20—The Daily Collegian Wednesday, April 15, 1981 Near: a musical messenger By B. DRU LONG Daily Collegian Staff Writer Holly Near, a promoter of "women's music" songs that relate directly to women has recently released her fifth 10 '''.... - .. \tot, :;~ ~~ Photo by Janis Burger Holly Near album Fire in the Rain The eleven songs, all written by Near, carry either strong political messages or clear-cut insight into Near's personal values. She takes advantage of opportunities in front of audi ences to express her beliefs through music. "I think artists have a huge amount of power and anybody that says they are not a political artist is really refusing to face the fact that they have power," Near said. Her latest album reflects her views on causes from femi nism to banning nuclear power. "Working Woman" brings instant recall to Dolly Parton's "Nine to Five" hit. Near tells Parton's message in a similar, upbeat fashion. The' lyrics of "Ain't No Where You Can Run" are fairly simple-minded; certainly not as poetic as Dan Fogelberg's "Face the Fire." Yet, Near's song carries the same warning to the dangers of nuclear power. • With these lyrics: "A woman's love is like a golden thread/ It can weave in and out so magically/ I know this is true/ My lover has woven such a life with me/ And I do love her so," Near spells out her lesbian lifestyle in a subtle yet definite way. Listening to Near, you unavoidably feel her commitment to women and their lives. As far as instrumentation goes, the album has a lot of richness and diversity, sounding country in one song, jazzy in another, and even bluesy inothers. The use •of a harp in "Voices" is especially effective. But Near's voice. It's strong, her vocal range is broad, yet the sound of her voice, be it tone, pitch or what have you, just doesn't have the quality that brings me back for more.

ARNOLD AIR SOCIETY PRESENTS A CAREER ALTERNATIVE Leonard's electric pulse "The Silent Pulse," by George Leon ard, Bantam, 208 pages, $2.95. By JOHN PROTEVI Daily Collegian Staff Writer In recent years several books, nota bly The Tao of Physics and The . Dancing Wu-Li Masters, have ap peared on the popular science scene expounding the thesis that the latest quantum physics research, when pushed to extremes, lends support to the teachings of classic Eastern mys tical philosophy. The Silent Pulse deals with this same thesis with a clarity and sophis tication lacking in those books. George Leonard has written seve ral other fine books, most notably Education arid Ecstasy, and The U/ti mate Athlete. He continues his excel lent record with this work of surprising depth and breadth that mixes hard research findings with ESP work, personal anecdote and sometimes restrained, sometimes soaring, speculation. The classic Eastern philosophies teach that a primal unity lies behind the seeming differentation of the ev eryday world. Leonard finds a corre- late to this doptrine in the quantum theory that the "matter" of tradition al Western thought is nothing but a series of vibrating energy fields. Leonard explains many of the mys teries that confront a materialistic Westerner, such as ESP, and various reports of athletic "grooves" and "sweet spots," on the basis of our potential sensitivity to the surround ing electro-magnetic vibrations. Leonard includes various exercises he has used in workshops to increase sensitivity and bring about a better chance of experiencing, "perfect rhythm," i.e., being so in touch with the vibrations of the world, well be low the conscious level, that "every thing just flows." "The ultimate purpose of this work is not to demonstrate spectacular new powers; " writes Leonard. "it is to increase harmony and justice in the world." A turn to traditional Eastern mystical wisdom has been 'an increasingly popular prescription for the spiritual renewal of the West. This book is a wonderfully written plea for just such a turn. ~;('; ~, , • r irs ANOMIE SORRY I )111 GOT HERE, it/A5 84R7F-NPER. 5/R. 111 q r.: a F.
