This disc jockey, using the most modern equipment possible, hopes that the Behrend community will tune in to their station. Rundgren's Erie appearance By Kevin Conway Collegian Staff Writer Todd Rundgren's Utopia made another Erie appearance last Tuesday night, the 28th, this time at the Fieldhouse. This concert, like most these days, started about half an hour later than scheduled. Once Todd was on stage and ready to start, he couldn't begin because a part of his equipment was on fire. While his roadies set up the spare part, Todd stood there laughing while the rest of the group warmed up. The music they play is definitely rock, but you sure can't dance to it. They performed a lot of material from their Utopia album, as well as a good portion of Initiation. They have a new album out which is called Another Live, and they per formed a song from it called Another Lif e which Todd described as being "about a thing a lot of people are getting into these days—reincarnation!" Over the net.. . A well-executed over-the-bead shot is countered with an a ttempted block in recent women's volleyball action. Published by the students of the Behrend College, Pennsylvania State University Thursday, November 6, 1975 During the set Todd was con stantly dancing around the stage, and at one point climbed up on top of a bank of amplifiers to sing. After one of the songs Todd explained that Erie was the first stop on this, the last Utopia tour of 1975, and that they had just returned from a European tour. This helped to explain why Rundgren's voice kept cracking throughout the evening. When they had played for about an hour and a half, there was a fifteen-minute intermission during which everyone just sort of stumbled around showing off their "Todd" t-shirts. Rundgren and Utopia then came back and performed a medley of his biggest hits: "A Dream Goes On Forever," "Hello, It's Me," and "I Saw The Light." It was during these three songs that the audience was most receptive, the crowd was hushed and nobody was moving around. This part of the concert was the highlight of their performance. Scrivenor concert ... Fall By Janet Mazur Collegian Staff Writer Kicking off the Autumn weekend festivities was the Thursday evening Gove Scrivenor concert, in the Reed Lecture Hall. A solo guitar and vocalist, Mr. Scrivenor, had the most original style of guitar work that I've ever encountered. (I know it sounds rather cliched, yet I can't avoid stating it). Not being mechanically inclined, I have absolutely no idea what sort of technical devices he used to achieve his style, yet it certainly classifies him as unique. The music itself was generally original folk, country and blues; outstanding guitar work nearly always dominating over repetitious, weak lyrics, which left a bit to be desired. He did sneak in some non-original Rundgren plays mainly syn thesized music now, which is fine, but after a couple hours it all begins to run together, and starts to sound the same, which is pretty damned annoying. The major flaw of this concert was that there was hardly any variety in the style of which the music was performed. They are masters of synthesized rock, but I can't help wondering if this one style is enough to sustain the group, or enough to please an audience. It was a small crowd Tuesday night, between 1,500 and 2,000 people.

SUCCOSS material, the best known of it being the Steven Stills' hit, Change Partners, which he adapted to his own consistent style. His most dominant quality, easily, is his versatility—not only did he play one of his two guitars, but also, a rather strange looking and sounding instrument he referred to as an audio harp. On this, he performed only one selection, which amazingly enough, was Bach's Ode to Joy, a rare feat for a folk guitarist. At all - times, whether per forming his own material, or that of another composer (most of which were his peers), he was totally engulfed in the music, constantly maintaining rhythm by stomping his feet. Between songs, and at times, even during them, he related humorous impromptu stories, to which the audience responded warmly. The most memorable of these were the comic references to the chilly Erie temperatures. On one occasion he actually at tributed his mistakes (a forgotten lyric, or a lost chord) to the change of climate—quite drastic, considering that he's from Nash ville. The audience was em barrassingly small, yet for tunately enough, he was able to make light of the situation, ("How is everyone tonight—all eight of us?"). Had the audience been just a bit larger, I'm sure he would have included another set. (He played only two). Yet the small audience added an informal tone to his performance. Completing the evening with a rather lengthy harmonica piece, which he played with equal skill, . it is best-said that his talent lies in his versatility, strong voice, —Pick up a campus map - you might need it! —Listing of any activities oc curring on campus this weekend (movies, jammies, etc.) —Obtain information on main campus housing for the future. —Great location for meeting friends !

P.S. - D.R.: Are you enjoying your freedom? Cagers are set to go By Mark Reese Sports Editor Sweeting's basketball program is underway and the team is pulling together for their opening game of the 75-76 season with Robert Wesleyan. The game will take place here in Erie Hall on Saturday. November 29th. The team for this year promises to be a very strong one, with nine returnees from last year's squad and an eager group of freshmen. At the head of this year's roster is Jim Davis, the only junior on the team. He will be returning to Behrend from University Park, and be eligible to play after the first two games. His scoring record is 248 points last year, second only to Larry McAleer, who has since moved on, Mark Chesko, who scored 241 last year is another forward. Jon Kennedy, the biggest man on the team at 6'6", gathered 153 points last year and promises to be a boom this year again. Eddie Evans, a guard, will be playing and comes from last year with 181 points. Larry Szosyorek, the team's only senior, will be playing forward along with Jack Gordon. Rusty Cunningham and Pat Gahr, both sophomore returnees from last year, complete the list of potential starters. They face a rigorous schedule of difficult opponents and hope to improve on last year's record. They have a more experienced team and strong determination. We can look forward to a lot of great games in Erie Hall this winter, so get your booster card now and save money as you support the Behrend basketball team by coming out to see them win. Psych Club kicks off The Behrend College Psychology Club is getting off the ground. This year we hope to sponsor several field trips, guest speakers, and an end of the year seminar. We hope that all in terested students will .attend an organizational meeting on Thursday, November 5, common hour. At this time, we will start formulating plans and activities for the year. Any student having completed at least Psychology 2 or currently enrolled in that course is eligible for membership. With a little student involvement, we feel many worthwhile programs can be offered this year that will benefit all of the students, especially those involved with psychology. Anyone interested or needing more information should contact Mike Woods, who is again this year involved with this club.
