The heavens are divided into twelve parts consisting of thirty degrees each and known as houses. The first house deter mines a person's physical characteristics, general disposition and personality. The second house is associated with finances mostly those earned by the person. The third house is associated with short trips, communication and movement. The fourth house contains the mysterious, the occult, the un conscious. It also reveals the hidden areas of a person's life, and the influence one of his parents may have had on his life. It deals with those things surrounded and protected: the home, the womb, and the grave. The fifth house concerns the person's love life, - his children, and his creative and artistic endeavors. The sixth house is associated with care of the body (not vanity), work, and disappointments in life.

Brian Ferry, the group's leader and main impetus has made the transition from kinky English lounge lizard to American sex idol in less time than it takes Bowie to change sexes. As a recent candidate for Viva magazine's foldout feature Ferry has made the transition complete. The only problem arises when people start taking him seriously. Anyone familiar with Roxy Music's past adventures is certainly aware that the lyrics are seldom little more than satire upon prime -time television themes. Though Ferry's lyrics come from a rather bizarre point' of view they are reflections upon the absurdities and ironies of life rather than upon its com monalities. On the album "For Your Pleasure" you'll find the delightful ditty "In Every Dream Home a Heartache" which in essence is the story of love bet ween a suburban upper-class reprobate and a mail-order in flatable rubber doll. Now who can take something like that seriously, or even attempt to pretend that they find some deep meaning there, especially in light seventh house is the house of marriage and partnerships. It expresses all of the people a person may need to provide him with harmony and unity. The eighth house contains inheritances and an aura of death. The ninth house shows lengthy travels, extended com munications and foreign travels. It also reveals prophecies, and religiou - s and spiritual forces. The tenth house shows how a person will earn his living in order to provide security for -himself-and his loved ones. The eleventh house is the house of friends and acquaintances. It often makes personal relationships abstract. The twelfth house emphasizes at colloquim . . . Historic By Chuck Stanish Thanks to the efforts of the History department at Behrend, the third annual History Colloquium was a fascinating and informative afternoon. Participants lectured and discussed topics of their respective areas of specialization. The opening remarks were by Dr. Frank forter. The first lecturer was Dr. Nancy Rosenblatt from main campus, who discussed the Roman Catholic church in nineteenth century Spain. The lecture concerned itself with the degree of liberalism found in the Spanish government and its effect on its policies. Specifically, the reconciliation between Spain and the Church, why the degree of liberalism of the Moderados. Dr. Rosenblatt is a professor of History at Main Campus and has published several articles on mid nineteenth century Spain. The lecture given at our colloquium appeared in the Catholic Historical Review. The second session was the lecture "Church and State in the Tuscan Risorgimento", by Dr. Bruce Griffith, Associate Professor of History at Catawba College. Again, running on the theme of church-state relations of the nineteenth century, Dr. Driffith discussed the effects of nationalism in the Italian State of By Tom Stanger of the final lyric "I blew up your body, but you blew my mind"? Or consider the fact that on Ferry's second solo album he sings the old Leslie Gore hit"lt's My Party (and I'll Cry If I Want To)" using the girl's lyrics. This is funny yes, even unique considering Ferry's quavering vocals and tacky cabaret mannerisms. On Roxy's latest album "Country Life" the final cut entitled `•`Prairie Rose" which, along with the album's grotesque cover (complete with pubes and boobs) shakes the roots of American Western music right down to its Buddy Holly. But let's not let our desire to understand Roxy Music on a philosophical level stand in the way of our enjoyment of it. Any interpretation in such a regard is nothing more than pure unadulterated bullshit. The whole idea of trying to understand Roxy Music is reminiscent of the astronomer Drahe, who thinking that imbeciles were persons touched by God, kept one around his observatory, listening intently to the inane babbling in hopes of grasping the elusive wisdom of the universe. Instead he should have tried dancing to it. Behrend Colregian spiritual qualities and it com bines care of the body with care of the soul. Each house has its own ruling planet and corresponding sign.

The lecture which was given recently to the Interuniversity consortium on Revolutionary Euope at Duke University. After lunch, the third session began with a presentation en titled: "The Problem of Liberal Orthodoxy in Nineteenth Century Russia." The lecturer was Dr. Paul Valliere, assistant professor of Religion at Columbia University. The lecture centered around M.M. Tareev, a radical cleric in nineteenth century Russia. The presentation was main points of Dr. Valliere's doctoral dissertation on M.M. Tareev. Dr. Valliere is currently on leave from Columbia to do research on Russian Orthodox theologians. SUB elects board members Interviews for the selection of the 1975-76 Student Union Board were held April 22 and 24. The following people were chosen to be the next year's board members pending the actions of the RUB Governing Board: President - Pat Weldon; Vice president-open; Secretary - Lorinne Weldon; Treasuer - Sue Loeffel; Hospitality - Debbie Kimmich; Social - Judy Reed; Films - Bob Curtiss; Cultural - THE PARTICIPATING ORGANIZATIONS IN THE SPRING ARTS FESTIVAL Would like to take this opportunity to honor and thank the following people for their con tributions... Mary Etta Scott Edna Babcock Linda Fisk Robert MacDonald Cynthia Krishna Dr. Calvin Spector Dr. Harry Cunningham Mary Masters 'Rimers' -meticulous By Tom Stanger Monday's - initial dress rehearsal of the Behrend Players spring production "The Rimers of Eldritch" was an experience of pure bedazzlemant. Though the Players have yet to add final touches to their production of the play by Langford Wilson, the acting was articulate and the cast was very convincing in portraying the characters and also in conveying the mood of the action. Gut-level impact is enhanced by a number of special effects which are at times deceivingly subtle, but highly effective throughout. The murder of Skelly (Craig Latimer) and the feelings and repercussions of the populace of the small midwestern community The last presentation were response to the papers of Dr. Helmut Schnitter, our visiting professor of History. Dr. Schnitter questioned whether the Spanish Moderados were actually as liberal as the lecture by Dr. Rosenblatt claimed and some statments by Dr. Griffith. Here audience participation was in cluded which stimulated interest. I don't know if many minds were changed but much was learned. Unfortunately, few students attended the colloquium. For liberal arts majors and especially history majors this can prove to be very informative. It would be worth anybody's while to attend the colloquium which will be held next year.

William McGee Stuart Stiffler Judith Carlson Kiyoe Mizusawa Roseland Bainum Patricia Holland Cynthia Barnett Dr. and Mrs. Mester Jay DiFrank of Eldritch following the decrepit, but quite harmless old man's untimely demise are the focal points of the plot of the story. But it is within the dialogue of the play where the true meaning of the play emerges_ Here the ignorance ,of the simple, God fearing people of Eldritch is quite masterfully developed through the portrayal of hypocrisy at' its fullest extent among the sup posedly close-knit community members. Arno Selco, producer and director of the Players, deserves a great deal of credit for the .oyerwhelming success of this theatrical production. The casting' for this performance was obviously meticulous and con siderable insight in the use of various . lighting, sound and staging techniques is enormously effective. The play opened Wednesday, May 7 and performances will continue through May 17. Eight performances with opening curtainat 8 p.m. are scheduled. Tickets are currently on sale at the Reed Union Building in the TV room. Seating for each per formance is limited to 60 persons, so it is advised that tickets be purchased well in advance of performance dates. Traditional RUB birthday celebrated In case you missed it, last Friday was the social event of the season, the seventh RUB bir thday party. The festivities began at 12 noon on May 2 in front of that foolish feline known as the Nit tany Lion. In keeping with Behrend tradition, legal beverages were served, cake and ice cream also. And for your listening pleasure, MACE Electronics provided a proud display - which featured not only music but free Elton John paters. But perhaps the most outstanding feature of the whole event was that it didn't even cut into your beer money. The whole deal was free of charge, courtesy of the RUB. So if you couldn't make it this year, you'll just have to wait until the RUB is eight years old to piCk up some freebies.
