Faculty to sue Trustees over salary -

Jesse Stephenson Senior Staff Writer Indignant over years of alleged salary injustice, 78 senior MSCD faculty are preparing to sue The Board of Trustees for Colorado State Colleges. The Faculty Protection Association, comprised of the plaintiffs, contend that the board refused to adjust the MSCD procedure for determining salary for senior faculty. The FPA wants a system that would make senior faculty salaries consistent with that of peer institutions and junior faculty. In addition, the FPA charges that The Board of Trustees executed a breach of contract by failing to comply with the guidelines for determining salary in The MSCD Handbook For Professional Personnel. The 1993 handbook states that salaries must be adjusted to achieve equity and parity. This designates that pay rates for veteran faculty and newly hired faculty should be congruent, and that MSCD should maintain a

faculty pay scale consistent with peer institutions. The senior faculty, all of which have served 15 years or more at MSCD, are asking for up to $20 million in damages to compensate for salary disparities that have occurred since 1986. "This is a volcano ready to erupt," said John Schmidt, president of FPA. "It is the single most devastating issue to faculty on this campus, to morale and quality of life." Grievances over the alleged salary injustices were initially brought to Denver District Court in 1992 by 17 MSCD faculty who sought class action certification. The case was thrown out with prejudice by a judge who ruled that the faculty had failed to fulfill formal grievance procedures which would give the administration a chance to remedy the situation out of court. Following the initial court ruling, the board revised the handbook and omitted provisions for equity and parity as essential in determining faculty salary. Schmidt said the omissions in the handbook were a

reactionary response to the lawsuit and that the FPA will sue on grounds that the original contract induded provisions for salary equity and parity. According to Schmidt, the original grievants did not seek internal remedy on the advice of their attorney because there was no guideline for class action grievances in The MSCD Handbook for Professional Personnel. To counter the ruling that they failed to attempt outof-court settlement, the FPA collaborated with the Board of Trustees to create a formal class action grievance procedure. Additionally, they prepared to appeal the District Court's ruling of prejudice which would prohibit the suit from being retried. In October 1993, The Colorado Court of Appeals overruled the decision to throw the case out with prejudice but maintained that the grievants must pursue internal remedy before bringing the ease back to court. According to Schmidt, the FPA fulfilled the judge's

Senior Staff Writer The Auraria library will reduce its hours of operation, cut student worker positions, buy less materials, and place a hiring freeze on vacant positions due to lack of funding for faculty and classified staff raises, according to the 1994/95 library budget. According to the budget released Tuesday, at the start of the spring semester the campus library will be open 11 hours less per week and a number of student worke.r positions will not be available, saving the library $47,280. The library will save $70,012 by eliminating its film/video budget and by not buying 3,000 books. An additional $45,128 will be saved by a hiring freeze on all vacant positions. "We were not funded to cover all of our raises, and that's why we're running at a deficit," said Camila Alire, dean/director of library administration. According to Alire, this year's deficit was $187,671, but UCD contributed an additional $43,581 to prevent a freeze on journal purchases. She said that MSCD contributed an additional $16,000 to keep library hours the same and to keep library student workers employed for the rest of the fall semester. The library is still left with a $128,090 deficit, Alire said. As part of a five-year contract with the library, MSCD, UCO and CCD each fund the library based on a formula that includes student enrollment. Each school has already contributed to the library's $5.14 million base budget for 1994/95, Alire said. However, state mandated raises for classified employees and raises approved by the CU Board of Regents for CU faculty caused a $222,513 increase in

costs for this year, she said. Because the Auraria library is managed by UCO, the state legislature gave the University of Colorado Regents money to cover 80 percent of the raises, said Joe Arcese, MSCD vice president .of administration and finance. "When the regents submitted to the state legislature their total costs, they included all the total library costs with it," Arcese said. "So, the regents already received the mandated costs for the library. For some reason, they are not giving it to the library, and we don't understand why not. That is the issue we are going to try to resolve between now and January. We are going to work with the regents and basically try to get them to put in their fair share." John Bernhard, UCO vice chancellor of administration and finance, said whether CU received the money, or whether it was even supposed to, is an area of dispute. "Until this mess gets cleaned up, Metro is going to put in some additional money," Arcese said. "It's so complicated we can't even seem to get the same straight answers between the three schools." The Auraria campus library has a history of being underfunded, according to 1992 Library Research Service reports. And, according to Alire, the statistics still hold true for 1994. .In 1992, the Auraria library had more student consumers than any other university in Colorado, according to the Service reports. Yet, the Auraria library spent less money on its students for materials, librarians, library staff, and operating · expenditures than any other university in Colorado. The Auraria library was second from the bottom in volumes of books, the reports read.

Public Safety chief resigns after 20 years at Auraria Dave Flomberg Staff Writer After more than 20 years of service to AHEC, the Auraria Public Safety Director has resigned. Effective Oct. 31, Chief David Rivera will leave his post at APS and move to the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, where he will assume the position of Chief of Police, according to a press release issued by .Connie Besser, Public Information Officer at APS. "Personally, it's gonna be a big loss to me," said Besser in a recent interview. "It'll be a big Joss to the campus, but I think it will be a good step forward for him." Rivera was also optimistic about his move. "It' s a new challenge, with new issues and concerns, and challenging expectations," he said when speaking of his new position. Rivera said that the center contacted him last May, after their police chief resigned, and that he has been in discussions with them ever since. Rivera began his career at APS as a work-study guard, and steadily progressed his way through the ranks to serve as acting chief in '75. He was appointed to the

position permanently in February of '78. Since he has been chief, APS has grown to 36 full-time employees and 15 student guards. His accomplishments include the bicycle patrol program, planning of the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators' development sessions, and security for Auraria campus involvement during World Youth Day 1993. Rivera' s immediate replacement will be Lt. Gary Kasson who will be the interim director of APS until a permanent replacement can be found. According to Dean Wolf, vice president of operations for Auraria, it may be some time until a replacement is found. " It's very early in the proceedings to tell," said Wolf, adding that he was about to go into a meeting with JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for administration for Auraria, to determine just who will serve on a search committee to find a new chief. "We hate to see Dave go, it's a hard slot to fill," said Wolf. "I suspect it will be a nationwide search." There will be a reception held for Chief Rivera on Oct. 26, which will be his last day of duty at APS, in the Tivoli Student Union, room 444, from 3-5 p.m.

Question and Answer with Bill Eggert: Republican candidate for U.S. House of Representatives District Louis A. Landa News Editor LANDA: What are the main differences between you and Pat Schroeder? EGGERT: I think the main difference is that she has a great deal of faith in bigger and bigger government, higher and higher taxes, and more and more spending. Plus she wants an increased regulatory burden on the productive sector and I don' t. In my background, growing up in the Bronx, I can see what big government did through repressive policies of high taxation and reckless spending. I think the

worst thing about it was the welfare system that was set up in the mid-1960s. It pretty much destroyed my old neighborhood. And that's big government. I think the more power government has, the less power people have. LANDA: Do you follow the old notion that Democrats look to government for solutions to a problem and Republicans look to the people? EGGERT: Well, some of that may be a little trite, but that's the way I view it. Although there are d ifferent types of Republican welfare, farm subsidies are one of them ... So I don' t care if they are

big government Democrats or big government Republicans, I'm convinced more government is not the answer. We're robbing the people. LANDA: You haven ' t lost faith in the American political system, or you would not be running for Congress. EGGERT: Right. LANDA: How is it that you, as a

And sooner or later the chickens are going to come home to roost on the deficit, and I think we are going to have devastating economic problems in this country.

Eggert plans to unseat Pat Schroeder Nov. 8 Big government programs like welfare may be the source ofAmericas woes EGGERT from page 4

- LANDA: But how are you going to go about effecting change in government? EGGERT: Well, the guiding document for me is the Constitution. I think the Eggert Constitution is the most forgotten document in Washington. Just this year we have seen attempts to grab control of health care. And education, they want more federal control for what I think is a local government and private responsibility. I never said it would be easy and I think it depends how many people like me get elected. If nobody gets elected who thinks like me, it will be a frustrating two years. LANDA: I see a lot of your lawn signs and they say "22 years is enough." EGGERT: For Democrats and Republicans. I.ANDA: I agree. Why do you think the people of District one have been so willing to el~ct Pat Schroeder for 22 years?

EGGERT: I think the Republican party has been partially responsible for that. I think people in their 20s and early 30s see that my generation have had a big dinner and they end up with sloppy seconds. I'm getting killed in my own yuppie generation, but I'm doing real well with people in their 20s and early 30s, because they don't think they are going to have any opportunities if the current way of doing business continues. I agree with them. I don't think they are going to have any opportunities. I think we are going to see a big surprise on election day. Especially in blue

collar areas, and black and Hispanic areas also. LANDA: Do you think people in America are losing faith in government? EGGERT: Yes, and I think it's for one reason. When law abiding citizens brush up against government it's usually in some negative way. I think they feel they are treated worse than some criminals. They work harder, but their paycheck doesn't seem to grow. They deal as a business with some agency like OSHA (Occupational Safety Hazard Administration) and t~y are treated like a criminal. The EPA (Environmental

Protection Agency) is starting to level fines on small cities and villages that they are going to find very difficult to deal with. Welfare is another thing. When are we going to have the guts to deal with that problem? What I've seen so far is cosmetic. The worst thing about welfare is not the money we waste, although that is bad, but it's the isolation of welfare. It hurts individuals, kills families and makes neighborhoods hopeless places. I trust the people. I don't trust big government.

·FPA members say salaries reflect inequalities LAWSUIT from page 1 order to seek an internal remedy and attempted to challenge the Board of Trustees on the issue of salary injustice through a non-judicial hearing. The hearing arbitrator threw the grievance out after collecting written statements from both parties. The case will go back to court in mid-November. Although FPA members seek retroactive salary compensation through legal venues, they are also pressing MSCD president Sheila Kaplan to revise the salary system to avoid further damages. Kaplan said she acknowledges the problem and is attempting to solve it with

the aid of an outside consultant, but doubts the validity of the FPA claim that there was a breach of contract. "I think that argument doesn't hold water," she said. "But that doesn't mean I don 't think there's a real issue here." Kaplan said that the trustees did not make an absolute obligation to determine salary according to equity and parity and speculates that the court will rule in favor of the board. Despite Kaplan ' s skepticism about the contractual portion of the suit, she agrees that there is numerical evidence that senior faculty are being paid less then their recently hired peers.

According to a report published in an FPA newsletter, which took salary figures from the proposed staffing pattern and personnel roster, a full-time business professor with 15 years of teaching experience makes $15,000 less per year than a newly hired part time professor in the same department with no experience. Schmidt said the inequity is the result of hiring new faculty at or above market salary and giving raist{s based primarily on merit without giving cost of living increases for veteran faculty. Kaplan said the salary revision is likely to keep meritbased raises but will put an end to overscale hiring.

Amendment 1·5 - campaign finance reform for Colorado

:..

Amendment 15 is a campaign finance reform measure. Does Colorado need a reform package? Supporters of reform claim that Amendment 15 will take "big money" out of Colorado politics. "There is too much money in Colorado politics," said Patricia Johnson of the League of Women Voters. She also said that it is bad government when you have money that controls the government. Opponents to Amendment 15 said that its primary objective is to force Colorado taxpayers to pay for politicians' campaigns with tax dollars. It's argued that Amendment 15 makes it easier for wealthy candidates to dominate the elections. Opponents also point out that if Amendment 15 is passed, taxpayers will be paying for a new election committee called the Campaign and Political Finance Commission. This committee will replace the Secretary of State who is currently responsible for enforcing election laws. Amendment 15 would require that contributions from special interest groups, political action committees (PACs) and private citizens be reported more often. This would include any amount over $20. Unions and corporations could continue to donate money through PACs.

On Sept. 29, the Denver Post published an editorial stating that Amendment 15 uses a straightforward approach to removing special interest pressure from Colorado politics and called Amendment 15 "a treasure."

Amendment 15 calls for: -specific limits on contributions: $500 per candidate for governor. $250 per candidate for lieutenant governor, secretary of state, state treasurer or attorney general. $100 per candidate for state senate and house of representatives, State . Board of Education or regent of the University of Colorado. -limitations on contributions to candidates' committees. -individuals cannot give money to a candidate twice. -restrictions on contributions to political parties. -contributions remaining 30 days after an election not be counted as contributions from natural persons. -contributors of more than $500 report tc> the secretary of state and to the candidate. -'-reporting more frequently any contribution that exceeds $20.

It was almost one year ago that I first shared my vision for MSC D ' s S t u d e n t Government with its adviser, Maggie Miller. We were having lunch and, in the process of venting, I explained what I believed to be the answer to Student Government's ills: an entirely new structure of government. As it turned out, Maggie shared the same vision. We immediately inundated each other with specific ideas, concepts, and details of such a structure and had, before we new it, constructed a new Student Government - one that professed collaboration and respect as its essential ingredients. As we stopped to catch our breath, we looked at each other and simultaneously sighed over the scope of such a change, for the existing Student Government structure was hierarchical and competitive; it was rooted in suspicion, and was, tor all practical purposes, ineffectual. My imagination took me back a thousand years where I found myself at the mercy of a huge, ghastly dragon standing at the gate of a cold, dark castle. Unable to control my shivering, I explained to the beast in a non-confrontational tone, of course - that I merely wanted to get by so that I might, with the help of my assistants, "restructure" what it was the dragon was commissioned to protect. I also noted that his kind services would no longer be required. As I brought myself back to the 2oth century, it became exceedingly clear to me that the implementation of a new structure would be a rigorous task. How, tor instance, does one implement an egalitarian system of government when the act of imple-

mentation itself is non-collaborative and hierarchical in nature? Does one simply stand at a podium and declare the old constitution obsolete and set out to create a new one? Clearly not. Instead, two ingredients - collaboration and respect - would have to be utilized at every step of the way, and it would begin at the drawing board of a new constiMion. Shortly after my conversation with Maggie, about eight of us came together in what was to go down in history as Student Government's first Constitutional Convention. We began the enormous task of rewriting our constitution during winter break of 1993. Three months later, we had produced what we believed to be a workable document, as did the college and the Board of Trustees, for they approved it in the spring of 1994. Naivete, unfortunately, has always been my strong suit, which was evidenced by my forecast tor clear sailing now that Student Government possessed such a fine constitutional compass. I was certain that all stumbling blocks, once encountered as a result of the limitations of the preceding constitution, would simply vanish - kaput! I never once considered the repercussions of inaugurating such an innovative system into what emerged as antithetical to it: society. We are brought up to compete, often times at all costs, tor what it is we desire in life. We are told that bigger is better. We learn that what we have is a reflection of who we are. We grow up in an environment that teaches us to fight tor what we want - that giving up is a sign of weakness. We applaud the most violent of plays in football and hockey. We strive for perfection and when we realize we can't achieve it, we buy it. Manipulation is the key to life learn to play the game and you'll get what you want. It is no wonder why

we are killing each other tor a pair of tennis shoesl This dismal revelation of humankind led me to my one and only goal for this year: to fully embrace the principle of egalitarianism, seeing to it that the Student Government Assembly maintains that principle in all aspects of its function. That is to say that, no matter what we may encounter during our tenure as student representatives, we will employ the two essential ingredients noted earlier so that we may be available to our constituency in an open and honest manner. Like everyone elie on the planet, we have made mistakes and will continue to do so. That is a given. However, what is different about this year's SGA is that we hesitate to point fingers and lay blame. Rather, we look inside our organization for the source of the problem. This process does not come easy to most, and it certainly doesn't come easy to me. I was raised in the same competitive and aggressive world as everyone else. It would be very natural for me to slip back into a dictatorial role where I could just sit back and point my finger at others. Nonetheless, I constantly remind myself of my goal to bring about and maintain a sense of egalitarianism, and, to do that, I have learned to point my finger at myself, however reluctant I am to do so. In order tor the SGA to survive and I believe for all of humankind to survive - we must be willing to embrace and incorporate egalitarianism into all facets of our lives. Whether it is a new form of parenting, a new manner in which one manages an office, or establishing a new structure for Student Government, egalitarianism allows every member of society to participate and not just the most aggressive.

The deeper one delves into house the more one learns just how well ~his area of music, like techno, conforms to Burrough's rule-of-thumb that 90 percent of everything is crap. So rises the hope that the myriad dance "compilation· albums out there might separate the Wheat from this considerable chaff. So why do 90 percent of these also suck? Maybe such albums are actually attempts to re-market a bunch of cuts too lame to succe~d on their own. Also, for royalty reasons, a record label will often cull a collection exclusively from their own stables, t-hus limiting the pool of "hits" they can choose from. So perhaps the shrewd move is to find dependably fierce labels. Are there such things? Yes. At this time we unapologetically anoint Nervous Records, Cutting Records and Strictly Rhythm, New York undergrounds all, as Mattering The Most. Not to say that majors never do anything right, but with such rare exceptions as Virgin's Inner City and Epic's Lil' Louis, strong underground talent usually tomes up for major-label air only in a behind-the-scenes guest capacity (read: remixers on singles). Nor do we imply that other underindies like Emotive, Eightball, etc. don't deliver, but we speak here of consistency and breadth. As for the collections, all of which boast a Masters At Work (see last column; rumors of their recent breakup are untrue) connection: Of the three, Nervous has been (at least, before their recent explosive growth) the least prolific but, along with its rap/hip-hop alter-egos Strapped, Sorted and Wreck

den-under-a-rock sounds. Their Deep House: Nervous Breakdown Volume 2 has variety, recency and no less than four MAW productions, including NuYorican Soul's Old-Westflavored "Nervous Track" and, daringly, not one but an unprecedented (for a compilation) two different mixes of the same song, Kim English's current world hit "Nite Lite·. Only problem: squeezing seven cuts onto one LP, combined with a DJ's need for widerthan-average groove spacing, clearly forced Nervous to truncate selections to a mean length of four minutes (typical house lengths are around seven). Cutting 's double LP Cutting Traxx One avoids that problem but still doesn't cut it. Dismaying, as this label had the savvy to land and release not only MAW's self-titled LP and singles, but one of house's crown jewels, 1+1 =3's "I'm On Beat"- all this in just the first quarter of '931 But a good SO percent of this album just lays there, track after anonyrm;>t.is track coming and going uneventfully. Even MAW's mix of Kathy Brown's ·can't Play Around" is inferior to their 12" version. A few good tracks, nothing classic. Strictly puts out more sheer volume than any other underindie, domestic or international. Having already done three volumes of their This Is Strictly Rhythm compilations, they're now assembling showcases for specific remixers. Todd, "Little" Louie & Kenny ·0ope· is their double-LP tribute to the MAW duo and Todd Terry, its four sides christened Todd, Louie, Kenny and New (this combo Re:=?~d_:;!. ~e!19~ !~"'!~~~ ~?~e- ':!nJgl!e1 hid_- _ ~lso wO(ks for bridal -...vear).

Louie serves up his best mix of '93's "We Can Make It" from Sole Fusion, a beautiful but too-hard house track if there is such a thing, and the raw, unpolished ambient-disco sound of the limited DJ-only mix of Hardrive's · Just Believe·- after only recently getting me to shell out $7 for the one-sided, clear-aquavinyl single of this! Damn if Strictly ain 't catchin' onta big-time record-label scammery jes' a Iii' too quick fer my taste. Meanwhile Kenny's side, a find for newcomers, offers two of the best pre-MAW, pre-old school (hell, they're almost breakdancy) cuts he ever did via The Untouchables. Impossible to find in their original 12 inches (got mine used al the now-defunct La Casa del Fonk), the prescient hints they give of MAW's future glory are fascinating. Terry's association with some of house's most seminal clubs and projects dates to its infancy, but damned if his side just doesn't keep up: The kids love his seasoned anthem ·can You Feel It", though, which makes its third Strictly appearance here (it was also on This Is, Vol. ~.

Imaginary Landscapes/A Brief history of Ambient Volume 2

Jean Clarke

Over 150 minutes of music Is crammed onto these two discs, each tune segueing Into the next thanks to some nifty editing . Attempting to draw together older Innovators like Gong and Tangerine Dream from the early 70s, with 80s milestones from Brian Eno, Robert Fripp and David Sylvian to the modem chlll·out stuff of The Grid and Amorphous Androgynous, this Brief History of Ambient draws only from the Virgin label and Its subsidiaries, leaving out some big contributors to the scene - like Harold Budd, Terry Riiey, The Orb and Aphex Twin. But SyMan and a host ot his co-collaborators and former bandmates provide some of the r:iost satisfying moments on this collection. To me, though, ambient means you never have to get up from blisstul near-slumber to tum It down, like I found necessary with the abrasive Pll-era Jah Wobble track. EVen the Grid's Orbtweaked "Crystal Clear" remix encloses Its ambience _In a too-blpplty framework of annoying bpm's. But kudos to the compilers for lndudlng The Verve from last year, who otter a nice psychedelic six-string sound in contrast to the predominately electronic bent displayed by the rest. For fans of this genre who may have come In late, this collection, and Its predecessor, tlll In some gaps and provide some history. A nice package.

'Butt4U4'Moroccan VD CDLP

fio-Kart

This Is the kind of music that really worked up your parents. Now you can enjoy It without risking a trip to the therapist's couch. The Go-Kart label Is new, but the band Isn't . Moroccan VD CD LP Is Buttsteak's third release, following Fatty's Got More Blood and Shlt...Cool, It's the Honeycomb Generation.. Buttsteak offers up a '70s U.K. punk sound and attitude that seems to be finding Its way back t o the mainstream. According to their management, It's "the kind of teen bullshit you thought was really expressive In high school. You have acne, you're really Into anarchy, and your asshole parents won't let you go to the dance with the sleazeball greaser you felt up In shop." With people calling themselves Pink Ness, Eight Soft, Miik Brown, Up N. Sydeher, and Fingers Way, It's hard to tell what to expect. Don't let the names scare you, though. This album might start off rough and tough, but It ends with slmpllcity and fun. So rent "Sid and Nancy", pull out the combat boots, the painted leather, the blown speakers, the hair dye and the Elmer's glue for that bulletproof look and enjoy. Buttsteak Is on the loose.

"I am a wa lki ng screaming hell, a thing of torture to behold" ... so begins the latest magnum opus from Danzig. And scream he does. And bellow. And moan. About hell, pain, Gods, devils, demons and countless other b r ingers of death. Packaged like an arcane grlmolre, this fourth album from the boys In black picks up where the previous three left off and adds just enough new twists to their formula without diluting Its essential power. Unlike most rock bands, Danzig knows some things are better left undisturbed. In their case It means tight but disjointed blues rl_ffs, unpretentious and relentless backbeat drumming at the spine, and Glenn Danzig's trademark howlln' wolf cries. Maintaining his strict control over every aspect of the songwriting and presentation, Glenn's singular darl< vision filters all shades of llght Into the darl< tunnel he alone Inhabits. It's a black hole masl<Jng a magnetic field which sucks the listener Into a 67-minute visit to the dertc side.

Hof Trip to

Heaven American

' '

After five years of soulsearching, and some plodding, trite solo projects and premature rumors of Its demise, Love and Rockets ha.s reinvented Itself In supreme fashion with Hot Trip to Heaven. Still comprised of Daniel Ash, Davld J. and Kevin Haskins, L&R probably don't have a big hit on here like 1989's "So Alive,· but this 70-mlnute comeback of sorts addresses ambient music, big-band posturing and Industrial mayhem. Boldly displaying a new techno/ dance .edge, and bringing David J's aquatic bassllnes to the forefront, Heaven reintroduces L&R as a force to be reckoned with - again. Starting with a tranqulllzlng Introduction, the 14-mlnute "Body and Soul" takes over five minutes to unfurl Itself Into one of the most funklly effective dance tunes these guys have ever written. "Trip and Glide" rides a velvet monorail of orchestral synths and female vocals, while "Be The Revolution" swoons with the felicity of Its tasteful guitar licks. Couched In metalllc gloom and doom, the title track boldly goes where L&R have never forayed - the circus tent of repetitive Industrial dissonance. After spending the last five years sidetracked and In danger of becoming a fading memory, this Is right up there with 1986's Express. It'll send old fans Into orbit, and newcomers will find new things to like on each listen.

l!!~~!!!!~!]!!!!!!I those looking for

some Insane musical high Jinks. Encompassing the broad musical dementia that defines -their eccentric style, the brothers Ween return with their fourth effort. The Ween songwriting formula goes something like this: Slap a big fat Bootsy Collins bass line under a swirling Beatles melody, lay a viciously distorted guitar on top, tum on the drum machine and sing a beautifully tarnished poem In a voice that sounds like Captain Kangaroo on acid Impersonating Lou Reed. Simple, right? Altho~gh not as downright bizarre as their last ·.album, Pure Guava, Choc+Cheese excels In offering a distinctly fresh approach to their craft. And It Is also no less a ·celebration of Ween's own peculiar brand of quirky musical Innovation. To wit: Check out "Roses Are Free• for an Idea of what It's like to play a rip-saw In the bathtub while philosophizing In full-Osmond harmony. Then there's ·.Mister, Would You Please Help My Pony?", a psycho elevator Muzak ditty guaranteed to bring back some sort of weird suppressed childhood memory. Also, witness the strangely entertaining tip-toe tympani rhythm of "Spinal Meningitis (Got Me Down)", the sad tale of a doomed lad facing Invasive medicine while realizing his own premature mortality (baby backing voc~s Intact). This great album's pinnacle Is reached In the funky lounge lizard tribal atmosphere of ·voodoo Lady", a song that Dean Ween says "Is gonna be .the next 'Feed The Tree•.· Dean & Gene Ween are a wlld statement of true Americana, a couple of weird-ass New Jersey white boys with a basement full of recording equipment and too much free time. Their contribution Is substantial. Believe It. Check out the brothers at the Ogden Theater on Nov. 2.

Mississippi Is the mi!Jor labe·I debut of local warehouse veterans Spell, who may ----~ suceed In d rawing some much-needed attention to the Denver music scene.

Mlsslslss/pl Is a kodachrome Polaroid of their live sound, Including a lot of their golden oldies mixed in with some newer studio jams. Songs like "Dixie" and · superstar· sound KTCL-ready, featuring stiletto-like guitars with pop hooks big enough to hang your laundry on. The Spell formula of male/female call and response can also lag over the course of an entire album, making songs like "More• a bit tedious to the non-fan. My favorite song Is the glassy "4-B", which owes as much to the lush pop of Fleetwood M.ac as It does to the jaded numbness of Sonic Youth. Spell have broken free of the Denver bar, circuit, and have taken a stab at "modem rock" success, which will probably translate Into moderate album sales and opening slots for The Pretenders.

The cabalistic crooners from Cincinnati are back for a third CD which endeavors to surpass the previqus two. Over the Rhine once again float mellifluous melodies through the air waves , w ith Eve expressing hopes of becoming tyrants of the melancholy beat. The Ohio natives extend on their talents and mature into a quartet divine. Eve could propel the arcane musicians into national attention. From the first song "Happy with Myself," a borderline narcissistic, acoustical proclamation, to the kicker "Falling (Death of a Tree), there is a definite presence of unity among the members. Sine~ the inception of the band in 1989, the group has yet to entrench themselves as possessors of an unparalleled sounp, Over the Rhine, usually . somewhat furtive about their inspirational ..~ethods , has offered a little more insight on the creation of Eve, by making a documentary.

You Got Lucky: a Tribute to Tom Petty

Backyard

Records No matter how much you dress-up, re-perform, re-package or re-promote donkey dung It still smells llke, well, donkey dung. These odorlfic melodies are re-spun by a variety of pungent untalented artists. The fumes from the so-called "songs•, which collectively would be called the work of musician Tom Petty, were beginning to dissipate from the airwaves when some brain surgeon decided to resurrect them. The music Is dfy and unharmonious. The whole album sounds as If a few ,grungy guys got together, put down 10 to 12 bee~, and decided to put together a tribute album. All the while, the collaborators failed to consider that they couldn't play Instruments. The cacophony produced by a group of toddlers who have begun to beat the non-stick Slverstone kitchenware against the floor will be a welcomed sound afterllstenlng to this CD.

England's Pale Saints are back with their third 4AD long-player, and their first without exleader Ian Masters, who left the band nearly two years ago claiming that his "arms had grown too short to play the guitar." Masters has actually gone on to form a new outfit, Spoonfed Hybrid. Back to a four-piece now, with new member Colleen Brown making the Saints a two-boy two-girl unit, Slow Buildings is a masterpiece, with song dynamics carefully measured and expertly constructed. Without their Masters' voice, the band has mutated into a group not unlike their labelmates Lush, .a bit feminine and pretty. Meriel Barnham, .,..ho sang a couple tunes on their last LP, i_s now the m.ain singer. "(Will you be my) Angel" is one of the ,catchiest things they've ever done (and.will the first single and video) , and tlie last n~l'flbe,-, the extended "Suggestion," starts ~ith a µntle cello intro which leads inta ttieir mqst ar.:::ompl~shed song yet.

Generating an awe-Inspiring landscape of strange, eerie nightmare Images, Red Knife's power comes not from _songs per se, but rather tonal exercls· es that rely on dlgltally-processed voices, drums, wind Instruments and magically exotic percussion (Including PVC and gas tanks).

The Metropolitan

October 21, 1994

Woody Allen shoots 'Bullets' Ed Kraus The Metropolitan In Woody Allen's latest film, , "Bullets Over Broadway," violence is a laughing matter. It is not the slapstick "Naked Gun" fare but more like Quentin Tarantino Lite, with the verbal barrages far outnumbering the physical ones. Like naked but sexless Disney cartoon characters, the dead guys don't suffer or bleed. Bad guys are shot in the opening scene without fanfare or bloody corpses. The quiet gasps from the predominantly Allenomaniacal audience were slowly replaced by nervous giggles. Later, when a main character "gets taken• for a ride," the audience actually cheered. The movie takes place in the Roaring '20s, with John Cusack as David Shayne, a frustrated playwright who

finally gets a break. A respected producer (Jack Warden) gives him the green light to direct his latest drama. There is one condition: The idealistic Shayne must cast an untalented moll (Jennifer Tilly) of a gangster in the small.but important role of a psychiatrist. Sweetening the deal is the stellar cast including a legendary, albeit fading Broadway star (Dianne Wiest) and two famous but odd supporting characters. Once Shayne agrees, the compromises get easier and easier for the self-proclaimed artist. The more Shayne sells out the more he learns about himself. Artistic integrity comes from an unexpected but hilarious source. Chazz Palminteri as Cheech, the moll's brusque bodyguard who ends up rewriting the play. His understated approach would have stolen ' the show in a lesser movie. But

Ch!IZZ Palmlnterl and John Cusack In Woody Allen's "Bullets Over Broadway." The Mlrfmax film opens the 17th International Rim Festival Oct. 13 at the Paramount Theatre. strQng performances from Tracy Ullman (as a Chihuahuatoting actress), Jim Broadbent (a heartthrob with an eating disorder), and the rest of the

cast make this Allen offering one of his funniest in years. The movie has the look of a stylish '40s gangster movie loaded wi~h stereotypes and

exaggerated characters. But by slowly revealing their wacky personas, Allen enables the cast to deftly deliver the goods.

Gale is originally from Windsor, Great Britain, . well -as the relationship between Lear and his fool and has directed Shakespeare - including " Much brought much of the audience to tears. Kelly Douglass' portrayal of Lear's Cordelia is Ado About Nothing" and Christopher Marlowe's "Dr. Faustus" - for the Cambridge University Marlowe honorable, but her role as the fool, Lear's confidant and friend, is better still. She assumes the manner of a Society. "King Lear" is a story of madness and love wise fool in a twisted body with a speech impediment. "Lear" is unique as the only Shakespeare tragedy between a father and his daughter, and one of the most touching tragedies ever told. Gale's portrayal that contains a subplot. This parallel story relates the evokes the extreme pathos Shakespeare intended for tale of the Duke of Gloucester's evil bastard son Edmund, who is willing to deceive anyone and everythis character. Lear is often considered a difficult play because one, including his own half-brother and loving father of its length and heaviness. Gale disagrees with that for a route to the duchy. Timothy Tait's evocation of Edmund is so indulevaluation. "I don't think it's a difficult play to do. It's just a gent and rich that the audience, which hates him, also matter of playing the story as simply as you can, ·... finds itself absorbed by the glee with which he machijust telling the story and letting the audience draw nates his plans.
