sound by jean Yeselski, Lee Michaels For anyone who follows the works of Lee Michiels, "sth" is a welcome composition. Lee Michaels' very distinctive vocal and instrumental styles are out in full force in this album. I have a fond place in my heart for the "Barrel" album but the "sth" is slowly giving it a run for its money. There are a few selections on the album which take a stroll down memory lane. But you'll have to listen hard because Lee has a way of. reproducing oldies to sound like something entirely different. "Willie and the Hand Jive" and "Ya-Ya" are two of the more familiar melodies but "I Don't Want Her" may take a little ear straining to recognize. The rest of the album is pure Michaels. His style comes through the best in the now popular "Do You Know What I Mean? ". The local radio stations are now promoting this particular song with quite a bit of enthusiasm. After listening to any of Lee Michaels' works, it may be a bit difficult to sit still. His recordings all have a definite sense of movement about them. One can't help but get nvolved. "Can I Get a itness" has a bit more of John 6Pt COAL GUEST Crazy Horse ALL-U DAY Nov. 13 8 p.m. Give a Book for Christmas City Book Store 31 n. laurel street, hazleton, pa. 18201 phone 455-0541 ~,~ Need a 2am book break?

"Oak Fire" may slow down in tempo, but the movement still persists. The strong force of the drums and piano keep you moving and carries you along. "Keep the Circle Turning" and "You Are What You Do" perhaps offer the best messages in the album, while "Didn't Have to Happen" is perhaps the most thought provoking. This song speaks of things being gone and leaving nothing. The effects are very real and you can almost feel the nothingness. "Rock Me Baby" brings the atmosphere back to earth with an earthy, brawling, good ol' bit of rock 'n roll. Lee Michaels has a lot to say and a special way to say it. Do You Know What I Mean?.

It was Big-Name Weekend (Oct. 9-10) at Muhlenberg College in Allentown and Memorial HA was the scene of the crime. Would you believe that I'm still high--naturally "Ugh—from listening to Seatrain? sth The concert began at 8:00 P.M. with a 3-piece group called Mouzistic, or something like that. For a "psych-up" group, I guess they were listenable. They had a very good drummer, at any rate. Then, Seatrain!! I had seen them once before, at University Park last spring. I was also familiar with their music from listening to their first album "Seatrain." Obviously, a few others at the concert were,too, although most of the people came to see Poco. Seatrain's first song was 13 Questions--fabulous! Their other selections throughout the concert--the ones I remember, anyway--were Song of Job, Oh, My Love, Sally Goodin, Gramercy, Home to You, How Sweet Thy Song, Out Where the Hills, Orange Blossom Special, and, unless my memory is playing tricks on me (since I was unfamiliar with the songs from their new album,"Marblehead Messenger"), The State of Georgia's Mind.

At this point, Job being left with nothing, his friends accusing him of disobeying God, everything ETZ'S For Men and Boys 25 WEST BROAD ST. SPORTSWEAR BROAD AT WYOIAING FLOPPY HATS should describe. Seatrain's music. PSHEW! It's the kind of sound that you can't sit still to. It's real music. It doesn't jump out and force you to listen, but you listen anyway because it's so different. As you're listening, you become amazed at each musician's particular talent, such as Richard Green, who plays a fabulous violin or Andy Kulberg who. is equally fantastic on bass or flute. The music can't be described as rock, though the rock beat prevails through much of it; it can't be described as folk, though the lyrics often fit; it can't be described as country western, though it sometimes is reminiscent of a square dance. Listening to Seatrain is an experience very different from anything else. The sound is contagious and happy. In concert, they're physically exhausting. PSHEW! I have to mention Seatrain's performance of "Song of Job." It wasn't a mere musical performance, but a dramatic performance as well. Maybe I should say experience. Peter Rowan .did the vocals, a narrative of the story of Job--the Old Testament, remember? Job's faith has been tested by having all his property taken from him (Job was a very affluent man). LONDON LOOK Hat - Top - Skirt $ 12 $4 $5 , "2 hours stopped. One gold spot focused on Peter Rowan, down on his knees, physically expressing the anguish and sorrow that Job must have felt. It really was an experience. After "Song of Job," the crowd was sold on Seatrain. 'One thing about Seatrain's music is that not only do you become individually involved, but when you look around and see others as "into" the sound as you are, it gives a feeling of group cohesiveness. Everyone in Memorial Hall experienced `Seatrain, and it was a total experience, not merely on an individial level. We wouldn't let them go. They were physically exhausted (and so were we) but they came back and did two songs. They ended with "Orange Blossom Special." Wow! Two things about the concert that I would have changed: the seats and the order of performers. I would have made it a dance concert--those damned chairs! I also would have scheduled Poco before Seatrain. Poco had a hard act to follow and everyone knew- it. They just didn't make it. I would have liked to hear Poco, but after Seatrain it's difficult to listen to anything else. I'll give them credit: they did try awfully, hard. After the feeling that Seatrain gave everyone, Poco was a downer. They erased the mood. It was really unfair to Poco. I felt sorry for them. How to sum up the Seatrain concert? Two hours of ;, musical ecstasy--a feeling that makes you glad to be alive! Sorority shorts Along with the arrival of fall came a rush of Sorority activities. On Sept. 29, approximately 40 to 50 girls were inducted into the group in the traditional ceremony. They were led by Aheir sophomore sisters and afterwards a social hour was had. But this was only the beginning for there are all sorts of events to look forward to. On Nov. 4 there will be a karate demonstration put on by the Hazleton Karate Club. Admission is only 25 cents for an entertaining experience. And of course there is the hayride on Nov. 6 at 7:00 p.m. Remember to get your money in by Nov. 5. Also watch for future stationery sales.

The group is Stavin Chain from Philadelphia, and they were playing the Warm-Up Lounge in Hazleton. I was familiar with the group--as I had seen them twice in Philadelphia, once with the 'Airplane at the Palestra and then again at the Electric Factory with Phil Ochs--and was eager to see them a third time at the Warm-Up. To my surprize, the group had made some drastic changes. There were no, longer ten members in the band. They decided to break it up about a year ago. They rid themselves of a four-man horn section, their lead vocalist, and various and sundry other members. Now the group is a four-man band with Danny Starobin the only member left from the original "Sweet Stavin Chain." There might be a meager number in the new group, but the sounds they produce are really something else. Unfortunately, they were not appreciated by those strictly "Top 40" Hazletonians. I talked with the group during their breaks and they were quite amazed at the crowd's attitude. I assured them that they were their usual unreceptive selves and not to judge their playing by the audience response. But the group still commented, "Boy, we could sure use a smoke after this place." Instead of that, I invited them to my abode for a quick rest stop before they ventured back to Philadelphia. They never had their smoke, but Hawaiian Punch and popcorn were great substitutes. Enough about the strangies in Hazleton! Back to the purpose of this: LOCKHEED continued from page one Dr. Cheit, during a discussion period following the panel talks, commented that the financial problems faced by higher education were due more to its successes than to its, failures. "It is very important," he concluded, "that a president ask himself what place history holds for men who in hard times made as their highest aspiration balancing the books." HIGHACRES COLLEGIAN, NOVEMBER 1, 1971 Danny Starobin plays lead and acoustic like there was no tomorrow. Then there's Bob, the lead vocal and guitarist, Huey on bass, and Steve on drums. They've only been together three weeks, but they're really getting it together fast. They want to get away from Sweet Stavin Chain's famous or infamous "Teddy Bear's Picnic" image. They are leaning towards country and blues. This is where Danny's talent on acoustic comes in. Bob brought his fiddle for one of ...their country tunes Saturday night but darest try it out on the crowd (who were requesting all the "groovy greats.") As far as the vocals go, all the voices are great, especially Bob and Danny, who are two really good blues-wailers. In the near future the group will be doing the Philadelphia circuit but are making plans for some gigs outside that area and then maybe heading out to the coast. More than likely they'll be cutting an album when the time is right. Watch for them and if you get the cahnce, catch their show because they are truly worth it. The name to look and listen for is STAVIN CHAIN!!! Leßoy! PAGE THREE "West Side Story" opens' at Bucks The contemporary classic "West Side Story" will play for six weeks at New Hope's Bucks County Playhouse. It opens Friday, October 22 at 8:30 P.M. and plays through November 27. "West Side Story", a dance drama by Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim, Jerome Robbins and Arthur Laurents derived from Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet". Taking the plot of unreasoned prejudice overcome by love, they fashioned a play set in New York's lower West Side with rival youth gangs replacing the feuding families, the Montagues and Capulets, in "Romeo and Juliet" 1957 audiences reacted violently to this totally new musical. Not the traditional happy ending play that then characterized Broadway, Walter Kerr said of it:"The radioactive fallout film `West Side Story' must still be descending on Broadway this morning." Today's audiences are no longer shocked by "West Side Story", but that it is relevant in an age of stormy racial disputes, in an age of young people strining to let love overcome hate, is indisputable. Paul Barry, artistic directorfproducer of the New Jersey Shakespeare Festival will direct the Bucks County Theatre Company's production. Marcia King and Norman Begin will play the leading roles. Supporting leads are Dennis Edenfield, Terry Eno and Connie Denise. Others in the cast include Robert Coucill, Dennis M. Fitzpatrick, William Simington, Sam Barton, and Wesley Eure. "West. Side Story" plays daily at 10:30 A.M., each Friday and Saturday at 8:30 P.M. with some Saturday matinees and weeknights at 7:30 P.M. performances.
