Professor: Music of 50s
being repeated today
By MICHAEL CRAWFORD
Senior Staff Writer
You’ve sung it, hummed it and
maybe tapped your foot to it. But do
you know where it comes from? His
tory associate Professor Terry An
derson says popular music often re
flects the mood of the country.
To a crowded room, Anderson
played portions of 75 different
songs that traced the roots of today’s
music from the 1950s. Music from
that period, Anderson said, symbol
ized America after the victory in
World War II, a sound now being
. repeated in today’s music.
The 50s was a romantic time, full
of songs with titles like “Love is a
Many Splendored Thing.” It was a
time, Anderson said, when about 90
percent of the popular songs dealt
with romance. And American values
centered around children, marriage
and jobs; “in that order” Anderson
joked.
The tranquil 50s gave way to the
social upheaval of the 1960s.
The music took on a new social
awareness that criticized the silence
and complacency that some artists
nplacency
racterized <
felt characterized earlier music, An
derson said. Songs like “The Sounds
of Silence” and “Blowin’ in the
Wind” asked questions about racism,
war and sexual freedom.
Songs from the Vietnam War told
the story of alienation and revolt An-
derson said, and sparked a
movement against organized reli-
f ion with music from “Jesus Christ
uperstar” and “Godspell.”
But the music of the 70s pro
moted ecology, community and the
common man. And songs like “I am
Woman” signaled the awakening of
women as a powerful group, Ander
son said. The crusade for various
groups’ rights ended in the late
1970s, Anderson said, because
blacks and women found equality,
the searched-for sexual freedom ar
rived and the war in Vietnam was
over.
With those causes gone, Anderson
said, today’s music has returned to
the nostalgia of the 50s and shifted
to materialism.
Gerald D. Griffin
pointed to the Army’s top logis
tics staff, where he served as dep
uty chief of staff.
Griffin, the director of Lyndon
B. Johnson Space Center in
Houston, is a recognized leader
in United States manned space
flight.
“I consider it (the Distin
guished Alumni Award) the
greatest honor bestowed on me,”
Eivind H. Johansen
says Griffin, who was instrumen
tal in having “The Aggie War
Hymn” played to wake up astro
nauts in space.
“I was flabbergasted!” Griffin
says. “My jaw dropped a foot
when President Vandiver told me
I had been chosen to receive the
award.”
The four alumni were chosen
from approximately 30 candi
dates.
Salvadoran men propose
trading cash for probation
Associated Press
CORPUS CHRISTI — Two men
accused of trying to take almost $6
million in cash out of the United
States have relinquished their claim
to the money in exchange for a
promise that they will be placed on
probation, officials said.
In a plea bargain with federal
prosecutors, Oscar Rodriguez-Feo,
of Miami, pleaded guilty to conspir
ing to transport more than $10,000
out of the country without reporting
it to the U.S. government.
Francisco Guirola-Beeche, of El
Salvador and Albuquerque, N.M.,
pleaded no contest to the conspiracy
charge.
Statements filed by prosecutors
linked the seizure with suspected
narcotics smuggling. Miami pilot
Gus Maestrales maintains he had no
knowledge of his plane’s cash cargo
on Feb. 6. and that Rodriguez and
Guirola were only passengers.
Rodriguez and Guirola have been
linked with the highest levels of El
Salvador’s political right wing. Gui-
rola’s passport listed him as an inde
pendent adviser to the Salvadoran
state assembly. When arrested, both
men carried documents that identi
fied them as special counselors to
Salvadoran Attorney General Jose
