Spring Week contest
results are corrected
Spring Week Chairman Paula
Fedorka announced last night revisions
have been made in the Spring Week
standings.
Alpha Chi Sigma fraternity and Phi
Mu sorority were third place winners in
the chariot race; Sigma Alpha Epsilon
fraternity and Delta Delta Delta sorority
have been awarded first place in the skit
competition.
Fedorka said these changes had no
effect on the overall standings, and the
errors were mathematical. Trophies for
these events were given to the Spring
Week chairmen for the individual
sororities in the final Panhellenic
Council meeting of the term.
Calling Spring Week 1979 "the most
successful in five years," Fedorka urged

Grateful Dead to liven Rec Hall
By PATRICK KIGER
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
At about this time eight months
ago, the Grateful Dead were touring
Egypt, doing the first gigs ever done
by an American rock band in that
ancient nation. Along the way, they
made a stop at Giza, where on the
night of a lunar eclipse they did a
concert in front of the Great
Pyramid.
And Bob Weir, who plays rhythm
guitar and does some of the vocals for
the Dead, recently told a Cleveland
newspaper reporter that he has even
more ambitious journeys in mind.
"What I would really like to do
sometimes is a recording safari
around the world," he said. "Record
native songs. I'd mostly go to
Africa. . . ."
Thus, in view of the Dead's ap
parent penchant for journeys to
unusual places, no one really should
have been surprised when it was
officially announced last week that
the rumors were true and that the
legendary supergroup would indeed
be appearing at 8 tonight in Rec Hall.
After all, the land of Eddy Eddy, the
Phi Psi, and tuition hikes may be the
only bizarre destination left for them.
However, what may surprise and
perhaps perplex the local hardcore
Dead freaks especially the ones in
the garland-and-skull t-shirts who
camped out in front of the HUB last
Monday night to be assured of getting
seats to the sold-out performance
is that their favorite band's sound is,
well, changing a bit.
The difference in the Dead is
readily apparent on their most recent
release, last fall's "ShakedoVin

Street" (Arista). The album, which
was produced by Lowell George of
Little Feat fame, includes several
cuts on which the Dead stray from
their characteristic amalgam of
country-blues-rock 'n' roll, towards a
sound which is lighter, tighter, a lot
jazzier and if it dare be inferred of
these sixties counterculture heroes
a little more commercial. The most
glaring example is the•title track, in
which lead guitarist Jerry Garcia
wraps a few of his unconventional
riffs around. some urban-flavored
lyrics ("Nothing's shakin on
Shakedown Street/used to be the
heart of town. . . .") and a beat which
is decidedly discoish.
Of course Weir, who did the lead
vocals on "Sugar Magnolia," "One
More Saturday Night" and many of
the other songs which made the Dead
symbolic of virtuoso laid-backedness
in the early seventies, has
categorically denied the changes are
the result of any overt action on the
part of the band.
"If the album is more accessible
than anything we've done in the
past," he told the Philadelphia
Inquirer a short time ago, "it's not
through any conscious effort on our
part. We were limited in the time we
had to put it together, with the trip to
Egypt coming up" the album was
recorded last summer in San
Francisco "so we decided not to
overly'complicate things, to put a lot
of stuff on the record. We wanted to
make it as simple as possible."
Weir, however, did admit that the
Dead are indeed moving in a different
direction. "To my ears, at least, I
don't think we can be labelled any one
thing country rock or blues rock or
jazz rock," he said.
And even "Shakedown Street" may
not give an accurate indication of how
the Dead will sound tonight, due to a
shift in personnel since the album's
release last October. Keyboardist
