Aging viaducts pose· traffic-ills by Emerson Schwartzkopf I

Two Auraria bridges may be • falling down in the near future -

and could take over $20 million to replace.

Both the Colfax Avenue and Larimer · Street viaducts directly west of the campus are ''far below

a. standard'' and in need of replacement, said Auraria Executive Director Jerome War­tgow on July-14.

And, Wartgow added, current deter.io!ation .of the structures may

~ p~o~b1t Regional Transportation District buses from using the two viaducts.

Wartgow said plans for both traffic arteries - providing main access to downtown Denver from

'9; the western sections of the city -are under study by a nine-member gPOup with city, state, and Auraria representation.

The Colfax Viaduct Task Force W artgow said, is now in the midst

r of a $200,000 federally-funded evaluation of the Colfax-Larimer viaduct problem.

War.tgow, speaking at an Aurana Board of Directors meeting, said, Auraria's main in­

,.- volvement in the study deals with traffic patterns throughout the campus.

As the Auraria member of the Task Force, Wartgow said "Our . . . ' pos1t1~n is: As long as you are replacmg the Colfax viaduct and the Larimer Street viaduct, let's look at the traffic system in the central core."

Wartgow said "it's no secret" to state officials that the current Colfax-Larimer-Lawrence-Inter state 25 traffic interchange align­ment is ''impossible.''

One proposal for replacement Wartgow indicated, involve~ making the present one-way east­bound Coif ax viaduct into a two­way thoroughfare, with a new major interchange at 1-25.

Such a proposal, Wartgol,V said would affect the Auraria campu~ by possibly encroaching upon the top of one parking lot.

Another replacement proposal for the Larimer bridge calls for construction of a new traffic viaduct two blocks northwest al?ng Walnut Street, Wartgow said.

A westbound Walnut Street via­duct would follow the plans of the o Skyline Parkway downtown traf- ii5 fie re-routing, proposed nearly ten ~ years ago. 5

ttews New administrator

expects a-good stay ~ LI ~~~~-by=---Jo_a_n_C~o_nr_o_w~~~~~

Dr. Antonio Esquibel is not new to the workings of a college administration. but since "coming on board" July 1, he has been busy learning, and rearranging, the system.

Esquibel replaced Robert Thompson • as the new MSC vice president of Student

Affairs. Thompson, who is presently taking a year-long sabbatical, will return to MSC as an instructor in the psychology department. . .

As vice president of Student Affarrs, Esquibel has primar}'. responsibility for the areas of Financial Aid, Admissions and Records, Student Affairs and Academic Support Services.

Esquibel said his frrst two weeks at MSC have been spent meeting with the staff from each· department under his jurisdiction to develop a restructuring

s plan for Student Affairs. "The restructuring is very minor,"

Esquibel said. "It's mostly to ac­comodate the (five) programs that were moved from Academic Affairs to Student Affairs.''

After the restructuring plan has been decided upon, Esquibel said, he will develop a job description for a ~rson who "will be responsible for all the positions Dean Schenck was, and also the new programs that were not in Student Affairs before."

Edward Schenck, who is taking a >- year-long sabbatical, was moved to. a

teaching position in the MSC English department after his position of dean of Student Services was terminated June 30, 1980.

"The decision of Dean Schenck's position being realigned was pretty much

( made before I came on campus, although of course I agreed," Esquibel said.

In an interview with MSC president Donald Mcintyre at an earlier date, Mcintyre said the position of dean of Student Services was terminated to give Esquibel "the flexibility to reorganize

' any way he wishes.•• ' Esquibel said he has not yet iden­

tified the job description for the new position. He said he would like ta keep the job open "for as long as possible" t~ encourage a large number of applicants. In the inte~, all the departments in

Viaduct continued from page 1

The present Lawrence Street viaduct newer than both the Colfax and

Larimer structures - meets federal ~ bridge specifications and will stay in use,

Wartgow said. Planning for the viaduct

replacement is still in the "conceptual" stages, said Al Shablo, pre-construction engineer (or the Colorado Highway Department's District 6.

.z "We want to find something agreeable to everyone," he said. "We haven't made a decision yet!'

Shablo said a preliminary ap­plication for $20 million in discretionary funds from the Federal Highway Admin­istration's bridge replacement monies is

~ under consideration for the Colfax­Larimer viaducts.

The next step in the replacement, Shablo said, is the development of a master plan for the project, with com-

Student Affairs will report directly to Esquibel. ·

A Denver native, Esquibel has held "' administrative positions at the University of New Mexico, the University of Southern Colorado and the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center where he directed the office of Minority Student Affairs. His last position was at the ~id­Continen t Regional Education Laboratory (MCREL).

Esquibel said he decided to come to MSC because he likes the philosophy of the school. He said he believes President Mcintyre is "committed to providing alternative education to the community.••

Esquibel said another reason he came here was because he wanted to devote some of his efforts to helping students at the undergraduate level. - "I have worked at ·one of the most elite types of institutions, the medical school," Esquibel said. "I found t~at one of the reasons for not gettmg minority students into the medical school was we didn't have students who were prepared to go into I_!ledical s~hool." ~

Esquibel said he met with ASMSC ~ president Sonny Wasinger once, and has ~ no plans yet to make any changes in the c5 area of student government or student 2 ~. l

"Generally, I would say <ri philosophically that students ought to be or. Antonio Esquibel pretty much responsible for their gover- · nment and have the largest voice in the Ch 1 W shin t use of their student fees,'' Esquibel said. - ery 8 g on

He also has no plans to make any Metropolitan State College Student changes in the area of admissions.

"The admissions standards that we (MSt) have now provide an opportunity for a wide variety of people in Denver, and I'd hate to see that opportunity lessened by -changes in our admissions policy."

Esquibel said making the change from MCREL to MSC has not been too traumatic because he is from Denver, and because he is familiar with the "relation­ship between Denver and Metro."

Esquibel said that the people he has encountered have been "helpful" and "receptive" to his ideas.

"I think if that continues I'll have a very good stay at Metro," Esquibel said.

pletion "in about three months." The plan, Shablo added, will then be

studied by an engineering consultant for feasibility. Wartgow said the cost for such a consultant would be in the area of $20,000.

Wartgow also noted weight restric­tions might be posted on the existing Colfax and Larimer vi~ducts prohibiting buses from using the bridges.

However, such a problem won't exist "at least another six months," said Jim Oliver, RTD's director of planning and scheduling.

Holistic health part of Indian tradition by Karen Breslin

Brooke Medicine Eagle's blue eyes and pale complexion belie her Indian heritage. And her sophisticated holistic jargon is occasionally hard to deciper.

But not long after Brooke launches into her pitch on holistic healfh, her heritage resurfaces in the sweeping hand gestures reminiscent of Hollywood medicine men. And when she begins to explain that she walks on the path of "Sacred Buffalo Hat Tepee" - a tradition of healing passed down to Brooke from a Northern Cheyenne medicine woman - her Indian creden­tials are firmly established.

Brooke was not always a holistic health crusader. When she was young, her family left their. home_ on a Crow reservation in southern Montana so she could attend 'decent schools. The reser­vation schools weren't very good, Brooke said.

How did she become involved in holistic health?

"Healing has always been my calling," she said. "I was always ban­daging a cat's broken leg, or bird's wings, even when I was young."

"When I was a child on the reser­vation," she continued, "none of the traditional ways were being taught.''

Her education pulled her away from her natural healing inclinations and traditional medicine, b.,ut led to her retur-

•

ning to the reservation after having "visions."

"Those visions," she said, "carried me back to the native people of the land."

And, to holistic health. "Where I come from in the Indian

tradition," she noted, "holistic health was always practiced."

What exactly is holistic health? Brooke explained about higher levels of wellness, taking responsibility for your health, and awareness of wellness; but it takes longer for those platitudes to make sense.

Essentially, Brooke said, holistic health treats 100 percent of an ailing per­son - the emotional, spiritual, and physical being in healing.

"Our cultural backgrounds isolate the particulars of the disease from the person, which is useful as a diagnostic tool, but it impinges on the theraputic."

She noted the trend in medicine towards specialization and the on-going focus on treating disease, sickness, and injury omits the preventive qualities of proper nutrition, exercise, and mental at­titude. ·

"What has been understood by my people throughout time is that there is no such thing as a physical disease," Brooke said.

Brooke stressed taking respon­sibility for our own health - not foreswearing outside medical attention,

Brooke Medicine Eagle

but to be "in touch with yourself to feel what you need."

She said there is no holistic formula for health because " every individual is so profoundly individual."

Brooke finds fasting and running to be instrumental in maintaining her health.

The fasting, Brooke said, cleanses her body of toxins and other impurities. Running puts her in touch with two planes in traditional healing - Mother Earth (the negative plane, she explained, encompassing food and water) and sun, the positive plane.

"In our society," Brooke said, "we are so concerned with eating that we don't get enough sun and air."

Brooke said she feels her best when she is in contact with Mother Earth, run­ning in. the high country, lying on the ground, and eating natural foods.

Foods picked off the land and with "some life force in them," like dandelion greens, have the most renewing qualities, Brooke said.

Along with her promotional tours on the National Holistic Health Network, Brooke bas a private practice in New Mexico. Her treatment varies according to the ailment; a minor muscle ache may be treated through "gentle manipula­tion" of limbs, unlike the harsher chiro-

' praetors.

More deeply rooted illnesses involve making the patient aware of the "whole spirit of things, the aliveness and possibilities that lies with each of us," Brooke said.

Clearly, holistic heath is a lifestyle, and Brooke said it can change commun­ity values.

If her healing has been effective, she said, "it becomes obvious that you wouldn't pollute your atmosphere or eat food that doesn't serve you."

"Every individual I touch," Brooke said, "I feel kind of radiates out."

How does holistic health vary from a common sense approach to life?

" I don't think a common sense ap­proach is supported in our society,'' Brooke said. "A lot of people never really feel healthy, and miss the joyous experience."

Our society instead creates and con­dones tension through the work ethic, Brooke said.

Along with her practice and the lec­turing, she is a poet. She plans to con­tinue these pursuits, because "day to day I'm continuing to learn. I haven't begun to learn what I will when I finish my life." Editor's Note: Brooke Medicine Eagle will appear at a Holistic conference in Estes Park Oct. 3-6. MSC is offering ex­tended campus credit for the conj erence.

Eller: As-signed. to all Denver

Howard Brown

Coming out the north entrance of the Art Building, you head for the Lawrence Street crosswalk to the Student .ti. Center. You cross the street, turn left and, at the end of the block, turn. right and head for your car in Parking Lot,E. It is a clear, sunny Colorado day, with the mountains etched in the distance, Mile High Stadium echoing the rush of the cars on the Valley highway and a billboard seemingly rising out of the railroad yards. Spotting the billboard, you have found Eller Outdoor Adver­tising of Colorado.

Inside the light brick, deco-style, garage and office building, men and wemen go about the business of outdoor "l advertising - in a word, billboards. The day begins at 6 a.m., when poster crews load up with pre-pasted posters and fan out across the city putting up the latest message. Cigarettes: a swarthy cowboy atop a horse before an emblazoned Marlboro country background or a pack of Salem plastered over a bubbling water­fall. Liquor: a long, sleek woman in black clutching Black Velvet whiskey. Cars. Airlines. McDonald's. "You're drinking Diet Pepsi... and it shows."

The ideas, graphics and copy are hatched in a mid-town Manhattan ad , agency office. But tbe agency's work, months of illustration, photography, copy writing, layout and evaluation, backed by years of experience of what makes a billboard get the message across, only pays off when the men of. Eller sweep their brush~ across the faces of billposters on over a thousand billboards in and around Denver.

Story and photo b~

Mike Scherer is president and general manager of Eller of Colorado. He has held this position since 1974, eleven years after he joined Eller as a salesman.

"I was trying to get into sales," Scherer says, his squarish face set behind rectangular glasses in the corporate look

(.

of the day. "I had come back to Denver after playing the city-to-city, move-for­advancement game. There were no sales openings in the area, so I was ready to sign again with a big national company when I ran into a friend at the Outrigger bar and he told me about Eller - right ~ here in Denver, no less."

His secretary is eighty-year-old Ber­tha Agarth.

"She's been here since she was 18," Scherer says. "She's the greatest secretary in the world."

When Bertha was eighteen, Denver was really a c~wtown. Yet, in the same structure Eller owns today, a billboard company was putting ·out posters since before this century. Advertising was a lit-tle different then, with ads such as "The Belmont and the Chester. Arrow Collars, with a notch that locks. 15¢ each, 2 for a 25¢." -

The billboard industry is filled with tradition, since billboards are the oldest form of advertising. Tom Crane is the signpainting foreman at Eller. Stocky, head covered with hair, the Mountain Man, as friends call him, is a fourth generation signpaintei:.

"I've been at Eller fot twenty years," Crane says, sitting before a massive lnternorth billboard, with an arrow extending up from the second N. His father worked at Eller, too, until retirement a few years baclc when young Crane was his boss.

You need more than two wheels Bicycling has been a popular

sport for years but today's rising transportation costs have made bicycling a viable means of transpor­tation. Whether for sport or tran­sportatl on, there are some guidelines to follow when riding or buying a bicycle.

Tom O'Hara,, of Mountain Bicyclists Association, said anyone Interested In bicycling should first educate themselves on basic bicycling laws and on how to handle the bike In traffic. There is much more to bicycling than pedaling.

"People take lessons to play tennis or golf and It would be insan­sane for anyone to drive a car without being taught first. So It is just as in· sane to ride a bike without education," O'Hara said.

Mountain Bicyclists Association Is a non-profit group. They focus on the bicycle as an alternate means of · transportation and offer bicycling

'

clinics and seminars to members. A riew book, Basic Bicycllng, designed for the beginning bicyclist, h8-S just been published by the Mountain Bicyclists Association. The book ex­plains In detail what you should look for In a bicycle.

The frame Is described as the "heart" of the bicycle In Basic Bicycling. Lower priced bicycle frames are made of steel tubing, making them too heavy. Higher priced bicycle frames are made of alloyed steel and are lighter and easier to handle. When shopping for a bike, look to see if the frame tubes are joined smoothly and a good paint job will help determine the quality of the bicycle.

There are three styles of frames: the standard men's frame, the women's frame and the mlxte frame. The standard men's frame Is rigid but not comfortable tor women. The women's frame Is more Inefficient

Flats in· the past with new Denver tire·tubes

Bicyclers of the world, rejoice. The perfect bicycle inner tube - one that won't ever go flat - is here.

The No-Mor Flats tube can run over nails, travel thousands of miles on rough roads, be punctured with an electric drill, stabbed with scissors, an~ pierced with an ice pick ... but, claims inventor George Roberts, the Inner tube just keeps on rolling.

Roberts, with a patent pending on his invention, said the perfect tube took seven years to develop.

A former vice president of North Denver Bank (and owner of a chain of Denver Fina gas stations), Roberts said he wanted to make a flatless tube because "all summer long, day after day, I'd see kids coming into my stations to put air in their bike tubes. I thought there had to be some way kids could get around this, so I star­ted working on It in m)( garage at home."

Roberts worked on his invention part-time and sometimes all night from 1971 to 1975 - and then sold his stations· and other interests to work on the tube full time.

"Everybody thought I was crazy," he said.

The inventor, a Denver native, experimented with all kinds of materials - garden hose, wood, rope, aluminum, all types of rubber, silicones and urethanes - in developing the tube.

' '. It was strictly a trial and error process," Roberts said, "and there were a lot of crushing dlsappoin· tments. I had a cork tube that wouldn't go flat, but it wouldn't hold up under stress. I had a plastic one, but it was too expensive and the ride was too rough.

I knew this tube had to be something that kids could afford and

also come as close to air as possible. I didn't want them to shake to death riding on It."

Roberts said he still believed rubber would make the best tube, because it was soft as well as tough, and he worked on methods to bring down the costs of using rubber for his tube.

His experiments eventually in· volved him with rubber and chemical companies in New Zealand, Japan, Ohio, New York and New Jersey, as well as with Gates Rubber in Denver.

"I'd run sample after sample," he said. "It was slow. We'd get the right rubber, but it would be too thin and it would crack. But in 1977, I finally perfected the formula for the perfect tube.

"When I knew I had it, I cried." Never-Air Corporation, the firm

Roberts heads in manufacturing the tube, opened its office in Denver in 1978. The company arranged for the tube to be tes~ed by Huffy Bicycle Company of Ohio, the largest bike manufacturer in the country.

The tube checked out to Roberts' satisfaction following thousands of miles of torture trials for performance and durability, in­cluding braking capability, load and stress capacity, temperature fluc­tuation, and all types of puncture resistance.

The No-More Flats inner tube has a hollow, ambient air pressure core and is made of rubber with ad­ditives giving it the required con­sistency to be flat-proof and allow a smooth ride. The valveless tube maintains constant tire pressure regardless of weather.

Gates Rubber Company, the Denver tire manufacturer, began production of the flatless tube In

because the U-shaped design means less rigidity and the energy meant for pedaling is absorbed by the frame. The mixte frame is most popular because it is still rigid but the top bar is slanted to be comfortable . for women.

The amount of gear should be determined by the needs of the bicyclist. If you are just planning to ride to school or work a three-speed or five-spee~ may be all you need. If your needs exceed basic dally com­muting a ten-speed may be better.

There are three types of gearing for ten-speeds: Wide range is for touring to handle different terrains. Close range is for racing to achieve high speeds. General purpose gears are mid-range between racing and touring.

Braking systems come in two types: coaster and caliper. Coaster brakes are found mostly on single speed bicycles and only to stop the

November of last year. "We are very enthusiastic about

the future of this remarkable new tube," said Robert Watenpaugh, marketing manager of industrial hose for Gates. "We at Gates are happy to supply this revolutionary product developed by a Denver in· ventor."

rear wheel. Caliper brakes are located on both the front and rear wheels and come in two types: cen­.ter-pu 11 and side-pull. The type needed is determined by the type of bicycle you are buying. Duel position brake levers or 'safety levers' do not add anything to braking efficiently and are not found on higher quality bicycles.

Where you buy a bicycle is as Important as the bike itself. O'Hara warned against buying a bicycle from a department store. Instead, he said, go to a bicycle dealer. At a bicycle dealer, you are less likely to find poorly constructed bicycles and It Is crucial to business that the customer be satisfied. The bicycle salesman can help you decide which bike Is right for you.

The Kruell brakes of. bicycling· ,_

r

by D. Railer As I sit here In my concrete cell, Images of bicycles race through

my mind. Not your healthy scenes of good, clean exercise, but dark brooding men on slec'~ machines endlessly rotating on a steel track. These are sick thoughts; indeed, but then again, I am a sick man.

Whatever the cause of my illness, I can trace t_he initial rearing of Its ugly head to that summer afternoon when my older brother offered to teach me how to ride his bicycle.

In America, .making the move from tricycles and training wheels to the big two-wheeler is the equivalent of some forms of South Pacific pr~puberty rites. In Pago Pago, for example, older brothers systematically hurl their siblings into coconut trees as part of their initiation rites. In essence, this is what my brother did to me under the guise of cycling.

I should have known better than to trust him, but -I wanted to ride so bad I relaxed my defenses.

The first time out I was thrown against an oak tree with such velocity that my baby teeth were- imbedded in its bark. The second time, I left a bloody skid mark the length of our driveway. I wouldn't

· give up, so he tied me to the bike and beat me with a tire iron. From that ominous beginning, my relationship with cycling has

been associated with pain and degradation. When I was a young man on his first trip to Europe, I had the misfortune of meeting Madame Latricia Von Kruel!, a Bavarian of voluptuous proportions and sickening morals.

Madame Von Kruell wore a black leather cycling suit, complete with metal studs at appropriate (and some I nappropriate) locations. She was'the only cyclist I have met that used a whip to make herself pedal faster.

Oh, the disgusting nights we spent in her castle! Madame Von Kruell put me through paces my brother could not imagine In a thousand years. If only the Marquis DeSade had lived to ride a Motobecane!

Since this Is a family publication, I dare not reveal the details of

;-

those dark Teutonic episodes. Just let your mind wander to Its deepest recesses of humiliation on two-wheels, the twilight zone bet­ween beast and bicycle.

One day I awoke in a filthy alley In Munich, my body a mass of bruises and my mind addled by potent drugs. I had served Madame Von Kruell well, and this was my reward.

Over the years I tried to put those thoughts out of my mind. I went to a psychologist who specialized in cycle-related psychoses and soon believed myself cured.

I got a job in Boulder making soap-box derby cars for rich kids. I belonged to the Jaycees and became a United Methodist.

I manaoed to live a respectable, if borinQ, life in the foothills. i was . dating a young woman named Beth. She was sixty vertical Inches of purity and light. After three months of dating, she allowed me to hold her hand for brief periods. Little did she know of the seething passion repressed within my heaving chest.

It was bound to explode someday. It happened on a shopping trip to the " Hill," that sleazy section of Boulder known for burnt-out hip­pies and cheap drugs. We were looking for props for an anti-dope display Beth was making for the church, such as heroin pipes and marijuana injectors.

We rounded the corner on Broadway and saw a crowd lined up along t!'le gutters. " P!:)rhaps a veteran's parade," Beth said. "Perhaps," , I answered.

As we got closer, I heard the words 'Red Zinger' mumbled. That triggered something in the animal recesses of my mind. My blood began bolling. My hair stood on end. Right before my eyes were fifty bicyclists attempting to make the same corner at high speeds. Sud· denly the first biker went down. Barn Barn Barn! The thud of flesh and pavement and bent metal tubes was more than I could bear.

Before I could totally ravish Beth on the sidewalk, a group of by­standers pull .me off her limp form and wrestled me to the ground.

The trial was short and my sentence long. Today I sit in my lonely cell, my thoughts not on repentance, but on that night in Bavaria.

four hand painted billboards bolted to aframe in Eller's garage. There are 2 kinds

rl of billboards - poster pan€ls, brushedon by work crews on location, and pain-ted bulletins, crafted by artists in theshop. The artists are part of a unionwhose concern for new talent is more likea guild of artisans from days past.

a painting sand - to be viewed at a dis-" tance of a few hundred f.eet."There's no creativity to it," Brown

says, a sandy-haired man, with a roundface and thick black glasses. He is lowkey, but attentive to the issue at hand.

"I'm doing this because I gan't sur-. vive as an artist here. Sure, I do my own

thing. But art is very political a4d I guessI'm timid about exhibiting. "

~-/Jl~5~7¥/L Relief from Vietnam genre

by S. Peter Duray-Bito

THE BIG RED ONE Starring Lee Marvin and Mark Hamill. Written and directed by Samuel Fuller.

With conservatism creeping back in­to the American way of life, a movie like The Big Red One is inevitable. Unlike the recent trend of Vietnam war movies, showing the apathy and ineptness of the common grunt, The Big Red One looks at the strengths of soldiering as a way to survive.

The distinction: The Big Red One is about a different war of what is now becoming a different age - World War II.

The story follows a Sergeant (Lee Marvin) and his rifle company and their campaigns through North Africa, Italy, D-Day, Germany and Czechoslovakia. The Sergeant is a veteran of the first big war, and a short vignette at the start of the film sets up a basic theme of the con­cept of time in war.

The Sergeant is wandering through an embattled World War I array of dead men and steaming weapons when a figure stumbles through the pre-dawn haze. A German soldier, hands held over bis bead, is repeating "Der Krieg ist vorbei," ("The war is over"). The Sergeant silen­tly steps behind him and stabs the Ger­man to death. Later, the Sergeant reaches

'

a bunker where a beleaguered comrade tells him the· war was over four hours ago.

The film cuts to North Africa where American troops fought the Germans for the first time during World War II. His four troops are fresh out of basic training and the film establishes their characters quickly and thoroughly.

They land and briefly engage the French until everyone comes to their sen­ses and the French embrace the Americans. Here, the film scores two points. First, the dawn skirmish is ac­tually filmed at dawn, with the low con­trast blue light adding an extra element of unreality to the scene. Secondly, the scene manages to show the utter con­fusion of war better than nearly any other war movie except maybe Apocalypse Now.

The film continues in a taut and ef­ficient manner. It avoids unnecessary scenes such as generals planning attacks or the navy and air support helping out. The camera follows only the Sergeant and his four men .. . and, occasionally, a German squad whose leader will _later meet with the Sergeant in a re-enactment of time.

The four kids are survivors. Streams of replacements come in only to be shot or killed. The movie begins to ask the question: why do these four survive? Are

they special? At orte point a newcomer asks one of

the four whether he will get killed like the rest of the replacements. The veteran replies: "Why not? You think you're something special?''

Time. Being in the right place at the right time. But, also, the four went into action together and that seems to guaran; tee a ticket out for them all.

The Big Red One was written and directed by Samuel Fuller, a hack1direc­tor of the fifties who has been trying to live up to the potential of his first film I Shot Jesse James - a low-budget pot­boiler that received good comments from an unexpected source: the highest echelon of French cinematic critics. Fuller fell out of favor with movie executives to the

point where his last film was Dead Pigeon on Beethoven Street, done for a German movie studio in 1972.

Now, Lorimar, a film company gradually acquiring a name for showcasing directors like Hal Ashby, Blake Edwards and John Huston, gave ..t Fuller the chance to put together a film based on Fuller's own experiences with the U.S. Army's First Infantry Division during the Second World War.

The Big Red One shapes up to be a case where a grade B movie director has the chance to make his one big film. The Big Red One works well because Fuller had 35 years to think about it. And he wrote a simple, effective script to take full advantage of the issue of war.

Stones keep rollin' and rockin' by S. Peter Duray-Bito

EMOTIONAL RESCUE ._ The Rolling Stones

Mick Jagger - lead vocals, guitar, piano; Keith Richards - guitar, piano, vocals; Charlie Watts - drums; Ron Wood -guitar, pedal steel, bass; Bill Wyman -bass; Ian Stewart, Nicky Hopkins -piano; Bobby Keys - sax; Sugar Blue -

~harmonica; Michael Shrieve - percussion; Max Romeo - back-up vocal on "Dan­ce." Rolling Stone COC 16015

* * * * * The Stones have done it again. With Emotional Rescue, the Stones

j....Offer a little bit of everything they have done over the years.

There is classic Stones in "Summer Romance," "Indian Girls" and " All About You." There is new wave in "Where the Boys Go," reggae in "Send It To Me," and Some Girls-type disco in

, "Dance," "Let Me Go," and "Emotion­. al Rescue."

In short, Emotional Rescue is the best balanced Stones album.in.years.

The cover reminds one of the Exile on Main Street cover, with the concept of anthropometric man being as intellec­

~tualized as a Talking Heads cover. ef "Dance" begins with Jagger won-

dering what he's doing "on the corner of West 8th Street and 6th Avenuuuuue." Later, Max Romeo belts out some Airto inspired vocal percussion.

"Summer Romance" has a classic . Stones beginning, with Watts working at

his attempt to get the beat off the gJound while Richards and Woods w~il on Rhythm guitars. The song then flo!s into a Goats Head Soup period repr ating theme. .

"Send It To Me" reflects Jagger's .,.._association with Jamaican Peter i:,osh. •Bill Wyman can sJrut a reggae bass line with the best of the reggae masters.

"Let Me Go" is a standard Stones tune with Watts highlighted on his dance hall snare drum. As the song develops, Jagger's lyrics gradually blend into "let me ego."

~ "Indian Girl" represents the classic (again) Stones hallmark of a quiet love song to finish side one. This particular song is vagueU:_!eminiscent of "Angie," though not nearly as sensuous. Jagger's voice takes on a decided Rickie Lee Jones twang and an uncredited synthesizer --....: .. vo1cmg.

"Where the Boys Go" is unabash­edly new wave in its atonality. Jagger goes back to his own punk beginnings

with a wonderful English pub accent. When he chants "do you want to dance, or do you want to fight?" one ·visualizes the classic Jagger stance: lips smac~d around the microphone, ass jutting out, fists in the air and eye taunting a sexual soiree.

"Down in the Hole" is a blues song about being in a foxhole/gutter. It is probably the weakest song on the album because, over the years, Jagger's songs of plight ring less true. Sugar Blue on the harp gives the tune that extra touch.

"Emotional Rescue" is arguably the best cut. It begins somewhat disjointedly, as if the band wasn't quite sure of Jagger's new ·falsetto fun. As the song unwinds, the band begins to stretch out, with Bill Wyman playing some of the finest bass 'of his career. Bobby Keys' sax solo is perfect and the song ends leaving one awed at the magic this band can put together at tim,es.

"She's So Cold'~ courts new wave but ends up as another Jagger veltlcle a la Some Girls. His voice sounds strongest and comes across with the greatest pur-pose on this cut. · .

"All About You" is a warm, nostalgic song with Keith Richards singing in a raw Dylan-esque manner. Perhaps the song carries on too long, but it is still a great endpiece.

Over the years, the songwriting talent of Jagger and Richards has become legendary. It is, too often, easy to forget about the Stones rhythm section: Wyman and Watts. They add, immeasurably to placing the 'Stones into musical history. Emotional Rescue features the rhythm section almost as much as the mouth.

H Bob James Bob James - piano; Fender Rhodes , Oberheim PolYl'honic synthesizer; Gary King - bass; Buddy Williams - drums; Hiram Bullock - guitar; Grover Washington, Jr. - soprano sa~, tin whistle; Airto - percussion; Liberty De Vitto - drums; Ralph McDonald - per­cussion. Columbia JC 36422

* * \12 H is the eighth letter of the Alphabet, which follows Lucky Seven~ which followed Touchdown (6 points), which followed Heads (and tails of a nickel - 5). This is how Bob James names his albums.

It is probably the most exciting thing Bob James does. His musical arrangements are second best and his piano playing ranks a distant third.

Looking back, it has always been Grover Washington, Jr.'s mellow, sen­suous sax that has saved Bob James' albums. But on H, not even Grover can pull up the mediocre compositions.

James has some acceptable arrangements here, notably the opener "Snowbird Fantasy" and "Thorough­bred." Washington's only composition, "Brighton by the Sea," suffers from JaQles' syrupy production of an essen­tially st~ong soft-funk numper.

The major criticism here is James' mediocre sense of lyrical and structural harmonies. His themes rarely go any­where and when they do it is because of an innate sense of rhythm that James stamps on his pieces. That rhythmic sense is why he was so popular during the late-· disco-seventies (disco fans had a tendency to like mindless themes anyway).

It used to be James' albums made pleasant background music. H is fine when you're eating a dog.

FLESH & BLOOD Roxy Music Bryan Ferry - voice, keyboards; Phil Manzanera - guitar, Andy MacKay -saxes; Allan Schwartzberg, Andy Newmark, Simon Phillips - drums; Alan Spenner, Neil Jason, Gary Tibbs- bass. ATCO SD 32-102

* * '* * Roxy Music is the original new wave

band. As far back as 1973, they were put­

ting together an atmosphere of slick egoism and flashy rhetoric. They out­paced art-rock bands like Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Yes in down-to-earth rhythms buf took a cynical, sardonic look at the state of life.

Now, with the new wave psychosis upon us in full force, Roxy 'Music has taken a lyrical, and musical, step back-wards. -

Flesh & Blood is an intimate and sophisticated pop rock album. The themes are very well arranged with ingenious touches to make them sound fresh and contemporary. As with most pop sounds of late, band leader Bryan Ferry has assembled a varied and promin­ent rhythm section, evidenced by three drummers and bassists in the credits.

There are no real stand-outs on this album, except maybe Wilson Pickett's "Midnight Hour." Yet there is a strong line of continuity throughout this album that makes you want to take it in all at once. ~7301 Federal Blvd.
