Health Planner Discusses
Hospital Facilities
Hospital patients must pay for
any empty beds during their stay
says Col. Robert Haas, the Army’s
top health planner.
The Chief of Facilities, Sur
geon General’s Office, discussed
military health planning to a sem
inar sponsored by the Urban and
Regional Planning Department.
“The military has been active
for 15 years in health planning,”
Haas said. “Before a health fa
cility or hospital is constructed,
careful surveys are taken to de
termine the requirements for a
given military installation.
“Health planning is relatively
new in civilian circles. Local gov
ernments, regulation agencies and
hospital boards are becoming
aware of the implications of over
building hospital capacity.”
Haas said the most important
aspect of health planning is that
a given plan must parallel the

He cited health planning edu
cation at TAMU as being on the
verge of a breakthrough. “Those
in the program now have a great
future. Since civilian sectors of
our society are waking up to
health planning they will need
qualified planners to guide their
programs.
“These people in the program
here at A&M should have been
educated and sent out long ago.
By TED BORISKIE
In 1964, four young men from
Liverpool, John Lennon, Paul
McCartney, George Harrison and
Ringo Starr, made the trip across
the Atlantic so they could appear
on the Ed Sullivan show and make
history.
They really didn’t do much. All
they accomplished was to revital
ize a dying American folk music,
rock ’n’ roll, and almost single-
handedly change the face of
American culture, far more than
any group of entertainers had be
fore.
They were four of the most
familiar faces (and hairstyles) in
the world. Asking an average
teenager on the street to identify
the Beatles (that was the name
of the group, if anyone is still
wondering) the a.t. would immed
iately expound johnpaulgeorge-
andringo without so much as a
moment’s thought.
When the Beatles committed
the unpardonable sin of breaking
up, the world looked for a re
placement. Three years later the
world is still looking.
Instead of a replacement, there
are many who would much pre
fer the originals to hold a re
union. Due to lawsuits and fam
ily spats, the reunion looked a
distant possibility, but early this
spring rumors were heard that
John, George and Paul were all
playing on Ringo’s solo album.
The rumors were confirmed and
the result is called “Ringo” and
it contains eight new songs from
the pens of Lennon, Harrison, Mc
Cartney and, of course, Starr.
Beginning the album, “I’m the
Greatest” (the only Lennon-
penned song here) marks the re
turn of the Sgt. Pepper hero Billy
Shears, who is now 32 years old.
This has three-fourths of the old
group with only McCartney miss
ing and the bass being supplied
by Klaus Voorman, veteran of the
Bangla Desh Concert and the ex
pected replacement for Paul when
McCartney first left.
Side one continues with Randy
Newman’s “Hold On,” the hit sin
gle “Photograph” and Harrison’s
countryish “Sunshine Sail for
Me.”
Closing out the side, and per
haps the gem of the album, is a
bang-up version of Johnny Bur
nette’s old hit “You’re Sixteen,
You’re Beautiful and You’re
Mine” featuring Harry Nilsson
trying to sound like the Beatles
in the background vocals. Darned
if ol’ Harry doesn’t pull it off,
even better than the originals
could on the opening cut.
Side two contains three more
by Ringo plus one each by Harri
son and McCartney but never do
more than two Beatles appear on
the same song. Harrison plays
some greater guitar on “You and
Me (Babe)” and Ringo does a
great signing off at the end of
the album, thanking all his
friends and whispering “Good
night.”
This is quite a collection of
names, perhaps the greatest gath
ering of rock all-stars ever on
one album. Besides the fab four
some, also to he heard are Voor-
They should be working right now
as consultants for councils of gov
ernment, large hospital boards
and city planners.”
Haas said use of his office by
civilian authorities is increasing
as a source of information.
The Army operates a test area
for regional health planning in the
Southeastern states. The Air
Force's area is in Texas and Lou
isiana and the Navy tests in the
Norfolk, Va. area.
man, Billy Preston, Marc Bolan,
Jim Keltner, Nicky Hopkins, Jack
Nitzche, four-fifths of the Band
(Levon Helm, Robbie Robertson,
Rick Danko and Garth Hudson),
David Bromberg, Nilsson, Mar
tha Reeves, Merry Clayton and
Steve Cropper (guitarist for
Booker T and the MGs).
While Ringo was star collect
ing and headline making, John
was in New York doing nothing
in particular when Yoko took off
for a couple of weeks and left
him alone for the first time since
they were married. John used
the time to record an album,
“Mind Games,” and has released
it along with Ringo’s, making it
a good month for gasps and
Beatlemania.
John’s effort, understandably,
is much less spectacular and
much more personal. All the songs
are his and all deal in some way
with his psyche. The only fa
miliar names playing for him are
drummer Jim Keltner and steel
player Sneeky Pete Kleinow.
Much of John’s mind games are
too much for the mass public to
grasp but are still appealing in a
strange sort of Lennonian way.
“Mind Games” does not have the
appeal of “Plastic Ono Band” or
“Imagine” but neither is it as em
barrassing as the unfortunate
“Sometime in New York City.”
John leads off with a couple of
fine pieces in the title song and
“Tight A$.” He continues with an
attractive apology to Yoko with
“Aisumasin” but becomes over
bearing with “One Day” and gives
us some nonsense political ram-
blings in “Bring on the Lucie.”
Side two hits with “Out of the
Blue,” a nice little love song to
Yoko, “Intuition” and “Meat
City,” political ramblings that are
fun to hear.
Lennon has always been dar
ing and the last to conform to
anything but his adventures oft
en lead to uneven material. Such
is the case with “Mind Games.”
But even at his worst, John still
has a lot to offer and he re
mains one of the most interest
ing, however imperfect, perform
ers on the scene. He’s going to
be around for quite a while.
Ringo was not supposed to make
it after the Beatles broke up. He
didn’t possess John’s wit, Paul’s
musical knowledge or George’s
magnificent presence. Instead of
falling flat on his face as was pre
dicted after the release of his in
credibly terrible “Sentimental
Journey” and his misunderstood
“B eaucoup of Blues,” Ringo
bounced back with a monster sin
gle (“It Don’t Come Easy”), be
came the darling of the Bangla
Desh concert and now, in his first
one-on-one confrontation with a
former Beatle, actually came out
ahead, looking like a king.
Although “Ringo” is a commun
ity effort it is still Ringo’s irre
pressible charm which pushes this
along. Like he sang so many eons
ago, “I get by with a little help
from my friends.”
Thanks to Donnie and Mike of
Budget Tapes and Records for
supplying the album for this re
view.
