KINGSMEN AND CASTAWAYS SING AT EDINBORO Last Sunday night Edinboro College presented a "Cavalcade of Stars" at Our Lady of the Lake Hall, with WJET disk jockey, Randy Michaels as emcee. The Castaways and the Kingsmen, both popular singing groups, performed at 6:oo and 8:00. The Castaways began the show by double-dealing the Kingsmen and sing ing all their hits. "Bey," interrupted one of the Kingsmen, "why don't you sing 'Louie, Louie'? You might as well, you've stolen all the rest of our stuff." A greasy, curly-headed Castaway countered, "7ell you can sing our hit 'Liar, Liar, Your Pants Are on Fire'." "Who'd want to?" sneered the Kings- men. The Kingsmen began to entertain, and featured an intoxicated drummer. Fans almost lost the happy drummer as he began dancing on the rim of a basketball net, nearly falling twice. The audience had almost as good a time as the singers. The crowd wound up the evening with dancing.
