

The accent on visual interpretation, however, works to the detriment of Altered States. The movie leaps from . . event" td event; in one scene, Hurt and Brown make passionate first love on a living room couch, and in the next scene have two small children a few years under the belt, and a maritial crisis. The bridges between actions in States are weak, and shake the factual bases th~ movie needs.

More disturbing,. however, is Russell's detachment from serious conclusions with Altered States. The amazing sights on the screen may orovide a somewhat vica1;ious peek of zooming into • ~~--···········"!-conlinileaon p~ge 19y

1980: the best from a bad year Since the middle of last month MetroStyle · critics S. Peter Duray-Bito and Emerson• Schwartzkopf have reviewed the album output of 1980. The following is their final conversation, where they list THE METROPOLITAN's First Annual Record Review.

P: Well, lining up the top albums of 1980, I think overall it was a pretty grim year.

E: I think it was abyssmal.

P: Acrimonious. Let's start off with some of the things that may be good. I think we both agree the Pretenders put out the number one album of the year (The Pretenders).

Jo. E: Yes. Chryssie Hynde is all everything this year-the first female performer to come out in a long time that isn't from the school of "I'm really tender, but don't break my heart to I'll bust your ass." She's very down to earth, more of a performer, and she wrote almost all the '--- songs on this album. I think almost everyone's heard "Brass In Pocket."

P: Yes, and the album has a lot more than "Brass In Pocket." It's the most .top 40 song they've done, but they do so many things on this album. They start off with a real punk rock rhythm, then they ,........ float into a 8/8-7/8 time signature, and then they go into the Sixties "Stop Your

Sobbing" bit with what's-his-name . ..

E: Nick Lowe.

P: The reggae beat they do . . . the backup band is excellent, drummer, bass guitar, everything is perfectly executed, and there's some of1.he best arrangements in rock this year. I have some trepidations about their follow-up album (scheduled for March 1, 1981), but the Pretenders is an excellent choice for this year's top album.

E: It came out in late January, and nothing came along to surpass it. · P: Let's take a look at the second choice, Yellow Magic Orchestra: a rather fascinating album in many ways. The

time I heard it, what came into my mind were the spaghetti westerns that Clint Eastwood did. You get that feeling from the album, that Ennio Morricone score of wide-openness and interspersed rhythms.

It has a basic disco beat floating through it, but they do a lot of interesting things.

E: To explain to persons not knowing what the Yellow Magic Orchestra is, they're three fellows from Japan specializing in electronics, and synthesized music. What fascinated me

music you just can't define.

P: It's a different interpretation of a lot of things, and it may -be due to their (Japanese) background, but some of the . .. I like that cheesecake feeling they put into their spaghetti westerns, with the Marlboro man theme on the second side ("Multiplies"). Just that kind of a thing-it's refreshing.

E: It's hard to explain until you hear it.

It's probably the album that I have played for the most persons who (both) enjoy it and bought it. It seems to reach everybody, but it's not for those who like Barry Manilow.

P: Well, we don't want to cater to the Lawrence Welk crowd. Steely Dan is our third choice (Gaucho)-a good album.

These people are consistent; ever since Day One in 1972, they've been putting . out excellent albums. Perhaps a more mellow album than Aja, with more Carribean type feeling from the album.

We must agree, though, the album has something to do with Sol!thern California.

E: It has a lot to do with Southern California-in fact it all has references to Southern California. That's what l like about it-the album tells a good story, about them is that they've taken pop, and it gives you a lot of good visual disco, good funk, and rock-and they' ve images . . . but not necessarily images managed to synthesize it into a brand of continued on page 16

The Mt!tropo/itah, Januarjl'28, 1981

The year's top ten coutinued from page 15

in the top ten this year.

E: There's some good things here on this album-the salute to Martin Luther King Jr. ("Happy Birthday") is much more politically orientated than in previous works, along with ''Master Blaster (Jammin')."

P: He accepts some things of new wave, and incorporates it into his own unique way of doing things, of creating music. I would say this new album of Wonder's will be better received by more persons

that are favorable. The mood is really very cynical; and, the music is good, with persona like Mark Knopfler (of Dire Straits).

P: This is a good album from Steely Dan, and I'm glad to see it.

E: They're probably the only really "super group" in 1980 who released anything of real worth.

P: Of course, Stevie Wonder (with the number four album, Hotter Than July) is a superman, and his latest album-I'm glad to see it's as good as it is.

E: I can't say that this was a really good album, or an exemplary work from Stevie Wonder ...

P: ... but it was good enough to make it

the The Secret Life of Plants was. The new album has some very strong pieces on it.

E: The new material worked well in his concert in Boulder last month-the

songs off the new album were very, very good. He's very comfortable with the material on Hotter Than July, and I think it shows he's settling into a easy stage; he doesn't feel he has to prove anything anymore. Now, he's making music that's not extremely forceful, or complicated, but it's good.

P: Stevie Wonder is a real musical genius, and it just comes out of him-other people have to work for the same type of results.

Weather Report (Night Passages) is heading up five, halfway down the list.

Again, this is another pleasing album from a band who's been putting out great albums for a long time. In fact, this album is better than their previous effort, Mr. Gone; which, to put it frankly, was somewhat gone from the real world. It went to wind from Zawlinul's part-on the new album, Wayne Shorter does some things, and I think th'is latest band is carried by their new drummer, Peter Erskine.

Zawlinul is as great as usual. I like to see Shorter doing more work in the over~ all combinations-IJove the very good thing on side 2 that's excellent with synthesisers, with a good big band feel.

E: Whenever they do anything that's big band oriented, like " Birdland," it always gives their albums a bit more flavor.

P: And, the albnrn shows their other side, with a poetic, tone-poem type piece. They also did some very, very good compositions with this album, much better than Mr. Gone.

E: Most persons recognize Weather

Report from albums like 8:30 and Heavy Weather. I think Night Passages isn't as memorable as Heavy Weather, but .,,,;» there's parts on the new album that are weather Report niC)ht passaoe

striking. It took us a while on this top ten to find some striking things-there was a lot of mediocrity this year.

P: Billy Joel comes in at number six (Glass Houses). This is a different thing for him; he's made the transition from the established artistry to a new wavetype sound. Linda Ronstadt has too (Mad Love), but I think Joel does it the best-because he keeps his soul into it somehow. It's catchy, there are very well-produced, strong compositions.

E: I like it because he's still angry. You feel that anger in the music; it sounds good, but it also feels like there's a reason behind it.

P: There's an edge to the music.

The Metropolitan, January 28, 1981

E: One other thing I noted about this album; I walked into a couple of record I~ stores while doing research on these top en albums, Glass Houses was the most consistent seller. Not that the album sold tremendously, but stores always seemed ·to be out of the record. Some persons think Joel is too pop, but pop music .shouldn't be discouraged.

• P: Also, I think you have to appreciate .that he did change a lot, but it's still Billy Joel. He made a real good balance of

E: It's probably the comeback album of the year more than anything else, but it's also very good. The problem with Yes is a bad tendency to do a lot of neat musical things, but they do get very boring-they go on and on.

P: They're superb musicians, but they get redundant.

E: They take a theme and beat it to death.

This wasn't the case with the new album; it was bright.

P: There are a lot of variations within the themes, but the variations keep you going for long segments of the album. If they would have made a double album of this,

it would have died-but they knew how to fit this within the framework of one album.

P: Now we come to number eight, the Talking Heads (Remain Light) .. .

E: . . .and number nine, Elvis Costello (Get Happy.')

P: This is interesting here; let's make it clear that I favor the Talking Heads, and Emerson favors Elvis Costello, but we both respect each other's opinion enough to let both choices in. It's one of those toss-up situations.

Let's start with the Talking Heads. On the pro side-and I agree there are some

In

17

con sides to the album-I think l) it's a. new sound for them, and 2) the album has a very unusual effect of making it so that there's .the music section and the lyrics going along, but they're separated.

There are parts of the album where you can't listen to both at the same time; this may be deemed frantic by some, but I find the effect startling that someone can compose something that has this dichotomy. The musical compositions themselves are basic funk beats, and there's that new wave guitar in there.

Moments in time are being separated and

;.._ heing totally off the wall, and yet not changing enough. He knew how to change and make it work well.

E: I think pop is a style persons like to disdain, because they think that's Barry Manilow, or Donny and Marie. That's not the case; there's a lot of things ~" coming out that have a good pop flavor with catchy ditties, something listenable.

It can be very simple, and musically It can be very simple, and musically in its intent, but Joel uses that anger well.

P: We · have Yes at number seven (Drama); I think the major criticism for llii6 their albums is: they all sound the same.

On this new album, they still sound the same, but I like the way the music fits together. It has a number of memorable passages in it, and the passages are strong-very strong. Yes added a singer and a keyboard player: the singer isn't as 11> - • strong as Jon Anderson was, but the keyboard player has a lot of different things that Rick Wakeman didn't have.

And, the old guys-Alan White and Steve Howe-are still true professionals.

put together. There's some really strong things being said, with David Byrne going all out; I also think (producer) Brian Eno helps this band.

E: On the con side, I think that persons are putting too much into the Talking Heads. I just get the feeling in listening to this album that they (the Heads) just don't know what they're doing. It seems that they're experimenting with certain things, but they don't know where they <ire going. The Talking Heads get way too conceptual for their own good. There's a lot of concept in this latest album, and they're going out on a limb. The Heads

are doing too much with the music and the lyrics; I start to get confused. I intently listened to this album because, with my taste in music, this should be something I should like; it wasn't.

It confused me too much, and I don't like to be confused when listening to music. Music should be orderly, have an orderly disorder. There's just a lot of hodgepodge in this album. However, it's significant that Remain In Light is the second most popular album among persons I've talked to: it was acceptable to jazz, rock, and classical buffs. This album just struck me wrong. However, it's stirred up enough pros and cons that it needs to be listed .. . and it's striking. It makes persons listen, and also makes them talk.

P: I'll have the last word on this. I do think that on this album the ultimate thing is the music. I appriciate the fact that they're innovative, that they do go out on the limb. They may go out too far, but great artists do that anyway. Also, I find that a lot of what goes on in their music is a similar synthesis between disco and rock as what Miles Davis did with jazz and rock. Miles Davis played with time in jazz; he gave jazz a rock time, a rock feeling. David Byrne and Brian Eno are creating a time cohesion and representation between disco and rock. I think it's an important album .

E: I think Elvis Costello's Get Happy is also significant. When it first came out, I had very mixed feelings about the album; I thought it was halfway decent, but maybe not as good as Armed Forces. In listen ing to it more and more,

however-and with the way the year's gone in music-this album gained stature throughout the year. What I like about Get Happy is the number of songs, with

-~ •

20 of 'em on the album. They have enough differentiation between selections, and there are a number of musical ideas that wouldn't sustain any kind of a major work. So, he puts them in a two or three minute song. Costello is very pop, he's becoming more significant, more artists are recording his songs, he's becoming more known ....

P: Well, Linda Ronstadt's Mad Love will definitely help him out.

E: Well, just bringing back the sound of the Sixties, and that harsh, rough edge like Billy Joel-I think it makes the album a cut above most of the records this year.

P: I don't like Elvis Costello because I

don't like his haircut, I don't like his glasses, and I don't like the fact that there's a poster of him standing behind a~ Hasselblad. I find him way too preten- .... tious as an artist. He has put out some good music; I think putting out 20 songs to an album ... there's nothing inherently wrong with that, but I can't find anything in it al all. There's some good hooks, some good lyrics, some good feels; but, • again, I respect his intention, but I don't like the man. I'm just tired of him. I like Nick Lowe better, even though he's in that kind of a pop thing.

E: I do like Elvis Costello. I liked him when he first came out (My Aim Is True), and I've liked what he's done since. And, " I like this album.

I think we can both agree on the tenth album on this list, with Jeff Beck (There And Back).

P: I think that Beck's album may be one of his best, even though it does not superceed Blow By Blo w. Blow By Blow is " truly his crowning achievement until this time. I think the reason There and Back is number ten is because it is overdone-although there are some good sections in the album, with good interplay between (keyboardist) Jan Hammer and Beck. The major criticism is Beck's .., guitar playing didn't really carry me on this album. I listened to Jan Hammer more; I also listened to the drummer, Simon Phillips. His drumming on this aloum is as good or better than anything Billy Cobham has ever done, and he's a Billy Cobham disciple. He's doing a very · ~ good job. It's a very popular album. I'm ll

'Altered States' a good trip continued from page 14 psychedelia, but ~hat does it all mean? shes with Russell's use of Hurt's and As frightening as States gets in looking at Brown's relationship. In the end, Altered the human mind's potential, the movie States attempts to prove human emotion often obscures any of the movie's pur- is more powerful than the other forces pose. The drug investigations provide _possibly locked up within the brain. To weighty (and entertaining) evidence in some, this notion might be naive and Altered States, but they point to little silly; however, this simple idea also scientific proof. brings States a depth and warmth lacking This stumbling block, however, dimin- in many science fiction films. ~,

amazed it hit the charts as high as it did, but I think it's too frantic for a lot of people.

E: I think it was a very good album. I liked a lot of things on it, even though I'm not especially a big Jeff Beck fan, and I'm not a big fan of jazz-rock fusion. , · I think there's a lot of things wrong with it. Beck did a lot of things on this album that were good; Pat Metheny on 80181 did a lot of very good things (with jazzrock fusion), but he also did a lot of things that were bad. f: I think that's the story with jazz-rock '- fusion this year-a lot of artists have done a lot of bad things and good things in the same album; or the albums were too long as with Santana's (The Swing of Delight) and Al DeMiola's (Splendido Hotel). They did some great things with their albums, but when you put out a .,.- double-record set, you end up with a lot of filler material.

E: A lot of Beck's album was to the point, driving music. It's somewhat overproduced in a lot of places though.

P: Again, I want some more of Beck coming through, and we're not getting ..r• enough of that.

E: This is almost like with Stevie Wonder-when looking over his and Beck's careers, their albums this year could be classified as something mediocre. But, they're better than what you got from anyone else this year.

And if nothing else, Altered States marks the brilliant return of a disciplined, serious Ken Russell. After a year of horrible movies, States is hopefully an indication of thoughtful, engrossing works in 1981. Altered States shows intelligent films can work without cheapening content-and, Ken Russell is finally back. Be grateful.
