And one of the reasons it has survived as a distinct style is its all but limitless flexibility. Rock has necessarily adopted the “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ’em” po sition with respect to new pop music forms. Rock is a kind of musical amoeba, ready and willing to absorb any new idea that might challenge its place at the top of the heap. And that is precisely what is hap pening with the latest challenger: disco. Rock ‘n’ rollers must be oppor tunistic to survive, and they have been forced over the past couple of years to modify their attitude to ward the formerly reviled thump- thump disco beat, simply because it has been so overwhelmingly suc cessful. Now, a newly bleached Rod Stewart is making just such a modification on his latest collection, “Blondes Have More Fun.” Although Stewart has always been ^^^0 ^^^0 *^^0 ^^^0 0^^0 t l^^0 ^^^0 ^^^0 ^^^0 ^^^0 ^^^0 ^^^0 ^^^0 ^^^0 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * JUNIORS If you have completed 75 hours as of Jan. 1,1979, and have a minimum GPR of 3.25, you are eligible for membership in the Senior Honor Society.”* CAP & GOWN (soon to be affiliated with National Mortar Board, Inc.)

He — like Bob Seger, Billy Joel and the majority of rock’s best songwriters — is a storyteller. And while he isn’t as prolific as many writers, the songs he does produce will stand with the best of them. “Blondes” is Stewart’s most cohe sive album to date, a collection of love songs of varying hues and styles Review that. as a whob a kind of , can be romantic taken viewed as tragedy. The album opens with the smash hit disco-rocker “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy,” a little story of almost- innocent seduction that leads neatly into “Dirty Weekend,” which is pretty much self-explanatory. “The Best Days of My Life” is a tender ballad about the joys of love without strings attached, and “Is That the Thanks I Get” is an angry, funky rocker about the inevitable breakup. The album continues in more or less the same vein, through a variety of up and down love affairs, high lighted by the hardrocking title track, and a fine, hot cover of the soul classic, “Standin’ in the Shadows of Love.” The climax comes with our hero “Scarred and Scared, in prison for some un specified crime and awaiting the executioner with plenty of regrets. The variety of the songs on this album -— ranging from the softest of ballads to the hardest, loosest sort of rock ‘n’ roll — is purposeful, permit ting Stewart’s band to demonstrate its unusual flexibility. It’s people like Rod Stewart that are keeping rock ‘n’ roll alive. Old man takes bath in snotv every day United Press International SHELLSBURG, Iowa — Octogenarian Warren Pangborn doesn’t believe in a lazy body. So on winter mornings around sunrise, he strips naked and walks outside and rolls around in the snow for about five minutes. He said he does it for “a wakerupper.” “I’m not a lover of cold weather. I’ve had to fight it just like everyone else,” Pangborn said. “But I believe in putting stress on the body. A person should make his body work.” Pangborn said his heart is fine, blood pressure is normal and he’s not bothered by the usual ailments that are common for people in their 80s. “I do 11 ’* shiver, but my feet get kind of cold. If it’s nice soft snow, I like to lay in it. If it’s not, I take the snow and rub it all over me until I am wet,” he said. He said his method is better than just getting in cold water because inside water only gets down to 32 degrees at its coldest.
