Action Behind the Scenes
In every successful theatre
production, there are always
"behind the scenes" people. The
behind-the-scenes people perform
many different functions. They
design and build sets, choose
props, costumes, do publicity,
design make-up, manage stages.
arrange sound tracks and design
lighting.
So you see, while the actors
usually receive all of the credit
for successful production. there
are people behind the scenes who
deserve some credit, too. Every
worker is just as important as the
other and together they make up
the show.
So we would like to give special
recognition to all those hard
working people listed below.

Bargain on
Black Belt
Last Tuesday, in the lobby of
Lawrence Hall, a man well
trained in the Japanese Martial
Art of Shotokan Karate described
his purpose in the lessons that
began last Tuesday at 7 p.m. in
Erie Hall. The event was well
attended by a very interested
group of students. The man's
name was Artis Simmons, a fifth
degree Black Belt. He explained
the need for people, especially
women, to learn a form of self
defense. Many people would still
be alive today if they knew how to
break a simple hold. Mr. Sim
mons demonstrated how. by
simply moving your arm toward
an opponent's thumb you can
release yourself from a wrist
hold. He also emphasized the self
confidence that can be obtained
from studying Karate. Karate
students usually walk away from
fights rather than staying to
prove something. Karate also
puts the body into excellent
shape, co-ordinating the mind and
the muscles.
The three-hour lessons, which
are sponsored by the JRC, will be
every Tuesday. The cost of each
lesson will be $2, payable each
class. This is a discounted fee for
Behrend students. Uniforms are
not immediately needed, but the
students that continue will need
them.
These classes are an extreme
bargain to get your body in shape.

save your life.

In October of 1973, they took an
invitation to play at the
University of Buffalo coffee
house with songwriter Eric Kaz.
The response was good. and since
that date, they have focused their
time to the acoustic material they
are now performing in clubs
around Buffalo.
When watching them perform.
you get the idea that the in
fluences that direct their music
are many and widely varied. It's
true, in both cases. Michael has
the role of being the melody,
rhythm, and accompanist to
Debby all at the same time. It's a
difficult task that Michael does
well. Drawing his style from
Ralph Towner and Robert
Johnson who are not at all close in
their manner of playing, or the
time period they play in, but they
both form a union of being fine
guitar players. Debby's in
fluences are a large and assorted
number of vocalists, including
Ella Fitzgerald and Aretha
Franklin to name a few.
Together they do a fine job of
arranging and sometimes im
provising their music. They
perform traditional blues and
ballads as well as contemporary
material. The blending of their
individual backgrounds and the
influences of the past and present
make an interesting and effective

The picture your neighbors are

"Walking Tall" is based on the
true story of a young man, Buford
Pusser, who wouldn't surrender
to the system...and the girl who
stood by him, until she was shot
full of bullet holes. Any observer
will notice that this theme of man
against society is getting a lot of
play here at the Country Club.
