CB: Alive and well in ' 86- ' 87 Center Board, comprised of C.A.B.s Committee, Coffeehouse Lecture Comm., House Affairs Comm., Recrea- tion Comm., Center Arts Comm., Special Events Comm., Pop Concerts, and Tours Comm., is the one campus organization that reaches everyone. Throughout the year, CB sponsors many activities. In the Fall, CB rocked us with the Hoot- ers, brought us movies, mimes, and magi- cians. Katherine Brady spoke on Date Rape, Incest, and Child Abuse. There was An Evening with Edgar Allen Poe, The College Bowl, and C.A.B.s every Sat- urday night. For the Holidays, Center Board spon- sored the Madrigal Dinner and brought us a Christmas classic, The Nutcracker. Spring semester brought us more mov- ies, more C.A.B.s, Abbie Hoffman on Activism, Barber and Seville, Comedy Ventriloquists, and An Evening with John Keats . All year long, CB and its eight commit- tees worked successfully to bring Clarion informative, interesting, and, of course, entertaining events. -Steve Ferringer 10 Center Board

Hooters rock in Tippen Gym On a cold fall night in September, Tip- pen gymnasium was rocked by the Hoot- ers. You may be asking yourself What are Hooters? Well if you ' re anyone who knows anything about Rock Roll, you know that they are one of the hottest new bands to emerge in quite a while, and after many changes within the Philade- phia based band, the current members are Rob Hyman, Eric Bazillion, Andy King, John Lilley, and David Uosilkinen. The band ' s name stems from the musi- cal instrument they use in many of their songs, called a Hooter. A Hooter is a small keyboard, which when blown into, produces musical sounds. It is quite an unorthodox instrument for a rock band, but says singer keyboardist Rob Hyman, That ' s what we ' re all about, we go crazy trying to keep our songs different from other top 40 songs. He also talked about how the band goes about writing their hit songs, at a pre-concert press conference with the rest of the band: The writing takes a long time, he said, We start out with 20 or 25 ideas and narrow it down. The group arrived in Clarion as part of their 150 city, 10 month tour. It has taken them to such places as Australia and Canada, and they have been through most of the United States. As a result, they have been on the road for quite some time. Says Eric Bazillion, We do the best we can; eat well, work out, or we ' ll turn into slugs. He added, We learn to lean on each other. According to Rob Hyman, some of the band ' s musical influences were the Bea- tles, because they wrote their own materi- al, and, strangely enough- Burl Ives. During the standing room only concert in Tippen gym, the band played many of their most popular songs, including All you Zombies , Where Did the Children Go? , and the title track from the album Nervous Night. The Hooters ' sound can be heard on Cyndi Lauper ' s debut album, She ' s so Unusual , because both Eric and Rob played on it, and Rob even wrote some of the songs. The Hooters expect their next album will be a big success, and they will hope- fully embark on another tour that will bring them back to Clarion. -Joseph Barr -Cory Chrisley 12 John Lilley jams to the Hooters ' tunes.
