FREE FOLK
CONCERT
We, the new youth, have cried out for a new
music that reflects the ambitions and the
emotions of our THINKING generation. It is
for this reason, then, that we have turned
the creation of music and lyrics to the cap
able hands of the poets. Muscians, such as
Bob Dylan and Simon and Garfunkle, have ac
cepted the challange that we have issued,
and have begun a movement called FOLK-ROCK.
All over the United States the Rock n' Roll
combo is being replaced by folk guitars and
melodious voices. Lyrics are becoming more
meaningful as colleges turn from violence
and distruction to soft - meditative thinking
and music. Peaceful demonstrations (or in
subtler terms), peaceful venting of young
emotions has not happened over night. The
movement has taken progressive steps during
the past several years....lT has finally
come to Behrend.
On Sunday (May 19th) Behrend is hosting a
free folk concert featuring The Pier proup,
and Stan Shepherd.
The Pier Group, which contains within its
ranks two Behrend students, will begin the
show at 2:oopm. They will sing their col
lection of folk rock tunes which were made
famous by Peter, Paul and Mary and Joan Baez.
Shepherd, who is a native of Jamaica, will
climax the program when he sings his re
pertoir of American and Jamaican folk clas
sics
The afternoon of folk rock will be held on
the lawn between Turnbull and Erie Halls on
Sunday May 19th from 2:00 to 4:00 pm.
This concert marks the beginning of the end
of a year filled with social activities.
And, as a thank-you to the Cultural Com
mittee, under the most able chairman-ship of
Mr. Phillip Mercorelia, it would be a won
derful gesture if we were to have a large
Observe the musical impact of our generation.
Malce plans to attend this free concert with
The Pier Group and Stan Shepherd.
POLYNESIAN
The Southwest tradewinds will soon blow upon the
aging timbers of Erie Hall. On June 1, 1968 the
Behrend Campus Student Government Association
will sponsor "Isle of Memories". For the small
price of $5.00 you will be transported from the
dull mundane surroundings of Erie to a sparkling
island just south of Paradise. From the jungle
village along the walls to the Barefoot Bar, where
Hawaiian treats will be served, the exquisite
beauty of the South Seas will pervade the hall.
Music for the prom will be provided by the
Chuck Dressler Orchestra. Another treat will be
provided when, during intermission, the crowd
will be entertained by the Gaylords, a contemporary
rythm and blues group. The evening will provide
music to suit everybody's taste.
The election of the Prom Queen will be different
from that of previous years. This year a ballot
box will be set up at the S.G.A. desk in the RUB
Girls nominated are to be deserving of the honor
of being Prom Queen, that is having contributed
something to the Behrend Campus and the student
body.
Tickets can be purchased from any S.G.A. member
or at the door. Students who buy advance tickets
will recieve a fine souvenir.
This will be one of the most gala social event
of the year. Everyone should attend; it will be
a fitting close to the school year.
Well Done
The Nittany Cub extends a muched deserved "well
done"" to the committees involved in these two
important social events. The opinion here is
that the work you've §nt into making these
functions suceessful will not go unrewarded. The
students will turn out for some of the best
entertainment of the social year. Special
thanks to Phil Mercorella, chairman of the
Cultural Committee, and Mary Ann Beichner,
chairman of the Prom Counittee.
