veteran’s struggle to go on living
‘•Strange Snow.” the second offering of the

Vietnam War, but has universal meanings that apply to
any era.
Written by Steve Metcalfe, "Strange Snow" is the

David, his combat buddy who has never gotten over the
horrors of the war. A romance develops between the ex
uberant Megs and David's sister, a spinster school
teacher. Together they convince David to leave the war
in the past and get on with living the kind of happy life
they have found for themselves.
“ ‘Strange Snow’ is a reckoning for the years gone
by and a commitment to the years to come." says direc
tor Gray Eubank, a University graduate student. "These
are people who are filled with anger, yet they have no
one to turn it on," he says.

major from McMinnville. Martha is played by Ellen
jaffe. a student in interdisciplinary studies. Phil
Shapiro plays David and is also in inturdisciplinary

McDonald discusses Doobie
NEW YOftfc JAP) — Michael
McDonald doesn't think of himself as
working in the fast lane
“I look at myself as a turtle compared
to a lot of hares around me." said the
former lead vocalist, keyboardist and
songwriter of the now defunct Doobie
Brothers.
“If I’ve learned anything, it's to go
ahead and take the pace that's best for
me. I don’t try to match other artists tick
for lick.”
McDonald and Kenny hoggins wrote
the 1979 Grammy song of the year,
“What a Fool Believes" and Loggins' hit
“This Is It." With Carly Simon, he co
wrote her hit. “You Belong to Me." His
first solo album, "If That's What It
Takes," came out in 1982, and his se
cond. "No Lookin’ Back," was out in
1985. He’s now working on a third.
Still, his solo career is almost
reluctant. '
“With the Doobies. 1 knew I held one
niche and I was very comfortable," he
said. "If the band were still going, that’s
exactly where I’d be now.
For the Doobie Brothers, which folded
.In 1982, McDonald wrote a legion of
hits, including “Takin' it to the Streets."
"Minute by Minute” and “Real Love.”
Why did the Doobie Brothers disband?
Said McDonald: "Nothing spectacular
