70 Copas Bros. Band Spring SEB Chairman Tommy Lyons and Concert Series Chairman Ftay Ftoy talk about a just-finished concert at a local nightspot in Thibodaux. Variety was the main goal during the spring semester by the board. Booking a solo act, the SEB billed it as an inti- mate evening with Shawn Philips. Two performances were scheduled, with only 500 student tickets and 500 general admission tickets for each concert. The psychology of limited admittance worked as the first performance was sold out and the sec- ond show had over 600 persons. Using the projection room of the auditorium too, the film series picked up interest with a wider variety of films. Comedy films included The Longest Yard, Frank Zappa's 200 Motels and Oliver Serious films featured were Alfred l-litchcock's Blow-up, Jesus Christ Superstar and Sam Peckinpah's Strawdogs. To aid weekend boredom, Alan Fomorin cre- ated a Science Fiction Weekend Filmfest with the showings of The Thing, Ftodan and The Crawling Eye. The Dutchman, the first folk guitarist to appear at Nicholls since 1971, debuted before Flash Cadillac and his Continental Kids with easy listening music. H o New Ioca Hon brings in crowds for Phillips show The Copas Bros. prepare to plug in electric guitars and fiddles as the warm-up act for the Doug Kershaw Concert. Their country-rock sound blended with Kershaw's Cajun bayou selections. Breaking four bows in his performance, Doug Kershaw puts the strain on his fiddle. The stage was draped with a backdrop ofa sequined alligator in the swamp.
