This Monday, April 29, we Will bedeciding If we are content with the wayR.U.S. has been operating in this past year.These election are not a popularity contest. This election will determine if we a reto continue in the tame apathetic muneras we have been for the fast three years.When voting, wemust consider th e optionsopen t o u s . Consider th e following. Did vonenjoy the Spring Concert this year? Howabout the wring Concerts held in the lasttwo years? Remember th e strong positionsR.U.S. took this year? Do you remembera n y positions R.U.S. took this year? D o youeven remember any positions R.U.S. tookthis year? Do you remember what R.UiJ.is?p . H ow many times did yo u walk Into Zurnand tee the R.U.S. office door open? Howmany times did your ward representativemake reports in any classes thfs veer?Who wereyour ward representatives?;

For thelast three years, R.U.S. has beena classic example of a student body thathas given up any a n d all hope of becomingan organization of student action. Therepresentatives h ave been there, willing torepresent us, but the R.U.S. officers havebeen consistently letting down therepresentatives and'the whole studentbody. They have done this by allowingR.U.S. to bicker over counUesa numbers oftrite subjects, while the major ones passedon unnoticed. It's about time R.U.S. has anadministration with enough vision to beable to see what it i t supposed to be, andthen become it . _|

ROBIN'SIBACKby Larry PiltzRobin Williams has to be one ofthe most talented and genuineentertainers to ever appear on theCoffeehouse Circuit here, f *One goes into ar coffeehouseperformance prepared lo enjoysome good solid folksinging and alittle light monologue. Weil, thisis a gross understatement of whatactually takes place when RobinWilliams com es to the stage.I Williams stands^onHhe stageawaiting his introduction in a pairof proverbial blue jeans and thetraditional work v shirt and hislight brown hair pulled behind hisears. After the applause for hisintroduction, he mu tters a hushed

"thank you" and then stuns theaudience with his perfectlycontrolled voice accompanied byhis Martin guitar andfajhar-moniraf | $ *&H IS VOICE can sound like GlenCampbell's on some songs, whilesounding like Steve Stills' onothers. His voice can belt out ahard-driving country song lonesecond, while the next second itcan be as soft and tender as anylove ballad requires. Buteverything ^Williams ssings is inhis original, impressive andnatural style. K? *Probably the most outstandingaspect of Robin Williams1 performance and entertaining ingeneral is his personality. He isextremely effervescent and hisexuberance bubbles out into hiscaptured audience in the form ofh is moving music and down-homecharm an d humor. 3 i| WILLIAMS HAS retained hispersonalness, learned as a boy inSouth Carolina, and uses it effectively to | establish a verywarm rapport with his audience.From th e very moment h e openedhis mouth on stage, each andevery member of the audienceknew he could strike up a conversation with him at any timeduring th e performance.His humor, evidenced in manyhilarious stories* and his"audience precipitation" song,played a major role in winningover the audience. Near the endof h is second show, he lapsed intoa nostalgic view of the "rock 'nroll era of the late 1950s andearly 1960s. This segment, consisting of such numbers as "WhoPut the Bop in the Bop she Bop"

and "Teen Angel"Revoked true,rib-shaking I laughter from theaudience. >MANY TIMES in the midst ofsome J of his humorous stories,Williams would be carried awayto .some distant tangent, leavingthe audience 5momentarilyponderous a s to the location of thesinger's mind. Just asj the anticipation of the story's end isabout to become too great, hecleverly returns to the tale andevokes more Slaughter from theappreciative crowd. WThegmusic of Robin?Williamsleans overwhelmingly toward thepopular i ty-gaining countryformat. His stylctis folk musicincorporated into country musicand includes some popularnumbers, such as a slowed, softinterpretation of "Mr. Bo angles"and aI rollicking version of"Rocky Raccoon." O ne of the fewother well-known songs h e does isan excellent^ copy off JamesTaylor's "Sweet Baby James*'fashioned to fit h is style. gRobin Williams can satisfy themusical taste of anyone whoenjoys music, as anyone whoenjoys music will appreciate theimmense talent possessed by thisyoung m a n . jTHE TRANSITION from songto story and back to song is donewith ease and a feeling of comfortableness on the part of singerand audience. & ~3j

H is first show i s o n e marked byfast, fun songs with driving rhythms and occasional love ballads,such a s the one he w rote about hishand-holding affair with Becky ata make-out party in the seventhgrade. The second show is moreserious and carries more of amessage, until the "oldies'*segment is performed. ?Fromi moments characterizedby lyrics such as "don't confrontme with my failures; I've notforgotten," to moments typifiedby his accounts of touching littlefingers with Becky, the RobinWilliams 5 show is personal, =|spontaneous, fun and lfilled withfthe fine guitar and fantastic voiceof an entertainer with a future.Welcome back Robin!! Robin*-Williams 5returns to the 'Hurst.Shows are April 29,30 and May 1at 9 and 10. A possible outdoorshow ma y b e planned for M a y 1 .

PAGE 4 MERCYHURST APRIL 26 . 1974Pres identsMemo F o undbyT.M.CatSpecial Reporter

This reporter recently tailed President Marane's secretary onhe rway to the paper shredder. O ne plain white sheet escaped the stackof papers carried by the woman. The document was retrieved byme and appears, with no additions or omissions, below.Memo from th e Office of th e PresidentT o : myself |R e : suggested graduation agenda, to be presented in next m eetingwith RUS presidentRationale for Program: In order to impress the families of thegraduates with the wholesomeness of Mercyhurst College, an'organic graduation" would be appropriate. Commencement Exercises: The atmosphere of wholesomenesswould be set even before the exe rcises begin. The program wouldinclude a scale drawing of the campus eco-system. Ink for theprogram would be pine-scented.A s the graduates file into their seats, we would have a musicalbackground of the old Roy \ Rogers-Dale Evans song, "Let theSunshine In ." Pe rhaps w e could get the Johnny Mann Singers to doit. Not only is th e song morally uplifting, but it was written duringthe childhood years of he class of &4 and has probably given thesestudents guidance in moral dilemmas over the years.T h e main speak er would be Euell Gibbons, who would reveal hissecret recipe for granola. T h e man w ould undoubtedly be w illing tocome here once he learn s of our eco-systems, the one in na ture andthe one which involves the recycling g of former students intoteachers, administrative assistants, etc. And, having Euell here

might even give us national coverage in the media.Next, Julie Gemm would offer some advice under the guise ofMother Nature. (Find out if Mother Nature is an acceptable womanfigure to ' feminists. We can't risk a walk-out.) With a group ofchildren surrounding her, Julie would read!the passage fromVoltaire on cultivating one's own garden.!The diplomas would be distributed next. Tying in with Julie'sreading, each diploma would really be a m iniature orange plant, aliving tribu te to the grad uate of a wholesome college.T o wind up the exercise s, the faculty and staff would sing to thegradu ates another Rogers-Evans song, "Happy Trails to You."It goes without saying that such a program could not possiblyoffend anyone. Such a program is guaranteed to make a happy andmem orable graduation day for a ll concerned.^ |

A l l i n a l l , this year'sweekend should prove to be thebest ever, i * 5What seems to have happenedin the past few years, since wehave gone coed, is that th e womenhaven't offered to split the expense of the ticket ana will wait to

be asked by one of the men oncampus.
