. 1974 FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 19J4 MARS COWEGE. HIItLXOf PAGE SEVEN > IL lej;^ able pow- the who bles the por- you n* t- s 5 I. Warid Wc&tt "band on the RUN"" Paul McCartney and Wings "Band on the Run" is probably the best ex-Beatle solo album to be released this year. Almost every song has something 'worthwhile to offer, ®ven the ones that ^on't make it like "Mamalumia" or "1985" title song has a hit and tt does have a really ^vli sound with good harmonies. it rocks ^ight along pretty 'well unless you stop think about what tt means. Why is the hand on the run? "Jef Comes across good ''^th its jamming guitars and the whole it. Then there's helen Wheels" with ^itars and "Mrs. Vanderbilt," built up ^found the little tiff "Ho-hey-ho" whch silly but good, one of the better ®°ngs if nQt the best ong would have to be het Me Roll You": "I ^an't tell you how I ^^1» My heart is a wheel / Let me °ii it to you." ^aul is saying a in this song, as aK 'whole album, ^°ut his change of ^htitude toward his and it proves j he a worthwhile '^"fference. ^OONDOG matinee"— The Band ^ in this album, the On^'^ ^ind of picks up old rock and So ^ "milestones. The tan^^ selections from Chuck i-an^^.'.® "Promised »" to Sam Cooke's • What makes ®nt^ ^ihum so differ- interesting and iy good is the ^ this is mioes stuf that Way ^ ^ 9et in 'the it the music as St g. does by oth- typ foDipts at this Sopg hhing. you cant ® the familiarity, warmth, memories, or whatever of these •* songs but at the same time, you don't feel like you're listening to "forgeries" of the songs. The Band pulls a really neat trick: through this in that you are reminded of the original artists while leaving you with their own splen did interpretations of the songs. Some of the tunes included are; "The Great Pre tender", "Holy Cow", "Ain't Got No Home", "I'm Ready" and some others really too old for me but the Band pulls them off nicely. With this album, it's sort of like the songs are the same- but different, and with the Band, it's a good type difference. "BRIDGE OF SIGHS" Robin Trower While most people's immediate.reaction to this album is going to be "well, he sure does a brillant Hendrix imitation, doesn't he?", such generalizations and categorizations real ly miss the point of what's going on here. While I'm sure Trower has been influenced by Hendrix, he cer tainly is not imitat ing him and he gets to where he's going in his own fashion. Although the other members of the group are by no means feat ured ir\s^umental- ists, their contrib utions are integral foundations for his form exercises on frettes. The deg ree of instrumental interaction on "The Fool and Me" and "Too Rolling Stoned" could easily bring to mind thoughts of The Hendrix Experience or Cream with Clapton. Few in strumentalists cover so much ground, APfVUJVCHIAN CONF. the center include: the preservation of Southern Appalachian culture; the study and renewal of South ern Appalacian soci ety; and the initia tion of community projects designed to nurture regional de velopment, being careful to respect the quality of life and environment that belongs to the South ern Appalachian tra dition. The center's pro gram will be carried out through the use of task groups. There are three .task groups organized to implement the pro gram's goals. They are: preservation studies and festi vals ; and community development. These groups will be re sponsible for program development and im plementation. Pri mary attention will be given to planning and attempting to find a regional group that would assume re- sponslblillty for im- plemention the pro gram. The work of the task groups is formi dable. The preserva tion task group will research and collect the social and cultu ral past of Southern Appalachia, making it available to the people of the region in a manner that re flects the fact that it was made by and rightfully belongs to mountain folk. This presevations of so cial and cultural history is desirable, not only as an end inself, but as an es- sencial resource to the people in their continuing struggle to chart the future. The future needs to be built on a self- conscious awareness^ of the past. The studies and festivals task group will provide release time for faculty mem bers to work with local teachers in de vising and writing classroom materials that can be used throughout Southern Appalachia's schools. The task group will also seek to increase the nxomber of craft and music festivals' in the ares. These festivals, . which are centered around the Bascom Lamar Lunsford Festival, will be viewed as an effort to get the younger’ people involved in learning the skills. The community de velopment task group will seek to design and implement specif ic community based projects designed to improve the quality of life in Appalachi an counties. "To be blunt," commented Anderson, "profes sionals , especially college and univer sity professors, are not to be viewed as community experts with ready answers to regional problems. The dismal history of most efforts at com munity renewal di rected /!• by 'outside professionals' should make that model of community action ob solete." Rather, the role envisioned for the college's personnel is that of a re source, advisor, and facilitator to sup port and supplement the work of present ly constituted boards^ committees, and groups. This area of the center's work has already been funded by a $25,000 grant under the Title I Higher Education Act of 1965 (Community Service ^ and Contin uing Education). An immediate effort of this task group is to provide a mechanism for bridging the com munication gap be tween local boards and committees and those agencies man dated to ^assist local communities. As Anderson noted, "There is an urgent need to develop ex pertise in the area of negotiatidn with regional, state, and national bureaucra cy," Funding for the center will come from several sources, with the college assuming its proportional fi nancial responsibili ty. Several projects expect to be funded through a nxjmber of agencies in the near future, Anderson not ed, -The region aroimd Mars Hill College has long served as a learning laboratory for the school, and the college has been actively involved in projects throughout the region. The Southern Appalachian Center will give di rection and co-ordi nation to the many and varied efforts of the college. COTTON By Dick Newsome It was a predomi nately C.S.M. crowd but they were truly "blessed" Wednesday night, September 4-th, when Gene Cotton gave two hours of music to a full 'house in Belk Auditorium. Actually, Gene Cotton 9ave two hours of himself. He is one of those few artists who tran scends his music and comes across as one warm hximan being jam- packed with love. It's men like Gene Cotton that give the South a good name.
