The 'Moon' Doesn't Imitate The 'Dreams' By Bernie Russell "(.,luartt>r Moon in a Ten Cent Town, "[Warnt!r Brothers, Emmylou Harris] There are many similarities between Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt. Both are attractive women with all male back up bands. Both have roots in country music but often incorporate pop and folk elements into their country­ flavored albums. Because of these simi­ larities there is a temptation to write off Emmylou Harris as just another cheap imitator trying to cash in on Ronstadt' s success . . Judging from Harris' latest album, "Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town, '' nothing could be further from the truth. "Quarter Moon ... " is a brilliant showcase of the talents of Emmylou Harris, not a bad imitation of ''Simple Dreams.'' Vocally, Emmylou Harris is entirely different from Linda Ronstadt. Harris' voice ranges from small and scratchy (like Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks) to firm and clear (like country queen Dolly Parton). Obviously, Harris' soft touch could never survive such rocking arrangements as "Heat Wave" and "It's So Easy," so producer Brian Ahern has wisely toned down the back-up music on ''Quarter Moon .. . '' to give maximum attention to Harris' gentle, very expressive voice. Side One begins with a quiet ballad, "Easy From Now On," in which Harris sings of a lost love. It is followed by "Two More Bottles of Wine," a tune similar in· theme and melody to ' 'Poor Poor Pitiful Me." .Producer Ahern's subdued back-up and Harris' emotional delivery make ''Two More Bottles of Wine" a unique song, not at all imitative of that Ronstadt hit. Next comes the single "To Daddy," a bland country song with rather corny lyrics. ''My Songbird'' is an up-beat tune with gospel sounding finish in which Harris' clear silvery voice is especially stunning. A fast song, "Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight," ends Side One. It has a beat lively enough to dance to but an arrangement subdued enough for Harris' quiet style. Fast does not have to be loud and Emmylou Harris proves that here. Em my lou Harris A lullaby-like tune, ''Defying Gra­ vity,'' begins Side Two. It is followed by and gentleness.

I Admission $1.00 \ Popcorn 25c Your Future In The Vice Chancellor's Hands

When the candidates for Chancellor came to our caJ11pus last Spring, an obvious lack of students exemplified the rumored apathy of UMBC students. Only SG A members and a couple other students appeared to check out the finalists. But when the chancellor was named . at 5~a..l'eh, a new the Board of Regents meeting, many studen~s turned out to protest the manner in which he was chosen. When the canqidates for Vice Chancellor visit our campus this Yke, nee1l~,. Spring, will a lack of students again exemplify apathy? Or will students turn out to meet the candidates? Students' needs are important. After all, the Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs will be concerned with students' academic futures - everything from new courses to grade changes is his/her jurisdiction. ? .Robert Hess, Associate Vice Chancellor for Administrative Affairs at the University of Illinois, Chicago Circle, will meet with students in the Special Collections room of the Library Thursday from 1:30 to 2:30p.m. Dr. Hess is the first of three finalists to be scrutinized by students and faculty. By_ attending the session ~ and asking questions and listening to his responses, students can compare their views of the ideal Vice-Chancellor to this · man and the other finalists coming next week. The Vice Chancellor Search Committee urges students' impressions in order that the committee's choice will be the best possible for students, faculty and the future of UMBC. The question and answer sessions provide the committee with an opportunity to know what students want in their Vice-Chancellor and also how the ca~didate responds to'UMBC students. Whatever students' concerns, the · future of American or African­ American Studies, the expansion of the.Arts program or the Sciences, they should investigate this person's intentions. Does he see this campus as science-oriented, or is he interested in professional programs, such as Business Adininistration? These and other issues have often been discussed at UMBC. The next Vice-Chancellor will have an important role in the realization of new programs, and the emphasis of curriculum here. If you are concerned about the academic future of the Baltimore l;ounty campus, attend the meeting. ,Policy · The Retriever welcomes commentary fromthe campus community.
