Yes "Teles From Topocrcphlc Occcna"
(At:nt!s)
I can see it now. Long-haired, silver-throated, pale
skinned Jon Anderson, the lead singer for Yes, is
sitting in his hotel room. It's just before the evening's
second show. He is pondering the cosmos. The other
band members are sitting around watching television
or snorting coke or whatever.
Jon yells, "Look here guys. Look what I found this
lengthy footnote on page 83 of Paramhansa
Yoganada's Autobiography of a Yogi.
They all look at him with tolerance in their eyes.
"Yeah, guys. We can use this for our next album. It'll
be perfect for that double album because we can make
it a four part composition. We'll base it on what this
footnote says. The four part Shastric Scriptures
which cover all aspects of religion and social life as well
as fields like medicine and music, art and
architecture."
"Gosh, Jon. That covers about all the bases, don't
it? The other band members reply in four-part
harmony.
Then, a little bald-headed man with a half-chewed,
half-smoked cigar stuffed in the side of his mouth
knocks on the hotel room door and in a distant voice
says, "Ten minutes, boys. Your equipment is already
set up. The cYowd is waiting."
Although I took a few liberties in the re-creation of
the above scene, I must admit that I was forced into it
Over 50 in 17 years
is) -lit v i ' i i u j i a
! - M
by the entire being of this album. Occasionally, one has
to takestock of things and bringtheminto perspective.
With this album. Yes proves whst I have long
considered to be an unhealthy trend. It all started with
the Beatles going to the East and trying to send back
little smoke signals of awareness to the Western world.
Thank goodness, most of that searching for the Truth
in Eastern lands has stopped. At least, people have
stopped singing about it. It seems that those who got
into the Eastern religion scene back then have either
given it up as just another fad or have incorporated
into their lives to such an extent that they don't feel
compelled to spread the word.
Until Yes came along, I should add. These guys are
nothing but Anglos who went East got a shot of
knowledge, came back West, had lots of money at their
disposal and lots of recording equipment and decided
to cut an album guaranteed to give shortcut Answers to
The Question for the multitude. In short, they are
cultural rip-off artists, taking knowledge which is
deeply woven into the fabric of Eastern life and playing
around with it like so much clay. They have done it for
two years now and will continue as long as people are
willing to buy it.
When I frist put this record on, I told myself not to
be cynical. After all, it might mean something to
somebody. But Anderson's inclusion of liner notes
explaining the album and the lyrics and the cover
artwork and the Music created such a swirl of thematic
tomfoolery that I was forced to dismiss it as a huge
hunk cf half-baked cosmic hokum.
Before you dismiss me as a hue hunk of hot air,
please remember I am not putting down the talent that
Yes possesses. I am putting down the entire reasoning,
the entire existence of such a work as Tales From
Topographic Oceans. I'm tired cf having a handful of
Anglos think they; are responsible for the religious and
spiritual well-being of the masses (that's us).
In order to get a handle on things, look at the Who.
They, too, have recently put out a double album
Quadrophenia, which revolves around a central theme
or concept. Peter Towns hen d wrote the entire thing,
just as Anderson and Steve Howe wrote Tales. But. the
comparisons end there.
Townshend never has let his music suffer at the
hands of message, and," more important, he never
loses contact with his audience. Quadrophenia is
dedicated to and about his audience. He acknowledges
the existence of this world, and, through his characters,
he deals with what is here.
For some reason, I don't feel that Yes have a good
enough foothold in this world to be telling us of other
ones. So, in a sense, it is impossible to say anything
about their music. They inhabit that nebulous world,
the one between meaningful and meaningless, trying to
pass themselves off as the former.
It reminds me of a joke I once heard about having
the cosmic wool pulled over your eyes. Get it? Ha Ha.
Don't get this. Besides, they don't once mention
anything about my favorite yogi, Yogi Berra.
Shotts takes students abroad
by Gail Bronson
Feature Writer
Claude Shotts takes people to Europe so they can see themselves.
In the last 17 years, he has taken 500 students and several hundred parents to
Europe through Seminars Abroad, a program he organized to encourage off
campus education.
"After a person sees another culture, he realizes that he is a product of his own
culture," Shotts said.
"Then he starts to question himself and, as a result, becomes a different person.
He changes almost enough to become a member of the human race."
Shotts said his concern for people and education began during his childhood in a
small racist town in Alabama.
"My mother's family was secessionist during the Civil War and my father's family
was Unionist," Shotts recalled.
"My grandmother wouldn't let me in her house because my father was a Nigger
equalizer.'"
Shotts left his hometown to attend the University of Alabama, Yale and Harvard,
but never accepted a degree because he wanted to work with the common man and
didn't think a title was necessary.
After directing a Quaker sponsored relief program in Germany after World War
III, Shotts came to UNC in 1947 as director of the YMCA.
He organized Seminars Abroad , in 1957 out of concern for students who
complained of being rooked by travel agencies when they traveled abroad.
Shotts said travel is an important aspect of education because "we live in a time of
rapid change."
"In order to be educated to live and work in our present world, a student needs
knowledge and experience in cultures outside his own."

He presently coordinates the Seminars Abroad program trom Guilford College
in Greensboro, where he has been a counselor for nine years.
The student program consists of stops in 12 countries, including Russia, over a
six-week summer period.
A similar program for parents and alumni was organized three years ago.
Shotts said more students are traveling abroad than ever before because "young
people are interested in the world they want to see it move toward unity."
Students lose their American isolationism when they travel abroad, he said.
"When students land in Paris, they become six-year-olds. They throw off all the
bad things school has done to them andjust explode with questions and curiosity."
He said when most students go to the opera for the first time after arriving in
Europe, two-thirds of the group walk out before it's over.
"By the time we hit London at the end of the trip, they run to get tickets to the
operas and concerts."
Shotts rummaged through a handful of old group photos, then pointed to a
picture of a dark-haired young man. x
"When we went to Moscow, all he could do was complain about the Russian wav
of life.
"But you know, by the time we got back to the States, he was a changed person
j'his parents hardly knew him." li ? Z.7
Shotts said the main thing to remember when traveling is hot to be a tourist, but
rather become involved with the culture through interacting with people.
He said Europeans readily accept people traveling in their countries as students of
culture but resent American tourists looking for bargains and complaining about
the style of living.
Traveling through an agency is likely to be more expensive than either individual
or group-organized trips, he said.
Shotts said although Seminars Abroad is a non-profit organization, prices have
increased over a third since it began.
"A person hitchhiking his way through Europe will probably get along well, but
drivers aren't as quick to pick up travelers as they used to be."
Has Europe changed very much in the past two decades?
Shotts thinks so.
"When 1 was there just after the war, everyone was so idealistic about world peace.
They still are to a great degree, but they have a sense for social programs and
responsibilities now."
Europeans have become more like Americans in their materialism, but still
possess a quality of artistic culture that Americans don't really have, he said. Shotts
hopes travel will help bringabout his goal of world community. "We must build our
Utopia, not wait for a revolution or the second coming."
He picked up a brochure about the Seminars Abroad program and read a
quotation from Edwin Reischauer printed on the cover:
"There must be a profound reshaping of education if mankind is to survive.
"Education is life with people people from all parts of the world."
