Show THE SAMPLER 4 Economics By Dugway has its very own song writer In small communities, like Dugway, a talented person can sometimes go unrecognized. In this case, Pvt. 2 James Haberberger of the Military Police writes songs to pass away his idle time. He first started writing songs in 1978 as a sophmore in high school. "At first, it was- for my own pleasure. Any problems I had, I could sit down and write them out. Later on I cojild play that song back to myself on my guitar, James stated. Besides playing the guitar, he learned how to perform After asking around, he copyright office. They told him the procedures he would have to go through to get it sumitted. "Back then, in 1979, you had to submit a lead sheet and $10 for each song. Fm not sure how it goes now, but Ive heard you have to send in $20 and a demonstration tape, James said. Back home, in St. Marys, Pennsylvania, he wrote two commercials for two different radio stations. "I wrote them for a couple of small businesses. For example, I would charge $100 for the commercial, a straight fee, with no royalties attached to it, he stated. These two commercials should still be playing. "Selling the idea to the business was a big obstacle to overcome. We finally agreed that if he liked what I wrote, he would buy it. I went home, in one half hour I brought back a demonstration tape. He liked it, so we set up a time where I would get together with my friends to record it, James said. The radio station then recorded it on one of their own tapes. As far as the rest of his songs, a record company in Califronia is anxiously awaiting to hear the material. "But I havent sent them in mainly because they havent been sounding song into some-- , thing really special, stated James. Hie first two songs he ever wrote, ended up being copy- righted. "At first, it was - -- tough going about getting my work copyrighted. Being new to it, I didnt know what to do.

I now this is true for beets; 111 bet its true for grenades. 5. Always use coupons. They dont look like theyd amount to much, but they make for big savings. Youve got lots of troops, so why not organize a clipping brigade. 6. Try doing what colleges do and get people to donate a lot of stuff or money to buy stuff. Colelges get people to give them entire gyms. One thing they- do that helps is. namp the thing for the person who gave it to them: and put up a plaque. Youve got a lot of stencils in the Army and like could do it that way the Wilson Memorial Tank, the Goldfarb Memorial Mess Hall, the Stefelli Memorial Jeep, that sort of thing. It would really make Ameri- . Army officials in Washington receive a lot of mail. Rer cently, they have been get- ting letters about how to economize. Mr. Randy Cohen from New York City has offered some suggestions to get the . program started. 1. Buy on sale. Not everything has to be purchased on . a particular day. There are always white sales, for example in January. If the Ariny bought all its sheets then, it would save a bundle. 2. Travel in the and this applies to. invasions and local wars. Dont try to interfere in the internal affairs of Caribbean nations in the winter; the rates will kill you. Do it in the summer and get big price breaks. 3. Buy in bulk. Youre the Army for gosh sakes; buy lots of stuff at once and save. 4. Dont buy in fancy department stores like They are, of course, nice stores, but you pay very big for all that niceness. Try - - . off-seas- on cans feel involved, and it could be tax deductible. The Army thanks you for the suggestions, Randy. By the way, I bet we could find a uniform thats just your size.

"The people there seemed to really enjoy my songs, and was putting forth, stated could relate to the feelings I James. Another enjoyment he gets is being a member of the International ' Thespian Society. "It is one of the largest acting groups in the world.

Being in the Army, it has given James plenty of new experiences (subjects) to write about. "Like in basic training, there was a lot of fear going around. People werent in their natural setting (envir Catalog Stores and Sales Agency 43 North Main ' copyrighted, thus keeping MONTGOMERY WARD onment), he said. When James gets out of the Army, possibly in June of 1983, he has a job lined up in refrigeration. "Just for something to live on. In the end, I would like to be a sons writer (professionally). Not insoa much as a performer group, but to sit back and write songs for companies.. Getting my song sold and knowing that theyre on the radio for other people to enjoy, James stated. He believes people can relate to the feelings he puts into the songs, the actual story behind the song. "I try to portray a difficult feeling in a simple, easy to understand, way. And being on an isolated, post, like Dugway, has given me plenty of time to think, said James. Since getting out of high school and into the Army, hes been somewhat of a loner.

In fact, since being here, Ive only played alongside of a few friends, once for a - soon found the address to the - - VH1LE IN or where to go, he said. with the drums, eventually getting proficient enough to play in a band. "For about a year, I was in a music circuit playing with various groups in my area (Pittsburgh, Philadelphia), he said. His playing of musical instruments is directly related to his song writing. "The lyrics can turn an average by Sp4 Tim Karas Fjws IFeaitnuiF Thursday, November 18, 1982 First, the bad news. Much of the book being reviewed in this column is pedantic, boring and completely incomprehensible to the average reader. While overlooking the men are destined to come after the war: Mott ' gether and Kolff to work on the development of space flight, Grant to serve in the Senate segments that could have been built up into something more literarily exciting, the author instead dwells on subjects that are of little interest to most of us. The reader finds himself yawning when he could be anxiously turning the page to find out what comes next. :Now, the good is the new James Michener novel, and even weak Michener is better than most of the books on the lists. His skill with characterization is apparent here, and despite the lapses into scientific mumbo-jumbthe readcan er easily follow the development of the major participants in this sprawling chronicle of the most exciting experiment of our time. There is Stanley Mott, a young engineer during World War II who sees the explosive power of the V rockets and dreams of harnessing that energy force for news.-Spac- -- e best-sell- er o, ' . Nazi-develop- ed more challenging uses. Dieter Kolff is a German scientist forced to use his genius for war rather than research. Norman Grant is a naval officer in the Pacific who commits one act of bravery that is to be his ticket to success back in the States. Finally; there is John Pope, a high school football player in the fictitious state of Fremont and a boy who is in love with the stars. These four . and become an early advocate of the fledgling space program, and John Pope to become one of the early as tronauts chosen to walk bn the moon. Hie lives of these men and of the thousands of others who make up Space form the basis of Micheners work and ;he weaves them into one giant tapestry with consummate skill. His knowledge of the space program is and this is evident in far-reachi- most of us are not space flight experts and his pages of technical reporting will leave us cold. Fortunately, there is enough substance to keep most readers going to the very last page, and it is fascinating to see how the space program became entwined with the other social forces that have shaped this half of the century: McCarthyism, Vietnam, the drug culture, political and deceit, the biggest tragedy of all, the refusal to continue the space program after the successful anti-evolutionsi- m, moon probes. My all-tim- favorite e Michener books remains Hawaii, and Space does not comeclose to being compar- ed with that stirring novel, but it is well worth your time because of the comments it makes about our society today and about the future of the most exciting venture man has ever undertaken.
