'Just what am
TO THE EDITOR: lam a very confused and unhappy June 1971
graduate of that so-called "modern" College of Human
Development. Here it is, two years later, and I am still trying to
find a job in a "related" field.
But what is related to "Consumer Related Services with an
Option in Interior Furnishings?" It's hard enough trying to
squeeze all that on the employmeni card record let alone trying
to explain what it is!
Truthfully, I don’t know. All I can tell my befuddled per
sonnel adviser is that I was caught in the midst of a coup d’etat
by Dean Donald Ford and that I am really prepared for nothing.
Supposedly, I am a consumer major whatever that is
yet I am only qualified by four credits. All I can remember of
these courses is a coerced, written interview with “the person
you'd least like to be stuck in an elevator with.”
Supposedly, I also have 43 credits in an option called “In
terior Furnishings." However, my adviser and I finagled this
great feat by calling Hort. 52, Ag. Eng. and Land. Arch,
"design courses." All real drafting courses and instructors
were swept under the tide of "reconstruction and progress”
into the ocean of the past. Just when I was getting into design,
the chair was pulled out from under me and my fellow victims.
In essence, I think the world and I are entitled to an ex
planation of "Consumer Related Services.” What is it I am
capable of doing? I don’t feel confident enough to compete
with a Parsons graduate for a design job nor do I even feel
remotely related to Ralph Nader. Just what am I? Someone had
better inform me and then, daresay, inform the public that I am
here! Kathleen Morris

But we won
TO THE EDITOR: I’m writing to air a complaint, not against the
University, but against something that has occurred within the
State College community.
Like many other people within the community, my husband

Thanks to everyone connected
with last weekend’s Folk Festival;
it looks like we will have campus
concerts for a long time.
The performers aren't the only
ones who deserve applause. The
Artist Series, Folklore Society,
University Concert Committee and
Campus Security worked together
to put on a good show.
They planned it well. The
performers arrived early for
workshops, a welcome change
from fogbound planes and a
hostile crowd outside Rec Hall.
Another potential bottleneck was
avoided when several people
collected tickets after the doors
opened.
Instead of antagonizing
smokers, festival workers wearing
to the Editor
They proved it when the festival
workers had the sorry task of
telling the audience that Arlo
Guthrie could not come! There
was silence, no booing.
The Penn State audience is
there well-behaved, willing to
obey the rules and enjoy the
music. Noting that, the Artist
Series, Folklore Society and
University Concert Committee
should redouble their efforts to
bring more groups on campus.
and I were called this past week by the Jay Cee's Magic
Question Program, and since we felt we could take advantage
of the services offered, we purchased the book of tickets for
$19.95.
Upon looking through the book, we were happily surprised
to find 15 tickets to The Movies, located on the corner of
Garner and Beaver. These 15 tickets were comprised of five
sets of three tickets each, each set good only for one month,
running from April through August.
The only stipulations, as printed on each ticket, were that
these tickets are "not good on road shows” and that only “one
ticket per visit per group” was allowed. In order for us to take
advantage of these tickets, with this latter stipulation, we
would have to see three movies each month, with one of us
paying for another ticket with each visit.
The first three days of April a Walt Disney film which we did
not care to see was featured at this theater. Imagine our
surprise when we saw that The Movies was presenting a movie
we wished to see, but at the bottom of the newspaper ad
vertisements was printed “Sorry, no passes."
My husband called the theater and found that this movie is
to be shown for two weeks and that there will probably not be
enough movies shown this month at this theater for us or
anyone in our situation to take advantage of these tickets.
In my opinion, this shows rather poor planning on the part of
the movie theater. This situation is indeed a farce, and I believe
The Movies should stand behind the passes their poor plan
ning issued!

Steeleye Span: electrified folk
By REGINA ANDRIOLO
of the Collegian staff
Old English folk music? Hardly the
most 'rousing or intriguing stuff around,
right? Wrong. When a group called
Steeleye Span takes over the stage with
interpretations of traditional English
ballads and chants, the whole concept of
showmanship, talent and crowd
pleasing boils down into one heck of a
fantastic show.Steeleye Span’s Friday
night performance at Rec Hall proved to
be a highlight of this weekend’s two-day
folk festival.
The multi-talented British group of
four guys and a girl has a stage presence
and polished act that makes great
listening and looking. They have suc
cessfully combined the sound of old
English folk tunes with a modern rock
undercurrent through the use of elec
trified mandolins, autoharps, violins and
guitars.
<'7£CHMOW6Y P S F/NE £&>£> BUT I WSTSCKr OF MtSL
PAYS UJH6N 7FERF UP&NT AN ENFRSY CR/3YS>
Maddy Proir, the group's female
vocalist, joyfully puts across both baudy
pub songs and love ballads while
whirling around the stage in traditional
dance steps. Peter Knight is the flashy
violinist whose somersaults and other
antics don’t get in the way of some really
spectacular playing. Tim Hart provides
great vocals and plays assorted in
struments, including a good pair of
spoons. Rick Kemp and Bob Johnson
create a backup on amplified guitars
which culminates the undeniable sound
of Steeleye Span.
So many times, concert goers pay
good money only to see a group stand in
one spot, play their top 40 numbers and
tune their instruments between each
song. This is where Steeleye Span is so
distinctive. Each of the performers is not
only extremely talented but knows the
secret of good showmanship. They are
forever moving, changing, exploring and
obviously enjoying every minute of it.
