They are men of good will.” “They will have a calming effrct on the whole process. They will move it out of the gamesmanship that is going on now.” Beck said the strike is,“a ma jor psychological confrontation between two divergent value sys tem packages that are so mutual- Big Band era oner f win S s a § ain |! : United Press International HOUSTON — Step into a x X me warp and turn back the feck 40 years. , . i e I ll's the beat of the big bands ipt.

Thus, the neey for the middle ground the coaches tread.” The first step, be said, is forming a separate Commission staffed by both uniyn and man agement representatives, to draft a player “Bilfof Rights and responsibilities.” Then, enter tie coaches. Beck said he doesn’t propose using the coaches to sabotage the collective bargaining pro cess. “Their ro^ would not be to actually barj&in, but to serve as a friendly influence to both groups,” he said. But Beck knows friendly in fluence a«ne will not end the strike. He proposes a series of deadlines be established. Beck recommends the game schedule be resumed Nov. 7, re gardless of whether an agree ment has been reached. Then, he proposes another deadline be set, beyond which both sides would pay expensive penalties if they fail to reach an agreement. However, Beck believes there is much more than the season riding on the strike and its even tual resolution. “The way it’s settled will de termine the game of the future. It will dictate relations in the fu ture.” “It takes catastrophe for change, and the game will be changed by this.” How, he said, remains to be seen. A small space in the right place makes. . .

Brock said the music also is gaining popularity in Los Angeles and Chicago. David John, an authority on Big Band tunes who discusses the swing era and its music on, a weekly Houston radic program, said the emerging popularity can he traced to people return ing to simple things again. “Big band is not depressing music, but upbeat,” John said. “It’s easy to listeiito, but not con sidered ‘easy listening’ or eleva tor music. I think the cheek-to- cheek dancing is coming hack. Who wants to be 10 feet away from your partner on the dance floor?” Ronnie Renfro, a 26-year-old disc jocke)!' and Big Band show promoter, claims the return of swing-era .music to the radio is not a result of the older crowds' nostalgia. “People are looking for an alternative in their music and I think they are finding a delight ful difference in swing,” he said. Two years ago, Renfro helped promote the first Hous ton Big Band dance which attracted 10,800 people. Last year, 11,200 attended. A cours^ on the swing era is offered at Rice University and Renfro said his students range in age frqm 10 to 82. t ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ t ♦ ♦ } t 11 Packs SCHLITZ ♦ $721 ♦ JL 6 PACK 4 SHINER BOCK * m t LONGNECKS SA19 38 Li AIWA Auio-Rmne Personal Cassette with Headphones Aiwa quality in an auto-reverse personal cassette that's barely larger than the tapes it plays.
