Fri.. Sept. 17. 1971 ROGUE NEWS PACE THREE Visitor Finds Equador Unforgettable The man who wrote "Eight Miles High" for the Byrds and "Triad" for the Jefferson Airplane has become a rock star in his own right. David Crosby (late of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young) last spring released his own album, If I Could Only Remember My Name. Crosby began his rock career with the Byrds, but was kicked out of the group because of "political" comments, including remarks questioning the validity of the Warren Report. David then began a partnership with the Jefferson Airplane. He gave them the song, "Triad," which had earlier been rejected by the Byrds ("Triad," was most recently performed by C, S., N., 7 Y. on their Four-Way Street album). If I Could Only Remember My Name is outstanding for the number of famous rock musicians it brings together. Along with Crosby's former partners, Graham Nash and Neil Young, and his brother, Ethan, the album features Joni Mitchell; Santana's percussion men, Michael Shrieve and Gregg Rolie; novice singer Laura Allen (who recently put out her own album); Jerry Garcia (leader of the Grateful Dead); practically the entire Jeff Airplane (Jack Casady, Paul Kanter, Jorma Kaukonen, and Grace Slick); and several other artists. Such a versatile group of musicians is bound to exert influence on the type of music played on the album. David Crosby's album could be described as a combination of C, S., N. & Y., Santana, Joni Mitchell, the Grateful Dead, and the Jefferson Airplane. Indeed, each of the cuts seems to take something from one of these sources. "Music is Love," the first cut, is typical Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, except that the instru mentals are more varied and polished. "Cowboy Movie" is just what the title says: a Western story. The guitar line reflects the influence of the Jefferson Airplane. The vocals of Tamalpais High (At About 3) are very noticeably C, S., N.& Y. The Jeff Airplane instrumentals are more than obvious on this cut. The haunting song, "Laughing," needs no description it has been played quite a bit on the radio. Despite that fact, it is still an excellent cut. What Are Their Names is undoubtedly one of the shortest of all protest songs. In four lines of lyrics, the song asks the names of "the men who run this land," and tells what the singer would like to do if he could find out where they live. Traction in the Rain is an unusual song featuring an acoustic guitar, Crosby's vocalization, and a harp. Song With No Words (Trees 'With No Leaves) is just that. Orleans is a traditional French song (in French), arranged by David Crosby. The final cut on the album, I'd Swear There Was Somebody Here, has no lyrics, and thus passes almost unnoticed. In fact, the last three songs on the album run so closely together that they almost seem like one cut. The album, though it borrows heavily from various rock musical styles, has put these styles together to produce aform of its own. And this form is perhaps one of the best in rock music today. Bearded Teachers "Hubba Hubba, M-m-m Good," are possible translations of what Cindy Ragland heard as she walked down the street in Cuenca, Ecuador. Miss Ragland was there this summer through the American Field Service Program. According to Cindy, most of the boys there are chronic girl-watchers. They stand on streetcorners in groups of five or six and make flattering remarks at girls passing by. Most families have a car and quite a few of the boys go "cruising" through town or the park. Cindy states, "They're real male chauvinist pigs". There are no formal dates, unlike in the states. Instead, during the day couples attend foreign movies at the theater or go to the park. Things appear to quiet down at night because the cars are put away, and most of the adults are at home watching the six to ten TV broadcasts. Only the most liberal of parents will allow their children to go out at night. An exception is parties. Couples can attend these parties, which usually last from about nine in the evening to two in the morning. Cindy says that these social gatherings are "much funner down there." Cindy would like to urge more students to join the AFS Program because their experiences will be "unforgettable." Cindy Ragland (above) spent the summer in Cuenca, Equador as part of the American Field Service Program. V mi J(T2 Diillil Lawrence commented that he had no special reason for growing his beard but possibly laziness had something to do with it. He noted that he could sense people's various reactions to him. When asked why he shaved it off, he stressed that there was absolutely no school pressure. He just decided it was about time for it to go. "I got very attached to it. I didn't realize how hard it would be to get rid of it." Mr. London went on an extended camping trip across the country to the Atlantic coast. During this time his beard began to grow. He commented that took so long for it to grow that it seemed like a waste to chop it off. London also noted that this kind of thing breaks the stereotyped appearance of teachers. He said "it is no big deal but if I get tired of it or if my wife says 'chop it off," I will." ran A new addition to the campus this year was the bearded appearance of several members of the faculty. Mr. Lawrence and Mr. London were both asked bout their beards. 4 H r. fit, rurt recl on-- We ho.e (otso IEVTS because they're your favorite pontu And we know therc'i nothing ESS funky than a STIFF new pair, tut w otl must be young net, een panti. to?
