Fed exec performs . . . L politidl piriNi#te L . 1

Contrary to a statement made two weeks ago in the ehevron by vice:president Ron Hipfner, the federation executive will-not resign en masse in September, but; as ,of press time, Federation president Doug Thompson was still destined to resign.

The chevron learned late Wednesday night from Thompson that he had not yet decided’to resign even though Hipfner had told the chevron and Kitchener radio stations that he had.

Thompson, who has been away from office for over a month said, “My leave of absence will be terminated in the immediate-future - probably Monday”. He stressed that things have “changed drastically” since he left in June. ,

When he was reminded that his vice-president was telling everyone that he had agreed to resign, Thompson said it “may be a misunderstanding on Ron’s part”.

L The chevron then contacted Hipfner< who affirmed that Thompson had agreed to resign “several times in the last month”. He added that Thompson had handed in his resignation in early June but there had bee’n no,action taken on it then.

Hipfner then contacted Thompson, to remind him that he had earlier decided to, resign.

\ Hipfner then-phoned the chevron with a changed position from Thompson. The president apparently had relented saying he hadstoM Hipfner of a decision toresign.‘He therefore re-affirmed that he would leave in the fall. He also consented to hand in a written resignation on Monday after consultation with the executive. He will decide thenwhether he intends to stay on his leave of absence. -

Another flip-flop occurred at the meeting of the executive last Thursday where they voted 5-2- 1 to “remain in office until the completion of their term.” In his statement to the> chevron, on July 4, Hipfner wrote that we- (the executive) are tendering our resignations effective the date a successor to Doug Thompson is elected in late September. But some of the executive say’ Hipfner didn’t consult them.

Bruce Rorrison, chairperson of creative arts, says that if the executive resigns -.during orientation it “would only add to the confusion”.

Don Orth, chairperson of co-op services, thinks that the executive should be responsible to council, not the president and is against what he calls the “If I go, we all go” attitude. .

But Hipfner considers that a new president would be entitled to a new executive. Randy Barkman, co-chairperson of publications, sides with Hipfner, saying that the resignations would clean up the federation. _ ,;-- / However, Thompson-; Hipfner, and ’ Orth will still resig$n. September.

Orth is going to grad school while Hipfner is committed to a job in Toronto for the , fall.

Up until Wednesday all the chevron knew of Thompson’s whereabouts was that according to Hipfner he was visiting a friend in Montreal: 0-n June 15 the Federation Board of Directors gave Thompson a six-week leave of abscence to deal with ‘-urgent personal ,problems’ ’ . _-

He was reminded that since- quorum was not achieved he would not be heard as a delegation.

“I’ll take that to the cro.wn too”, he said. .

Smylie’s plans to lay charges against councillors were revealed in last week’s chevron. Earlier in

the meeting, -while Smylie was out of the room, some councillors checked Robert’s ru1‘es to see * whether it was possible to eject him. Apparently this would require a two-thirds majority. N-o action was taken.

qommenting on this, math coun- cillor John Long said, “Smylie may be the biggest unifying force ever in the federation.” ’ -

New poiic~ for vi@ grads - -

Grad students who are in Canada on a student visa will have to visit the local immigration offices every term from now on, if they wish to be employed as teachingassistants.

A new policy, announced re- cently by the UW graduate studies administration, stipulates that a grad student must obtain a separate work permit for each teaching as- sistantship that s/he holds.

Inthe past, a foreign grad-student only needed to visit immigration once per year for a work permit. This permit allowed the st_udent to earn money by way of teaching as- sistantships with UW.

Sam Flares. a foreign gra>’ stu- dent in Computer Science, says that the new policy not only sub-

jects visa students to frequent visits to the immigration offices, but will also cause delays in the payment of these students for their work.

The delay will occur because xteaching assistantships are not as- signed until the beginning of the term. Since a visa student must

‘wait until his teaching assistantship is assigned before applying for a work permit, and-since the ,payroll department will not process a re- quest to pay a visa student until, a work permit is obtained-payment will be delayed for at least a month.

Flores says that U W should relax its requirements by accepting work permits for teaching assistantships in a specific faculty. Flores pointed out that grad students are;fre-

- ,

b :

qiently assigned teaching assis- -fantships -,outside of their depart- ments, and so it is difficult- to pre- die-t what the details of a work per- mit will be. This problem has not occurred in the past because UW did not require the permit to be specific.

-Graduate Studies administrators were not available for comment this week on the reasons behind the new policy.

Members of the Graduate Club executive, lowever, will meet with Lynn Watt, dean of graduate studies, next Wednesday to discuss the new- policy and the possibility of relaxing it.

So what else &new? , _

Jobless rate still high ,- -=:. 8; Despite government handouts to

the private sector and the “raging success” of government job- creation programs, record levels of- unemployment persisted through- out June.

--compared to 2 156 in early May,(see frep‘ chevron, .May I3 i. in - Ju~nk there were 671 placements. The centre has placed 1343 students since it opened in March, including I10 in the -federal government’s

Young Canada Works,- and sum- mer job core!programs.

ernment had received 2 I;000 appli- cationsfrom employers by June 30, and Bobren says they will have had about 26,000 by the end of the summer. She has no idea of the cost of the program, although she ex- pects it to exceed the $10 million figure announced by the provincial government.

According to a-statistics Canada report issued this week, the number of people unemployed in Canada- dropped for the second consecutive month. However, the seasonally-adjusted unemploy- ment rate went up to eight per cent, from-a May figure of 7.9-per cent.- The seasonally-adjusted rate is based on the fact that there are more jobs available in the summer

than in the winter. - L The total number of unemployed

in June was 814,000, <down from 824,000 in May. This compares- with 702,000 jobless in June of 1976.

Taylor says the number of con-. struction jobs is down from last year, but there are jobs for lifeguards and counsellers at sum-. mer camps. Also, in the past month there has been an increase in the number of clerical jobs, which is quite usual since many full-time people in’ these positions go on summer holidays. --

The decrease in the number of

The unemployment rate of eight per cent is down slightly- from the April figure of 8.3 per cent, the highest since the depression of the 1930’s.

jobs in industry and construction is in part responsible for the increase in the seasonally-adjusted unemp- loyment rate. -

In Kitchener, Karen Taylor, of the Student Manpower ,Centre, considers the past month encourag- ing. “It’s definitely a difficult -job market this year,” she said. She says that in the face of the poorjob market, the centre did intensive publicity in soliciting jobs, and,had good response from \employers.

~~ The program is supposed to create jobs by giving employers a $1 per hour subsidy, towards the wages of each summer employee.

In Waterloo county, there were 470 applications/‘from employers and 845 positions created as-of June 30, she said. . p

A random sample of 1000 per- sons who took jobs indicated the average number of weeks per job is 13.8 and the average wage is $2.70 per hour, although it -ranges from $2. I5 to $6.50. per hour.

The‘ survey also revealed that 23.9 per cent of the jobs are in the food sector, 19.3 per cent in retail, 18.4 per cent in general industry,

-and IO per cent in,the farm sector. ’ For students, the-picture is quite

grim. The jobless rate for students planning to return to school stands at 14 per cent, while those who do not plan to return and who are en-- tering the potential workforce face an unemployment rate bf 17.3 per cent.

A survey conducted. by the-free chevron earlier this term revealed that 23 per cent of UW graduates were, unemployed a,nd a further 23.5 per cent had either non- commensurate jobs or. temporary or part-time jobs.

Feds ‘make declarations I Sunday’s council meeting failed to get quorum, but that didn’t stop it

from sending provincial leaders a telegram to protest differential fees for foreign students and discussing motions approved by the fecent,Charlot- tetown conference of the National Union of Students (NUS).

The telegram, drafted by fieldworker Morris Ilyniak, says international students are not a burden on the taxpayers or the economy of the province -and “Ontario has benefitted substantially from the infusion of educated and trained immigrants”.- It also referred to the “cultural diversity en- hanced by the presence of international students.”

The telegram calls for the abolition of the’ differential fees. - At- the suggestion of several councillors, a paragraph will be added saying the protest will not end with the telegram.-The telegram will also be sent to Premier William Davis and local MPP-Herb Epp, rather than just to the opposition leaders as was originally planned.

The meeting a.p,proved by straw vote NUS motions: _ -caTling on university administrations to accept their responsibilities as landlords when administering on-campus housing and to do all that they can to ensure the availabiiity of reasonably-priced and inhabitable housing for their students. -opposmg the proposed changes in the Unemployment Insurance Act that could increase the qualifying period in some areas from the current 8 weeks of work in thepast year to 12 weeks, saying instead, that the period should be decreased if it is necessary to allow for regional differences-in the unemployment rate. \ -that NUS members pressfor “open-door budget processes at their governing body levels, so that the extent and location of specific budget cutbacks can be assessed.” Information gathered should be sent to NUS. -that the purchase price of Canada Manpower Training Program courses at community colleges include student union fees so that these students can be represented. -oppose admissions tests and encourage research into the inadequacies

.of such tests to predict students’ success in their programmes. -oppose the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline, support the Berger Report and “strongly urge” the government to accept its recommendations. -encourage NUS members to send bilingual delegates whenever possi- ble. _ i ‘.i-- .

According-to Wynnyckyj, Scott . ~ had changed his position on the thesis when the numerical dis- crepancies were pointed out to -- him. \

ers from outside the university, a chemical engineering masters stu-

-dent waited a full year before his ‘faculty reluctantly accepted his thesis and recommended him for his degree. .

Early in 1976, Norm Williams, a student from Jamaica, submitted a first draft of his thesis to his super- visor, Dr. Wynnyckyj. Claiming that the thesis was incomplete, Wynnyckyj rejected it and asked that some of the experiments-be remodelled.

Williams thought that he hadgiven. a good explanation and that Wynnyckyj had not read the paper carefully. On the advice of another professor, Williams had the paper typed and submitted to the chair- man of the department for distribu- tion to readers. -

Three of the four readers(includ- ing Wynnyckyj) requested major changes in the thesis. The fourth, Dr. Scott, found the thesis accept- able with minor changes,

Wynnyckyj has stated that*the problem lay in “technical and numerical results -which were in- consistent”. He asked that certain experiments be repeated, and Wil- liams refused. Williams claims that Wynnyckyj “just didn’t buy my ideas’ ’ .

Williams objected to the chair- man of the department, then Dr. O’Driscoll, and he was told that if her’satisfied one examiner 1 Dr. Robinson - then he would be re- commended for a degree.

According to Williams, Robin- son agreed that-if the minor criti- cisms of -the first draft were cor- rected then he could “forget the harsher comments” of Wynnyckyj and the thesiswould be acceptable.

Williams submitted a revised thesis to the department, and to his surprise was told that all oft he orig- inal tedders had rejected it as unac- ceptable.

Robinson said that his -official comments on. the thesis were all {written and given to the student. When asked about anything he may have said. to Williams, Robinson stated that he “didn’t want to go on memory;” _

Scott refused to talk “with the chevron on any topic.” No reason was given.

In July, 1976 the department of- ficially rejected the thesis, and upon appeal to the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies in Engineering (Dr. Leipholtz), it was sent to three - examiners in the United States, all experts in their-field.

All three of the examiners ac- cepted the thesis‘after some minor corrections.

By this time, Williams had left Waterloo and the/conflict con- tinued unknown to him. The case . was taken to the Engineering Graduate Studies Committee in the spring.’

Although objections were raised, the committee endorsed Williams’ thesis in a closed session. Williams has now-received his degree.,

Although Williams was not in- formed of the- meeting, Leipholtz maintains that the proceedings were: ‘legal” and “fair”. Wynnyc- kyj was not invited t%j keep the

-

“emotion” -out of the hearing. The department still maintains

that the thesis was unacceptable. . O‘Driscoll feels that the opinion of

’ those who are acquainted with the student’s work is of greater value than that of outside readers. He added that “acceptance or rejec- tion of something, when it’s border- line, is’a hard job.‘:

This is not the only case of a . thesis beingrejected by the chemi- cal etrgineering department and subsequently approved. by readers

in the United States. r Five years ago, Wynnyckyj re-

jetted the thesis of Dave,Day, a student from India. Upon appeal to the associate- dean of graduate studies in engineering, the thesis was sent to external readers and approved by’ them. -Day received his degree in May, J972.

National team trains at UW for World Games

The Women’s National Basketball Team on Campus in the PAC is training for the Summer National Program.

This program will feature Canada’s team competing in the FISU games, i.e. the World Student Games to be held in Sofia, Bulgaria. Combined with this major competition the girls will also do a two week tour in Bulgaria and Poland as a tune-up for these games.

The team is working out twice a day in the PAC for ten days. The camp commenced on July 12,1977 and will be finished on July 21, 1977. They can be seen every afternoon from 2:00-4:00 p.m. under the guidance bf Don McCrae, University of Waterloo’s Men’s Basketball Coach, who is named the Women’s National Coach for four years.

The girls on the team come f-rom across Canada. From Halifax, Nova Scotia, the tallest girl on the team at 6’6” is Debbie Steele. She is currently a student at St. Mary’s University. From

,New Brunswick comes Sylvia Blumenfeld. From Quebec the two girls are Sylvia Sweeney and Elizabeth Silcott, both mem- bers of Concordia University’s Women Basketball Team.

Ontario has three girls named to the National team. They are Chris Critelli, from St. Catharines, and Michelle Belanger from Timmins. Both of these girls play at Laurentian University. Candy Clarkson comes from Ancaster High School and is the youngest member of the National team. She will play in the preliminary rounds but is not eligible for the World Student Games. From Manitoba comes three girls, two of whom play at the University of Winnipeg. They are Angie Johnson and Dori McPhail. Gail Winston is also a me’mber of the team and she comes from the University of Manitoba. British Columbia has three girls named to the National team. They are Beverly Bland, Holly Jackson and Gail Klaver. Both Beverly. Bland and Gail Klaver go to Simon Fraser University while Holly Jackson plays at Calgary.

More Basketball During the month of July the University of Waterloo and the

Athletic Department in conjunction with the Waterloo County Board of Education are running the Athletic Enrichment Prog- ram at the PAC. The program runs from 9:00-l 1:30 a.m. and is followed by a one half hour swim. The participants in this prog- ram are generally students-from Senior Public School and some from Junior High. They are being instructed by teachers from the Waterloo County Board and the program is being assisted by the University of Waterloo’s Athletic Department. The main function of this camp which is a day camp is to provide oppor- tunities for students to select activities, in this case basketball, so that they migh$ concentrate on the sport and develop some proficiency.

The camp involves two two week situations. The first camp which will conclude on Friday, July 15, 1977 is the largest camp with approximately 75 to 80 participants. The following camp which will go for the last two weeks will be a somewhat smaller camp, in the order of 40 to 45 students.

A few words from the friendly local prosecutor The following is part of a conversation chevron editor

Neil Docherty had with acting federal prosecutor Eric Hafeman following Doug Wahlsten’s court appearance /as t Friday.

The charge against Wahlsten was withdrawn because the prosecution claimed much of its evidence was inad- missable (for full story see page 1).

But in response to complaints about some of the treat- ment Wahlsten received, Hafeman defends the RCMP actions arguing that it is the only way for the police to get any evidence.

Hafeman: You guys are running around writing all this stuff and you don’t understand the basic administration of justice.

Docherty: No, what we don’t understand is why someone can be taken to jail for 12 hours, not allowed to make a phone call, have his house ransacked, and then be told he’s done nothing wrong.

Hafeman: People are sitting in jail for weeks on end for non-serious criminal cases while the police investigate. What do you expect them to do?

Dochetty: What I don’t expect, is for some person to be taken for 12 hours, refused a phone call, and have his house ransacked. I’m sorry, I get quite upset at that.

Hafeman: You do! All right. What do you expect the police to do, just set this aside for a moment.

Docherty: No, let’s deal specifically with this case. Hafeman: No I just want to give you an idea of the-

procedure in criminal law and the criminal in- vestigative process. What do you expect the police to do? You want them to protect you, and you want them to enforce the law. Now what do you expect them to do? - “Good morning Mr. Wahlsten, we’re here to investi- gate you, mind if we walk in?” Well?

Docherty: Yes, that sounds reasonable to me. Hafemqn: It does? it does? Well my friend.. . Pocherty: So why don’t you explain to me what’s

wrong with it.. . Hafeman: (emphatically) Well they’ll never get evi-

dence on anything. Docberty: They don’t have anything theway they did j

it anyway.

Hafeman: Of course they do. Docherty: Oh /they do.. . Hafeman: Of course they do. Docherty: Why the hell aren’t they prosecuting? Hafeman: Because it’s not admissable. e Docherty: Why? Why isn’t it admissable? Explain

that to me. Hafeman: I, I did.. . Docherty: No, all you said is that the rules of evi-

dence apply, and that it could be dirty laundry. But it isn’t dirty laundry. What is it? Is it books? Is it telephone tapes?

Hafeman: Do you expect me to say that to you? You must be out of your mind.

Docherty: No, I want to know what it is. You keep saying its inadmissable evidence. I’ve no idea what that is.

Hafeman: Yeah, and you’re never going to know. Docherty: So what’s going to happen with it now?

This inadmissable evidence.. . who keeps it? Is it going to get burned, shredded. . .?

Hafeman: That’s up to the police.

Not inf/uential in campaign In response to Nick Redding, Laurie

Gourlay, “Mewhinney Criticized”, I would like to point out that I was not in the least an influential or (apparently) influential person in the Mewhinney campaign. I was a plain and simple workee. In the period of my working with the campaign, never once did I see either of the authors of the letter. I would love to know where the hell they got their . information. In fact if I had any role in the decision-making processes, and I did not, I would have likely advocated placing the ad in the paper, if only because the other two candidates did so.

I feel there has been a very definite im- provement in the Free Chevron-Chevron since December 1976, but I feel care must be taken not to waste energies on the Federa- tion, Thompson is dragging 1 it down very fast, the students of Waterloo know him for the corrupt bureaucrat he is. ‘\ Why not take a positive tack and’droduce some articles on how the cutbacks are going

to affect the university students in 1977, and how those same students can work to fight the cutbacks.

To end, I think that care must be taken not to fall prey to the same type of paranoia that lead the Federation to close the Chevron in Sept. 76, I am not out to get the Free Chevron-Chevron.

Franz Klingender

Franz Klingender was a member of Shane Roberts’ executive who voted to close the chevron last September, and is the person who subsequently lobbed a rock through the chevrkn’s off ice window.

We too feel that the chevron has been im- proving -not only since December, but since last summer.

We also consider ourselves to be one of the leading groups on campus involved in fighting the cutbacks; and have done much more on this than Shane Roberts, Franz Klingender and the rest of last year’s executive.

Content is the sole responsi- bility of the chevron editorial staff. Offices are located in the campus centre; (519) 885-l 660, or university local 2331.

Life here in cc140 is becoming normal, as the sound of bussing phones and snapping typewrit- ers again fill the room. The council now is passing pious platitudes that will mean less than the paper the motions are printed on if the council doesn’t act on them. Will little douggie thompson ever keep his word and resign? Will larry smylie ever resign (the sooner the better)? Maybe council could impeach him, or Is that too much to hope for? The important thing though is to thank the great folks who during the course of the week made it down to the office to help out.

That is as long as they can use sledgehammers and the evidence is admissable. The investigation will soon be in high gear in its search for what went wrong last September.

story line of-the good guys versus the master criminal, then- adds a horrible twist. The victims in the devilish plot are ordinary people enjoying themselves-at an amuse- ment park. ,

f Timothy’ Bottbms is the perfect choice for this icy villain with

. nerves of steel. All his& movements are calculited and confident. .He nkver raises his voice or makes any technical mistake. He -has pdlice across the country scrambling aim- lessly to trap him and thtiart his

- plan. George Segal is t)le ride in-

spector who detects a disturbing pattern of unexpected accidents. He realizes t‘hat a psychop’aith is ;it work even before Bottoms ’ pres- ents his extortion plot to the mil- lionaire amusement park owners. _

The first disasteroccurs on a ride that Segal, had checked himself shortly before. It is this crash that is depicted-in vivid detail for the vie- wer. Certainly, it ‘must be one pf the most bathetic sce,nes of instaN human catastrophe ih movie his- tory.. .__ .

The- settililg is totally natural,, somethitig everyone cpn identify pith. A bright, wy day at an amhsement park with friends or family. A breath-taking ride on a roller coaster, the. windy_ blowing baCk everyone’s hair. _

-% And then,, a iness. Crunshing met& Streamers, tents and booths being ripped down. Close-ups of tormented by-standers and emp- loyees. A roller coa_ster car full of people shoots through, the air and lands upside ‘down on the pave- ment. ,

After this cute little episode, the big chase starts. Bottoms leads his pursuers on an agonizing trail ac- ross the country. It culminates in a tense battle of wits, while thr&gS of cheery people remain unaware of the explosive results/The rollel: coas’ter\ continues zooming along ominously. 4

The Sensurround technique is used simply for its sudden -shock value.- The rumblings might have been effective aspart of the movie if they had been paired, with equally nauseous filming. Unfortunately, the conn&tion fiever happens. There are shots on the ride as the camera takes you up an,d over every steep hill,. but not so terrify- ing that it makes you want to regurgi-d tate your popcorn. Perhaps if it .$ere projected on a giant screen, like Cinesphere, the film would _*.- havethe effect of others like This is- Cinerama 71952) and North ‘of Superior (1971). Instead, the photography is only moderately exciting and the Senslurround l%- comes annoying.

Even though the story is barely distinguishable from any TV police story, the effect is different. For once, the audience does not sym- pathize with the criminal. There is contempt- rather than admiration y f& his clever, diabolical scheme. Even-his mastery of disguise, elec-

tronics, markmanship and demoli- tion do not make him lovable; The innocent deaths he causes are just too sickening. His own squishy demise serves as a permanent les- son to him and other mean charac- d ters like him.

“Mm& Island” * ,

The 3. Geils’ Band, c&mLosed of Peter W&f, J-. Geils,-Seth Justman, Daniel Klei-n, Magic Dick and Stephen Jo Bladd, have

--digressed from their tiusical pqst in recording their -latest album Monkey. Island (Atlantic: KSD19-103). They employ female backup -and lead vocalists, saxes

’ atid-trumpets to-throw an entirely new sound into their music.

led “I’m Falling” and is unfortu- ‘nately Gke a Leo Sayer tune; the _ name of which escapes me, but i- believe it’ s called “ _Sqotlight” . This is-a mellow, laid-back tune, with a plinky piano and sax and trumpet wailihg away near the r end. This song may be a reflection on some disillusionment’Wolf has experienced, or maybe an at- tempt to cash ip on some corn- .

where. One has to wonder if those lyrics are sincere, though. Are they realljr-‘ ‘falling” ffom fame to’ poverty, or just what has hap- pened to this band?

With the exception of ‘,‘Mon- -key Island”, “I’m Not Rough”, and possibly’ “Surrender”; this album is totally out of character for J.G.B. T-he band has existed with the same six members since

-pleasant -tune, almost like Country-futik. Peter Wolf tries hard to be .melloy and pieudo- sexy, but it’s hqd to take. It’s easy to see that his voice-belongs. in r&b, rock and rcjll’s origin. In this tune, the instruments are right in the background, with an- eaqy rhythm in percussion, and nice mellow lead guitar and

’ organ. ’

The third cut, “I Do”, is a 50’s rocker that could easily be played by Sha Na Na, and-would proba- bly come off just a? well. This tune has its full complenient of “do--do‘do. . .“,- “do I love you... yes I do”, and contains an excellent harp so_10 by Magic

*Dick. Trumpet and saxe’s play a large r’ole in this song, which could best be described as a brief shot of old time rock ‘n’ roll.

The secpnd side starts out will with the title cut, “Monkey Is- land”. This song seems to be di- yided into two parts: an introduc- tion with *no vocals, followed by the main body. The special ef- fects in this song include: ,an is- land beat (naturally), heavy left to right-shifts, and the use of a phase

-. shifter to give that “spacey” ef- feet which-works with some syc- cess with other bands/The hol- low harp sound from “Surren- der” comes through once more, and all of these.sounds combine to make a very strong cut.

/- “Somebody”, the fourth cut is one of the best songs on the album in the traditional J.G.B. style (it’s competition would be “Monkey Island” -or “I’m Rough”). It con. &ins the lyrics best suited to Wolfs voice, those in ‘the rough style of a tough life and shady peers. He-finds his downfall in-a fatalistic woman, Marlene, who evid@.ly betrays him to those he ripped off. This song can almost be linked to “Chimes” ‘(first re- leased on “Ladies Invite@2 in ‘73, then a much stronger live version of “B.Y.F.O.” in ‘76). It is complete with the hollow, hau&ing harp, -which I first notice&i “Hotline” (‘75), and+ the ragged-yet excellent guitar of J. Geils, _ The fifth cut onside one-is cal-

_ .

“I?m. Not Rough”’ comes off well at the stqrt with nice harp-

_ work and-easy going guitar. How else can it be described? -Vocals are typical J.G..B., with such phrases as “I’m‘%& rough.. . crazy ‘bout your love”, etc. Magic Dick breaks loose in fine form to complete this tune.

The third cut, ‘ ‘ Sg Good”, con- tains once more litieral use of the

_ shifter and again that-hollow harp sound; but not to the same end as in “Monkey Island”. This is a che&ful, bright tune with backup

- female vocalists and lyrics such as, “ so good, so good”, “so glad you’re :mine” ,‘ “be with you all the time”., Again, with the oohs a?d ahhs, it’s a little out of line

- with J.G.B. qaterial of the past, but is not as weak musically as a lot of the garbage dut today.

“Wreckage”, the fourth ,a@ last cut on side two, is so reminis-

‘cent df Dylan, you’ve got to check the album to make sure you haven’t had a time lapse some-

its creation 9 pears ago. This causes one to wonder just what has caused the sudden change in their rJnusica1 direction. Perhaps

‘this album indicates to us that J.G.B. has been working them- selves into a comer musically and were never really into their old style.. This i_s- hard to believe, especially if you’ve ever seen th?m iq concert.

Peter Wolf (Faye Dunaway’s hubby) is an intelligent, well- read, artist (however rough he fray appear on stage). He spent three years on ‘scholarship at a school of fine arts in Boston, where the band originated.- Perhaps he has felt stifled all along, and has finally found enough confidence to expound h’is range pf songwriting. I was tempted to label this as a sellout when I first heard it; but have sihce ‘decided this can’t be the sole reason for the switch, since there ddn’t seem to be any singles on it. Surely they realize that what following they do, have is strong, albeit not too large. For this reason, I wonder why they would risk losing some of’ their following by such a sud&,p change of $yle. *-

As a final comment, then, this album is definitely not typical of hG.B. as they have come to be known. If you are already a fan prepare yourself for the surprise. If dot, sit back with an open mind_ arid try to decide for yourself where the bahd is at musically, for this is the cause of some confu- sion in my mind at least.
