vVednesdoy, August 14, 1974 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Nine Mitchell at PK: The Chavez continues fight bianas anc roadies (Gontinued from Page 5) star burning out." Since he rappearance at Hill, however, Mitchell seems to ad- justed very well to this hero worship. Unlike most pop per- formers, she makes no attempt to be anything more than a hu- man being. It must be a strange feat, standing blindly there on a lighted platform in front of 3000 people who seem to love every move you make. Her manner was quite casual, though still very poised, as she talked to the audience at length. She wanted to talk to the audience so much she even tried to stop the band when they were already five bars into "Bar and Grill," but they just ignored her waving arms, or they were already too intent. Undaunted, she walked up to the mike and began to talk any- way. When she was preparing to perform "All I Want," sitting down with her dulcimer, some- body croaked out, as was com- mon throughout the show, "What is it?" From another sector of the crowd came the renly, "It's a dulcimer," and Mitchell looked un and smiled, and made the "You got it! sign with her hand. "Everybody who becomes successful has to adjust to it," she said later. "They all do. People are always thinking 'Suc- cess spoils people,' so the first thing you do when you become successful is you say to your- self, 'I'm not going to let it! I'm not going to allow myself to change in any way. I will not change!' But of course, you have to change. Everything in your environment is changing." It was a long concert - near- lv 3%2 hours. Near the end, be- fore the encore, we left our seats in the pavilion and climb- ed up and back, to the very edge of the theatre, in the cor- ner. The lights went down again, and Mitchell came out to the piano to play "The Last Time I Saw Richard," (" . . - ws Detroit in '68") - a collec- tion of reflections on the death of Richard Farina. Surveying the scene from up there, I too felt like I was out in space - on the very edge of the solar system, or a nebulae. The bowl shape of the seats gave the audience an appear- ance of being in orbit around the stage, from which irradi- ated light and serenely flowing piano notes. Then way down at Patrick's debut LONDON () - Patrick Mc- Carthy, a 23-year-old student at the L o n d o n Opera Center, staged an unexpected debut at the Royal Albert Hall, McCarthy had only intended to listen last Wednesday night, until baritone Thomas Allen collapsed after the start of Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana." The young singer knew the role, so he volunteered and conductor Andre Previn waved him onto the stage. The packed audience gave the young per- former a standing ovation. 7' a ns e",s s: ..; ?s:.

Then the lights came up a little and she and the band fin- ished off the evening with a rendition of "Twisted." She went into a long, cheerful rap in the middle of it about the joys of admitting you are crazy. "We are all crazy!" she said, gesturing about herself and the band. "Are you crazy?" (Audience: "Yes!") "Is there anyone out there- who is not crazy?" (Audience: "No!") She may be right, of course. Still, I was left with two nag- ging questions: How it is that a true artist, who has gradually become re- spected and famous by pouring out her blood and soul into her creations - how does she rec- kon with the entertainment busi- ness? And - What is it like to re- turn to a city like this, where you have kicked around cof- fee shops, unknown, and cre- ate a 1500 car traffic jam? On our way out, I noticed ominous spirits had comman- deered the loudspeaker system. A WXYZ DJ actually had the bogus audacity to do a com- mercial. Then a new voice came on to reassure us that no matter which way we went from the entrance, we would end up on 1-75. Joni Mitchell is definite- ly changing. As I sit here typ- ing and listening to Blue, I rea- lize what an awful lot she has changed since then. Her lyrics are roughly the same, but her voice has become more aggres- sive, her melodies more con- ventional, and her arrange- ments are another thing entire- ly now, and not so much her own. I was not pleased with Court and Spark, for reasons along these lines, but I understand that it took off commercially like nothing she has ever done before, and like nothing anyone expected. From a personal standpoint, I can understand and appreciate her stardom. "Love is touching souls," she sings, "well surely you touch- ed mine! "And surely, she has touched quite a few herself. But popular folk music is losing a very sensitive and tal- ented musician. And I, for one, am going to miss her.

Ile insists the UFW's troubles stem mainly from a grower-Teamster "con- siracy," an allegation denied by both grasps. Growers say Teamster pacts are attractive bernose thev do not reonire establishment of ,'ion-audninistered hiring halls. Tnsstead of using the wsorkers dis- nat"-ed by the 'ninn, a grower an hire whomever he wants as long as he ioins the Teamsters in 10 dass. Chavez says this has resilted in growers bringing il- le"al Mexican immigrants who often work for less than Ameri- can farm hands. Growers deny the allegation. Growers who switched to the Teamsters branded the UFW hiring hall a failire because workers weren't dispatched ef- ficiently when needed. "WE CAN'T be at the mercy of union dispatch hall people, and management has to have the right to get its own work- ers," said John Giumarra of Delano, general counsel for the state's largest table grape grower. Some ex-UFW workers claim- ed the hiring hall dispatchers played favorites. Others were irritated at signup procedures that sometimes split families with only one car among dif- ferent ranches. In an interview Chavez ac- knowledged there were some "administrative problems" with the hiring halls but said they were being overcome as the union passed through the "grow- ing pains" phases of develop- ment. HE CONSIDERS the hiring hall a must. Teamster union "It gives workers the right to determine by their own democratic process the rules snd regulations about how they get hired and the conditions of their work," he explained. ('havez contends the growers, still spiteful at the UFW for unionizing farm workers, are using the hiring hull issue to cover a conspiracy with the Teamsters to destroy the UFW. "IF THERE were no Team- sters, we'd easily have a $3 base pay scale instead of $2.50," Chavez said, "and our union would have 100,000 workers or- ganized in the state. "Don't forget that the Team- sters don't organize workers- they organize growers. They sign sweetheart deals with the growers and tell the workers they now belong to a union." Teamsters President Frank Fitzsimmons says the Team- sters have worked hard for the workers-"for the first time there is a strong union of farm workers of their own choosing," he explained. SEVERAL growers say they prefer working with the "pros" of the Teamsters to the "angry young men" of the UFW. Fitzsimmons e a r li e r this month officially chartered an agricultural workers local - Local 1973-which is being head- quartered in Salinas. The states covered by it are California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Ore- gon, Washington, Montana, Ha- waii, Utah and Alaska. Whether California's 300,000 farm labor force wants the Teamsters, the UFW-or no union-has never been accur- ately determined.

"I don't care what union comes in or if none does," one field hand said. "All I want is to be able to work." At Keene Larson's 1h0-acre Coachella Valley vineyard-one of the first to sign with Chavez in 1970-workers voted 2 to 1 not to affiliate with either union. The UFW accused Larson of rigging the election. Still, although nonunion senti- ments are shared by him and other growers, Larson later ne- gotiated a contract with the Teamsters. Most growers have been told by their brokers that publicity has made it almost im- possible to sell grapes that have not been picked by some union. There are more than 130,000 known lepers in Brazil, the majority of them in the western region of the country's Amazon rain Forest. $2.50 FRI.SAT.
