"" Historical theme Mural to brighten library By Leanne Lally Of The Print The history of Clackamas County is the theme for the mural to be stationed in the library some time this Spring. CO Leland John, College art teacher, and approximately 10 art students are constructing the mural. Donations were made by members of the Rose Villa Retirement Center on River Road in Milwaukie. The construction group was taking a class in writing family history at the College. After a few weeks in the class the group put together a book, which was published and sold. After paying the printing costs, they discovered that they had profits left over that they wan ted to donate back to the College. The group got in contact with Bill Anton, College development officer, who in “Bill and I were talking oJ turn gave them the idea for the day on how to promote the mural. library,” Charters said, “when “Margaret Charters, head he came up with an idea forth librarian and I were talking one mural.” day, and she mentioned that Charters said she is “very ed she wished that someone cited ” about the_mural.“M would come up with an idea to brighten up the library,” Anton very pleased with the fact that] local _artjst will be constructs said. the mural,” she said. Charters said the idea for a mural came from an annual all library staff workshop that was held earlier this year. The thought of moving the bulletin boards to another spot was agreed on, but then there was a big space unocuppied. Charters also feels that tlj art work will be a great asset« the library, “it will be of inter! to the citizens of Clackaml County and direct them totM library to view their héritai and the beauty of the land] she said.

Chew nails in play Lonely tunes falter By Mike Koller Of The Print The soundtrack to the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band movie has been released on RSO records. The album features artists like Peter Frampton, the Bee Gees, Billy Preston, Steve Martin and Aerosmith doing Beatles favorites. For the most part the album is a disaster. Fram pton and the Bee Gees try to do straight copies of the Beatles songs that just don’t work. Frampton does a supposed touching version of “Long and Winding Road” that makes one want to laugh instead of cry. Aerosmith does a heavy metal version of the Beatles “Abbey Road” classic “Come Together” that sounds feeble compared to the original, but has become a radio hit for Aerosmith. The three Bee Gees members and Frampton play the Beatles in the movie and thus perform a host of Beatles tunes that they manage to distort beyond hope. “With a Little Help From My Friends” and “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” are only a couple of examples. The only bright spot on the entire album is Steve Martin’s hilarious inter- petation of “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer.” Martin took the song and reworked it to fit his personality, so the per formance sounds fresh and original instead of just someone else doing another Beatles song. Although Martin excels, there are over 20 songs on this double album. Unless you’re a diehard Steve Mar tin fanatic, stick to the original albums by the Fab Four and pretend this meager attempt to cash in on the Beatles continuing popularity never existed. Tickets are on sale for the College’s production of the Ira Levin thriller, “Veronica’s Room,” which will be perfor med at McLoughlin Hall Theater, Nov. 30 through Dec. 3. Described by one reviewer when it played Broadway in 1973, “Veronica’s Room” is “a chew up your fingernails” play in which “reality and fan- tasy are entwined in a totally absorbing spider web of who’s doing what to whom.” The play revolves around the near identical resemblance between Susan Kerner, a 20- year-old college student, and Veronica Brabissant, the long- dead daughter of a wealthy family. Kerner is asked to im personate Veronica for a short time to aid Veronica’s mentally disturbed sister, who lives if the past and believes Veroniq is still alive. Once Susan is dressed it Veronica’s clothes, she fii herself locked in Veronic room and into the role Veronica. Levin is the author “Rosemary’s Baby,” “1 Stepford Wives” and “1 Boys from Brazil.” /MILI4ÆUKIE MCQUETBAL CLUB fl SPECIAL STUDENT RATES *35°° vw • 10 Championship Courts • Weight & Exercise Room • Jacuzzi & Sauna • lessons & Tournaments NO MONTH« MIES NO MEMBERSHIP CONTRACTS 659-3845 ^^ 460^^0ARDMAN^^^I^AUKI^B^ancho^lowers^.
