CAPITOL CAMPUS READER Vol. 6 No. 25 Capitol Campus Penn State University About Ready To Boogie By Ed Perrone The Seventh Annual Capitol Campus Spring Concert will be held on Saturday, May 21, 1977 on the hill behind the Engineering Lab. The planned starting time for the festival is 11:00 A.M., with music to be provided until about 7:00 P.M. The reason for the early closing time, according to concert organizer Steve Marchini, is that there are no facilities for lights on or around the stage. Performers who have been booked for the concert are: Terry Beard, Taxi, Third Stream, Latent Image, Grass Express, and one other group which doesn't have a name. This last group was "discovered" at the Spring Jam, held at the Student Center on May 5, by some of the people organizing the concert. "They sounded really good, for people who had never played together before," Marchini said. "So we asked them if they wanted to play, and they worked up a set for us." Red Delicious, who were previously scheduled to appear at the concert, have cancelled. Marchini said that he expects a crowd of approximately the same size as last year's, which was estimated at about 10,000 people. One thing Marchini emphasized in discussing the concert was cars. No cars will be allowed into Meade Heights on the day of the concert, he said, except those of students and their guests. All guests of Meade Heights residents, therefore, must register their cars with Security. Also, he said, students living on campus should not drive to the concert, as this could cause traffic problems. All traffic coming into the campus that day will be routed through the Main Entrance, around the Township Building, and back to the Main Building's parking lot. Additional parking will be available in the field past the Main Building. The main campus roadway (First Street) will be blocked off past the entrance to the Township Building. About 300 students have volunteered to work at the Concert, but a few more are still needed for Clean-up and Traffic Control. Anyone interested can leave their name, address and phone number in the Student Activities Office. As in the past, McDonalds will have a concession stand set up for anyone with the munchies. The Head Shop tent will be located by the side of the stage. If anyone encounters any problems they can go there, or just look for someone wearing a Good People Productions '77 shirt. Marchini also said that he would like to thank Dr. South, Roberta McLeod, Chief Paul, and the Maintenance and Public Information Departments for their help. Finally, he said that everyone should invite a few friends up for the weekend and have a great time. Reader Staff Travels To U.P. By Wm.

"Let There Be Darkness" By Young haying When mama says "let it be," you can bet it will be: Who can disobey or talk back to her? At 9:11 p.m. last Sunday, Mother Nature swung her pointed finger of command towards Meade Heights. She spoke: "Let there be darkness" and there was darkness. The breath from her command and the waves from her swinging hand combined to create winds over 50 mph that rushed through the Heights, tore down tree branches that cut through power lines along Weaver Avenue, and plunged all of Meade Heights into utter darkness. Heat went with light, making an already cold evening much colder. Naturally, some kids attempted to flout mom's commands. As usual, they : 4.4*: 5910=1 ran out of luck. The R.A.'s had no candles, and all neighborhood stores had run out of stock by the time most kids got there. Her other kids from the Maintenance Department and the Pennsylvania Power & Light Company defied her orders and restored light around midnight. Apparently angered by this, mom came back at 6:10 Monday morning and repeated the command. Again, there was darkness. As usual, clocks stopped, but this time it caused many students to sleep through their first and second period classes. Before noon on Monday, mom was satisfied that she had sufficiently established her maternal authority, so she dropped her hand, and there was light.

The Reader was considered to be the best at photography and the idea of a "Perspectives Page" went over quite well, warranting a first place for the best editorial page. A runner-up best layout design was also awarded to the Reader.
