Rec room offers more

Once known as the Game
Room, -the pool and foosball
alcove across from the cafeteria
now boasts more than a new
name. Ideas'from student ac
tivities personnel present an in
teresting future for the newly
dubbed “recreation center.”
After attending a recreation
management seminar, Debbie
Baker saw a need for a definite
training program for attendan
ts, along with need for a new
name for the facility.
Baker has worked at
establishing a manual that all
as
attendants
will
use
guidelines for maintenance,
atmosphere, and being respon
sive to students. A two-hour
training seminar will put that to
use.
Any person attempting to
enter the recreation center
between 3 and 5 p.m. today
may be disappointed. The
training seminar will be in
progress orienting the atten
dants on the ins and outs of
managing a recreation center.
That is only the beginning.
The first gesture made to
acquaint students with the
room’s new image was at new
student orientation, when
recreation center coupons were
circulated. The coupons could
be redeemed for free' playing
time.
According to Baker, coupon
returns were minimal, “but it
was a step towards establishing
a system.”
Other recreation center ac
tion includes tournaments
which will start on Oct. 22 with
“8-ball
billiard
singles.”
Foosball competition will be on
Oct.
29,
table
games
(backgammon and chess) on
Nov. 5, then foosball again on
Nov. 26.
On Nov. 13-16, Jack White,
poolologist, will demonstrate
his talents.
Regulations and prizes have
yet to be worked out, accor
ding to Baker, but information
about that will be available prior
to the first tournament.
“If students have a special
request or suggestion concer
ning prizes, they should contact.
Tricia Spurgeon, the tour
nament manager,” she said.

“Thank God it’s over!”
shouted one of the auditioners
after trying out for the College’s
fall play, “The Real Inspector
Hound.” Try-outs were last
Friday with
18 .people
auditioning for roles in the
satirical farce.
Students used scenes from
the play for their tryouts. There
was a great deal of tension
throughout the theatre, but that
is a tradition in theatre tryouts.
Now that the cast has been
chosen, the pace will become
hectic. “The energy is high
around here,” Director Jack
Shields explains, “like a
beehive.”
The cast who will perform
Nov. 29 and 30, and Dec. 1
and 2, includes; Moon, Randy
Evans; Birdboot, Steven Huft:

Who disc lacks power
By Mike Koller
Of The Print
The Who’s new album on
MCA Records is a double
live soundtract to their
recent documentary movie,
“TheKids Are Alright.”
The album contains live
performances spanning The
Who’s history from 1964 up
to their 1978 tour of Amer
ica. Almost all of The Who’s
classic recordings, like “My
Generation,” “Pinball
Wizard,” and “Won’t Get
Fooled Again,” are included
in the package. But without
the visual impact of the
movie, the album often bor
ders
on
becoming
monotonous.
The opening cut, “My
Generation,” proves this
point. It was recorded in
1967 on the Smothers
Brothers television show
when The Who were iust
starting to break big in
America. The movie cap
tures the anarchy created by
The Who as lead guitarist
Pete
Townshend
and
drummer Keith Moon batter
and smash their instruments
all over the stage before a
bewildered audience. All the
album can give is Tommy
Smothers introducing the
group, then at the end of
“My Generation” distorted
sounds for the listener’s
imagination to decipher.
This
is
the
case
throughout the
entire
album, mainly because in
live performance The Who
are a highly visual band.
The Who’s other live
album, “Live at Leeds,”
contains a rawness that “The
Kids Are Alright”. definitely
lacks. Often the sound
quality on the album is in
ferior as “Won’t Get Fooled
Again” and “My Generation
Blues” are just a notch
above bootleg recordings
sound.
Despite these flaws, the
album does have certain
high points. The version of
the rarely performed live, “fl
Quick One,” is a master]
piece, it is the only piece o]
material ever released iron
the famous “Rolling Stone!
Rock and Roll Circus,” J
special television shot]
hosted by the Rollin]
Stones. Also, “Long Liv]
Rock,” the single released oi
the album, is an excellel
rocker in the best Wh]
tradition.
The album contains an ill
formative booklet with man]
photos and interesting fact]
on the group which shoul]
appeal to the avid Wh®
fan
Overall, “The Kids Ari
Alright” serves as a fairly in]
teresting anthology of Th]
Who’s career. But seethl
movie first, then decide ¡1
you want to spend 10 bucll
on the soundtrack. For ml
money, $10 is too expel
sive for a souvenir of an el
cellent movie.
