UDWE closer to being required
By Vine* RtmbuUrt
Staff Writer
A proposal that would require in-coming
CSUF students to successfully complete
English 1 before undertaking upper div-
isio n courses. and pass the Upper Division
Writing Examination, is still awaiting
approval from the Faculty Senate and the
Executive Committee.
The proposal was approved in concept
only in March by the Academic Policy
Keep in pace with
TT__(B I©ai§-2/ (CcdDDceskbdq
and Planning Committee.
"There are a number of different con- c
cents between the students and the writing
instructors," said AP&P Chairwoman
Lynn Fonythe."There are a lot of critical
elements and we hope to address all of
The UDWE package, which is still
being put together, has contents that are
being reviewed by other sub-committees.
Accordina to Forsvthe. the concerns
involve students with writing deficiencies.
She believes that many do not learn the
basics in high school and junior high
school. If the UDWE requirement is
passed, she hopes the long-range effect
will be improved language skills in school
systems.
If approved, the proposal would require
all in-coming students (projected to fall
under the 1986-87 CSUF Catalog), with
over 56 units and under 71 units to take
the UDWE—an exam all students must
pass to graduate. If the students fail the
test, they will be advised to uke a writing
course before retaking the UDWE.
"We are discussing a more detailed
feedback. It will be important for students
to understand why they didnt pass," said
Forsythe. She explained that the know¬
ledge of proper feedback will enable stu¬
dents to seek guidance in areas of weakness
in their language skills.
Forsythe believes the proposed package
will not be forwarded to the Executive
Committee ana the Faculty Senate until
September.
"It is an important decision, and I think
the deliberation of speed is more appro,
priate.^said Forsythe.
"We should impose a requirement which
is reasonable. 1 think it will be important
to help students to meet the requirements,
not as a stumble block, but as a threshold
path. If not, how do we help the studenu
get to the threshold level?"

Hold everything. Stop the presses.
Though the year is not yet half over, a
formidable contender in the Record of
ihe Year category has recently surfaced
on the shelves of record stores around the
world.
Howard Jones is on a roll. After a
st nng of five consecutive top ten singles in
,he United Kingdom, Jones appears
primed and ready to assert himself as a
major chart force here in the states as well.
Record of the
year?
Quite possibly.

ncs to be seriously considering world
■ mination at this point, with the release
his second album. Dream Into Action.
Like his 1984 debut. Human's life
earn Into Action combines intelligent
d frequently witty writing with a crisp,
an. uncluttered sound, thanks largely
the efforts of producer Rupert Hine,
o handled the same chores on Jones's
jut. In addition, the talentsof the TKO
irns, and Afrodiziak, a three member
lale backup group, have been employ-
to round out the sound a bit. Both
ups, by the way, have done extensive
ording and touring work with Elvis
Costello, among others.

-.____. "thu^.m- ™e ^ning track,
Things Can Only Get Better," is the
cp.tome of Jones', dance-con.ciou,
funk^nented new direction, one not seen
on h_ first LP. Opening with a creeping,
mystenous keyboard swirl, the song
quickly works up a strong head of steam
paced by a pulsing electronic beat a
throbbing bassline- and spiced by ihe
fabulous TKO horns. Also the album's
first single, "Things Can Only Get Better-
is qu.ckly rising both the pop and dance
charts, and appears ready to break Jones
into the big time.
The album's next track, "Ufe In One
Day." brings with it a good-natured
reminder not to try and uke things too
quickly, that life is to be enjoyed one day
at a time. In addition, the song opens with
a soft acoustic guitar solo, a first for
Jones, and a nice touch, too.
Following "One Day"is the first of two
true "ballads" contained on the album
"No One Is To Blame," is backed with a
smooth keyboard melody, and the open¬
ing lines are sung with conviction by
Jones: "You can look at the menu/ but
you just cant eat/ you can feel the
cushions/ but you cant have a seat/ you
can dip your foot in the pool/ but you
cant have a swim/ you can feel the

Jones. lyrics are at once desperate, while
still maintaining a strong sense of hope for
a bright future. Unlike his first album, on
which several of the songs were co-written
by William Bryant, all of the new LP.
songs are written entirely by Jones himself.
Side two's opener, "Look Mama,"leads
off the side with a sincere plea from a son
to his mother for tbe freedom to live his
own life, and make his own mistakes.
Powered by a robust beat and a soaring
falsetto vocal by Jones, "Look Mama" is

the oddest tune in Jones . fast-growing
repertoire. The song talks about a rather
strange encounter Jones has while walking
down the street with his old friend Luke.
Apparently the craziness begins when tbe
pair come across a four-foot tall gentleman
and the explosions begin. The track also
contains another humorous touch; a rap-style
vocal which provides the final touch to a
song that must be heard to be appreciated.
Side two is rounded out by "Elegy," the
album's second soulful ballad. "Is There
Really A Diirerence,"_nother chart-bound
toe tapper, "Automation," and "Hunger
for The Flesh," both featuring Jones's
masterful keyboard creations.
Throughout the album, Jones proves
himself to be not only a technological
whiz-kid, along the lines of Thomas Dolby,
but a capable singer and lyricist as well. It
is albums such as this that serve to reaffirm
the hope for a continually brightening
future for pop music,
Record of the year? Quite possibly.
