Asbiry Park Press ioikuii Springsteen Comes Home No Uniforms Helps Mood Of Concerts 1" I ill Bartlett, a former UCLA football player, emphasizes that his men cannot make arrests, and are thus hired just to keep things "cool" at rock concerts. "A uniformed policeman seems to stir antagonism in young people," he contends. "Our men, a peer group of the audience, are able to keep things orderly because they speak the same language, and because of their size they are able to avoid hard confrontations." TYPICALLY, the young security force will watch the concert-goers as they enter the arena, looking for bottles or other prohibited items (i.e., flash cameras, tape recorders, Once the concert begins, they keep the stage clear of overenthusias-tic fans and quiet any disturbances in the crowd. Many rock promoters are now eager to hire the plainclothes security guards in order to limit the number of uniformed policemen at their concerts. Jim Hardy, manager of the Los Angeles Sports Arena, has publicly accused the Los Angeles Police Department of harassment "designed simply to put us out of the rock concert business." At a five-night stand by Pink Floyd in the Sports Arena, policemen arrested 511 concert fans, on charges that included possession of marijuana, carrying concealed weapons, drunkeness and ticket scalping.

Jim Rissmiller, whose Wolf-Rissmiller firm promoted the Pink Floyd concerts, charged the police with "rigging a setup to make an example of us." SOME OF THE YOUNG By RICHARD TRUBO Nonuniformed young men most of them college athletes are being hired as crowd controllers at rock concerts. In increasing numbers, they are sharing concert security duties with local policemen, and sometimes are almost eliminating the need for law enforcement personnel. Such peer-group security forces are being offered by firms like National Event Services, Contemporary Security and Peace Power. And rock promoters and auditorium managers agree that they are often much more effective than uniformed policemen or ushers. "There might be a physical reaction by a young person to a uniformed policeman," says Tom Lie-gler, general manager of Anaheim Convention center, the site of many rock concerts.

"If one of our ushers said, 'Miss, please sit she might not. But if one of these athletes says, 'Cookie, cool the job is accomplished quickly and quietly." THE BRAWNY security men usually do not provoke the animosity that often shows toward policemen at rock concerts. But the college athletes can still be intimidating and forceful, and accomplish most of what policemen can do with less commotion. Bob Bartlett, 26, president of National Event Services, explains that his men "are there to protect the rights of the audience to attend the concert in safety and enjoyment. They are there to enable the musicians to perform and to get them in and out of the facility in safety." mmmmmm wmmmmmMmMmM HI A-5 Oct.

13, 1975 people arrested that night have subsequently had their charges dropped, and are now suing the city for false arrest and imprisonment. Then there was an incident during the summer in Syracuse, N.Y., where at least 30 persons were injured when state troopers clashed in a tear-gas melee with young music fans at the Great American Music Fair. No wonder then that rock promoters are willing to turn to nonuniformed security personnel in hopes of minimizing such problems. However even these young security men have been the targets of some criticism, although the objections have Forgotten Sothern Hipp I 1 spotlight of Red Bank's Carlton Theater. almost disappeared in recent months.

Two years ago, an ABC-owned radio station in Los Angeles threatened to cancel all its advertisements for concerts patrolled by one student-guard organization, on the basis of revorts of overreaction and unprovoked brutality. KLOS eased its pressure on the security force when it felt that the caliber of the patrols had improved. Controversial incidents are now rare. Mark Davis, a football player for Golden West College and an employe of National Event Services, says that his own demeanor has changed at rock concerts. "I used to be uptight.

When I felt threatened, it was bingo, pull the trigger. I used to get psyched before going on a job, 'another rowdy "I've learned control. Now I'm relaxed before going to a job. I can have more fun." simply a matter of learning his way around the studio. Springsteen came on stage a half-hour late and bellowed into the miRe, "What's happening?" He opened with "Meeting Across the River." The band came out for the second song and the big saxophonist, dressed, as always, in white from head to toe, Clarence C'lemmons, got even a louder ovation than Bruce had.

As they loosened up, Springsteen carried on like a slapstick comedian. He jumped into the orchestra pit, ran through the front rows, back on stage, pirouetting, shadow boxing, walked about like a contemporary Charlie Chaplin and generally came across like Dustin Hoffman might have if he had chosen rock and roll over acting. "I wanna dedicate this song to all the girls," he says, leading into "Pretty Flamingo." "Cause this is a song about the kind of girl you can't go up to talk to. Man, I couldn't talk to girls Bruce Springsteen (left) and portion. But live, what I considered an album dud, "She's the One," hits me hard in the chest and knocks me out.

The characters from "Jungleland," as Bruce sings, talks and whispers the story, begin to take shape. You talk about Phil Spector's Wall of Sound. It would crumble in comparfson to the wall the Street Band builds in "She's the One." And how many performers can you list who sound better in person than they do with studio embellishment? Maybe I had built up antibodies or something, but by the end of the Saturday gig, I had a roaring dose of Springsteen fever. Earlier in the week, as I prepared for the concert, I came across a New York Times piece by Henry Edwards, At the time, it made me feel less alone because Edwards had written the first less-than-compli-menlary piece (besides my own recent articles) on Offers Watching the Crowds- Fractures By Edward By MARTY PACKIN Press Staff Writer RED BANK The Carlton Theater's marquis made a simple but sufficient statement: "Homecoming Oct. 11.

The homecoming was that of Bruce Springsteen and his Street Band, their first area appearance as genuine stars thanks to the release of "Born to Run" and near unanimous nationwide praise. Halfway through the flawless two-hour show of the earlier of two sold-out con- Opinion certs, the praise thundering down on this Chaplinesque rock and roll figure in black leather jacket, Bruce rasped: "Ya know, ya think about comin' back and ya wonder what it's gonna be like and ya think about it this way." As I watched Springsteen drain himself, as he gave it all away and I gladly took it all in, I wrote in my notebook: "The past two recent articles I have written about Bruce Springsteen are now inoperative." I had seen him 1the first night of his New York Bottom Line gig and I missed his message. My copy of "Born to Run" is nearly worn out. I had listened for what so many other critics had heard, but I really didn't hear it. The comparisons to the Beatles and Dylan ticked me off.

I was missing the point entirely. Early in the Saturday night show, I realized it was time for an about face. I felt like a fool and I wondered if I could pull off the turnabout graciously. It's 1975; it's not 1967. And in 1975, Bruce Springsteen is rock and roll not jazz rock, not folk rock, not country rock, but high energy, old-fashioned rock and roll.

"Born to Run," his third and best album, I realized, is only a promise of what's to come. It's beginning to sound like a cliche, but he still has to be seen live to be fully appreciated. On record, maybe three songs Road," "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" and the title cut) are of classic pro- Association in New York established the first U.S. school of midwifery in 1931. Today, the American College of Nurse-Midwives approves educational institutions and certifies practitioners through a theoretical and clinical examination.

There are 13 certified midwifery schools in the U.S., including one at Yale and Johns Hopkins. To be a midwife in New Jersey, one must be a licensed registered nurse; must be a graduate of an approved midwifery school, and have passed the American College of Nurse-Midwives exam. According to the State Board of Medical Examiners' office, Trenton, there are 45 licensed mid-wives in the state. UPON FIRST meeting, Mrs. Barnhart defies the negative stereotype of the midwife.

She is small, slender, immaculately groomed, well-educated and articulate. "I know people picture a large-bosomed woman with her hair pulled back in a bun; someone not too clean with her sleeves rolled up and with wet hands," she said, with a smile. "The whole picture conjures up second-class care, babies delivered at home under unsanitary conditions. It's difficult to change that impression unless you've been the recipient of good midwifery." According to Mrs. Barnhart, the aim behind the up and coming trend of hospital-based midwifery is to give the normal mother the best possible continuous care before, during, after delivery, and between pregnancies.

The midwife's education does not prepare her for gynecological diagnosis and treatment nor for surgical and pathological obstetrics. She is knowledgeable about these areas, but only to alert her to abnormal conditions which require the expertise of a physician. Today's midwife is actually "resuming the duties ascribed to physicians in the zeal to do away with the untrained 'granny' birth Nurse-Midwife Constant Care assistant in the early years of the 20th century," continued Ruth Lubic in the article on midwifery excerpted at the beginning of the story. "I am not a frustrated doctor," said Mrs. Barnhart, who lives on Westwood avenue and travels more than an hour to work.

"I am a nurse, and I don't pretend to be anything else." 3 Asbury Park Press at all. Me and Steve (guitarist Miami Steve Van Zandt) used to sit on my front porch when I lived on South street in Freehold. Every day at five o'clock this girl would walk by and I wanted to go up and talk to her. "I'd say to Steve, 'Go talk to her, And we'd sit there like two fools. We tried to get the crazy kid on the block to go do it for us." He said they tried to figure out her name, then letting the opening to "Pretty Flamingo" continue the age-old tale, his back to the audience, he joyously screams into the microphone, "I shoulda told her I was in a band." Later, he says, "This is a song about being here, ya know." And into "Sandy," an adolescent anthem to Boardwalk days.

A fitting encore: Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels' "Devil With a Blue Dress." It was only two hours, but it seemed like years maybe 1956 to 1975. advancing maternity care, she is realistic about the newness of her fole and the reluctance of many patients to stray from what they're used to. "I think patients should have a choice of who takes care of them," she added. "I don't expect to serve anyone who doesn't want me." Miami Steve Van Zandt in Springsteen that I've seen in months. I jotted down the headline: "If There Hadn't Been a Bruce Springsteen, Then the Critics Would Have Made Him Up." I heartily agreed, not only with the headline, but with Edwards' line: "He (Springsteen) simply pastes together bits and pieces, and many of the bits thus embalmed are copies of some of rock and roll's finest moments." A lot of what Edwards had to say still applies.

Springsteen's earlier works smack much too much of Van Morrison. And in "Born to Run," it's easy to pick out people as familiar as Dylan and Morrison and as obscure as the Buckinghanis and the Walker Brothers. But there is still a wide gap between what Bruce puts down on vinyl and what he has to say in person. Each album has helped to bridge the gap and there's little doubt jn my mind that his fourth "album will bridge it even further. He certainly knows his way around a stage and now it's Patient Nurse-midwife Lorraine mother to the heartbeat exam.

Ml OIIHMIIII II l'' II I "Just as the word "nurse-midwifery" has two components, so has the practice couldnot abandon nursing, for nursing is a part of me the part that has made me a better midwife. The other side of that coin is that midwifery has made me a better nurse." Ruth Lubic, general director of the Maternity Center Association, New York By Barbara Schoeneweis Press Staff Writer LONG BRANCH Lorraine Barnhart soon will spend her days giving complete care to the normal expectant mother, doing everything from a pap smear to delivering a baby, to assisting the family in its adjustment to the newest member. She dos not replace the gynecologist-obstetrician, but rather acts as a- nurse practitioner in a role she has been educated to handle.

At 29, eight years of nursing, Mrs. Barnhart is in a four-week orientation program leading to the active practice of midwifery in the clinics of North Hudson Hospital, Weehawkin. She is joining a growing number of nurses who have extended their roles in the field of obstetrics, becoming hospital-based midwives. NURSE-MIDWIVES were first formally Introduced in this country in 1925 in the rural Frontier Nursing Service, In Kentucky. The program was started by Mary Breckenridge, a nurse who took her midwifery training in Great Britain.

The Maternity Center Inside Panorama We hear a lot these days about new words creeping into the English language. Isn't anyone concerned about the old words which have disappeared? I am not referring to ancient words but those which have dropped from usage during the 1900s. So you are up on all the modern dances.

in education from Jersey City State College. She took her midwifery training at Downstate Medical Center of the State University of New York, Brooklyn campus. She also is a certified LaMaze instructor. She began her nursing career as a labor and delivery nurse at Monmouth Medical Center and continued practicing in Germany when her husband was shipped When she returned, she became head nurse at the clinic back at Monmouth. Before her appointment to the North Hudson staff, she was with the private practice of Federici, Malachowsky, and Halpern, as a nurse-midwife, exclusive of delivery room privileges.

"I saw routine patients in the office, did a lot of education and counseling about birth control and other matters. I also did a lot of phone work, answering patients' questions, allaying their fears," she said. "It takes an unthreatened doctor to accept a midwife in his midst, and these men were just great." But the desire to practice fully became overwhelming and when the chance to go to Weehawkin came up, Mrs. Barnhart could not resist the opportunity, despite the distance.
