Input needed for SUB improvements by Anne Hiii

Expanded cafeteria facilities, a new theatre, club offices, Senate Chambers, hotel facilities and com­mercial malls are being considered for improvements and additions to the SUB.

A Joint House Resolution in the Montana Legislature is all that is required to approve the ex­penditure of $5 million for expansion of the Strand Student Union Building.

After this vote, a building committee, appointed by President Tietz, will meet to

put possibilities in order. By June an architect should be into the picture.

The SUB is dialated by the straining pressures of nearly 10,000 students. ft was built to serve 3,000.

According to Fred Thomas, ASMSU president, "the priority is the cafeteria."

The new cafeteria will seat 1,000 or over, providing fast service, a variety of foods, and fast efficient check-outs.

Fieldhouse accoustically unsound for concerts

by Nick Geranios One of the biggest student

complaints around MSU is the absense of big-name concerts. There are several reasons for this but one of the biggest ones is lack of a large enough concert hall for the expensive big names to perform in.

The obvious place to stage concerts is the huge MSU fieldhouse, which was completed in 1956 at a cost of over $2 million.

But impossible acoustics have excluded the use of the fieldhouse from any sound­related activities.

A study was done about 12 years ago to find ways to improve the acoustics, ac­cording to campus architect Andy Van Teylingen. The panels erected in some portions of the roof are a result of that study. But the improvement program was not extensive enough to have any appreciable affect on the deplorable acoustics.

However, the current field house improvement project offers some hope for a solution. Van Teylingen said the university will once again look for ways to improve the acoustics and is hopeful that someday the fieldhouse might be acoustically good enough to hold concerts.

" In the past, all concert halls were copies of those in Vienna," Van Teylingen said, "and they weren't all that great. But people were used to them and didn't complain. The Symphony halls in New York and Boston were built like that."

Fieldhouse is result of shortsightedness

Montana State University is about to receive $7.5 million in building funds and care must be taken to insure that the students are not stuck with another mis-planned white elephant like our beloved fieldhouse, which was erected 20 years ago.

In hindsight, the gross inadequacies of the fieldhouse seem ridiculous and easily avoidable, but unless great care is taken in its improvement and in the rennovation of the SUB, the $7.5 million will be wasted.

Consider these facts: At the time it was constructed, at a cost of

well over $2 million, the diameter of the fieldhouse could have very easily been expanded another 100 feet. That 100 feet would have given MSU an indoor football stadium seating 20,000 spectators. Additional cost of the 100 feet? Less than $200,000. The cost of adding them today would run into the millions.

If former MSU President Roland Renne had authorized the additional 100 feet, (he adamantly refused to allow the addition) MSU would not have been forced to construct Reno H. Sales Stadium in the early ?O's in order to have a University-class football stadium.

Clearly, mismanagement and short-sightedness that occured 20 years ago is reflected in today's exorbitant $43.25 building fee, which is assessed against all MSU students. ~ good portion of that fee goes to pay for the stadium.

Another, better known example of fieldhouse mismanagement, is the acoustic problem that Is described on page 1.

These types of things may appear ridiculous now, but unless we want our actions to become tomorrow's ridiculous errors, students and faculty" should contribute to the building projects.

Anne Hill's article on possibilities for SUB rennovation describes some of the more in­triguing proposals put forth, but it is not a complete list, nor is it too late for students to submit ideas for consideration, since actual planning has not yet begun.

It's difficult to get motivated about building projects because by the time they're realized, most of us will be gone.

But the target date for completetion of the SUB rennovations is 1981. A fair portion of today's freshman and sophomores will still be here then, plus upperclassmen who go on to graduate school. So consider; you have the ability to contribute a piece of common sense at MSU that might possibly outlast your stay here, should one of your ideas be accepted.

Great artists throughout history have had to sacrifice to achieve lasting results, but some of you might achieve them merely by talking with the planning boards.

I see a campus that complains about the lack of campus entertainment facilities, yet is unable to read the history about who bought and paid for the Fieldhouse, and a campus that is about to commit the same mistake on the many new construction projects recently approved by the student body .

I see a campus that is upset over the cost of textbooks In the MSU Bookstore, yet is unable to read the simple economic texts that are available there; the ones that say that you can't operate a store by selling products three weeks a year , without charging for the cost of operating the store 52 weeks a year .

Bella says Jimmy's naive Former New York Congresswoman Bella Abzug thinks

President Carter's sensitivity to criticism is hurting him

politically .. But not so much that it will cost him the 1980

Democratic nomination. Appearing on A-B-C's "Issues and answers" Sunday. Ms.

Abzug talked about her recent ouster as co-leader .of the

President's advisory committee on women. She said she

thought the handling of the matter showed how naive the new

white house is. Despite criticism of the action ... and the '.esignation of 25

members of the advisory committee . .. Pres1dent Carter said

he's not sorry that he fired Ms. Abzug.

Strikes may cause chaos British Prime Minister James Callaghan and all of his top

ministers were at their desks Monday--looking for a way out of

widespread strikes that have plunged the country into near­

chaos. Three separate strikes are in progress-any one of which

would be enough to cripple the country. A truck driver's walkout has drastically cut shipments of

, food and industrial materials. Railway engineers are staying

off the job Tuesdays and Thursdays--which will stop all train

service on those days. And a fluctuating strike by drivers of

fuel tankers has forced a sated of emergency in Northern

Ireland. The strikes are on the verge of forcing massive industrial

layoffs. One newspaper calls this furious government activity

"unprecedented since the Suez crisis of 1956."

Frat fun kills pledge [BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA]-· The Louisiana State University

chapter of Theta XI fraternity will be barred from holding social

activities for the next year because of a pledge prank that left

blindfolded Theta XI pledges were struc:k by a car on a road last

Thursday night. One was killed. The rest suffered broken legs.

Shah to arrive in Egypt [CAIRO]-- A government announcement in Egypt says the

Shah of Iran will arrive in Aswan today for a meeting with

Egyptian President Sadat. The announcement could signal the

beginning of the "vacation" that is expected to turn into exile

tor the Shah--forced to leave Iran by a year of demonstrations

against his regime. The Cairo announcement says the Shah will be accorded a

warm welcome in Aswan to demonstrate what a spokesman

called Egypt's "gratitude" for fhe Iranian Monarch 's support of

Cairo's policy. The announcement did not say how long the

Shah will remain in Egypt--but Egyptian President Sadat is to

leave today for Khartoum to attend a joint session of the

Egyptian and Sudanese parliaments .

Pesticides. risky but beneficial The Environmental Protection Agency said Monday two

pesticides linked to cancer during laboratory tests on animals

would continue to be used ... but carefully. E-P-A says the pesticides--pronamide and amitraz--should

be applied to crops only by trained people wearing protective clothing .

The E-P-A -roposals are subject to review by the agency's

scientific advisory panel. The agency says use of pronamide should be allowed to

control weeds among lettuce, alfalfa, berries and sugar beet

seed. Other herbicides are not as effective. An E-P-A official says an extensive review and confirmed

data shows pronamide caused cancer in mice ... but the E-P-A

concluded economic benefits of the pesticide outweighed the

risks.

Pope watches downhill ski race Pope John Paul 11--eager to finish his noon blessing at St.

Peter's square and catch a televised ski race--stumbled over

the Italian language and turned the weather around.

In hurried thanks to the crowd of 40,000--the pontiff told

them " I am always happy , so happy, when it rains." The skies

over Rome were bright, clear, and sunny. The crowd stood silent, wondering at the odd comment.

But the quick-thinking John Paul recovered fast , saying "But

I'm even happier when it's sunny." The crowd applauded.

The two winter sports I like the best are downhill skiing and typing (since I write a lot). You see, typing pretty much has the same object that downhill skiing has: at a moderate speed, you see how far you can go down the white stuff (paper or powder) before wiping out.

The big difference between these two winter sports is that one is done indoors and the other outdoors. In other words, my son Gary Jr. says , "One is for pansies and the other is for men like myself. "

I disagree. I mean I think Gary Jr. is foolish to go skiing in sub-zero weather when he could be sitting at home typing. And, of course, he

from existing funds . The 43.25 paid by each student, ach quarter for building fees

makes up these funds. After completion of the

xpansion a "SUB use fee" might be tacked on to students' fees, Thomas noted.

Since the drinking age has been raised there will be more pressure on the game rooms. Al Bertleson. the SUB director, commented that in the past when the drinking age was lowered the size of the evening crowd at the SUB lowered. Thus with the raised drinking age, bigger crowds are expected.

In Thomas 's opinion, "the game rooms shou ld be substantially increased."

Student input is a necessity . There will be three to four studen ts on the building commit tee . Ber­tleson "hopes that th student body representat ives have an upper hand .. If th students don 't have power to express their wants, I will b very distressed ."

At the time it was con­structed, the fieldhouse cost $14 per square foot. To build the same building today would cost between $50 and $55 per square foot.

No one seems to be exactly certain what it would take to make the field house acoustically acceptable. Andy Van Teylingen said that there 1s no one in the state with enough skill to tackle the job.

Even 1f a good acoustic job was done, it seems unl ikely

that the acoustics in t fieldhouse would ever be o superior quality . Va Teylingen noted that Lineal Center in New York has bee torn apart several times t improve bad acoustics an they still are not very good .

Van Teylingen believes tha people expect too much from concert halls . " With th modern equipment that we have in homes, people can really have phenomenal ef­fects . Real concerts aren't up to that and people are critical of the buildings," he said.

New Senate debates auto repair shop

by Bill Keshlear Last Thursday night , a

lengthy discussion focusing upon access to the new auto repair shop highlighted the Student Senate's opening session f or the Winter Quarter.

The 20 Senators, seven of which are newly elected, approved the measure proposed by Ken Jenkins and amended by Norma K. Starr al lowing st uden t s and faculty members to use the facili ty.

MSU grease monkeys now have a place to work at the new Auto Repair Shop. Hours for the facility are 8 a.m .-1 0p.m. Monday through Saturday and 12-8 Sundays. For in­format ion call 994-3342. [Photo by Dale Livingston ]

The discussion was prolonged , however, when the Senate ap proved a motion to reconsider the original measure and when a motion to table the issue failed .

The iss ue remains unresolved and will again be discussed at this Thursday's meeting .

In other matters, a survey, designed to assess student needs and to determine budgeting priorities was unveiled.

The survey, costing MSU students $1 ,000, is being designed by Tauren McKinsey, a political science professor.

The Senate also heard five supplemental budget requests and learned that January 29th is the deadline for those requests .

The most prominent in­cluded : a request from the Associated Students for an additional $2,000 to cover an increase in secretary wages; and a request from the Auto Repair Shop for $2,720 to cover operating expenses.

These requests will be debated during future sessions.

In other business, the Senate formally approved ASMSU President Fred Thomas ' committee ap­pointments , and held a brief discussion of the spring bluegrass festival and 1ts organization .

Advantages increase with language training

by Ken McDonald Jack Jelinski , head of

MSU 's foreign language department has written a pamphlet on how foreign language training can help you get a job .

The pamphlet which studies the importance of foreign language in many career-related areas can be acquired by contacting the department of foreign language for additional copies .

language training . Ms. Porter (Bozeman Chronicle, 11-19-78), states , "With a language skill added to your other skills , you might double your chances of getting the job you want. "

36 students per year . Jelinski said the main

reason there is no foreign lan11uage requirement is because most students do not see any need for a foreign language in their academic training. It is not required as a prerequis ite for any course on campus nor for graduation

In speaking with Jelinski , he believed along with a President's commission and also with Sylvia Porter , famous columnist , that the

The winner of the Chienne look-a-like contest? [Photo by key to a better job is foreign

Bringing foreign language closer to home finds MSU with basically no foreign language requirement. Jelinski stated that out of the five departments in Letters and Sciences , that have foreign language requirements in their curriculum options , three will drop this requirement with the creation of the new catalog . Foreign language training is required for about

The above statement helps us to answer the question why very few students take foreign languages . The second reason given is that most students see foreign language as difficult electiyes and would rather choose an easier subject. In addition , society does not see foreign language as that important, even though this country is fast becoming a biol ingual , multi-ethnic nation .

People who are skilled in foreign languages have many career advantages . Language studies help increase English vocabulary. Statistics prove the SAT scores of students who have taken language training are above average and their grammar con­struction also improved . Reading levels are also raised . Foreign language training has traditionally been a part of " basic" education . In recent years this seems to have been forgotten .

What Jeliniski would like to see most is the sound development of core requirements in the curriculum . He said it has not been possible to undertake an examination of university philosophy to determine what a well-educated university graduate is , but that recently many faculty members have been discussing the idea of establishing a core curriculum which would reflect their concern about the qual i ty of a student's university education .

Inclusion of foreign language study in a core curriculum would recognize language study as a legitimate part of everyone's basic education .

There isn 't any question that training in a foreign language increases one ' s knowledge of English dramatically . It enhances the possibilities of success on the job market and , in an increasingly multi-ethnic society , it should be a part of everyone's college training . Exposure to foreign cultures enhances one ' s un ­derstanding of their own abilities and self worth .

Japanese guitarist studies at MSU

Bozeman--Seigo Yamada came all the way from Japan to Montana State University to learn how to play the guitar.

Not that Japan doesn't have persons who could have taught him to play the stringed instrument. It does. But it doesn't have a Christopher Parkening---and MSU does.

Parkening, America's foremost classical guitarist, teaches a master course in classical guitar during fall and spring quarter at MSU. And Yamada, 26, was bound and determined to be one of his students.

"I first played the guitar when I was 12 or 13 years old," he said. "But I ,lirtn't get into it much until I was 19.

Since then, I've been seriously working at becoming an accomplished guitarist. About fou~ years ago, while I still lived in Japan, I heard a record by Mr. Parkening for the first time, and his beautiful sound and music made me want to work at it even harder yet."

After high school, Yamada served eight months in the Japanese Air Force, followed by three years' study at Tokyo University in Tokyo where he majored in English and studied classical guitar under Norihiko Watanabe.

"Mr. Watanabe won first place in the Paris In­ternational Classical Guitar Competition and is Japan's best classical guitarist. He's very famous in Europe also.

He taught me a lot but I was struggling to get the pianissimo sound on the guitar. When I heard Mr. Parkening 's record, I knew his pianissimo sound was my ideal, so I wanted to study under him .

"M r. Watanabe wrote a letter of recommendation to Mr. Parkening , and I came to California where he was teaching at the University of Southern California . Mr . Parkening allowed me to have an audition but he said he couldn't accept me because he was moving to Montana to live.

"After moving here, he started teaching at MSU, so I followed him here. I guess you could say I'm chasing him wherever he goes. If he moved to Mars. I'd follow him."

Yamada, who's enrolled as a freshman in music, said he's improved since studying under Park en i ng.

Vandals hit Hedges by Grant McGuire

Late-night television viewers left their mark in Hedges South the weekend before finals week last quarter. In the television room, newly remodeled with $2,000 of AHA money, someone smoked half a pack of cigarettes and put them out in the carpet, the bleachers were damaged and a change box was stolen.

In another incident, a light fixture was stuffed with

paper, but it was discovered before bursting into flame.

Someone broke into a video game, took the moeny and attempted , unsuccessfully, to burglarize a pinball machine. As a result, D & R Vending removed their machines. Elavators are also a continual target of vandals.

A letter by Joe Fleming, Hedges South Supervisor, asks the residents help to end the vandalism. Not to mention the inconvenience it

improving but Mr. Parkening says I am so I must be," said Yamada. "It's something I have to work at all the time."

Yamada, one of 10 students studying under Parkening at MSU, practices an average of four to six hours a day.

"Sometimes I get up at night and play," he said. "I just love it."

Yamada said he had to take a break after practicing hours on hours fall quarter while taking the five-credit class under Parkening .

"I just had to put my guitar away for a few days. I locked

it in the closet so tnat I wouldn't be tempted to play. Too much of one thing isn't always good."

But it wasn't long before he brought his guitar out of the closet and started strumming away again.

by Scott Peters "Comes a Horseman ,"

reminded me a lot of "Missouri Breaks," I could see that there was probably an interesting story here and the actors are among the best (Jane Fonda, James Caan , and Jason Robards) . Neither the story nor the actor's talents came through too well.

The story is that of an independent woman, por­trayed by Jane Fonda, trying to run a small spread in Montana An empire building cattle baron, played by Jason Robards , trys to force her ranch under so that he can take it over and complete his empire.

Enter James Caan , who has a smal I spread nearby . He and his partner have been shot by one of Robards' cronies.

Wher. Fonda's grandfather finds them. Cann is barely hanging on and his partner is dead. He takes up with Fonda and they JOin spreads, so to speak.

Anyway, to make a long story short, Robards has a bunch of unpaid debts left over from when his father started the empire. The son of the man that Robards' father owed all the money to, an oilman, decides that, despite Robards' objections, he is going to look for 011 on his property. Well, Robards doesn't like this. Rig ht after the oilman tells him that the oil isn't on his property, but on Fonda's, he sabotages the oilman's plane, killing him . He then slits the throat of the oilman's (and his) banker and hangs him upside down in Fonda's bedroom closet

He waits for Fonda (he'd messed around with her when she was but a young sprite and he'd craved her and her land ever since) , and finally confronts her.

He ties her up and sticks her in the closet with his banker friend . Caan rides up, gets whacked over the head and stuck in the closet with everybody else. Robards sets the house on fire and leaves.

Yes, I've told you everything but the ending, but only so that I could make a few points.

Why would a man of Robards' empire building capability let himself stay in debt for two generations? Empires are not built with thinking such as this.

Why , when he was so meticulous about covering his tracks when he killed the

oilman, did he do something stupid like hang a guy with his throat cut upside down in a closet in a house in which two other people he disliked were to die? Even Closeau could figure this one out.

lacks pace

The story has holes, very large holes.

It also lacks any semblance of pace. For instance, the killings at the end have no sort of build up leading up to them. The audience expects to see Robards try and kill Caan and Fonda, but the director takes this for granted. Robards kills them more because it's the end of the film and time for him to do it rather than there being any sequence of events that pushes him to ii.

The acting , considering

who is in this film, is flat. Caan smiles or looks serious . Robards is confined to evil smiles or evil poker-faces. Jane has variations on looking hard .

Look at the ad , that 's basically how they look throughout the whole film .

Jane Fonda in particular is a disappointment After

Tuesday, January 16, 1979

"Coming Home" and "Julia," one wonders how she could be induced to curse Robards and then start crying for the first and only time with nothing more than explosions from seismic testing as a motivation.

Right out of a high school play.

The photography is at times interesting , but , again, not !JP to the reputation of the cinematographer . Gordon Willis shined in " Interiors " He's only average in this film .

When so much talent is so badly wasted, only one person is left that can be pointed at - the director, Alan Pakula It 's the auteur theory in action , only in reverse .

I've talked to a few folks that grew up in rural situations. They really en­ioyed the film , saying that the felt empathy with the characters. It could be that I'm missing something here.

Perhaps. But , innocent of what it was like then, I find this movie to be nothing more than a story badly told

And an incredible waste of talent.

Feminism is

in the eye of

the beholder

UNIVERSITY PARK• PA (CPS) -- "A woman wishing to be known as a feminist," counsels Dr. Rebecca H. Holmann an assistant professor at Penn State University, doesn't necessarily even have to open her mouth Holman, in a study of "the language of clothes," found that the clothes the woman wears will frequently do an adequate job of getting her point of view across.

Holman showed 200 male and female Penn State students seven pictures of the same model, dressed in seven different styles of fashion. Each student saw only one of the photos, and was asked to respond to 33 statements describing the woman pic­tured. None of the seven styles, Holman adds , were "revealing or daring."

The students said the picture of the model in jeans, 5weater, and corduroy jacket showed a woman who was a leader and one who was interested in· women's liberation . The same model dressed in jeans and av-neck sweater, though, was seen as having the opposite characteristics.

" Within a particular communication system, " Holman concludes ,"a woman wishing to be known a_s a

·fem inist might choose one style in a particular social si tuation. A woman who did not wish to be seen as a feminist might choose another style in that same situation ."

Other than that, Holman's unwilling to draw further conclusions. "At this point I'm like a linguist trying to

1 understand a new language."

"The Blue Hotel ," a film based on a short story by Stephen Crane, will be shown at 7 p.m. , Thursday , Jan . 18, in the Madison Room of the Strand Union Building at Montana State University .

It is the second of a nine­f i Im series titled "The American Short Story." There is no admission charge to this or any of the series' films.

"The Blue Hotel" is the story of a young Swedish alien who arrives at the hotel of a moody, frontier Nebraska town in the 1880s. He an­ticipates the wild west of dime novels--and parlays that anticipation into his own

death. Unable to relate positively

to his new environment, the Swede is antagonistic to the hotelkeeper and his fellow guests. A fateful card game results in accusations of cheating, a fight and a violent climax.

Following the 55-minute film, William Hjortsberg , a full-time freelance writer, will lead a discussion on the film .

Hjortsberg, who lives near Livingston, is the author of several novels Including " ALP", " Gray Matters ," " Symbiography," "TORO ! TORO! TORO!" and "Falling Angel." His books have appeared in both hard and soft cover edition in the United States and England, and they have been translated into French , Spanish and Portugese.

Articles and stories by Hjortsberg have appeared in Playboy, Esquire , Look, Sports Illustrated, Oui , Cornell Review, The Realist , Penthouse, Grays Sporting Journal, Last Supplement to the Whole Earth Catalog and New York Times Book Review.

Hjortsberg was named the recipient of the Playboy

Editorial Award in 1971 and again in 1978 . He also received a creative writing fellowship grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1976.

He has written six film scripts under contract with various major motion picture stuidos. His "Thunder and Lightning" was released by 20th Century Fox in 1977.

Hjortsberg has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Dart­mouth College. He has also studied at Yale Drama School and Stanford University.

The film series represents a century of American literary heritage. In "The Blue Hotel ," as well as other films in the series , great effort was made to successfully maintain the author's original point of view.

The series is funded by the Montana Committee for the Humanities , The National Endowment for the Humanities, Friends of the Gallatin Libraries, Loranz Gourmet of Bozeman and Focus on Women at MSU.

$t! JJJr1 New waves on ELP beach orJ 1rrrl1

by Paul Cotter The most surprising thing

about the new Emerson, Lake, and Palmer album, Love Beach , is the front cover. Posed before silhouetted palm trees as the Bahamian sun descends in the background, the band's three members look like Latin lovers on the come. They all have dark tans, shirts open or buttoned down to the waist, bright , shiny, white teeth sparkling through fake looking smiles, and rigid, macho postures. This is a far cry from their previous album cover art which featured unique paingings and classy graphics. ELP's old albums' designs put forth an aura of respectability and so did their music.

An unusual trio, the band's members originated from three different sources. Keith Emerson, classical keyboard player and synthesizer vir­tuoso began making music with The Nice. Greg Lake, guitarist and potent lead vocalist started out with King Crimson. An extraordinary percussionist, Carl Palmer, lent his early talent to the British band, Atomic Rooster, before joining ELP.

versatility, power

With the combination of Emerson's musical versatility (he can switch from classical to ragtime with equal con­fidence) and composing power (he's released one concerto, said by some or­chestra members to be harder to play than the symphonies of "the masters"), Lake's strong, clear, booming vocals which seem to have enough volume to fill an entire musical hall, and Carl Palmer's advanced and sometimes syncopated percussion work, these three talented musicians have produced impressive and sometimes striking results. The rock world could look upon such ELP recordings as Tarkus, Trilogy, Pictures at an Exposition, Brain Salad Surgery, Works: Volumes I and II, and their classic first album as an equilibrium to the screaming seventies mania music which has geven Rock a bad name i.e. Kiss, Bachman Turner Overdrive, and Ted Nugent.

In 1977, ELP went so far as to embark with a full or­chestra on a nationwide tour, hoping to give their then new Works: Volume 1 the proper exposure it needed in order to sell. The orchestra, however, was so expensive to maintain, they lost money every time they went onstage. Sub­sequently, the orchestra tour

was cancelled and ELP suffered a large financial blow. Realizing this, one may speculate about the stimulus for their new, almost " Disco Man" image as portrayed on the cliche' front cover and by the majority of music on side one of Love Beach .

Songs one through five on this album are unquestionably the worst efforst ELP ha~ e·•er recc,:ded. Titles like "All I Want is You," "Ta.ste of My Love," " For You," "The Gambler," and the title cut contain stupid, inane, banal, and overtly over­romanticized lyrics written by Lake's past work indicates a profusion of romantic love songs ("From the Beginning ," "Still You Turn Me On," "C'est La Vie," and "Watching Over You") and although he has never possessed the writing talent of Bob Dylan , these new "love" songs lack the intensity, feeling, and sincerity of the previous efforts. The lyrics practically destroy the songs. Also, the music is considerably bland on these tracks. By the time the fifth song spins around, the effect is aggravating.

the Common Man." Emerson has the ability to make old styles sound fresh. This song marks the turning point on the album.

side two, superior Side two's music is far

superior musically, con­ceptually and lyrically. Emerson composed all the music and Sinfield (without Lake) handled the words effectively. The second side is filled with one long , connected piece entitled "Memoirs of an Officer and a Gentleman" which in the usual ELP tradition manages to capture a far off time period, a kind of beautiful nostalgia that they've never lived through personally (exemplified in " Pirates" and " Lucky Man.")

The concept is broken down into four parts : a) " Prologue/The Education of a Gentleman" describes an officer's noble training, b) "Love at First Signt " avoids the corny sentiment of side one's love songs and carries the theme with charm and elegance, especially with Emerson's rolling piano work, c) " Letters From the Front " is a soldier's correspondence to

The sixth cut, a welcome his loved ones back home relief at this point in embellished with a Tommyish listening, is "Canario," an irony, and d) " Emerson's adaptation of a Jim Rodrigo Honorable Company (A piece reminiscent of ELP's March)" rounds out the album excellent reworkings of Aaron with a polished, dignified Copland's masterpieces, instrumental which not only " Hoedown" and " Fanfare for reinforces the concept's

theme, but also restores the listener's confidence in ELP's ability to create worthwhile music.

The contrast between side one and two's musical quality

and style is enormous. By not abandoning their old musical style completely, ELP showed that they fear the reprisal of the ardent fans who've supported them faith-

fully for the past decade or so. Perhaps Emerson , Lake, and Palmer want to be ac­cepted on a wider level than was hitherto possible due to their former albums' in­dividuality. I will wait, however, to see what direction their next album will take before labeling them as just another commercialized (ut-. oh , there's that d!rjy word again) pop band.

Third straight loss

Cats fall to NAU 82-68 by Mark Beatty

The Montana State University Bobcats lost a pair of conference games on the road last weeK'end. On Thursday night they lost to defending conference champions Weber State 59-51. Two nights later, they lost to Northern Arizona 82-68.

Though they lost both games, they played extremely well In the first one. In frorit

of a highly partisan crowd of 7,195 at Weber State's Dee Center, the Bobcats played tough defense and were in the game right until the end.

With 2:03 to play, WSC was up by two points and had a player at the free throw line. He dropped one of two shots and MSU had a chance to pull within one. However, Mick Durham committed his only turnover of the game and

MSU was forced to foul. The Wildcats refused to miss and went on to their sixth straight win over the Bobcats and 28th out of 34 for the series.

WSC was led by their 7'1" center Richard Smith. He scored 15 points in the second half to finish with 20 for the game. All-America candidate Bruce Collins scored 14 points, all in the

first half.

14

The M&M boys paced MSU in scoring. Leroy Moreno had 1 O points and Arnold Mc­Dowell led the Bobcats with 14 despite playing only about half the game due to foul trouble and eventually fouling out.

MSU Coach Bruce Haroldson was pleased with his team's efforts, if not the final result . In the post game radio show Haroldson said , "Tm just so proud of them. These guys did a super job against a heckuva team." He added later, " This is the first time I've felt good about the team since Christmas."

The most prominent aspect of the game was the com­bination of the Bobcats ' tough defense and the Wildcats' poor offense. WSC

sank only 32.8 percent of their field goal opportunities .

Two nights later in Flagstaff , however, MSU's opponents shot 54.5 percent from the field . Northern Arizona upped its record to 2-2 in conference and dropped MSU to 1-3 in Big Sky play. The Lumberjacks led the whold way stretching the lead to 20 points three times, the last with 4: 58 remaining.

Northern Arizona had five players in double figures led by Troy Hudson's 17. Wayne Wharton added fifteen , as did Wendell Ramsey . Mark Stevens tallied 12 and David Henson scored 10.

MSU was paced by Craig Finberg 's 19. Mick Durham added 11, all in the first half, and Arnold McDowell had 10, all in the second half.

The Bobcats play the last game of the road trip Monday night. On Friday , Jan. 19, they open a four game homestand , including three crucial Big Sky Conference encounters.

by Mariann Johnson Welcome to the first of the ORC's weekly columns! Every

Tuesday we plan to let you know the excit ing new adventures and information the ORC has in store for you as a student or faculty member of MSU.

If you're like some MSU students I've met , or perhaps a bit like I used to be, you may not be all that informed on what MSU's Outdoor Recreation Center is all about. You see, the idea for this column actually originated three months ago, during my first quarter at MSU as a transfer student. I had begun to inquire about rumors I had heard regarding the existence of a student-funded Outdoor Recreation Center. I was told things from," ... it's that big brown barn where the cowboys dance," to " ... I'm not sure, but I think that the Agriculture Dept. has some weird animals in there ... ", to" ... yeah, they rent cross country skis-real cheap.

Well , after such Inquiries, I decided it was time to find out once and for all what was in that big brown barn and better yet, what the ORC was all about. So, one day I took a walk over to the barn (better known as the Save Our Barn building) and much to my amazement I discovered a very complete Outdoor Recreation Center that was open six days a week, including Saturdays! "What devoted employees," I thought to myself. Upon further investigation of the Center, I discovered that it not only rented cross country skis, but equipment for backpack ing , bicycling , rafting and snowshoeing as well. To top that off , it aslo had an Informative staff that answered questions, gave advice, and even planned exciting adventures for MSU students to enjoy and learn from.

I was amazed! I not only foung a great Outdoor Recreation Center, but a gray barn free of weird animals and dancing cowboys.

I thought more people should know about this great place ... it's great equipment ... lt's great st'afl ... someone should write a newspaper column .. .
