December 22, 1981 — LION'S EYE — The Tune Box by Deaf Ears In the unlikely event that any of us are forced by unusual cir- cumstances to hit the books these are some of the best mellow music records by solo artists to study and sing along to. Sweet Baby James — James Taylor. With beautiful acoustic guitar work, Taylor recounts many personal experiences in- cluding “Fire and Rain,” a bit- ter sweet love song that he wrote down after learning of his girlfriends suicide. Also in- cluded are “Country Road” and ““Oh-Susanah’” a remake of Stephen Foster's classic. Tapestry — Carole King. One of the most popular albums of all time features a lady who would sit in a room day by day and turn out hits for other musicians. With crisp vocals and piano she decided to finally record some of her own music and this is the best of her ef- forts. On the award winning “You've Got a Friend’ King sings, ‘If the sky above you grows dark and full of clouds ... close you're eyes and think of me and soon I will be there.” All one has to do, thanks to this piece of plastic, is listen and ~ sing along to this tune to alleviate the blues. The album also includes a beautiful love ~ song with James Taylor called “Will You Still Love Me Tomor- row.” Both Taylor and King deal extensively with the sub- ject of friendship while King be- moans ‘‘They’ll hurt you, and desert you and take your soul if you let them’ and Taylor says “I seen lonely times when I could not find a friend.” Although they have achieved tremendous popularity, star- dom is no guarantee of friend- ship for these two artists. Tea for the Tillerman — Cat Stevens. Stevens extends his artistry to the album cover which he illustrated himself. With the first track, “Where do the Children Play’ Stevens questions if the changing from day to day with the new technology of jumbo jets and skyscrappers really leaves any place for children to be kids. His lyrics not only emphasize the changes in society but they also highlight many of the dif- ficult transitions in the life of a young struggling adult. “Father and Son’ discusses splitting of a wise old man and his dreaming son as equals when father says to his son, “You're still young that’s your fault, there's so much you have to go through ... look at me I am old, but I'm happy.” He condenscendingly imparts that we should slow down, think, relax and the changes will come gradually with knowledge. The 60 second title track speaks of children that play and play — for that happy day. Sound familiar? Verities & Balderdash — Harry Chapin. In over 250 con- certs per year in which Chapin kept alive the spirit of the rov- jng story teller, he ‘also kept alive many people by donating Library Learning Center by Peter Cook Have you ever passed out in fear when you heard your pro- fessor announce that a term paper would be due the follow- ing week? Have you ever become perplexed over some horrifying math problems? Well, bite your fingernails no longer because there is a solu- tion to your anxiety. The solu- tion is the Library Learning Center located on the first floor of the LLC building. According to Janet Alwang, English instructor and director of the writing center, the center is open to any student who has a problem in writing or mathematics. Students may drop in at any time during hours, which are posted, to seek help for any problem they may have regardless of the major. The Learning Center has a relaxed atmosphere that is quiet and informal. The Center is staffed by the professors of the English and Math Depart- ment and student tutors. Dur- ing the Fall term over 100 students visited the Center. Both the directors and the staff would be glad to welcome more students to take advantage of this uniqug-opportunity. half of the proceeds towards alleviating world hunger. His wife's reply to all of this travel was a poem which turned in “Cat’s in the Cradle.” A sad song of a father who has little time for his son recognizing his “mistake” only when the son grows old and has little time for Dad. “30,000 Pounds of Ban- nanas’’ is a humorous account of a young trucker who “smeared along for 400 yards along the hill that leads into Scranton, Pennsylvania’ a good deal of mashed bannanas, leaving in his wake 19 cars, 13 telephone poles, 2 houses, 8 trees and 7 people. At a Chapin concert it seemed that one was sitting in a living room because of his down to earth at- mosphere about ‘rock musi cians” and an unbelievable amount of crowd contact. Rubik’s Cube Results by Maryanna Savage Rubik’s Cube mania recently hit the Delaware County Cam- pus with a contest sponsored by the Student Activities Com- mittee. Jim La Roas captured the first place prize -— ““Genesis’’ concert tickets. Jim completed all six sides of the cube in one minute and twenty four seconds.

Child abuse in most minds is synonymous with battered chil- dren. But the awful fact is that thousands of parents are abusing their children by leaving them alone. It’s called neglect, and it can mean a lack of love as well as a lack of food, clothing and shelter. And just as in the other forms of child abuse — physical, sexual and emotional —it can and often does result in death. Each year one million children feel the pain of child abuse need- lessly. Needlessly because it can be prevented if you help. National Committee for Prevention of Child Abuse, Box 2866, Chicago, lll. 60690 Abused children are helpless. Unless you help.
