Page 4 SPRING TERM ACTIVITIES by Fred Prouser Spring term has finally arrived and with it comes some very special activities plan ned with just about every taste in mind. For the adventurous there is the White Water Raft Trip currently scheduled for the weekend of May 25. Culture abounds on campus this Spring with the Philadelphia Baroque Quartet per forming on April Bth. For Jazz fans, streak over to the Student Center on Tues., April 9th to hear THE LATENT IMAGE and THE NEW MODERN JAZZ QUARTET, sponsored by Head Shop. African music will be featured on April 26th at 2 pm in the Auditorium, and at a dance later that evening in the Student Center. The major social event of the year, the Spring Dinner Dance is on May 4th and will be held in Hershey. "Saint Joan" by George Bernard Shaw, will be critically analyzed by Dr. Stanley Weintraub on May 7th. In a lighter vein, the 3rd Annual Bathtub Race takes place on May Bth. So start scrounging around the junkyards for your vehicle. In past years the tubs have been outfitted with everything from baby carriage wheels to wide tread auto tires. Riding a bathtub is one hell of a way to beat the gas crunch, but this event is sponsored by the Engineers and leave it to them to find better ways of living through technology. Artistic talent on campus culminates in the Student - Faculty Art Exhibit which will be held in the Gallery/Lounge from May 13 to June 15. The Music Festival descends upon our campus the weekend of May 17. The festi val is organized by Good People Produc tions and for those who have not heard about the previous festivals, suffice it to say that they're a trip and a half. Opera fans will be pleased to know that Ida Briscoe will be on campus May 23rd w;Lth Mary Bennett, her accompanist to pre sent selections from various operas. The final activity of the term, Spring Commencement is scheduled for Sat., June Bth, with final details yet to be worked out. Any suggestions regarding commence ment would be appreciated and can be made to Mike Leasher in the SGA office or Fred Prouser in the Public Information Office, W-129. ACROSS 1. Rock plant 5.

Summer Study Abroad The Institute of International Education has just published its newest edition of Summer Study Abroad, a book which describes more than 600 programs for 1974 in 55 countries. It covers 75 fields of study in courses that last anywhere from one week to three months. Costs of many of these programs are in the SS-$lO a day range; almost all are under $2O a day. In 1974, that represents one of the best ways around to see the world and learn something at the same time. Most programs include: ac commodations in some of the oldest and most famous univer sity cities in Europe, Asia, Latin America, Canada, Africa, and Oceania; instruction in fiels ranging from archaeology to urban planning; study tours with both foreign and U.S. university professors; and opportunities to meet others from all over the world with similar interests. Many of the programs are planned for everyone from 15year old high school students to people of retirement age and beyond. About half the programs listed are sponsored by U.S.colleges and universities and award U.S. college credit. The others are sponsored by private organiza tion and foreign universities. In most countries, universities are not open for regular summer sessions. Instead, they give summer courses especially designed for foreigners. An American studying in Austria, for instance, will meet not just Austrians and other Americans, but students from all parts of the world. A number of programs listed in Summer Study Abroad involve study and travel in more than one country; some are even world circling. Program descriptions give dates, fields, academic level, prerequisites, credits awarded, language of instruction, whether courses are taught by U.S. or foreign fculty or both, costs, travel and housing information. Summer Study Abroad sells for $3.00 per copy and may be ordered from the Institute of International Education 809 United Nations Plaza New York, New York 10017. Payment must accompany orders under $lO.OO. Seals & Crofts at HershevPark Arena Seals & Crofts played Hershey Park Arena on Thursday, March IU, after cancelling out once before due to illness# Those who held on to their tickets were not disappointed as Seals and Crofts did a one and a half hour set that included "Summer Breeze", "Humming bird", and "Diamond Girl"# As the arena filled up with people, frishees and balloons were tossed about among those on the arena floor. A lone male stationary streaker did his tiling for about ten minutes. It appealed that he had escaped the eyes of the ever present law officers, but after the opening set, he was questioned at his seat by a plain clothesnan. After refusing to go, he was shown an I.D. with a badge and then went peaceably. The road manager for Seals and Crofts came out before they went on With a blurb deploring such activity. So much for his opinion, what was important was the music that night. As as Seals « Crofts cane out, they went straight into "Hummingbird" and without exaggeration it was a crowd pleaser. They explained that they wanted to please everyone, so they did numbers from each of their albums, including their latest, "Unborn Child". Along with the title song were "King of Nothing", a lament about youth and unfulfilled dreams; "l/indflowers", an ode to the beauty of wild flowers; and "Desert People." The lyrics in "Desert People" reflect the Baha'i faith that both men follow. Basically, Baha'i's accept all other religions, their teachings and prophets incorporate them into their own. Its philospphy stresses the oneness of mankind, how all men are ■ rely brothers and how a global community is necessary if we are all to survive. 'Dae high point of the concert was "''iemond Girl", As they got into the song, a mirrored ball above the arena floor was hit with spot light beams. As it revolved, the ball filled the arena with dartin 0 and swirling streaks of light. Aside from a straight instru mental and some fiddle work at the end of the set, what was heard that evening was exactly as would be heai'd on their albums. To achieve this degree of control over their music must take a lot of effort, but they seem to thoroughly enjoy their work and respond to an audience in a line manner, which they did in an encore and a small talk after the con cert about the Baha'i faith. Jazz Concert The Headshop and Social Committee's of Capitol Campus, Penn State Univer sity are sponsoring the New Jazz Quartet and the Latent Image in Concert on Tuesday evening, April 9,197 U at 8:30 p.m. in the Student Center# The event is free and the public is invited.
