46 Fine Arts’ Wall Collapses A section of wall connecting the old Fine Arts Building to a newer addition collapsed at 3:15 p.m., Friday, Nov. 10, on the McNeese campus. No injuries were reported as the 65- foot wall fell on the roof of the building. However, the Bayou Players’ produc- tion of ‘‘The Mousetrap’’ was post- poned. Three classrooms, three offices, several rehearsal rooms, and a part of Squires Recital Hall were damaged by the falling bricks. A new wall was erected in the build- ing by use of emergency funding from the Board of Liquidation. Repairs stemming from the collapse totalled at approximately $64,400, according to Paul Ritter, Director of Facilities and Planning. Bolts were placed in the back wall behind the stage in Ralph Squires Auditorium — a section built in the same way as the one that had fallen. The fallen wall was a free-standing one, not connected to the building in any way. Leta? an Fey ket ‘.

‘Sea Level’’ Performs at McNeese The McNeese Student Union Board (SUB) presented ‘‘Sea Level’ in con- cert Wednesday, Jan. 24 at 8 p.m. in the main auditorium. ‘Sea Level’ is most widely Known for its origin. Three members are rem- nants of the Allman Brothers Band — Johanmy Johanson, Chuck Leavell, and Lamar Williams. Other members are Jimmy Nalls, Davis Causey, and George Weaver. “Sea Level’ has three albums — Sea Level, Cats on the Coast, and On the Edge. Several new album cuts were recorded live before the McNeese crowd. The concert opened with ‘‘Oco- nee,”’ a five-piece jazz rock group. After the night of the performance, memories of the group remained in the minds of students. Varied responses towards the concert and the SUB tui- tion assessment were made known by more than six letters to the editor in the “Contraband.”’ Many students felt that “Sea Level’ did not qualify for the definition of “‘big name”’ entertainment. Others stated that they performed a ‘qualitative college level concert’’ and “satisfied the necessity of the latest desired sounds.”’ SUB was blindly criticized and defended on their attempt in acquiring ‘big name’”’ entertainment. 47
