The Kids Are Alright
A double album of live music that
spans the history of The Who, The Kids
Are Alright is, of course, a treat for all
die-hard Who fans. It is an excellent
collection of old songs that combines
humor, fierceness, and above all, fun
from one of the '60’s and '70’s great rock
and roll groups. Only the Beatles and
the Stones compare in significance.
The music on the album is straight-out
rock and roll. There are plenty of
power chords from Pete Towshend,
wailing from Roger Daltrey, churning
bass from John Entwistle and flailing
drums from Keith Moon. Although some
of the cuts may sound dated to new rock
listeners, one has to realize that the
Who has been around for a long time
and has changed a good bit from its
meager beginnings to its current
superstar status.
■The Kids is the soundtrack for the
Who’s forthcoming movie. It may not
contain all the songs most Who fans
would expect to hear, but it does give a
good representative cross-section of
their music. The opening tune, “My
Generation”, is taken from the Smothers
Brothers’ television show, on which The
Who appeared. At the end of this song,
Keith Moon is actually blown up by
explosives he has secretly placed in his
drum kit. This, and other loony antics
by Moon, added a great deal of energy
and humor to The Who’s performances
and serves as a good tribute to the wild
drummer of The Who.
For those looking for a great deal of
sophistication in their music, this ain’t
the album to get. It contains pure rock
classics by The Who, such as “Baba
O’Riley” and “Can’t Explain” and ex
presses the power and simplicity of the
group. As a whole, the album is a col
lection of the best adrenalin-filled songs
you’re likely to hear, but it’s only rock
and roll.

ATTENTION
If you haven’t already noticed, the
Security Department has repainted
many of the parking lots around campus.
The lines are clearly marked with two
distinct colors. Each color represents a
designated lot for either faculty/staff or
students and open parking. Green lines
are for faculty/staff; white lines are for
students and open parking with a col
lege parking sticker. These lots are
being patrolled by security, and tickets
are being given for parking in improper
zones. Yellow lines indicate no parking.
We can be Proud
The response to the Red Cross Blood
Bank’s visit to Mars Hill College on Octo
ber 8th was greater than in their visits
in recent years. One hundred and
twenty-four pints of blood were donated
by students and staff.
The Red Cross Bloodmobile visits our
campus each semester under the
sponsorship of Delta Kappa Theta Fra
ternity. Response in the past couple of
years has varied from 85 to 100 pints.
This visit, however, found our college
community in a generous mood and
went well above averages for recent
years in numbers of pints donated.
Our generosity could not have come at
a better time. 'The blood bank in Ashe
ville is dangerously low on blood; so
much that it was reported that only
emergency surgery was being allowed
by the local hospitals. Twenty-five pints
of blood donated before 12:30 on Mon
day were taken immediately to Asheville
where it was used for transfusions be
fore the day was over.
Book Review
Shyness
What it is, What to do About it
Philip G. Zimbardo is a professor of
social psychology at Stanford University.
He received his Ph.D. at Yale University
and is well-known for his research on
imprisonment and vandalism.
Shyness; What it is. What to do about
it, is the title of a book that deals with a
universal problem. Zimbardo became
interested in the problem by counseling
some of his shy students and soon had a
dozen students attending a seminar on
shyness. This has now evolved into a
Shyness Clinic at Stanford University
where he helps people overcome their
shyness and learn more about the nature
of the problem.
Zimbardo believes that “shyness is an
insidiuos personal problem that is reach
ing such epidemic proportions as to
be justifiably called a social disease.
Trends in our society suggest it will
get worse in the coming years as social
forces increase our isolation, competi
tion, and loneliness.”
Zimbardo’s research proved that shy
ness is common, widespread, and uni
versal. Eighty percent of all people say
that they were shy at some point of their
lives. Over forty percent said that they
were still shy. In other words 4 out of
every 10 people are shy. That is 84 mil
lion Americans! Only about 7 percent of
all Americans reported never, ever
feeling shy.
Family background plays an import
ant role in creating shyness in children.
Birth order also seems to have an effect.
More first-born children are shy than
later-born. First-born children do not
develop their social skills 'as much as
later-borns. “Later-borns do so as a
matter of social survival, having to inter
act with their siblings who are initially
bigger, smarter, and tougher. They
learn to use social finesse instead of raw
power to achieve their ends.”
The emphasis on achievement and
competition in American society can
make children shy. Zimbardo feels that
“All children need a sense of belonging.
They need to feel that home and school
are safe places, places where they are
recognized for their personal worth,
where their opinions are values, and
where their uniqueness is cherished.
School and home should be places of
refuge from anxiety, not sources from
which self-doubt first springs. They
should be “Power spots where a child
learns intuitively the power of uncondi
tional love and the strength of learning
how to learn.”
Zimbardo came to the conclusion that
we can prevent shyness in society by
changing our cultural values, social
norms, and situational forces. In coun
tries such as the People’s Republic of
China or Israel the emphasis is on com
mon goals. Children are made to feel
special and are loved unconditionally.
If we had similar values and life-styles,
we would have fewer shy children.
