MA 0211 5 697-5653 6 The Comment Thursday, February 4, 1988 Vi~~Ri?n!nt Editorial Magno's resignation f_ is long overdue -

The events of the last two months have brought to the attention of many some disturbing information abo?t the Bridgewater State College board of trustees, and Chairman Vincent Magno in particular. ::::i==:ti1..---=----~-i The board itself has handled the entire Indelicato affair in less than a professional manner. During two straight meetings, on December 7, and December 16, the board conducted all of its business behind closed doors, in open violation of the Massachusetts state open meeting law. They opened the meetings up to the public only long enough to go through the formal voting process on matters which were discussed entirely in private. Never was the public, to whom these people are ~~pp~sedly answe!able, given the chance to hear any quahf1cat10ns of candidates for acting president, nor was it allowed to listen to the reasons for Indelicato's resignation. In fact, those waiting outside the conference room doors on December 7, didn't even find out for certain that Indelicato had resigned until almost midnight- five hours after the national wire services had broadcast that information to the rest of the nation. The board does not have the support of the faculty, several of whom very vocally urged the board to resign at the December 16 meeting. The faculty met only days after the first meeting and, while they did not, as reported, give the board a vote of no·confidence, they did fail in giving them a vote of confidence. Many students have also expressed concern as to the actions of the board. "At least the faucets don't leak." , .. , ...

Had Orwell's hero. Winston Smith, survived 1984 with anything resembling a brain, he would have had a job waiting for him here at the college. It seems that his services are needed by someone· in the administration. . In the book, it was Smith's job at the Ministry of Truth to rewrite history; if something clashed with Party ideology, it was simply taken out of the records. Smith's expertise in the erasure of the past would come in handy in situations that make the college look bad. In fact, someone is doing just that here at BSC, concerning Gerard Indelicato. Indelicato has become a personna non grata; in Smith's world, he would be termed doubleplusungocd. After the powers that be finished with him, he would no longer exist-he would become an unperson. In our world, things aren't much different. In some circles, even to mention his .name seems taboo. Some people at the college are trying to rewrite history by trying to deny that Indelicato ever existed. At the transfer/freshman orientation held in January, the incoming students were shown the "Rah! Rah! Bridgewater" slide show. They went through all the past presidents of the college - and ended with Rodileau. According to "one who knows," there were 38 slides that Indelicato appeared in. Now there are none. , .

-Speed Of Sound By Max Speed Comment staff

Well, another year has come and gone, and I hope that all you music lovers out there are ready for what looks to be one of the best years in music. On the local scene, Mike Gitter, hardcore guru extraordinaire,is not moving to sunny California. So we can expect to see some pretty hot stuff in the hardcore scene in the coming year. Also, watch this space for an announcement concerning a benefit for my hardcore compilation album. As for the shows, DI and Doggy Style at TI's at the end of last semester was great, one of the most powerful hardcore shows I've seen. Also, see Bullet LaVolta if you get the chance. Their show with Tall Paul at Green Street Station was hot. Green Street had quite a few other shows over the break, including one with The Duckbills. Viet Dog, and Maelstrom. Look for Maelstrom and The Duckbills on my upcoming album. Maelstrom blends speed-metal and hardcore perfectly. The Duckbills tend toward the older punk style, reminiscent of Stiff Little Fingers. For only their second show, this one rocked. As usual, Holy Cow did a great show with A Scanner Darkly at Green Street. A Scanner Darkly tends to sound a bit like the old Cult and Siouxsie combined. Not surprising--the lead singer looks like Robert Smith. Holy Cow is, well ... Holy Cow. Chris' vocals are sounding less and less like Peter Murphy, emphasizing his own style. How can't you like a guy who crawls under the stage to sing? The Exploited did a couple of great shows last week, one at the Living Room on Wednesday and one at the Channel on Thursday~ Mallethead opened at The Living Room show. Consisting of ex-members of Gang Green (the good ones) and The Proleteriat, they have their own sound that is going to take a lot of work to finalize because they're not sure if they want to be Hardcore, Progressive Rock, or Crooners. The Eels and Psycho opened at The Channel. I got there too late to see The Eels, but Psycho was incredible. The BIG show this week was Gene Loves J~ebel with Flesh For Lulu at the Living Room on Monday. Flesh only played their new material, leaving out such faves as "Idol," but they made up for it when lead singer Nick climbed the speaker stacks during "Siamese Twist." The Jezebels were fabulous as usual, but why was James afraid of Christie's plastic dinosaur? Anyway, I don't think they left anything out. They might have missed something, but I was too busy to notice. · · . Coming up, we have a couple Gitterfests, but I can't remember them at the moment. There's one with ~enry Rollins at Green Street on February 18th. Also, The Meatmens' last show ever will be performed at The Channel this Sunday. Lots of local shows around, so listen to WBIM for updates and free tickets to these and other shows.
