sports coverage of the Collegian.

I noticed that the sports article
In the Sept. 13 issue of the Collegian was written by a staff reporter. Doesn't the Collegian have
a regular sports reporter, whose
only Job Is the reporting of sports?
The most degrading thing about
the Collegian's sports coverage Is
Its coverage of the Bulldog football team. As of thl* data (Sept.
13), I *—'

'Inventor' wheels & deals
By Darren Maskal
Nowadays when an album la
released, It's supposed to b*
, either comro*rcl«l (disco) or a
beautiful piece of art. Unfortunately tor the Bernie Leadon-
Mlchael Georgian** band, their
first LP is a Hop, both commercially and artistically.
The mld-summ*r release which
proceeds a tour with such people
as Linda Rondatadt (Friday night
in Selland Ar*na) Is boring, un-
lroaglnatlv*, poorly produced,
and personally the most disappointing album Vie ever purchased.
But more than disappointing,
the album scares roe. I've always
been a big Leaden fan, from
Ms stints with the' Flying Burrito
Brother* through his surprising
departure from the Eagles. But
after this venture Leadon will
have some bouncing back to do.
Most of the blame for this
mess can be dropped right in
the lap of producer Glyn John*. -
Of the 10 cuts on the album,
six are written by Georglades,
and four by Leadon. Gebrgiades'
songs are weak. HI* lyrics
are dull and his melodies are
too much like Jackson Browne**.
(In my opinion Browne's are the
most uncreatlv* melodies in
country rock music). On this
album Leadon'* 'long* aren't
much better. So it's up to the
producer to us* hi* know-how
and get the most out of it.
When Leadon was with the
Eagles they could make up for'
a bad song with rich three or
rour pari harmony. And this
Is just what Uus album needs.
As the producer. It's Johns' job
to recognize thl*. Instead of
soft, breezy, ear-pleasing tun*'*,
you get hollow duets and sickly
solos on songs  like  "How can
the brunt. Even though Georglades voice blend* nicely wits
Leadon'* , he has no range.
His voice is low, airy and nasal.
When the Leadon-Georgladaa
band hits Sellarid Arena Friday
I cant help but wonder if they'll
be   arriving   a   week   too late.
The circus was in town last
week and this band should have
been thrown to the lions.

One of tny dreams, ani I in-

that would be bensTfidtJ to the

would have thought of all those

"Oh, it was nothing. Look, if
you wait around for five or ten
minutes, I can throw together a
cure for prickly beat."  .
Wouldn't that be antastic? Inventions while you wait. Come In,
ten me what you need, sit down
with a magazine, and In fifteen
minutes I'd whip together another
product for the good of manning
like an electric toothbrush or a
Mickey Mouse Watch.
"This is rnarvelous,'' they
would say, "what do you call it?"
"Oh that?" I'd reply humbly,
"That's just a little ditty I came
up with the other night when I
bad nothing to do. I call it a
wheel."
"A wheel? What does it do?"
"Ob, It takes yon from one
place to another."
Then they'd look at each other
with strange expressions and look
back  at  me. Then they would
