Abundant talent was evi- dent in the '78 Spring Sing show of Chi Sign and Regina, who placed second in the sweepstakes. Using the theme of Spring Sing Freedom, their music was carefully coordinated by their director, Mickey Cox, and included such songs as Philadelphia Freedom, Mother Freedom, Here We Stand. and a moving spiritual. Oh Freedom. The red, white and blue costumes inspired patri- otism and enhanced the choreography, which was directed by Wayne Reed and Vickie Durrington.

After the group reunited this winter, Harding was the first college audience. for which they performed.

The Bison described the group as country-pop-rock,. which aptly applies to their repertoire. Included in this concert were a Beatles medley, Travelling Shoes and Anna,'f an original composition by Carl Hinkle for his daughter. The group climaxed the evening with Rocky Top, a traditional favorite. ENGLAND DHN 8: JOHN FORD COLEY Play for 2,000 Laying carpet on the floor of the New Gym- nasium and renting an 80-foot stage were only a couple of the many preparations made by the Student Association when England Dan and John Ford Coley appeared in concert. Their efforts were judged worthwhile when 2,000 people attended the April 20 concert in 1978. The two native Texans launched their act with familiar hits, Nights are Forever Without You, Sad to Belong to So- meone Else, and l'd Really Love to See You Tonight. Later in the pro- duction, the duo featured some harder rock, demons strating a less familiar, versatile side of their talent. Concerts b , 17
