Noviinber 21; *1969 '-ithet: . 'i:Ycti:u.: - .Knovilt.Aiii'f. Ea*y!':, by Gary Thornbloom • Months - of waiting due to the hassels of RCA executives over the. use of the line, "llp against the wall motherf*cker," and the verse, "Redwoods talk to me, Say it plainly the human name doesn't mean shit to a tree," have at long last been rewarded by another superb album by the Jef ferson Airplane. "Volunteers," while it is now abailable in stores, may be in for more troubles be cause of the appearance of a cracked American flag in the background of the cover photo. "Bless Its Pointed Little Head" was the Airplane alive. "Volun teers" is a new Airplane sound perhaps just touching in parts on the original San Francisco sound. Nicky Hopkins helps out on piano throughout many of the tracks. Steven Stills and Dav id Crosby lend a hand in the Airplanes arrangement of "Wood en Ships." The liner has an in troduction written to "Wooden Ships" which while being tragic shows a beautiful finish. The harmony singing in this song is Ghost of Behrend Haunts the Campus From the library comes this story: night janitor, Cliff Ives, and night janitress, Fannie Palmer, were working in the library one night, when all of a sudden books started fallire, from the shelves and a desk drawer was drawn completely out. The pair, which maintain a complete agnostic view of the spirit world, said that they are at a complete loss for an explanation of the occurrence and tried to blame it on sonic boom. The event was definitely not stag ed by pranksters because it happened in the late night hours after the library has been closed for quite a while. Maybe the two will believe in the powers of the occult when they read this story which is still told in England: On Sunday, September 20, 1953, an evangelical meeting was held in the Yorkshire Museum in Museum Street, York, England. On duty at the place were George Leonard Jonas, caretaker of the museum, and his wife who, after the meeting was over, locked up the building and proceeded to the kitchen, in the basement. From there they • both heard footsteps in_ ,the T Museum above them, so Mr. Jonas went up stairs to investigate. When he got upstairs, he saw an elderly gentleman, dressed in a frock coat, wearing drain pipe trousers and sporting fluffy side whisk ers. When 'George•__ T asked the stranger's name and his business, he did not answer but shuffled past the bewildered Jonas, and began to do down the stairs to the library, muttering to 11* m self: "I must find it; I must find it." In the library, the man standing between two tall book racks was piffling books from the shelves, anxiously trying to find something. When Mr. Jonas Put his hand forth to touch him on the shoulder, the man diSap peared and the book he had been holding dropped onto the floor. After several unsuccessful night vigils for the purpose of seeing the ghost perhaps one more time, Mr. Jonas solicited the help of a friend, - 'Walter French, as 'an ap= prentice watcher. On the night of November 15, in the library, as they walked among the book racks, they both heard pages 'of a book being turned. Then they both heard a thud, and when they reached the center aisle they discovred. the" book . 'for. which the ghost eagerly 'Ought, lying on the floor; its pages were still iri motion. This time the ghoit - not visibie. - really beautiful. The version here is as good as, if not better than, the Crosby, Stills and Nash ver sion. Instrumentally the song is equal in quality to the singing "Eskimo Blue Day" written by Grace Slick is another of the best cuts on the album. The lyr ics seem to be typical of where Grace's head has been in recent songs she's written. Grace also sings lead vocal on this track Casady comes through with some good bass background and con trols the dynamics of the song. Piano on this track is played by Slick and is mixed in effectively with the othter instruments. "The Parm" and "A Song for all Seasons" are very distinctively country and western. While not being particularly fond of coun try and western music, both tracks are pleasant to listen to. Spencer wrote the words for "A Song for All Seasons" and it sounds as though he's talking about some of the Airplane's in ternal difficulties. "Turn My Life Down" in the liner notes, gives the Ace of Cups credit for The pattern for the ghostly visitations appeared to be every forth Sunday at the same time. So on the night of December 13 a doctor, lawyer and several oth er persons scattered themselves throughout the library to wait for the ghost. They thoroughly examined the book shelves and aicertained that they were' not rigged in any way for a trick. Among the assembled seven was James Lawrence Jonas, George's older brother, who had scoffed at his brother and said he feared George was going daft. But it was on this , occasion that James saw the book in actual flight. He said it seemed to come out its full width from the shelf before it started to fall. As he saw the book move he called out and everyone rushed to the spot to find the book lying on. the floor, its pages turning. The doc tor used a. flashlight to examine the shelf and found no wires or anything. He admitted that, just before the book moved, his legs, from the knees to his feet, siid denly had felt unusually cold, and that immediately after 'the book fell his legs returned to. normal. Without a doubt, the book was taken from the shelf by something that was not of this world. It would seem to the that this story is extremely similar to ,the one related to me by the two'ped ple who were visited in the Behrend library. - ART'S , AUTONOTIVR : SERN7O...

Whoever sings it does a good job, Jorma puts down a. few fine naffs and Steve Stills playing organ adds little to the song. "Good Shepherd" arranged by Jorma and "Meadowlands" arranged by Slick and Kanter are two tradi tional songs. Jorma provides good lead work and Paul lays down a fine rhythm sound in "Good Shepherd." Grace plays organ beautifully in "Meadow lands" and is accompanied by some mumbling in the back ground which says Jack Casady is dead if you play it sideways. "Hey Fredrick!" the other Slick composition features Grace again singing lead and she shows why she's the best female vocalist to day. The song is spoiled by a badly fuzzed beginning and a small part in the middle. The ending evolves into a mass of noise but amidst the junk a few good parts manage to come out. The predominate lead isn't real good whereas the supporting lead which sounds good is buried. Grace's vocal saves this track. "Volunteers", which is the title song, features rather banal lyrics and conveys a feeling of not be ing together. It's a song which Announcing! /Classified Want Ads In The Nitiany CUB If you are looking for a ride home, selling books, buying skis, or have any thing that you want to buy, or sell, or trade, ad vertise in the CUB.
