Mural to brighten library
By Leanne Lally

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

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

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.”
