Seating limits In; students out _

~ Enrollments up; sPace a problem by Brian Coffey-Weber

Burnham echoed that senti-ment. "We're limited by

facilities; not an enrollment cap/' he said. . One reason for the spape pro-blem is the enforcement of new classroom seating capacities.

Burnham, UCD's director of ad-missions and records said that it is a little hard to tell what the final count might be, but he did say, "We're running about 10.2 per-

To appease fire department of-ficials, Schoemer and some of his staff went through every classroom to determine each rooms' capacity. In three rooms another door was added to allow for more seating.

In all, 138 class rooms were in-spected. Acording to Schoemer, 10-12 were severely affected by the capacity restrictions.

While the fire marshall may be pleased, Curtis said, the capacity rule "kills us over here (in admissions)." _

Curtis said his department quit taking applications a week before classes began and that he is pro-

~ing registrations day by day. He. added that the waiting lists for classes normally-do not run past 100:_ They have exceeded that this year.

"We're telling students (on waiting lists) they don't stand a good chance of getting in class," Curtis said. "We'll probably disappoint more students than ever before."

News Auraria gains stud~nts and parking problems

'[ by Beth_ Galka Couldn't find a parking space last

week? (A lot of people couldn't.) Missed your class? (A lot of people did.)

Don't despair, help may be on the rway.

The Auraria parking lots are equipped to handle five thousand cars, yet ap-proximately ten to twelve thousand cars are commutting to Auraria, according to - Raul Gomez, Director of Ad-ministrative Services.

Why has parking lot usage increased significantly since last spring?

A recent article in a Denver newspaper saying that Auraria offered a cheaper parking alternative to the downtown garages. Gomez said this

could be a contributing factor to the over-crowded lots.'

Since the article appeared it has. been proposed that all cars parked on campus must have an Auraria parking decal. This would prevent downtown workers from using the lots but would eliminate

,;; only a small percentage of the problem. If and when the Tivoli Brewery is con-

verted into a shopping mall Auraria will lose lots B and E that are adjacent to Tivoli. That move means a loss of ~p-

proximately 800 spaces. Gomez said this would not happen for at least two years, though. ,

At the same time, there are plans for additional parking lots on campus. The Parking Office is receiving estimates to pave two undevelped areas adjacent to Lot A (Wazee and 8th) arid Lot T

(~ azee and 12th). Gomez also explain-ed that he is certain there are no future plans to change tile athletic fields into parking lots.

The possibility of a five level parking garage that would hold approximately two thousand cars is being discussed. The major hurdle in such a project is money. It has been estimated that the construction cost alone would be $12 million. To mitigate the cost to Auraria students ad faculty, monthly passes would be sold to the general public. A structure like this wo~d have to pay for itself, Gomez said, and the public would be allowed to purchase'monthly passes.

Gomez attributes much of the conges-tion to first week chaos and more people than normal on campus at once buying books and getting IDs. He expects the parking crunch should ease in the next few weeks.

Finding work is work.

Lindemar said. "Recruiters enjoyed meeting with mature students who had experiences in other types of jobs and women's volunteer experiences that hon-ed their skills in budgeting and manage-ment which are transferable to paid experience."

Auraria has growing pains Some plaflning and direction can

make that work easier and help your education pay off. The Job Placement

.c Service is a free -service that helps Aurarian students launch their careers.

The Graduate ~lacement Service helps seniors and alumni find career positions. Every student using this ser-vice builds, a. file which contains academic information, a resume, and ~ letters of reference from faculty and

employers. The office will mail a copy of this file anywhere that a student re-quests. The files are also available to recruiters.

Workshops are held to assist students with resume writing, jqb search

strategies, and interviewing techniques. To improve interviewing skills, mock in-terviews are conducted and recorded on video tape.

Steve Shipley managed the center un-til August 26 when he resigned to take a

. ..-c.Job in private industry. Assistant Manager Marilyn Lindemar has tem-porarily assume'.i many of Shipley's duties. .

According to Shipley a common com-plaint from recruiters is that students botch their interviews. Interviewing

..., _students should be confident and present a self-image that will be an asset to the job. They should research the company and prepare for questions the inter-viewer will ask.

''.The office received a lot of posi_tive _ comments from recruiters last year,"

So far over thirty busin~ firms and agencies are scheduled for on-campus interviews this fall. Seniors and alumni interested in interviewing must com-plete a Personal Data Form and attend a .Recruiting Orientation Workshop. Since recruiters will be on campus starting in early September, students are urged to contact the office soon.

New GSL limits may, stifle loan& by Karen Breslin

As of October 1, need will become a criterion for eligibility for the formerly unrestricted Guaranteed Student Loan Program,. according to Colorado CSL director Doug Seipelt.

Independent ~tudents with a yearly income of $30,000, including salary of a spo~, and dependent students from families with incomes of $30,000 or

more will have to prove need through an analysis to be conducted by college financial aid offices.

Prior to these changes almost any student could receive a GSL regardless of financial need. Dependent undergraduate students could borrow up to $2,500 per year. Independent undergraduates c0uld borrow up to $3,000 per year from commercial banks throughout the state., The nine percent

interest on the loan is federally subsidiz-ed during the student's school years and a six-month grace period allowed following graduation.

Repayment commences after the grace period and may be extended to ten years. Should the student default on the loan the GSLP purchases the loan and repays the lender.

Under the new guidelines the per-year loan amount for undergraduates has dipped to $2,500 for both dependent and independent students. A five per-cent loan origination fee also is being levied.

"Anyone who has a gross family income under $30,000 will qualify to borrow much the.same as they.do now," said Seipelt.

For example, Seipelt said, a student in the $30,000 bracket attending a college with a yearly cost of $3,200 would be re-quired to have $3,400 before being eligi-ble for a GSL. In such a situation the student would be ineligible, the cash reserve would exceed the educational costs.

A similar family, however, might venture to a school with a yearly cost of $8,400. They would then be eligible for $5,000 in loan.

But for those above the income cap-, the new guidelines will require a reserve of ,cash . to be applied towards higher education before applicants co.uld be eligible for loan money.

The change, Seipelt says, makes the program "quite different than the pro-gram it was before .. . designed to meet credit needs of families who didn't have the cash."

In four years time, Seipelt estimates, the $30,000 a year family borrowing $3,000 per year could incur a debt close to $12,000 with monthly payments reaching $300 a month in the student's fourth year.

"You can't equate need with the need to borrow," says Seipelt. "We can't af-ford a rampant Guaranteed Student Loan Program but higher education has to have credit to survive."

The new guidelines reflect an administrative shift requiring families to assume greater responsibility for financ-ing higher education.

"Subsidizing the student while in school is when the expense comes into the government.'~ Seipelt said, "They've decided they want to return it back to

' the family. " A department of education official

echos at sentiment; "The first respon-sibility of educating students beyond high school belongs first to the family, then to the student," he said. "But; I firmly believe the Reagan administra-tion believes in assisting students to go to school, it's an investment in the future of America."

At one time the GSL program " operated under an income cap of

$25,000 but, it was lifted in 1978, Seipelt said, because it "shut the doors" on student borrowing, for families the program was designed to help.

The $30,000 income cap could hit quite a few people, he said.

"I personally tried to champion the concept of an income cap," Seipelt said,

"but the $30,000 limit was too low." He-:' prefers an income cap of $35,000 ad-justed gross income.

"I have felt that change had to come, it was getting to where the program was costing itself out of house-and-home -.as long as interest rates went up," he ~ said, "I felt the program had to be slow-ed down and see some savings."

Seipelt is uncertain of the changes applying to the lending institutions:

"There's been no withdrawals yet," Seipelt said 'Tm not sure where we will be next year.

Last year Seipelt said the program initiated 32,000 loans in Colorado. Na-tionally, Seipelt said the number of loans could plunge anywhere from 30 to 45 percent.

Will there be more cuts in the pro- ' gram? "I think potentially, the (Reagan) .-administration may still want to look at it carefully and take more out of it," he said. "Possibly the administration may not make further cuts in '82, but maybe in '83."

to this point will not affect enrollment here," Whalen surmised.

John Mason, assistant director of financial aid at the University of Michigan Dearborn said he h~d no exact figures but ezj>ected his school's enroll-ment to go up. He was not too happy about financial aid cuts.

"We're getting less dollars but have higher costs," Mason said.

Despite less federal money and with 50 percent of his students relying on aid Mason still has faith in the school's future. '

"To survive, urbah schools will have

... .

to continue to be unique," Mason said. "We have to draw on career oriented students and not the traditional students."

A financial aid official at UTEP, who asked not to be named, said with late registration the extension school's enroll-ment will easily reach last years' level. He also said about 50 percent of the 15,800 plus students receive financial aid.

UTEP's BEOG and supplemental -grant program has been reduced slightly but the work-study program was given a fortunate 2 percent boost.

All the administrators voic.ed concern over federal belt tightening. They ~ expressed optimism, though, about their schools' growth potential and felt they were viable alternatives to traditional four7year schools and felt they could easily survive.

Soclal security not sacred

Survivors benefits cut, too -.

by Randy Golkin When President Reagan won the

< battle over the budget and signed the 1982 revised plan into law August 13, many Social Security benefits were cut - including aid to coll~e students.

Before the bill was passed, full-time students 18-21 years old could get

__ monthly checks if one or both of their parents died, retired or became disabl-ed. But all of that is changing and by April 1985 this benefit program will be extinct.

The. process of eliminating college students' benefits will begin in ~ September 1982 with a 25% cut in

benefits. Benefits will then be cut 25 % each year for three more years until they are abolished in 1985.

J'he amount of each student's benefit check is based on the size of fhe family and on the income of the parents when

i. they were working. One MSC student who finds himseU

in this predictament said, "I only get, $170 per month now, and once they start cutting my check 25 % each year, I don't know how I'll make it. But. one -~ thing is for sure, I will finish school one

way or another." However, annual cuts only apply to

those who started (or will start) school before May 1982 and were eligible for benefits before August 1981. Students who become entitled to children's

.. benefits after August 1981 will only receive payments until July 1982.

The new law has also taken away sunimer benefits and no checks will be issued May through August regardless of whether the individual is attending school full-time or not.

< Finally, there will be no more cost-of-living raises except for those beneficaries who just became entitled to benefits after August 1981. These students will receive one more cost-of-living hike in June 1982, which will apply to only one - and their last - check.

< All of this cutting and snipping away at Social Security benefits may drastical-ly effect some students in higher educa-tion, but Joel Ross, field representative of Denver's Social Security Administra-tion said, "at least they are trying to ease

them out slowly." The unfortunate students will have time to make other plans.

The number of students who will be effe(:ted by these cuts is actually a small minority. For instance, there are ap-proximately 15,000 students at Metropolitan State College but only 558 of them received Social Security ~nefits between June-pecember of 1980. Ross

added that only about 1,600 students in the Denver area and 7,451 students out of the entire state received Social Securi-ty benefits last year according to Uune 1980) figures.

However, this small percentage of students brought Colorado's share of Social Security benefits to $20.9 million in 1979-80. Even though the entire Social Security system paid out $104

billion last year, $20.9 million is nothing to shrug aside. In fact, Congress plans on saving the Social Security system $10 billion over the next five years by slowly phasing out these student benefits.

While this bill may prove to be worthwhile to the legislators, it will hurt the students who are striving toward a goal and using their benefits to help pay for their education.

Auraria bike thefts down, but precautions needed Happily, bicycle thefts are down on campus. David

Rivera of Auraria Public Safety is happy also over the decline in thefts. Where twenty thefts occurred in June 1980, six happened last month and only eight from April l - June 30 "of this year. A public information campaign, combined with campus police patrolling the six parking racks on campus, and bicyclists themselves more conscious of the risks to their means of transportation has worked. There is still more to be done.

Between noon and 1:00 p.m .. on Monday, July 20 and again on Friday July 24, I observed the bikes at five of the six parking racks on the main campus. I ig-nored those machines parked on signs, posts, fences, trees or other living things. While AHEC bicycle regulations forbid on-campus parking at other than of-ficial parking spots, convenience conspires againSt the regulations. The problem is especially acute at UCD. I counted two bicycles at the two archaic bicycle racks and fourteen along the parking meters and posts that ring the East Classroom Building.

I counted sixty eight bikes on Monday and 47 on Fri-day. The methods of securing the bike to the racks were as often curious as they were incautious. A new Peugot costing maybe $700 has a thin chain with a rus-ty key lock; the bike could 'Qe unsecured in a few seconds. An old worn Penney's three-speed is secured with a Citadel RK 200 which promises to be im-pregnable. Mr. Rivera told me how he observed a woman tie her 10-speed around a round post with but a thin chain. A thief could lift the bike and chain off the post and 'walk away with no effort expended! In all, fifteen bikes had the kryptonite or citadel lock while an even hundred used some combination of locks and chain (the bike racks are constructed so that only a lock is necessary to secure bike to rack).

What most astounded me is that only 30 bikes were licensed, wi~h ten percent of those having outdated 1980 plates. The License Bureau for the City and County informed me that some thirty bike thefts have been reported daily over the past two months, the same rate as last year. Fifty-three percent of those

Reader blasts Reagan .cuts The Reagan budget cuts are a declaration of war on

the vast majority of people. The very lives of poor and working people are under attack. The middle class too will be- affected. With the exception of the very wealthy all will see their living standards decline as a result of the Reagan program. These cruel cutbacks go hand in hand with increase in racist viOlence, militarism, and attacks on women's and lesbian and gay rights at home and the U.S. military adventurism abroad, While the Reaganites plan to cut Social Security for the elderly, food stamps for the poor, school lunches for children, education for our youth, healthcare and job safety, and a hundred other social problems, unemployment continues to rise and infla-tion goes on unchecked.

Yet there is no shortage of dollars to feed the military machine. There is no lack of money fqr tanks, guns, planes, and bombs which threaten the people of El Salvador and all of Central America, the Carib- bean, southern Africa, the middle East and Asia. The majority in the U.S. Congress; including a large seg-ment of the Democratic Party has rubberstamped the Reactionary Reaganite program. They do not repre-

sent the millions of working people and poor employed, unemployed and. students, the elderly and disabled: women and men, gay and lesbian, all nationalities.

Our voices must be heard. A massive day of Resistance from cities coast to coast is being called for middle or late October where hundreds of thousands would take to, the str~ts to demand and to WIN a turn-around in the Reagan program. It can be done. On May 3rd, last spring over 100,000 marched in Washington and several other demonstrations ranging throughout the nation was held. We are ready to act.

Inmate seeks letters July 5, 1981 Dear Students:

I am writing this letter in hopes that I will be able to have this letter run in the school student paper. The reason is because I would like to contact the large number of people who can relate to what has happen-ed to me since I have .been in the United States.

To the students and staff that read this letter, my full name is Randolf Burt Fritz, I prefer though to be called Randy. I am a 27 year old German, and was born on a ranch in War Ward, West Germany on April 13, 1954. I graduated from the University of Bonn, in Bonn West Germany in June 1977. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Childrens Psychology and an Arts Degree in Human Behavior.. .

In July of 1977, I buried my family which were kill-ed in a house fire. Understandably, for a while I was

lost. I then received a letter from a Dr. Bill Overhusler, asking.if I would consider an opening on his staff at a care center for the Blind and Mute. I ac-cepted and then came to the- United States on November l, 1977.

,

In the months that followed, I met some not very nice people. I am now again alone and would like to find some friends h~re in the State of Colorado-

To all that should consider an answer to this letter, I would like to be honest with you and say that I am in prison at Canon City. I am here because I shot a guy that beat and raped a 19 year old woman. I am not a convict or a criminal, I am just simply a man that believes in a certain set of rules for life. I am a gentleman and I do not play games with my life or any life I may come in contact with. I am different in many-ways. But I mean what I say, and say what I mean.

Please feel free to ask any questions, and I shall answer all letters and questions as received.

Respectfully, Randy

stolen bikes that are registered are retrieved, while the figure of those not so registered has fallen to ten per-cent from almost twenty percent a year and a half ago. -Why did the latter decline? It would seem that criminal rings who specialize in bicycle thievery are now disassembling stolen bikes and reconstructing them. The frame number of the reborn bike will still betray its origin if it was registered, but if nonregistered, the police are unwilling to confiscate _ what no longer looks like the original machine reported stolen by the unhappy citizen.

Crossing Speer and Colfax to the Fire Department Headquarters, anyone can have their bicycle inspected for free and receive a license form. One will then have to go to 1200 Broadway with $2 in hand to get this im-portant license. Any Denver resident without a license is br~aking the law since municipal ordinance requirt:S ' licensure of all Denver bikes.

For our own safety, let's license our bikes, get superior locking devices and report suspicious activity around the bikes to the campus police.

The Opening Ceremonies, held in the plush surroundings of the Hilton's .Grand Ballroom, started with a film . The old black and white movie cracked and fluttered as it showed the highlights of Denver's first World SF Convention held in 1941.

"I've been trying to think of where I was during Denvention One," Edward Bryant, 36-year-old emcee, said.

After the laughter died down Bryant introduced guest of honor Catherine L. Moore, a professional author from L.A. who specializes in science fiction.

"I grew up with Tarzan books .and dreamed of being a famous writer some-day," Moore said as she reminisced to her childhood years.

Now that her dreams have come true she can joke about her struggles to succeed.

"It's a tremendous encouragement to get to the typewriter when you have to pay rent the next day."

The audience roared with laughter and Moore continued to speak and answer questions.

Moore admits writing is tedious work even for a professional author. "The pain of sitting down at the typewriter and writing those first few lines is just sheer agony," Moore said. "But after that, it just runs away with you."

After a while the questions faded and Moore stepped down to sign autographs and socialize. As the ceremonies wound . .9 down Steve Terrell,_ a struggling young ~ musician, came on stage to strum his c

Heads." The entertainment from the one man

hand didn't last long and pe0ple began wandering around the Hilton. The bar was a popular place and many SF fans, dressed as outer space characters,

clustered around it. Standing nearby were three young

. men dressed as space patrolmen equip-ped with laser guns, walkie talkies and badges. They claimed to be from the movie "Outland':

One Outland space cadet, Craig Bisgeier, 18, from New York City, ex-plained his first experience in Denver.

"All three of us were walking down the street today and the Denver police stopped us and started harrassing us," Bisgeier said. "They thought our guns were real at first and then they said we were imitating them. The funny thing was, we are really security guards at Kennedy Airport in N. Y."

Bisgeier didn't care about the police incident - he was having too good a time. Besides the three were dressed moderately compared to some others.

For instance, one woman who called herself a gorian slave girl, wore a full-length red skirt but wore no top, except for two brass discs that covered only a moderate portion of her breasts. The discs were connected with gold chains which wrapped around her neck and

wrist. The interlocking chain from her wrist was latched to her boyfriend who r was wearing a black velvet cape.

These strange characters, along with others, were descending to their sleeping capsules when Denvention's film festival started at midnight. There was still four more days to catch some of the movies, though.

Friday's fun-filled day began With more lectures and discussions plus the film festival which was still showing movies.

Convention revelers came down-to-earth Friday to participate in a blood ..,. drive.

Carole Flock, a fan who organized the blood drive explained why so many fans gave blood.

"Someone donated blood (in 1972) to Robert Heinlein (the SF author), who has very rare blood type and that blood ,_ transfusion saved his life," Flock said.

From then on Heinlein has promoted the donating of blood and some fans give 5 or 6 gallons a year.

One blood donor wasn't quite sure if her blood would be accepted, because

Yancy Vandervort, from Boulder, was dressed as the logo that appeared on all of Denvention's promotional material. The creature was supposed to represent a martian cowboy because Denver is in the West. -

She was completely green, had eight legs and wore cowboy attire. ,Her face was hidden behind a skin-tight green

_mask with four eyes and a mouth slight-ly resem9ling a cat's. She also wore a

! cowboy hat with two antennas on top and a double holster with guns.

When Yancy skipped along downtown Denver in the middle of Fri-day's lunch hour, she got some weird reactions. One street observer said "What are you going to do when the real

ones come down here." Yancy looked like she was wandering

around aimlessly, but actually she was going to the Art Show at Currigan Hall.

The M Show was the big event Friday. On display and for sale were ~ hundreds of science fiction orientated

items. Throughout Denvention Two many paintings and assorted goods were sold, some at auctions, but most wares could be bought at any time during the convention.

Thousands of people strolled around -the exhibition hall gazing at all the knick-knacks, posters, books and pain-tings. One half of the Hall was reserved just for the A,rt Show while hundreds of booths and tables were set up in the other hall to sell SF paraphernalia.

One interesting exhibit featured 'a space-aged automobile that was used in the upcoming movie "Blace Runner". The car was blue and silver with a clear plastic bubble over the interior. The on-ly way to enter this strange vehicle was to lift up the bubble and jump- in. Once inside a person couldn't help but notice the numerous buttons and controls which added to the authenticity of the space car.

After Currigan Hall closed at 6 p.m. a special showing of "Star Wars" and "The Empire Strikes Back" at the Para-mount Theatre provided plenty of enter-tainment for the rest of the evening.

Saturday was a party day for most of the fans. Many skipped the discussions and films; saving themselves for the Masquerade Ball that night. ~

When darkness slowly crept over o Denver, demons and wizards set out for 5 the night's gala event at the Denver a: Auditorium Arena. Lifelike robots skirted around beeping, make believe


kings, queens, and princes from other universes came to explore; the entire auditorium was a melting pot of celestial beings.

At the end of the evening, costumes were judged, winners were chosen and special gift certificates were given to those with the most creative outfits.

Sunday was a day of recuperation and more importantly, preparation for the Hugo Awards. The Hugo Awards are to science fiction what the Oscars are to the film industry. The presentation of the ~'"4..i1&.1M 1980 awards, at the Denver Auditorium

Arena, were given in 11 categories. The Hugos were given to: Best Fan

ORANGE EXPRESS!Sadao Watanabe/ Columbia FC 37433 - good but familiar

When talking about jazz, some purists believe two words sum up the post-war progression of the genre: Miles Davis.

Beginning in the 1940s, Davis patched together a playing career marked by three outstanding features: 1) pioneer-ing new twists on old jazz music, break-

ing out of the stifling "cool jazz" in the 1950s and intermixing rock tenets in the 1960s; 2) gathering_ an impressive array of sidemen for his band {including, at times, Herbie Hancock and the legen-dary John Coltrane); and, 3) showing an extreme indifference to the public audience.

Whether or not indifference turned to hatred or Davis began finding little to say musically, is not sure, however, since 1974, this jazz trendsetter went in-to hibernation. No records, no perfor-mances, no Miles Davis to love or hate.

However, within the last few months, Davis began returning from his self-imposed exile. During the course of this summer, Davis appeared at the Newport Jazz Festival, went on a nationwide tour (including a Red Rocks stop last Friday), and released a new album - The Man With The Horn. Can Miles Davis, after seven years'

hiding from the modern music scene, still be a major performer and in-fluence? The Man With The Horn, un-fortunately, does little to precisely answer such a question - but, the album shows Davis is definitely worth haying back in 1981.

Except for the tiresome vocals on the title track, Hom shows nothing new from Davis; the album's music generally reaches into the jazz-fusion Davis pioneered in the 1960s. Still, no other performer quite takes on the mixture of styles as Davis can - and does - on Horn.

As usual, Davis composes - and plays - in a loose, extemporaneous fashion. While the rhythm section produces the constant background, Davis pops in and out of the music with short, bright statements from his trumpet. As with another Davis trademark, the music stops and starts within a single piece without breaking mood or style.

However, most of this style sounds fairly regular to listenE!rs of jazz or ex-tended rock pieces. Although Davis practically invented this type of music, Hom shows Davis' progression during. his performing hiatus to be minimal; in-stead of something bold and new, he revamps some old Davisisms for this year's model.

Old Miles Davis, however, is usually good Miles Davis - and Horn shows Davis still has a unique touch with jazz. "Fat Time" and "Back Seat Betty", two funk-styled slower pieces, indicate that majestic Davis feel; and "Aida" lets loose on a faster pace.

For the exceptional one-half of Horn, however, the other three selections bog down in mediocrity. "Shout" takes an almost Herb Alpert tone in its brassy repitition of an eight-note simplistic theme ... danceable but passable. "The Man With The Hom" becomes embar-rassing with its self-serving tribute to Davis; and "Ursula'', while interesting, steeps itself in the snoremonger laid-back style proinoted by the Gibson alleged jazz concerts held in Denver.

With The Man With The Horn, Miles Davis is definitely back - but whether he returns to jazz's forefront remains to be seen;

One of Da:vis' band members gaining a heavy influence from the master's tutelege is J oho McLaughlin, ex-Mahavishnu Orchestra leader and preci-sion guitarist. Showing some of Davis' -intricate style - while injecting a frenetic pace - McLaughlin introduced another type of jazz-rock'fusion clearly evident in the later works of artists like Jeff Beck.

McLaughlin's fleeting appearance on Friday Night in San Francisco - a live recording of an acoustic guitar trio -nevertheless exhibits that explosive-burst style apparent in earlier works. To hear McLaughlin solo in his style is ex-ceptional; . but, when teamed with Al DeMeola and Paco DeLucia on Friday, the results are fantastic.

The combination of McLaughlin and DeMeola jazz-rock with DeLucia classicism almost goes beyond descrip-tion in its intricacy and craftsmanship. The incredibly-fast guitar improvisa- , tions on five jazz-based selections, coupled with a devotion to theme and structure, give Friday Night in San Francisco an almost magical quality.

Unfortunately, the album contains one basic limitation - the strict sound of the acoustic guitar. Friday, while a .,. tour de force of jazz acoustic guitar, becomes almost a purist's album with its lack of rhythm section or full-band feel.

However, for guitar enthusiasts, Friday Night in San Francisco showcases

"' and exceptional styling, Friday Night in San Francisco is the zenith of jazz acoustic guitar playing.

Perhaps the most aggravating drawback of Wichita is, paradoxically, too much good music. Metheny and

,... Mays together produce some fascinating musical ideas and themes on this semi-experimental album; however, the two simply attempt to pack' too much onto one record.

The title track - covering one record side and over 20-and-on~half minutes

( - attests to this overabundance in richness. The piece starts out with a sim-ple, interesting theme interspersed With faint crowd noises; then, the music shifts to an entirely different set of themes and counter-themes. Before the selection

, ends, even more musical ideas - and odd-lot voices - creep in and destroy any cohesion.

The eagerness to pack more and more in continues throughout the album, with selections shifting gears and ideas before any one theme receive just treat-ment. Elvis Costello, Jn rock-pop, gets ilway with this type of writing by limiting songs under three minutes; with eight minute and up pieces, Metheny

and Mays b~me very confusing. That confusion deters an otherwise

excellent album, as Wichita exhibits original ideas on the jazz-rock fusion concept. Metheny and Mays, unfor-tunately, push too many ideas onto one disk, providing for a rich, talented clut-ter of musical themes.

Th~ r:ness becomes more tragic with the consideration of the album's general tone. Rather than the more rock-tinged forcefulness of 80181 or American Garage, Metheny exhibits a moodiness seeking to be more in touch with jazz -and also staring to exhibit a more per-sonal statement into his music.

~ m~s~~ Watanabe Wails a sim~lar Song continued from page 11 The most enhancing .thing to say

about saxophone play~r Sadao Watanabe's work is > note the music steps up in quality from such jazz schmaltz like Chuck Mangione or Spyro Gyra. The most disappointing note, though, is that Watanabe fails to go much farther than the step up in profes-sionalism.

Orange Express, Watanabe's newest release, shows a big band feel and power surpassing the jass pop he hovers above; and yet, simultaneously, Watanabe's jazz is only supeificial, taking the best from innovators such as Quincy Jones and performing some simple reworking.

The long, almost befuddling title of As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls gives good indication of the album's music. Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays pack in too much in too little space to give the music its proper due - and to give themselves proper time to flesh out the most from excellent bits and pieces. .
