`Greasers'
by Robert Bonaker
It was Monday, February 12
and time for Part I of the Social
Committee's Nostalgia Week.
And with it were the Stomping
Suede Greasers and their Rock
and Roll Revival.
It was one of the most widely
attended social events in the
brief history of the campus as all
of the 200 seats in the
auditorium were filled
throughout the two
performances and the aisles were
packed. So packed that if a fire
marshall viewed the spectacle, he
would have closed the place
down. But what was there to
do? The auditorium is the only
faculity on campus able to
contain such a crowd, which was
admitted freely.
The Greasers had abundant
sound equipment and lights,
filling up the stage. The audience
waited for them to — make an
appearance. Then they came,

It was Friday of Nostalgia
Week and time for the Mr.
Oldies Show and Dance
Marathon.
Six couples entered the
marathon competition and after
30 hours and one minute, only
Mike Leasher and Donette
DeWeese remained. The
exhausted couple broke the
record set during a comparable
marathon held at main campus
earlier in the month. Mike and
Donette rec',ived $lOO for their
prolonged F. ffort.
The dance competition began
at 9:30 p.m. on Friday,
February 16 and it wasn't until
4:30 a.m. on the following
Sunday that Mike and Donette
yielded to the dictates of nature.
Their sternest adversaries proved
to be Jim Lundy and Maureen
Colonna who dropped out at
1:00 a.m. on Sunday.
The first couple lasted nine
and a half hours, hardly in the
running. Others lasted for 17
hours. Still another went for
nearly 23 hours.
Mr. Oldies, who charged $2OO
for his appearance, played
records for the first five hours of
the marathon. WZAP disc
jockeys carried the show the rest
of the way with their good

dressed alike in cream colored
suits, just as the high class
groups of the 'so's and early
`6o's. Only one thing was
missing: Greasy Kid Stuuf.
After a few uncalled-for
gestures to the audience (one
Greaser complained about the
relatively early time of their
performance), the show began.
The Greasers started with
"Whole Lotta Shakin',"
originally performed by Jerry
Lee Lewis . Other hits of the
recent past were "Do You Want
to Dance?," "That'll be the
Day," by Bobby Freeman, and
songs by Buddy Holly and by
the Diamonds.
The enjoyable, foot-loose
music reverberated throughout
the building. Evidently, the
"noise" was too much for some
of the secretaries and office
personnel on the second floor,
but they were accomodated by
the closing of the auditorium's
outer doors.

music. Jim Yorgey and Frank
Bellini and the others including
Head DJ Caroleetha Collins did a
fine job.

THE CAPITO LIST
A c tiv ities
Getting back to a review of
the show, the Greasers played
and sang "Rock and Roll is here
to Stay," an original hit by
Danny and the Juniors. Also
presented was the classic "Get a
Job" by the Silohuettes. "My
Boyfriend's Back" by the
Angels, and songs by the
Coasters, Gene Chandler, Rickey
Nelson, Little Richard, the
Everly Brothers, and Johnny
Preston. All that in the first
performance.
After a break, the group came
back to perform several other
songs, which I did not write
down because I was enjoying the
show immensely. All told, nearly
30 oldies were performed. You
could tell the audience also
loved the performance as people
were dancing in the aisles, and
stom ping their feet and
clapping to the music.
The Stomping Suede Greasers
came to Capitol at the tune of
$5OO. The show was piped to
those unable to attend the
concert over the friendly
airwaves of WZAP. In my
opinion, the money doled out
by the Social Committee was
worth it.

Abortion Paper
Are you writing a termpaper
on abortion?
Perhaps you may wish to read
the Report of the Pennsylvania
Abortion Law Commission
(1972) which was presented to
Capitol's library last June after
the commission made its report
to Governor Shapp.
The report is a rough draft of
the original, but is presented in a
comprehensive format. The
polished version will be
published later this year. The
paper is located in the reference
room of the library.
