Good and evil battle it out By Leanne Lally Of The Print <0 c6 In one book, the Bible, the- end of the world comes as fire and ice; in another book, The Stand, the end comes more subtly, in the form of the flu. Stephen King, author of the teenybopper thriller, Carrie, takes a realistic view of the end. His realism is the main ingredient that makes the book a trifle bit scary. King pits good against evil full face in the middle of disaster. He doesn’t use demons or angels trumpeting in the sky, he doesn’t use little girls throuwing up and cussing. Instead, he uses real people and portrays them as they would be if they were faced with the situation. The Stand is a huge book filled from cover to cover with suspense, surprise and sin cerity. it centers on many people who, after a superflu epidemic affectionately called Captain Tripps, struggle to recreate the world, only better than it was. These people, led by a dream, settle in Boulder, Colo, only to discover that there are more people in Las Vegas and those people are planning to destroy what’s left of the world. The leader for the good is an old women named Mother If a list were compiled of Mary Cuddy’s credentials as an artist it would probably read: painter, cartoonist, sculptor, oil painter, graphic student, typesetter, press runner, pen and ink artist, and all around art connoisseur. No wonder she’s Artist of the Week. Cuddy is a third year student and will be graduating in June with a graphic arts certificate and an Associates Degree. “Once I decided that art was my goal,” said Cuddy, “Clackamas was good because it doesn’t make you feel un comfortable about your age.” “Manifesto”1 Iter their inconsistent live k “Viva,” released in , Roxy Music broke up lead guitarist Phil Man- pforming his own band, lead vocalist Bryan Ferry png his career as a solo ar- ind keyboardist and elec- Ho'linist Edwin Jobson »g the popular English hock group, UK. fl Ferry and Manzanera joined the 1979 edition of !Music, but without the ingviolin solos of Jobson, kctronic drive of Roxy’s ® is missing, although sound of Ferry’s bizarre sometimes purposely off key vocals while Manzanera cooly rocks on guitar in ■ the background. After those two songs the album gets progressively worse as Roxy Music makes a pitiful attempt at disco on side two. Paul Thompson’s powerful drumming and Andy MacKay’s wailing saxophone that highlighted Roxy’s first two albums, “Roxy Music” and “For Your Pleasure,” are non existent as a pretensious disco beat destroys Roxy’s onetime unique sound. “I’ve made a lot of friends here,” said the gregarious ar tist. “I’m going to miss them when I graduate.” Cuddy said recently that one goal was to have a one-man show. Her display this week fills the bill. Her art is being displayed in the art gallery in the Smuckers center. She says her paintings are like a part of her, hanging on the wall to be viewed by art ap- preciators. “They’re my per sonality, my emotions, my feelings,” Cuddy said. Her display will continue the rest of this week.

The defeat of the bad is the only predictable thing in the novel. But while the bad side loses, the good side gives up a few sacrifices, too. In many ways this book is like Star Wars in that it takes a common theme, good against evil, and projects it in a different way that is enjoyable and exciting. Another ot King’s books, The Shining, is in the process of becoming a soon-to-be- released motion picture. Maybe if the movie is a hit, the public will soon be seeing The Stand in theaters everywhere.

Artist of the week ay ends ¡Koller Abigail who has visions of her self leading a rag-tag group of nobodies on the road to righteousness. Many of her chosen crew are not and never were righteous, but for Mother Abigail, beggars can’t be choosers. They call him the Walkin’ Dude, but his real name is Randall Flagg and he’s the leader of the bad guys. He’s out to destroy the good and has an eerie way of luring prospects into his web of evil. Telling of the whole story would make no diffenence to the effect King’s book has on readers. The suspense is sharp and the plot is full of surprises. A day of food, music and en tertainment from many coun tries will be sponsored by the College and local high schools when the annual Sidewalk Cafe takes place May 2 at the College. The Sidewalk Cafe is con ducted by the foreign language departments at the College, and Oregon City, Rex Putnam, Milwaukie, Estacada, Tigard and Clackamas high schools.
