October 29, 1970 IF YOU WOULD JUST TAKE THE TIME TO Van Morrison is Irish, and manages to come on like a sip of good Irish Whiskey, smooth and easy. Morrison is one of the most comfortable singers around, he has changed a bit from the days when he sang lead for Them, sounding like a street urchin after three days of Speed, barely managing to get his words out, creating an all over mood' of eful despair, things might get better, besides, as he himself said back then: Tell you about my baby, you know she comes around, She’s about five feet four, from her head to the ground. She comes up to MY room, comes knocking on MY door. And she makes me feel all RIGHT! G-L-O-R-I-A, Gloria The eternal sweaWhog boys, delivered to you in Morrison’s voice with a brogue and phrasing as remindful of of Joyce and Yeats as it was of Leadbelly and Muddy Waters. When Them broke up Van went on to record Brown Eyed Girl, which changed all that hopeful despair to rambling nostalgia .. . but the big change was his voice, he still sounded like an urchin, and he still slurred and drawled but somehow it all fit, and instead of sounding like he was ready to die, he sounded like he was singing from an easy chair. Last year he recorded his first album for Warner Brothers, Astral Weeks, and while I have never heard it, I understand it made him a cult hero on the west coast. Cult heroes, of course, have only their fans to keep them warm, so Van has put out another album and Warners has given it a better distribution and some good promotion (in New York every record shop was sent huge pic- Sampthrace Club Invites All Women Samothrace Club will hold its first meeting of the year on Thursday, November 5, at eight in the Memorial Room of the Main Building.

By Charles P, Eschweiler tures of Van to put in their win dows). The album is MOONDANCE, and it’s going to end up a suc cessful album. Two songs from it have already been covered by other musicians, and Van himself lifted Come Running, which was a small hit, off of it. Trying to give MOONDANCE a straight definition is impossible, it’s more or less Van Morrison’s private photograph album in sound, with each song crystalizing one particular moment in his life.- At any rate it’s so understated it’s difficult to really go into. I know I have had the disc since May and up until a week ago I couldn’t really see where the meaning was, then one day I put it on the stereo just for the hell of it, and found that it had wrapped itself around my brain. The mention of any separate song as a standout would be rather pointless since MOON DANCE isn’t the kind of album that aims for standout songs, the mere fact Van music is as near perfect a combination of the right sounds with the right words as can be achieved should be enough to recommend it to anyone looking for a musical experience a bit different than your run of the mill “progressive rock folkblues” album.

OSWALD University Park for mencement He did however, fail to take a direct stand on either Z-13 (visitation) or P-25 (drop-action), only because he was not com pletely aware of either situation, However, he did promise to look into the problems. The question was also raised concerning the lack of a 50-50 man-woman ratio in admittance to Penn State. The answer being that the University accepts more males to ensure male-oriented colleges such as engineering and agriculture their quota of students. He also spoke of the disad vantages and drawbacks of changing University schedules to allow for a week- or so of school holiday for political cam paigning. He mentioned that although it is an admirable idea, the necessity is not present because only a small percentage of the students would use the holiday for political activity. Rather, he suggested that the students interested in such ac tivities should either take the term off, or arrange their schedule with such a leeway in mind. - - HEfu/EMCI GCM&i J THE NITTANYCUB TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, winner of three Academy Awards, is the Student Union Board’s movie of the week.

The Steering Committee has chosen the theme, “Union Programming - Creative and Responsive.”. The bulk of the conference will be devoted to relevant “nuts & bolts” workshops in the areas of publicity, student-produced films, low-budget programming, outdoor recreation, booking “big name” attractions, as well as other facets of student programming on the college and university campus. Other seminars will examine campus policies regarding drugs, drinking, and demonstrations. Mr. Zimmerman will be con ducting a workshop on “Programming & Publicizing for Commuting Students.” Bob Luther will be a member of the panel along with a student from Towsib State College (Towson MD.) and Community College of Allegheny County, South Campus (McKeesport, Pa.). Zimmerman will also be participating in a general session on “Com munication, Creativity, Com munity, and Committee Programming” as well as reporting on his duties of Regional Coordinator for Publicity on Public Relations at the Banquet on Monday evening, November 2. Mr. C. Shaw Smith, Director of the College Union, Davidson College, Davidson, North Carolina, will have the Keynote Speech at the opening banquet on Sunday, November 1, 1970. The conference will conclude with an address by Mr. Willean Baird, Director and Founder of the New York Parent Aid Society. His topic will be “Legalization of Abortion.” When deciding the conference theme, the Steering Committee questioned the relevancy of many standard campus programs to today’s college students. With the present emphasis on in dividuality, and “doing your own thing”, is planned programming necessary or can creativity and imagination provide inpetus for unstructured activity? Ap proximately 300 college students representing 60 area colleges and universities will ponder this question.

The discussion of “old business”, once again covered the con troversial Senate rule P-25 (drop action). The association decided to confront the O.S.G.A. regional conference with the problem and also, introduced suggested proposals for revision (see article on O.S.G.A. regional). “New business” included the election of several represen tatives to serve in specific capacities. Lana Watkins was elected to serve as representative to the Student Union Board; Rich Schwartz was elected to serve on the Committee of Student Affairs, as the third representative along with President Dave Carr and Doug Brower; and Linda Juliano was also elected to serve as head secretary, assisted by secretaries Linda Shorey and Georgette McGinty.
