Seven students responded to ad- vertisements run in the chevron and postered on campus and volun- teered to sit on the commission. In

_ separate rooms in the Cainpus Centre representatives for the council and the paper interviewed the candidates.

According to the agreement ,which reinstated the chevron June. 26, four people have to be selected by midnight tonight and then they are to choose a fifth person to chair the commission.

The agreement orders the chev- ron staff and the council to choose two persons each. It also gives the two parties a veto over each other’s choices.

The student councillors have chosen Brian Jones, a part-time Psychology graduate student, and Greg Merrick, a Math under- graduate, to sit on the commission. 1 I

Bot’h 8 sides had meetings scheduled for Thursday to con- tinue- the selectipn process.

If both sides can’t agree on four persons by the deadline then a con- tingency plan in the agreement al- lows for a three personcommis- sion, whereby each side would ap- point one person, there would be . no veto power, and the two com- missioners would select a chairper- son.

Above are the results of a chevron survey done on Wednesday during the referendum on . refundable fees. All figures were gathered from students who had already voted, so as not to interfere with the voting procedures, nor influence anyone’s vote.

The poll was conducted since results of the referendum will’ not’be revealed until next November when there will be another referendum of on-campus students then. There was no mailout for this poll as a result of a decision made by the Board of Directors.

Wednesday afternoon the Chief Returning Officer, Hugh Alley, helped scoop the ballots from the ballot boxes into envelopes marked by faculty. A,,Notary Public then took the envelopes for safekeeping. I

The results published here give an indication of how the initial baliotting went -on -the refundable fee referendum. They,show that those who oppose refundable fees had better get on the campaign trail if they wish-to win the referendum, and that those who support refundable fees for the Federation of Students aren’t home free yet.

The. four-point program of the Canadian People’s Defence Com- mittee, with the aim of defending the basic interests of the Canadian people, was made public at a news conference in &he new,,povi&al court house-in Kitchener June 30.

All the Kitchener-Waterloo media was invited to the confer-

,.ence, but only representatives from the chevron and CHYM radio and several plainclothes policemen showed up.

UW. psychology professor Doug Wahlsten read a statement which outlined the aims of the CPDC. Ac- cording to the statement the CPDC:

(i) will resolutely work to defend the broad masses of the people- against attacks by the Canadian state; x*,

(ii) will work for the genuine in- dependence of Canada from all foreign. domination; .

(iii) will oppose the subjugation of Quebec, will work for total na- tional and social emancipation of the people of Quebec and restora- tion of the hereditary rights of the Native people and w’ill vigourously: support all people subjected to dis- crimination because of race or reg- ion of residence:

(Marxist-Leninist), in a raid on the Waterloo branch of the Norman Bethune Institute, a progressive _ research centre. Most ’ of the ar- rested were ‘charged with “aiding and abetting an illegal alien” found there. Wahlsten faces this charge today in provincial court in Kitch- ener. The charges against all but two< of the others have been drop- ped.- -

(iv) will work for the establish- ment of a genuine democracy in ‘j Canada, as opposed to the current “democracy of the rich’: where a tiny minority controls all the means of production of wealth and uses its state to suppress the-people.

l Wahlsten said,-“The CPDC is

In response to questions posed after he read the statement, W.ahl- sten explained that the CPDC Or- ganizing Committee was formed in late February, in response to an RCMP raid/February 23.

The RCMP arrested 46 people, including Hardial Bains, chairman

-of the Communist Party of Canada

presenting its four-point prog- 1 ramme under the general slogal of

“defend. the basic interests of the Canadian people’, to further con- solidate its work.” . l

“The CPDC is not a Marxist- Leninist organization, but the peo- p!e who, join must be against the

‘bourgeoisie. But doesn’t mean that you can’t work with CPDC. Even if you don’tagree with the total plat-

form of the CPDC you can still unite with them and fight on certain issues.”

“CPDC is not just an orgakza- tion to fight court cases. Courts op- press broad the masses of the peo-

, ple, and take away their rights, but the key is to rely on the people. People must stand up; the real power.is the people relying on their own strength.”

“It is not a question of a few - court cases, there are many forms of struggle. Tactics are determined by the way you are attacked by reactionaries. You must work to unite the majority of the Canadian people against the reactionary forces.” I a

Wahlsten again reiterated that any democratic and progressive person could work with CPDC, “there is no precondition on doing something progressive.”

Meeting plannedl on Albanian ‘youth

The four hundred thousand The history of Albania is marked by countless invasions by foreign powers of the Albanian people’s territory, invasions which have been met by the determined resis- tance of the people.

rouths unemployed today are’ a ymptom of Canada in an economic risis. In sharp contrast with this ituation a speaker is scheduled to lppear on campus Thursday to talk tbout youth who live in a country vhere there is no unemployment, 10 inflation, and which is the first mountry in the world to abolish axes.

The country is the People’s socialist Republic of Albania. The iny Balkan state was visited re- :ently be a delegation of the Com- nunist Party of Canada (Marxist- ,eninist) which has launched a ampaign to inform the Canadian

beople about Albania.

Youth in Albania will be the par- icular subject of the program at JW, which will be presented by Jardial Bains, chairman of IPC(M-L). The program, to be reld 7:30 p.m. in the Conrad Grebel Academic Hall, is one of sixteen in L national tour, each program deal- ng with a different aspect of life in Albania.

Bains led the CPC(M-L) delega- ion which visited Albania from viarc h 24 to May 2 and w hit h estab- ished fraternal ties with the Party If Labour of Albania, led by Enver -Ioxha.

In an initial report on the visit, 3ains explained that: “Before lib- :ration Albania was a very back- vard country. There was virtually 10 industry. There was no large- ;cale education and no university n the whole of Albania. There was ittle arable land. Since liberation lver thirty years ago, the Albanian >eople have opened up the Albania Tlains and mountains and coastline ‘or agriculture and industry, etc.

What has motivated them to do ;o‘? Freedom, independence and social liberation. . . .

“The progress made by Socialist 41bania from the time of liberation :o date is altogether unprecedented In the history of mankind. But the tey to all this social progress is the spirit to be free and independent oeo:ple, the spirit that Albanians will remain scientific socialists.”

The country of 2.3 million people surrounded by hostile countries is itaunchly independent. It de- nounces the Soviet Union as an im- perialist power and is opposed to countries under its influence like Czechoslovakia and the other War- SW Pact countries.

The last invasion was by 75,pOO crack Nazi troops in 1943, after 700,000 Italian fascist troops had been defeated militarily by partisan units organized by the Communist Party of Albania (now the Party of Labour of Albania).

At the June 26 council meeting, which reinstated the chevron, councillors voted 9-3-l to conduct a campaign to encourage stu- dents to vote against refundable fees. Tuesday, two Ontario Federa- tion of Students (OFS) executive members arrived on campus to “lend a hand.”

Miriam Edelson, recently-elected chairperson of OFS, said she and Steve Shelhorn, another executive member, and two people from the University of Guelph would be speaking to classes. But, she emphasised, “We don’t want to be seen as outside agitators.”

“We are supporting the principle of student unionism, students need representation,” she said.

She described the reinstatement of the chevron as “a positive thing” and thought that the federation should build up from there.

“When you abstract yourself from this particular situation (the present state of the federation). . . you begin to see the need for it (compulsory fees).”

Edelson told the chevron the executive had learned of the re- ferendum about three weeks ago and decided to visit the campus.

Below is an open letter addressed to Ste- ven Lewis, leader 0-f the NDP in Ontario. The free .chevron received it June 7, 7 977 but due to space constraints we were un- able to run it until now. Dear Mr. Lewis,

We are writing this letter to inform you. of our extreme dissatisfaction with the provincial NDP candidate running in

.Waterloo North - Mary Jane Mewhinney. On Friday, May 27th the studebnt news-

paper at the University of Waterloo (,UW); the free chevron, published a story exp- laining that the NDP in Wtiterloo have de- clined to advertise their candidate (Me- whinney) in the paper-

The tiee chevron is the only medium at UW which accepts commercial advertis- ing. With a summer circulation of 7000, the free chevron is published weekly at UW and is available free to all students, staff and>aculty. The Liberal party in Waterloo obviously recogniies the value of the free chevron as a medium for com-

-municating with the UW community, since they have no qualms about advertising in the paper.

As supporters of the ,NDP more than any other party inthe running for the June elections, we were quite surprised to learn that the NDP does not wish to communi- cate w,ith the large student vote at UW, which is a year-ro,und campus. Statistics show that few students read a daily news- paper regularly, whereas most read their campus publication. Considering the low turnout of students at the polls, and the fact that there are enough students at UW to single-handedly elect a representative if they chose to do so, one would think that the NDP (whose policies are more sym- pathetic to students than those of any other major party) would go allout to win student votes.

So perturbed were #we about this re- markable boycotting of campus publicity, we telephoned Mewhinney on May 27th in search of a logical reason.

Mewhinney stated to us (as she did to the free chevron) that the decision to not advertise in thefree chevroh was “mana- gerial” and she does not involve herself in

that part of the campaign. Surprising as it is to find a candidate who does not take partin the planning and execution of her owri publicity campaign, we didn’t press her on that point but- described to her what might be happening to the NDP’s image at UW as a result.

We told Mewhinney that her assistant campaign manager;-Shane Roberts-is a former president of the Federation. of Stu- dents at UW. Robertswas ousted from office in December, 1976 by the signatures of 220 students on a recall petition, the main reason being his closing of , the stu- dent newspaper (known then as the chevron) and firing the paid staff without a fair hearing.

Roberts alleged that the paper was con- trolled by communists, and the closure was theresult of rumours and unsubstan- tiated “evidence” of this. As a result of his rhetoric and deceit, 2200 students lit- erally threw him out. Now he’s weorking for the NDP, and it seems using his influ- ence in that capacity to work against the free chevron by denyingthe paper adver- tising. 3 -This paper, free chevron, is the result of an ongoing dispute between the chevron staff (both volunteer, and those who used to be paid but are no longer) and the Fed- erati_on of Students. Although Roberts is gone, the trouble he started remains. Of course, we wouldn”t be writing to you, or talking to Mewhinney , if it weren’t for the fact that Roberts appears to be harrassing the free chevron at the expense of the local image of the NDP.

Roberts’ isn’t ,the only unpopular charac- ter on Mewhinney’s campaign staff. Franz

these past circumstances of two of ‘her (apparently) influential campaign workers. She replied: “Well, 1 am now”, a com- pletely noncommittal response which didn’t convey any feeling of interest.

We told Mewhinney that the free chev- ron is supported (both verbally, and with

_ funds) by students and other campusnews- Papers all across Canada. In addition, the Canadian University-Press officiaily en- dorses the free chevron’s fight for a just resolution to-the conflict that Roberts started. We suggested that the.NDP re- consider their attitude toward the’free chevron for these reasons. ’

Mewhinney’s reply to this was “W.ell, thank-you for your opinions: good bye now:” She then hung up without waiting for a response. ’

We ,were flabbergasted ‘at this be- haviour. We were neither aggressive nor offensive, and we were simply explaining our concern for the NDP image in Water- loo (a seat presently held by the Liberals). Mewhinney said virtually nothing through-

We have talked to other students since this conversation-with Mewhinney , and urged them not to vote for her for the above reasons. Many people have argued that one should vote*for the party and not the candidate. If there’s one person like Mewhinney in the party, why shouldn’? there be more?

If Mewhinney is nat elected, we hope that the NDP will see fit to replace her next time, around. It is our belief that if sh-e is ever in a position of power, she will do more harm than good to both the NDP and the province.

The prefunctory manner. of Me’i;lhinney prompted us to tele,phone her again in case there had been a,misunderstanding.

When we phoned.back and explained that we were trying-6 tell her about the damage that her managerial staff might be doing to the NDP image, she replied “Yes, you have done and I think you’ve said enough, so.. .” At this point, we cut in thinking that she was-about to hang up again. We explained that we were not try- ing to persuade her to fire any of her staff (such as Roberts), but to remedy the situa- tion ifi any way possible for the sake of the NDP. By her own admissions, Hhe was unaware of the bad-publicity about her at UW. Unfortunately, she didn’t seem very interested.

We have written this letter to you to convey- our concern about the lack ,of in-- terest Mewhinney shows in her con- stituents’ views, and about her ignorance about the political problems of the NDP in Waterloo. We hope that you will re-assess what your party+- concerns for the people really are, and realize that-along with policies covering. vast numbers of people and involving huge sums of’money there is also a need to talk to< and be responsive to, the individual constituent.

The only way to-take power from the PC’s is to‘distinguish your party from theirs in a very concrete way. At the mo- ment, in Waterloo, we see only marginal differences between’the meaning of PC and NDP.

It will ‘oppose the two superpowers ant the aggressive military alliance of NORAD

- NATO and the Warsaw Pact. It will oppost the traitorous Canadian state for participat

w ing in war preparations or using the youth o Canada as cannon fodder in imperialist wa on behalf of either superpower. Further more, the CPDC will vigorously support tht struggle for’ genuine independence, democ racy, peace and progress on a world scale. - POINT THREE: The CPDC will oppo&

the subjugation of the nation of Quebec ant will work vigorously for the total nationa: and social emancipation of the people 01 Quebec. It will firmly support the struggle 01 the Native people for the restoration of their hereditary rights and will oppose any form oi intrusion in the land and life of the Native people. It will resolutely support all people who are subjected to discrimination because of their race or region of residence.

POINT FOUR: The CPDC will work for the establishment of genuine democracy in Canada. Today, the so-called “democracy” in Canada is the democracy of the rich. It is the democracy of a tiny minority which con- trols all the means of production and dis- tribution and which uses its state to oppress the nation of Quebec, deprive the Native people o,f their hereditary rights, immiserate the youth, discriminate against women and ticiously exploit and suppress the broad mas- ses of the people.

P.S. Copies of this letter have been sent \ to the Toronto and Kitchener-Waterloo newspapers, and the CBC. ,

However, Mewhinney stayed on the line and we told her about the problems that a student chapter of the NDP is having at UW in becoming a recognized student group. Without recognition by the Federa- tion of Students, this group is’ denied the services on campus normally accorded to student-societies and clubs.

CPDC program s

This non-recognition might have some thing to do with the public support that the group gives to.the free chevron. But whatever the reason, the free chevron supports the NDP chapter because non- recognitioii amounts to p,olitic-;d- censor- ship. It is surprising that the NDP in Waterloo iLunaware of this conflict, as Mewhinney claimed. It is even more sup- rising that the NDP refuses to patronize a paper that is trying to help a chapter of the NDP in becoming recognized.

Mewhinney’s reply to this was “they’ can’t be pi-d-carrying members of the NDP, though”. Every one of the few statements t-hat Mewhinney‘ made showed

_ her abysmal ignorance of what is going on within her own party in Waterloo.‘When we told her that OF COURSE the stu- dents in this group are card-carrying members of the NDP, she had nothing to’ say. -.

When we asked her what she would do about this and about the alienation from the NDP that might be occurring at UW, she replied that she would “talk to Shane about it”. She then terminated the call in the same abrupt fashion as before. ’

It was clear at that point that Mewhin- ney didn’t take us very seriously, or even‘ worse, she didn’t care what studetits think of her atiitudes. For ‘herto suggest that Roberts might solve the problems of the NDP that he himself has created is out- rageous.

The following is a statement issuedlune 30 by UW psychology professor Doug Wahlsten on behalf of the Canadian People’s (Citizens and Residents) Defence Committee-and submitted to Feedback.

The Organising Committee to found the Canadian People’s (Citizens and Residents) DefenceCommittee was established on Feb- ruary 27,1977, in response to the state attack on the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist) and its leader Comrade Hardial Bains which-took place on February- 23,1977. The February 23 RCMP raid is only one of the many attacks which have taken place against the genuinely democratic and progressive people and against the broad ’ masses of the Cqn;tdianj people.

Genuine democracy means the democra- tic right of the Quebec nation for self- determination and secession.(if the people of Quebec so desire), the restoration of the hereditary rights of the Native people, and an end to attacks by the state on the youth, women workers and the broad masses of the people. It means an end to all social and political persecution of people because of their ethnic or cultural background. The CPDC will work tirelessly for the establish- ment of a genuine democratic state, a state of the vast majority of the people. That state will expropriate the tiny minority that today owns the means of production and distribu- tion, and it will suppress all national traitors and t.hose who.persist in exploiting the broad masses ‘of the people.

The Canadian People’s (Citizens and Re- sidents) Defence Committee calls upon all genuinely democratic, progressive and- pat- riotic people to unite in action in order to implement the FOUR POINT PROG- RAMME OF THE CPDC.

DEFEND THE BASIC INTERESTS GF THE CANADIAN PEOPLE!

For further imformation, write to: CPDC, ’ P.O. Box 45.1, Waterloo, Ontario.

The establish’ment of the Organising Committee to found theCPDC was received with\&eat enthusiasm from coast to coast, and the.

I am glad to hear that the chevron has finally been reinstated. It seems to me that this was the only ‘sensible move the Federa- tion could make. To some, it must seem like

wc an admission of defeat. I. see it as admitting that they made a mistake in the’way, they handled the affair from’ the start. If there were complaints about the Chevron, they shduld have been stated and backed up, rather than being expressed through force, in locking the chevron staff out of the offices.

For a long time we thought that a vote for the NDP is a vote for the people, a

chance to be listened to an-d a chance for a candidate who, would be responsive to our concerns. This is not to say that we expect a candidate to agree with us, but

_,

POINT ONE: The CPDC will work resol- utely to defend the broad masses of the peo- ple. against any and all attacks by the reaction- ary Canadian state. It will fight all kinds of political and social persecution as well ‘as state-organized racistattacks. This fight will be waged by relying on the strength of the people themselves, creating no illusions that there are other means to make the state stop its political and social persecution and racist attacks.

Mathnews says “we .are now back in the exact same position as before the closing”, T,lis is true - but hopefully the Federation has learned something, and a properinves- tigation will now take place. If there are jus- tified objections to the chevron, let’s air them and change things in a reasonable and democratic way.

i New York (LNS-CUP) - Protesters. are _ occupying the site of the infamous 1970 Kent

State Massacre because of administration plans to cover over the area. with a gym- nasium annex. k

The protest began on May 4, the anniver- sary of the killings of four studentanti-war demonstrators by National Guardsmen, with a sit-in at the administration building.

A tent city on the site, now known as “ Freedom Hill” , was established May 12.

’ On June 4 over 600 people attended a spe- cial protest rally. Peter Davies, author of The Truth about Kent State, told the rally the choice of the particular site seems quite in- tentional.

He pointed out that all previous juries had visited the scene of the. shooting, and that erection of the gym would definitely make it harder for the plaintiffs to illustrate their contentions. I He adds that of 52 sites considered and three selected as appropriate, the location chosen was deemed leastsuitable by the en- gineers and architects in-chai-ge of the pro- ject.

The extended protest appears to, have helped . change community and trustee- at- titudes toward the project. Sixty-seven per-- cent of the area’s residents are now opposed

One person who has not changed his mind is trustee Robert Blakemore, one of the staunchest defenders of the construction project. Blakemore is also legal counsel for Robert White, President of Kent State Uni- versity at the time of the killings, and a de- fendant in the $40 million lawsuit brought by the student survivors of the massacre and

the families of those killed. The May 4th Coalition hopes’ to negotiate

with the Kent State administration and trus- tees for relocation of the proposed gym, to protect the integrity of the site as an histori- cal landmark and as evidence in the lawsuit still pending. However, the trustees passed a resolution, submitted by -Blakemore, that no negotiations would take place until protes- ters leave “Freedom Hill”.

As of June 14, about 50 people were still encamped, and said that they would remain there at least until June 2 1, the date selected for the oral arguments in the civil suit @ill pending, unless the university takes action to remove them.

Moreover; at least one trustee, Record- Courier publisher David Dicks, reversed his position on the issue and voted against the

’ site at a recent trustee meeting. The student community is also firmly against the site,‘ with a survey by the Inter-Hall Council showing 79 percent opposed to the building.

The collapse,of the University of Guelph St-udents’ Union,,Inc, was due not to refundable fees but to no fees being collected. I - -

In 1968 a University of Guelph student challenged compulsory membership in the stu-- dents’ union by claiming that the by-laws allowed for voluntary members’hip.

Students’ union council members overreacted. A general meeting in spring, 1%9 at which - , they led the voting, chose a new, strongly worded compuIsory membership by-law.

When a provincial government solicitor rejected thy by-law as ultra vires (“beyond the , powers” of the corporation), the University of Guelph Board of Governors stopped collect- ing fees for the association. They apparently were not prepared to kppear to be the student union’s agent beyond the student union’s powers. Neither,would the board collect the fees on their own authority (without being directed).

The students’ union collapsed and another “representative” student organization was later produced. I

The Federation of Students, University of Waterloo, has (successfully, so *far) gotten around the administrative “problem” of ensuring compulsory “representation” and fees revenue from a voluntary- membership; they claim to make aH students members automati-- tally upon registration, and then allow resignation from the Federation (without a fee refund).

While one is a “member,” the university acts as the federation’s agent to collect the Student Activity Fee from the undergraduate member. It is ass’umed they are allowed to collect fees from members without the members’ consent. But payment of the fee is treated , as a condition for academic registration; sothe university appars to act in fact as aprincipal as well.

It is not a simple agency, it is partnership that the university has entered into with the federation in this matter. ‘Both are responsible. , .

, tiiday, iuly 8, 1977

It’s been almost two years since , Neil Young ‘has put but a solo -

album. Two years of frustration, rumours. and anticipation.

Young hit the record stands in November of ‘75 with the critically and comtiercially successful Zuma, an album that reached back to his pre-C, S, N, & Y days ,by combining rock, country, and blues influences into his best album in three years.

Zuma, coupled with the ac- claimed Tonight’s the Night, placed Young back in the musical spot- light, a place Ke had vacated since the release of Harvest.

.But then things fell apart. Throat surgery put Young on the sidelines for the winter, and though he did play at a few Steve Stills concerts in the San Fransisco area, he couldn’t ye% sing.

Playing with Stills planted in Young’s mind an idea for .a joint album, which, after a spring tour of Europe, he and Stills started to re- cord. 1

, /During the course of the record- ings, Graham Nash and David Crosby dropped into the studio. Suddenly the-album was no longer

just Stills and Young but the long awaited reunion album of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. -

But as suddenly as the album -changed to the new concept, it was changed back. While Crosby and Nash were in Los Angles finishing a solo album of their own, their vocals werewiped off the tape and replaced. with extra guitar playing.- No real reason for the reversal was given but the action made it seem even more unlikely that the old supergroup would ever put out a full album again.

Erom then till the present Young has stayed mostly on his own. A solo album called Chrome Dreams

had its/release da‘te repeatedly set back. He also had the release of a triple-album best-of collection, Decade, cancelled. When Chrome Dreams was due for ‘delivery in mid-March, Young again pulled it back.

Sam was nostalgic too, but affectionately so.

Yes, there was’no way Woody could ever top Sam, until Annie Hall came along.

Wtiody’s newest film, now playing at the Waterloo>s just about everything one could want in a movie (with the poss”lble,exception of Mr..Bogart). It reaches extremes of both hilarity and despair. It has insanely funny situationstreated in insanely funny ways, as w.ell as the mandatory barrage of one-liners. It is poignant at the same time, and the protagonist’s situation is one familiar to us all, one that must surely evoke painful and pleasant memories in all who see it.

On top of all this Allen i able to make some simple but significant comments on how peo d e survive, yet keep the film entertaining enough forjust about anyone. As if that weren’t enough, the movie is rumoured to be semi-autobiographical.

Allen uses just about every cinematic technique known’to man during the film’s two hours. He employs subtitles, cartoons, split- screen, on-the-street interviews (which prompt hilariously unlikely responses) and very screwy flashbacks which have a tendency to leak into the present. ! - ,

Woody Allen has always employed his neuroses to great effect in his films, and this one’s no exception. .He insists on making Groucho-like asides to the camera, as if to keep us aware that he knows we’ve been watching him all this time.

But best of all, he proceeds to do all the impossible things you’ve ever wanted to do. He talks as an adult to his childhood classmates; inviting very unchildlike responses. He asks outrageous questions to total strangers. He demolishes autos. And, in the film’s gutsplit- tingest scene, he does the most wonderful put-down of a loudmouth in a movie line-up you could ever hope to imagine.

Only one problem remains. How can he ever hope to top Annie Hall? ‘. c --

The new album came out in-late June under the title, American Stars ‘n’ Bars. The cover artwork showedia picture of Young passed out on a barroom floor, next to a’ “bar-hall <queen” holding a iiearly empty bottle of Canadian Club.

Like the title and artwork sug- gest, Neil’s been down to the bar for these two sides, a fact evident_.. from the start of the album.

Perhaps this is a new stage that Young is in, but fortunately the lyrics of The Star Of Bethlehem aren’t suffering from these prob- lems.

that punctuates the song, and as a new wrinkle, Frank Sampedro, rhythym guitarist, playing a string synthesizer that gives the song the depth it needs. ~ ’

The next song Will,‘To Love is interesting in that it has Young doing something he gave up after his first solo album ten .years ago.

The song is classic- Neil Young, every bit as good as Mr Soul, Cow- girl In The Sand, Southern Man, Ohio, and Cortez The Killer. Young does on this song what he did so well on Zuma and Every- body-Knows This Is Nowhere. He plays guitar with abandon, taking a much-abused tool like a wa-wa pedal and using it as it was meant to be, bending the notes to make a thick,! sensual, multi-layered sound.

Saddle up the Palomino, features the same pounding beat typical of / Zuma coupled with the off-tempo style of Harvest. Lyrics bog this song down, with Young’s peculiar phrasing becoming a distraction. ’

Accoustic guitars take over for

The final song, Homegrown, is a short tune that combines rock and

the next two songs, Hey Babe, and Hold Back The Tears. The first is probably the best song on that side of the album, featuring Young with

‘his slow drawling vocals and laid back guitar. Hold Back The Tears goes too close to country for com- fort at times and Carole Mayedo’s violin also seems to be about three octaves out of tuge. -

Rounding out the side is Bite The Bullet, a pounding country-rock song which has the best work that his new band has done.

Young plays every instrumeut , *guitars, bass, drums, and percus-

sion. The lyrics are hokey, but some how they work. Young com- pares his life to a salmonswimming upstream. Even though so many women have let him down, old Neil’s going to keep right on searching till he finds the right one,

The second side opens with Star of Bethlehem, a song from the dou-‘ ble album Homegrowh that Young recorded in ‘74 but never released. A soft ‘accoustic ballad with Em-
