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.
Plays being performed in the Pocket
Playhouse May 1 and 2 and student directors of the
projects include:
— Answers, by Tom Topor. Bill McCoy needs
to fill three male roles.
— Love in a French Kitchen. Larry Sutten
needs one female and three males.
— Little Pieces, by Monte Merrick. Rick
Turnbow needs one male and one female.
— Impromptu, by Ted Mosel. Bill Schwer

Arsdale. Lindy Rollins needs one female and six

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.”

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. As the event is a benefit for
SCORE Youth Co-operative, a $1.50 donation is
asked.
Cat Mother, a rejuvenated band from England
will be playing at the Cascade dub (32nd and
Jasper, Springfield) on Saturday. They start at
8:30p.m. Cover charge is $1.50, and refreshments
are available. For a sneak-preview of their
English rock-and-roll, listen to KZEL-FM’s review
of their new album Thursday.
If you are ready for some nostalgia, you can
see the Everly Brothers Sunday at South Eugene
High at 8 p.m. Tickets are from $3 to $5.
Monday, Duke Ellington will be at the

the War at the bargain price of 75 cents. “Horse
Feathers” with Groucho as a professor will be

Water” at 8 p.m. by Screen Gems in WOW Hall.
On Friday the Louis Buniel 407 Film class is

150 Science the University Film Society is running
a film written, directed and starring a woman,
Tony-Award winner Barbara Loden. Her film
about a mountain woman who deserts her family
for liberation and the futility of her attempt to
escape is called “Wanda”.
