I See Financial Aid pg. 4 Page 2, Retriever, October 25, 1976 Editorial ,p and T .Questioned There exists a major flaw in the promotion and tenure process at UMBC. This is most recently evidenced in the denial of promotion and tenure to Dr. Stephen Boyan and Dr. Margaret Masson, of the Political Science and History departments respectively. Much concern for the ter­ mination of these professors have been raised by sup­ portive students and faculty, rallying to reverse the P and T committee decisions. But the time for rallying and major concern is .long overdue. Now students may face losing some. quality professors. , The p~oble~s are clearly seen in the non-emphasis of student mput m the P and T process, and over-emphasis by the administration on research required by the faculty . In view of blatant disregard of favorable recom­ mendations from students on Dr. Boyan and Dr. Masson, any student representation on the P and T committee seem a mere token to placate possible student grievances about not bejng involved in the process. - Any established university necessitates that professors pursue research and publications as a basic requirement. But the importance placed on research by faculty and administration is overemphasized if that research is at the expense of a thorough learning experience for students. When the faculty must maintain a good record of publication for their own economic reasons, specifically it insures a future job. Ultimately the students become 0.n1y with a strong coalition of student and faculty to reVIew the P and T process, can an equilibrium be reached between research and student needs . To rally in ~upport of an instructor is a fine idea, but the time to do so IS before the P and T committee convenes; not after a negative decision has been made.

Bunny Wailer, also known as 'Jah H", was one of the original Wailers along with Bob Marley and Peter Tosh. His solo album, "Blackheart Man", presents another side of regga~. Bunny Wailer is a committee Rasta-man, a member of an indigenous Jamaican Cliff Richard religion which fuses the Bible, ganja (powerful Jamaican grass) and Haille Selassie of Ethiopia into a way of life.

If you are a serious devotee of reggae, this is an important addition to your collection. And' now a word about "Antilles". "Antilles" is the name of a subsidiary Island label. It was created with the very specific and highly commendable goal of bringing extraordinary music, often by little known musicians, to the listening public.

By George Page UMBC has a rare opportunity to experiencing a major progressive jazz­ rock group immediately before they record their first album. The band is Happy the Man, their music is of the 21st century. The five member group utilizes five different keyboards, from electric piano to Minimoog, plus guitar, bass, woodwinds, and inumerous percussion instruments to create peices that are artfully worked, tastefully presented. Their array of bells, whistles, and chimes are used with technical skill tha t is refreshing to the senses. They believe music coincides with human nature. "Music should flow, take you up and ease you down, bring you in touch with your inner feelings," states their promotional material. The' Cellar Door audience seemed to think the band lived up to their philosophy. Their keyboards weave delicately stated themes with guitar and sax, drums and bass providing driving undertone. Titles such as "Time is a Helix of Precious Laughs" and "New York Dream Suite" indicate the creative effort put into Happy the Man's music. The drive of the Mothers, the flow of Yes, the fascination of the Mahavishnu Orchestra all seem to be caught up in l this . intense group. Their expertise Famed cartoonist AI carcatures the inhabitants of liThe Ritz" (from l.eft to right): Paul B.
