Nighthawk's was formed about five years ago under the name of Chain Reaction. For the first couple of years the band mem- bers were drummer Craig Kieffer, lead guitarist Dave Wes- ley and bass guitarist Jim Carlson. The last three years, they have performed under the name of Nighthawk. Keyboard player, Steve Fluegel joined the band about the time of the name change. They've come along way from their early days. Last summer a Florida based production com- pany became interested in a song written by Wesley and Carlson called l'Weekend Lover. With a few more original mu- sic compositions, Nighthawks could possibly record an album. Until then, the band plans to keep busy. A trip to Florida as a warm-up act for a feature band may take place. But when fall comes around they plan to split up for awhile to attend college. That is-if they don't hit it big in Florida. AT THE Ground Round, during a Snow Week, Nighthawk entertained the students throughout the evening. Pictured 'are Dave Wesley, Hob Hanson, CraigfKietter fon drumsj, lim Carlson, and Steve Fhiegel.

5-k . And The Beat Goes On. MEMBERS OF SPOILER take if easy after a hard practice. Members include Ken Haaland, lim Coughlin, Dan Siebenaler, Erik Mathison and Chris Illa, Carl Moeller, Dan Robinson and Jeff Beltz have only been together a short while. The name of their band, Eyes, was conceived while they were watching the movie, The Eyes of Laura Mars. Eyes practices about four nights a week for four hours. Both Robinson and Beltz play in other bands in addition to their commitment to Eyes. They hope to focus all their energy into Eyes as soon as jobs become available. Eyes describe themselves as a high energy power rock trio. New wave is alright for them but not the really weird kind. They have written some original songs but haven't worked them into their act yet. The band plans to begin play- ing at local bars around town like the 'iCrystal Pistol. They would like to end up by playing at the Civic Center. BASS GUITARIST for Eyes was junior, Carl Moeller. A band means a group of people that get together and that's exactly what we do, says Dan Siebenaler, lead singer of the band Spoiler. We just got on the bandwagon. Spoiler is made up of a con- glomeration of different bands. Their music reflects the type of music that is popular today. The members do not like new wave. They prefer to play what they term as urowdie rock. The other members of the band are bass guitarist, Ken Haaland, Jim Coughlin, lead guitar, Chris Illa, rythm guitar and Erik Mathison on the drums. They try to get together to practice two or three times a week.
