The resignation of Vice-President for Finance andDevelopmentC.DavidCornellcaught most students by sur-prise. Cornell, credited bymanywithkeepingthecollegeon a sound financial basisduring his tenure here, leftDavidsonforCal.Tech.

Cornell explained thatinterference from the presi-dent's office was a primereason for his departure.He painted a not too rosypicture of the college's finan-cial picture for the future,warning that unlesssomethingis done, the collegecould be down byas much as$1,000,000 in1976.

He summed up the state ofthe college's financial hierar-chy by saying: "The art ofmanagement is the art of get-tingthings done throughotherpeople.Spencerisn't willing todo this.

The Eagles-composed ofDonHenley,GlennFrey,Ran-dy Meisner, and BernieLeadon -produced theirsecondof threealbums in1973.,The themeof thealbum is wellexpressed by its title"Desperado."

Songs like "Doolin-Dalton,""Tequila Sunrise,""Desperado," "SaturdayNight" and "Bitter Creek"show us the sad and wistfullife of desperados in the oldWest.

However, this record ismore thanjustanostalgiclookatourheritage; thetales toldare all applicable today.

For example, "Doolin-Dalton," the firstsong onSideOne, tells of the lives of twooutlaws Bill Doolin and BillDalton. The languagedescribes a dry and hopelessland where "towns lay outacross the dusty plains, likegraveyards filled with tom-bstones waiting for thenames."

But lest thesecomments leadyou tounwarrantedconclusionsaboutdiningatone of theplaces inquestion, let usquickly addthat wehave neverbeen to one that wasn't crowded, and usu-ally with good reason. For the availabilityof good seafood atreasonable prices, the fish 'camps compare favorably withanything in their class. Though lacking the quality and at-mosphere of Floridian oyster or New Englandclam bars,bothof these aresuffering from the risingprices(andinsome cas-esscarcity)of shellfish.

Owing to this, the fish camps comprise a luxury which peo-.pie in many parts of the country are treated to only at aFri-jday night fish-fry sponsoredby the local VFW or Shrine of theLittleFlower.

Without further digressions,letus point out that we recentlyateat Laney'sFishCamp inMooresville not justoneSaturdaynight, hut actually two in succession. One comment in par-ticularf don'tworryaboutgoingawayhungry.Foreither $2JSor $2.50, youcan feast on fiveorso piecesof

The Eagles SoarInto Tequila Sunriseandonly threerideback."

"Bitter Creek" is a songmuch like "Doolin-Dalton" inthat it uses slow, quietbackground music behind thelyrics which are theheart ofthe recording. Voice, emotionand toneare veryimportant in'the style of the Eagles; theease withwhich thisgrouptieslyrics and sound together isone of its outstandingfeatures, resulting in a verytightyet flexiblestructure.

Herethestoryis of life'sbit-ternessingeneral.Anoldmanwarns thesinger "don't wadetoodeepinbittercreek."

A paradox springs up here,forare weintoodeepifwelivethe peaceful life of the far-minghusband,or are we foolsforlivinglikedesperados?

This question is never an-swered in the song; for-tunately it is left up to thelistener to introspect uponsuch matters, the individual

songs being interpretationsandguidepostsalongtheway.

The majority of songs onthis recordingareof the easylistening category withvaluable statements to makeabout theworldweact in.It is only when the Eagles

attempt to deviate too muchfrom thisstyle thatsomethingseems awry.Nevertheless,asawhole,"Desperado" isan intensely truthful account of thedespairencounteredbyusall.!

Their lifestyles were of"easy money and faithlesswomen, red-eye whiskey forthepain"until theykilledtwobrothers and had to run, andthe purpose they sought wassacrificed whenthey "left thatpeacefullifebehind."

From thissongcanbetakenthepointthat life isnotalwaysmore worthwhile or mean-ingful on the other side ofthe fence; often one ends uprunningfromhis veryself.

Thefirst sound onehears inthissongis thatofa lonesomeharmonicaandaslow guitar;when the lyrics enter, eachstatement issungina mannersuch that thewhole impressesme as being a musicaltestimonial of two wastedlives.

Drums, bass and electricguitar are verysubdued inthebackground, setting the ap-propriate rhythm. This is avery movingcut, andon SideTwo is a reprise telling of theinevitable fate ofpartnershipssuch as that of Doolin andDalton. "Four men ride out,

The lack of news this week is notunique to Davidson. The NBCEvening News resorted to running afeatureaboutpeople riding abus bet-ween New York and Boston. Thismobilized man-on-the-street in-terview may have been the dulleststory of the year. The transit ridershad few opinions, little interest innews, little faith in thepolitical newsmakers.

Ourpoint is thesameregarding thehousing and laundry. Davidson is asmallcollege thatoftenseems tohan-.dieits troubleslikealargeuniversity--the tempers flareunnecessarily. Oneasks, has some sinister force kid-nappedDavidson's gentility?

Stepshavebeen takentoestablishanew student publications advisoryboard,and wordhas it that itwillbegiven teeth. How does the student ap-proach this?

The best answer is in good faith.Students are capable of deciding forthemselves what should properly beincluded instudent publications, andthe new board willhopefully providea forum for student discussion ofpolicy without the threat of heavy-handedadministrativecensorship.It follows that faulty com

munication created too manyheadline, issues this fall. In suchcases, no news would certainly havebeengood news.

After two touchdowns byBUI Whitley and a field goalbyButchFoley, thegame waswrappedup in a fever of theQuakers.

The Cats scored once morebefore the clock ran out.Reserve quarterback GaryOverstreet rushed in a oneyard scoring plunge for thefinalpointsof thegame.

As has often been the casethis year, quarterback DaveHarner was thrown »>vm

times behind Wildcat linesfora sum of 55 yards in losses,bringing Harper a total of -5yardsinoffense.

When asked about the ten-dency of the offensive line toallow Harper to be sacked sofrequently, Farrell asserted,"Part of the problem is passblocking. Themoreemotionalyou are, the more likely youare to pass block. We werebehind inmanyplays, andtheother team was assured of apassing situation andput on abigrush."

Concerning execution ofplay, Farrell said, "Therewire alot ofproblems. Therewas abreakdown indefensivecoverage.

The season we've all beenwaling for is gradually ap-proachingagain, andit looksas though this year's basket-ball schedule winnotbedisap-pointing. We seem to beplaying everybody this year.

VTbe Wildcat Handbook jokes'about us playing the Boston"Celtics,but we might as wellbe playing them-in fact theycould be one of the easierteamsonourschedule.

The new floor on the gymseem to complement nicelythe new basketball teamCoachBrickiesshouldshowusthisyear.Theword"team" isnot to be used lightly whendiscussing Davidson basket-ball. Last year's squad wasnota team. Itwas abunchofindividuals getting paid toplaybasketball.

This was reflected in thatlast year our team was barelyin shape, and some membersdid things as remarkable asIdrink thenightbeforeagame, jButTerryHolland isgoneandwithhim hopefullygoesall thelosses toRichmond andFur-man. The man who replaceshimisa winner.

Coach Brickels' attitudetowards basketball haschanged our squad into acohesiveunit.Heisamanwhonot only wields authority!(every coach has that),but inaddition commands respect.He'saguy youcannothelpbutlike. People who view prac-tices from the gallery seem tobe so taken by this silver-haired coach, that if he sud-denly turned to thespectatorsand told them to run a mile,they wouldprobablydoit.

Why is it so important thatwe're a team? Obviously, onereason is that it helpseverybody involved.However,in the case of Davidson it isevenmore importantbecausewe are a team that is depen-dentontheunityconceptmoreso thanothersquads.

The schedule this year willinclude 16 regular season)gamesand theNorth CarolinaState Girls' Basketball "B"Tournament Davidson wouldhave been in the, "A" tour-1nament but it was too ex-jpensive and came during;vacation. Threeof the gameswil) beplayedprior to thevar-sity games. Several new add-itions to theschedulepromise]tomake itmuch tougher thanlastyear's,Duncanindicated. ,

Duncan andSlagle plan to

NCAA bid to the tournament.A victory over theGamecocksin South Carolina would cer-tainly put the pressure onthem when we meet them inCharlotte to see who repre-sents thisregion inthe NCAA.

As far as St John's is con-cerned, Ibelieve a victoryover them would really in-dicate what a good team wehave.St.Johnshould finishinthe top ten this year. If webeat St. John's (whom wemeet after State, UCLA andNotre Dame), it wi]l meanthat we would have reachedapoint where it would befeasible for us todo wellintheNCAA tournament.

A quick glance at the teamitself shows that we arestrong.
