• 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

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.

THE NIT TANT• CUB
the vocal work but it sounds
More like Marty' Balin to me.
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

We are obscene, lawless, hideous,

Snow Removal At
Beautiful Behrend
On Saturday morning, the Folks at Behrend awoke
to find six inches of snow on the ground. Immediately
that morning, the custodians of the Campus 'arrived with
various assortment of shovels, snow blowers, arid "other
impliments destruction" and began to remove the snow
from the critelill path of Behrend—thewalkway from Per
ry Hall to t'. _e Reed Building, neglecting those staircases
on the w,:ikv,-ay, and the walkway from Perry to Niagara
Hall. Saturday, more snow fell, and-this was not
cleaned fi-oni anywhere. The walk from Perry to Niagara
was alr - c.st impassable because of the. ice: and snow. that
was pac.:7c , cl there. Quite a number of people fell on the
way to pif-k up their dates, and as a result there were
many iieeple out on Saturday night with wet and/or sore
asses. •
One member of the faculty said that Monday morn
ing slip could hardly drive into the campus because the
drive was So icy and she too almost fell coming into the
Reed Building from the ice that was outside the door.
One would think that it. would not be too much trouble
to remove the snow and ice from the walkways and roads
of
. Behrend by spreading salt on them. Salt is not overly
expeasive and it sure would prevent a lot of accidents.
On Monday the sun came Out and no longer did the
peeple at Behrend have to slip and slide on the ice. The
sun melted all the ice so now the people have only the
eight inches of water on the sidewalks to wade through.
