r weekend preview A student who’s looking for kicks Griped, ‘ I’m tired of concerts and flicks, Of wasting my tips On the same kinds of trips. How do I get out of this fix?” For anyone cruising along in the same rut, check thes^ out: Pottery classes are beginning at Maude Kerns, for people who like to create things, for people who are good with their hands (or think that practice might help if they’re not), and for people who like to play in the mud. Potting is a fascinating trip if you get hooked on organics, integrating fauna with natural materials, per fecting textures and myriads of other aspects. The only drawback to the Kerns classes is cost, but if you can afford it, what a way to pass Saturday afternoons. Today (9 a.m.), Friday (1 p.m.) and Saturday (afternoon and evening) the national Gymnastics Championships will be going on. Student tickets are $1 to all sessions but the Saturday night finals, which are $2. You can buy a $5 ticket to the whole event but that doesn’t save you anything. At Lane Community College a new exhibit of paintings by Arthur Mu-Sen Lao is showing through April 13. The scenes are all tranquil Oriental mountains, streams and nature views. A new batch of drawings and prints by Ken Paul and Harold Hoy is also on display at Maude Kerns until April 20. For those who enjoy meditation a group of local musicians will provide a vehicle for your trip, but you have to bring your own pillow. The group calling themselves Anahata, which is Sanscrit for “sounds of the heart”, will produce said strains on accoustical and electric guitars, piano, electric violin, Indian hand drums, traps and vocally Someone is also doing transcendental dramatization. The benefit for a yogist com munity in California begins at 8 p.m. Friday in the Wesley Center. You are asked for a dollar donation. Saturday you have an opportunity to hear and learn about the Japanese flute in the University’s recital hall. Elliot Weisgarber, a professor at the University of B.C., studied the Shakuhachi at a Zen school in Japan. His music and commentary are free. Thursday at 12:30 p.m. and Friday at 8:00 p.m. Betty Jean Clark, senior in dance, will present a dance concert in 353 Gerlinger Annex. It’s free. Then on Sunday in the recital hall Ras Dam Chakravarty and Krishna Sanyal will play and give commentary on the Bitar at 4 p.m. This is also free. Tonight, Friday and Saturday are good evenings to view plays. At Scarborough Faire you can see a collage of selected speeches from Hamlet and a Mrozek play “Charlie” for $1 at 8 p.m. At 8:15 p.m. on the same nights you can see “Harvey” at the Very Little Theatre for $2. Ac tually, you can’t see Harvey because he is a pooka, and therefore, invisible, but you can see the rest of the characters. On Friday afternoon as a part of the Ar chitecture Lecture and Experimental Film Series, David Sandahl will do a program on experimental architecture. His talk begins at 4:30 p.m. in 177 Lawrence. If you are a woman, you can participate in a hike along the McKenzie River Trail Saturday with your sisters in University Feminists. Everyone is meeting at 10 a.m. in front of University House (791 E. 15th). Wear tennis shoes; hiking boots are too hot. Here’s something new: the First Annual Art Auction, sponsored by Hadassah. Graphic art from California galleries and sculpture will be on view at 8p.m., and will be auctioned beginning at 9 p.m. Admission is $1.50. Hawaiian Punch and cheese hors d’oeuvres are included. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. there will be a flea market on the Lane County Fairgrounds, Satur day. If you don’t believe that attending films and concerts indicates that your entertainment life is in a rut, then the rest of this review is for you. You ha ve at least eight opportunities to catch a concert and at least that many film presentations to choose among. Tonight John Mayall is appearing at the Paramount Northwest Theatre in Portland. He says that the point to his recordings is to get rock audiences exposed to jazz so they’ll realize tha. the two types of music are basically the suave thing, and to help him get the point across at thL*. Auditions set for next week Have you always wanted to be in a play? If the yearning to be on stage has always been in your blood, but you’ve never really felt you had a chance — well, here’s that chance. Students in a University directing class need your help to perform class projects. And Uiey have 45 roles available for thespians — experienced and otherwise. The roles — parts in the ten plays being directed by the students for their class projects — will be auditioned next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The Monday and Tuesday auditions will begin at 7 p.m., the Wednesday aidition will last from 3:30 until 6:30 p.m. All auditions will be held in the Pocket Playhouse at Villard Hall.

Renee Margolin, one of the directors, says the directors have each chosen a one-act play to perform. And she says “all these people are doing things they want to do. Everybody that’s directing a play is gun-ho on doing it. I chose my play berause I like it, it’s a funny play.’’ Margolin says the only thing standing between the directors’ desire and actual performance of the plays is getting the actors and actresses. “We just need people to come to the auditions. That’s the only thing lacking,” she said. While experience would be appreciated, she says “everyone is in vited to come to the auditions and try out.” Wm% .mi7 p^o1^b^Pefe^Grant concert he has solicited the aide of some good cookers. You might recognize Keef Hartley, Freddie Robinson and the rest as having backed up other jazz performers. Should be fine. The concert is at 8 p.m., and tickets are only $4 in advance. For the same price, same place and time on Friday, you can hear Black Oak Arkansas and Jo Jo Gunne. Black Oak was, really, from Black Oak, Arkansas (pop. 204), but now they’re from “Heaven.” (That’s the name of the commune they’ve started in the Ozarks). Well, anyway, I’d recommend that you try out one of their albums before you go to the concert if you’ve never heard them before. Lead vocal Jim Dandy croaks; the best way to describe their sound is hot and nasty. Saturday’s concerts are local. From 8 - 12 a.m. Saturday you can dance to Wings of Freedom in the EMU ballroom for $1. At the Westmoreland Community Center (22nd and Fillmore) Notary Sojac will be doing a dance and concert-stage show from 8:30-11:30 p.m. Saturday.
