Blues
By B'J Sievert
College Press Service
(CPS) Blues music has
made it to the tap
even to
the top of the push lists of
American record companies.
During the period o f
psychedelic and acid rock,
blues began to find a new
audience and a new
popularity. Today, pro
gressive rock and updated
old-time blues have become
almost synonymous.
And while commercial
a.m. radio stations have yet
to catch up with the
psychedelic innovations In
pop and are still pushing the
likes of "Sugar, Sugar" and
Tommy Roe to the tops of the
singles charts, the people are
listening to and buying blues
albums.
Blues has become popular
again through concerts
live performances rather
than through record pushing
or radio air play. But the
record conwanies catch on
quickly (more quickly than
radio) to a trend, and it
seems that three out of every
four new album releases this
fall are the new blues, the old
blues, the good blues, the bad
blues.

heads
to solo with her own back
up band, has succeeded
masterfully. Her new album,
I got Dem Or Kozmic
Blues Again Mama (Colum-
bia) reflects the narcutic-like
excitement of her concerts.
And her nine-man band,
led by baritone sazorhonist
Cornelius "Smoky" Flowers
complements Janis' blues
style far better than Big
Brother ever did. Outstan
ding selections include the
title song, a great blues
version of the Chantels' hit of
the early sixties, "Maybe,"
and a similar treatment of
the Bee Gees' "To Love
Somebody." Most of the
numbers on the album were
standards In her pop festival
repertoire last summer.
Another female blues singer
Ella Fitzgerald is trying
to make a comeback as a big
record seller. Ella's new l.p.
of the same name ("Ella" on
Reprise) is packaged like an
Aretha Franklin production,
and the sound is more like
Aretha's than Ella's previous
work. But Ella's type of
blues simply doesn't have the
shattering impact of Janis
Joplin, or Aretha for that
matter. It's a pleasant album
though, if not exciting. All of
the songs are pop and blues
standards Interpreted by
Miss Fitzgerald.
New blues
Among the best of the new
blues albums (also on
Reprise) is Bert Jansch's
"Birthday Blues." Jansch
has written and recorded a
dozen new songs in the folk
blues idiom, songs which
blend together into a
listenable, simple lament of
life and love. The capper to
the album is an instrumental
entitled "Blues," which Is
purely that.
Nick Gravenites, of Mike
Bloomfield's group, has
released a new album of his
own, "My Labors" (on
Columbia). Bloomfield and

Kurtenbach told about an
eight-year-old girl he met in
the North Ward who said she
wanted every Black to be
killed. When Kurtenbach
asked her if she meant even
shooting babies through the
head, the child said, "Yes."
"Newark is like the
plague," he said, "a morass
of problems. I met a Black in
Newark who said to me 'I
could take ten', meaning he
could kill the first ten whites
he saw."
When Kurtenbach worked
with the Head Start program
in Newark, he worked with
"a beautiful, sensitive girl
who became so frustrated
with the problems that were
seemingly unsolvable, she
began to think in terms of
guerrilla warfare."
Kurtenbach said he has
met so many frustrated peo
pie, that he feels the
detperate, futile maneuvers
they are advocating may
come about.
All his negative ex
porlences have not made him
a bitter or defeated person.
He Is. according to one
Centennial student, "real,
open, sincere, exuberant,
finding love in every mo
ment, asserting 'the fantastic
yes" whenever possible
without reservation."
The student described
Kurtenbach as "somehow
realistic, yet idealistic,
hopeful, embracing a faith In
people." Another described
him as "an experience, a
high that cannot be describ
ed; it must be felt."
"Embracing the now on
eternal now" Is perhaps one
of the most Important things
in Kurtenbudi's life. He
believes there should be in
every person s life a poetic
Instant where one person Is
completely 'naked' with
another." This is his "fan-

smooth, Fillmore style
album.
Speaking of the Fillmore,
Columbia has released a
seven-cup l.p. "Live at Bill
Graham's Fillmore West,"
featuring Gravenites
Bloomfield, Flowers, Taj
Mahal, and others.
Slightly more psychedelic
and less innovative is Joe
Beck's "Nature Boy" (Verve
Forecast). But Beck's guitar
work in places is worthy of
note, as Is the cut, "No
More Blues (Rapid Disin
tegration of a Chamber
Orchestra)" which explodes
from sedate chamber music
to rip-snorting guitar blues in
six minutes and 21 seconds.
"The Flock" by the Flock
(Columbia) is also still into
the psychedelic vein, but the
group does some interesting,
creative' things instrumen
tally (including with violins).
The less enjoyably of the
new releases include "Sweet
Thursday" by Sweet Thurs
day (Tetragammaton) and
"Bodine" by Bodine (MGM).
They offer little innovation
and are not particularly ex
citing at doing the standard
thing. Bodine does a couple
of decent slow numbers, but
that's about it.

The most important pro

hope to solve is the mass
migration of Nebraska's
young people to other states
because of better job op
portunities. "We've got to keep our
young talent in the state, "he
said. "A lot are leaving for
Iowa, Missouri and
California for $250-350 a
month more in salary. We've
got the finest people in the
world right here in our own
state."
"Greatest resources"
"We've got the greatest
resources with which to

Schwartzkopf pointed out,
the stale must concentrate on
improvement to lure industry
to Nebraska. More com
munities, he said, must
follow the examples
established by Columbus and
Omaha in getting industry
and utilizing resources.
"The Republican Valley
and the Platte Valley com
munities in the western part
of the state have the op
portunity to do this," he said.
"They've got good irrigation,
facilities, highways and most
are railroad terminals."

population, Sohwartz
kopf said, it must capitalize
on its own resources.
"One place in which we
can improve is the cattle in
dustry." He said. "We ought
to keep the cattle in our own
state. Other states are mak
ing profits on our shipments.
The end product, until you
put the meat on the table,
should be finished in our own
state."
Schwartzkopf feels that
Nebraskans ''have the
technical know-how to ac
complish the finished pro
duct." Schwartzkopf said that he
has not been approached by
the Republican State Com
mittee chairman. "There has
been a lot of speculation,
Schwartzkopf said, "but I'm
more concerned about get
ting a new chancellor than
anything else right now."
Narrowed
Schwartzkopf said that the
chancellor field has been
narrowed to 8 candidates.
He emphasized that the
selection will be made "as
soon as possible. We are
aware that a University can
go only so long on previous
momentum," Schwartzkopf
said. "Therefore, we want to
get what we feel is the best
man possible, but this in
volves some deal of
waiting."
There will be unanimity
among the Board of Regents
and the search committee
when the Nebraska chan
cellor is selected, Schwartz
kopf said. The students and
administration, he added, are
the greatest determinant in
the consideration of the new
chancellor.
Candidates outside the
state of Nebraska are being
considered according to
Schwartzkopf, who was elect
ed to his first term on the
board in 15)68.

Laramie, Wyoming (CPS)
Controversy around 14
black athletes and their
former football coach at the
University of Wyoming con
tinues. Coach Lloyd Eaton kicked
the 14 blacks off the football
team Oct. 14 after they
participated in a protest
demonstration.
The football players had
taken part in a University of
Wyoming Black Student
Alliance demonstration that
protested the alleged racist
policies of Brigham Young
University. That school is
affiliated with the Mormon
Church, which does not allow
blacks a leadership role
maintaining that they are
descendants of Cain.
The protest was on the eve
of a scheduled football game
with Brigham Young. The
team members wore black
arm bands and participated
in a rally. Eaton responded
by suspending all 14 blacks,
citing a rule that bars team
members from participating
in protest demonstrations,
Ronald 1011, one of the
"Black 14" told the Colorado
Daily that Eaton was "either
misinformed or racist' In his
handling of the dismissal of
the athletes. Hill said that
the 14 blacks went to Eaton's
office the morning before the
game to talk about their in
volvement in the protest.
Eaton said that he would talk
only to the blacks out in the
stands, rather than in one of
the rooms usually used for
group meetings, according to
Hill. N
He then came out with two
other coaches and told the
blacks that they were off the
team. "He didn't even let us
have a chance to speak," Hill
said. "Whenever one of us
tried to speak, he cut us off
with 'shutup' He said that
we could all go back on
colored relief."
Hill also said that Eaton
maintained that "outside
agitators" had spurred the
protest. Hill told of an hid-

dent several years ago, when
Eaton refused to let a black
player marry his white
fiancee. He also cited cases
of black athletes playing with
injuries when whites were
excused from playing. All
fourteen black players stand
to lose their scholarships
next year if they are noi
readmitted to the team.
" Eaton suspended the 14 on
the basis of a rule that was
made last spring pronibitmfe
players from taking part m
protests. Since tne inciden
with the blacks, the ruie has
been modified so that it on.y
applies "to players white
they are directly participating
in team activities." Eaton
intends to enforce the
suspension for the remainder
of this season, however,
because the rule was cot
modified at the time of the
blacks' protest. He added
that the players may be re
instated next fall.
Eaton told a news con
ference: "Some white
players said they would like
to march in the (Vietnam)
Moratorium day celebration,
but in the end they did not
see fit to break the rule." If
they had marched, be said,
they would have been kicked
off the team.
Spokesmen for the
University of Wyoming Black
Students Alliance (BSA)
have announced that they
will begin legal proceedings
against Eaton and the
University.
BSA Chancellor Willie S.
Black said he was conferring
with civil rights lawyers and
an NAACP attorney to
determine how to start legal
action. Reports are that the
"Black 14" intend to sue for
$1 million damages.
Meanwhile other forms of
pressure have been brought
to bear on Eaton. At the Oct.
23 football game against San
Jose State, the entire San
Jose team wore arm bands in
support of the suspended
blacks. Some of the players
wore black armbands,
although most wore multi
colored bands.
Not all support has gone to
the "Black 14." At the game
with San Jose, about half of
the 13,000 fans in attendance
wore arm bands or other
items with the inscription,
"Eaton" in support of the
coach. Sports writers In the
area have generally backed
Eaton.
The University President,
William B. Carlson, appears
to be trying to appease all
sides in the dispute.
Sports writers in the area
generally have sided with the
coach, arguing in essence
that the players broke their
' 'contractual obligations
since they are all on
scholarship. One columnist in
the Denver Post referred to
supporters of the "Black 14"
as "knee jerk liberals.'
