college circuit.
Coffee House and
Movie Set by SUB
The Behrend Student Union
Board has scheduled two events
of interest for this weekend. The
regular Friday night coffee
House' resumes and the Sunday
movie program continues for the
w inter term.
Rob Carlson and Jon Gailmor,
an act currently touring the
college coffee house circuit, will
make an appearance at Behrend
Friday night. Hailing from
Westport, Connecticut, these two
musician-entertainers have sung
and played informally since their
high school days. After college,
they decided to turn professional.
Carlson and Gailmor play a
wide variety of music, including
their own compositions. Rhythm
and blues, oldies, country
western, acoustic numbers, and
barbershop, as well as madrigals
and even tape recorder games
are performed most-ably by the
pair. The duo also does some
tunes by George Harrison, Dave
Mason, Kenny Loggins, Joni
Mitchell, Steve Stills, and Randy
Newman in addition to their own
material.
Previous to this tour, Carlson
and Gailmor have appeared at
numerous coffee houses in New
England, including the Blue Tooth
and the Matterhorn in Vermont,
and the Black Pearl in Newport,
Rhode Island. In the future they
hope to do more writing and some
session work. Prices for the 9
p.m. show are 25 cents with an
activity card and 50 cents
without.
This week’s Sunday night
movie is “Alice’s Restaurant”.
This folk film classic is based on
Arlo Guthrie’s “Alice’s
Restaurant Massacre” ballad.
Directed by Arthur Penn, the
zany flick concerns itself with the
misadventures of Arlo at the
Army induction center, even
tually leading to a garbage heap
on a fateful Thanksgiving Day.
Despite all the laughs and mix
ups, “Alice’s Restaurant” con
cludes rather sadly. Everyone
shares the weariness of lost hopes
and all the characters realize the
past never was what it seemed.
“Alice’s Restaurant” was
produced by Hillard Elkins and
Joe Manduke, and stars Arlo
Guthrie, Pat Quinn, and James
Broderick. Included in the
musical credits besides Arlo
Guthrie are Joni Mitchell and
Arlo’s father Woody. There will
be two showings of the movie, the
first at 7 p.m. and the second at 9
~p.m. Prices for “Alice’s
Restaurant” are 35 cents with an
activity card and a $l.OO without.
An added note to this week’s
SUB schedule is that there will be
no Wednesday flicks. They will
resume the following week.

Registration Goes Well
Regardless of Errors
Seemingly, registration for this
school term went as smoothly,
Jan. 4 and 5, as it ever has. In
fact, it seemed to go better than it
has in a very long time. Students
did not have the usual long wait to
enter the upstairs of the RUB,
where the registration
procedures were conducted, and
once inside, all necessary cards
were drawn, filled out, and filed
with surprising speed and lack of
the usual confusion.
Yet, all did not run as well as
initial impressions would lead one
to believe. If you did not get the
exact course schedule you chose
at preregistration, perhaps you
were one of two hundred students
whose preregistration forms
were, due to some clerical error,
mislaid in the basement of the
Administration Building, not to be
found until three days before
registration began.
When asked how many
students’ schedules were altered
because of this mishap, Mr.
Kenneth Goetz, Administrative
Assistant in Academic Affairs
replied, “No more than would
have been anyway. ’ ’
Mr. Goetz, who headed the
registration program, further
explained that most of those
students affected were in the
College of Liberal Arts, and were
assigned classes which followed a
logical sequence in each student’s
fulfillment of the varied L.A.
general requirements.

sign up for a class limited to
thirty students. When this was
finally discovered by the teacher,
Mr. James Flaherty, twenty
seven of the fifty seven students
on the class list were dropped.
Behrend Will Not Close
In Spite of London Flu
By Margie Campbell
Executive Editor
Contrary to common rumor,
Behrend Campus will not close its
residence halls or stop classes
unless the number of students
becoming ill increases tremen
dously. Mrs. Barbara
Kuligowski, Director of Health
Services, reports that after
conferring with Dean Benjamin
Lane and Mr. Irvin Kochel,
Director of Behrend Campus, the
decision was made not to close
down the campus unless the
illnesses experienced by students
reached epidemic levels. So far,
approximately 150 to 175 resident
students have been treated at the
dispensary. Few commuters
have been treated at the
dispensary, although the services
are open to all students. Mrs.
Kuligowski feels that the
majority of commuters who were
sick went to their family doctor.
Despite the epidemic
proportions of London flu hitting
the United States and the
surrounding areas, Mrs.
Kuligowski does not believe that
any of the illness being treated at
the Dispensary is due to this
disease. There is little of a true
virus, she feels, but more of a
bacteria-oriented disease, with
many students suffering from
bronchitis and sore throat with
fever.
Mrs. Kuligowski said that this
is the worst illness to infect so
many students at the same time
during the five years she’s been
at Behrend. Flu shots are still
available to those students who
Registration Runs Smoothly
Registering for winter term was a breeze for most
students. This term all went well without the usual con
fusion. Some 200 students whose preregistration schedules
were misplaced, may have faced disappointment.
Thursday, January 18,1973
All’s well that ends well,
however, for no student was
irrevocably set back by these
mishaps, and no major harm was
done, in spite of the-consternation
of those students and teachers
involved.
have not felt the symptoms but
who are exposed to the diseases
by others. Dr. Gaughun, the
Dispensary doctor, has been
treating students during his office
hours, Monday and Thursday, 11
a.m. to approximately 1 p.m. The
number of students being treated
at the dispensary is decreasing,
and the symptoms appear to be
less severe.
JRC Sponsors
Winter Weekend
The Joint Residence Council of
the Behrend Campus held its first
meeting of the Winter Term, Jan.
9, to discuss several proposed
JRC sponsored activities.
First on the agenda was the
Winter Weekend to be held the
weekend of Jan. 27. Co-chairman
Mike Chiricuzio suggested a snow
sculpture contest and a semi
formal dance. Details concerning
time and place are posted
throughout the campus.
JRC has set the date for the
proposed all-night bowling party
for Feb. 17 and the time should be
12 midnight to 4 a.m. The price
should be no more than $2.50 per
person
Mike Chiricuzio anticipated
■that work on the Niagara Hall
Recreation Room would begin
sometime this week. A technical
problem has arisen with the JRC
store concerning selling in the
dorms, however f JRC and the
administration are remaining
optimistic about the idea.
