Jamie Brockett Walking onto the stage on the evening of October 7, 1975, Jamie Brockett gave the impression of the typical country-folk character, with his white shirt and faded blue jeans. In this concert sponsored by the Student Union Concert Committee. Brockett ' s obsession of being reincarnated as a saxaphone, led into a sing-a-long with the song You are my Sunshine in which he imitated a saxaphone. After the intermission, Brockett ' s lateness caused the audience to flick their Bics and sing You are my Sunshine again. Brock- ett ' s rapport with the audience was great, handling the hecklers with ease and style. In commenting on the large turn-out for this Tuesday night con- cert, Brockett remarked What else do you do up here in the woods except hang around looking at trees. ■

This year the traditional WSC Slave Day received a new title, Freshmen Inc. Sponsored by the class of 1978 to raise money, the Sophmores could not have succeded without the fun-loving Freshmen. Those Freshmen who did not retreat home early Friday, October 3rd, were put through the paces of singing, dancing and simply acting foolish at the whims of the upperclassmen ... for a price! For four hours, WSC returned to the eighteen hundreds as upper- classmen bought the nervous Freshmen at prices ranging from five cents to fourteen dollars. Once purchased, the Freshmen were at the mercy of their masters as they did laundry, cleaned rooms, and even washed windows. Liberation time soon came, however, to find relieved Freshmen, rich Soph- mores, and sorrowful upperclassmen. The thought that they would have their turn supervising Fresh- men next year helped many of this year ' s Freshmen make it through to Liberation Time. You should have seen the one that n t a va Slave Day Receives New Title October 3 Many of the upperclassmen had themselves ready-made dates for the dance that night. The slaves ran for their masters ' beer, danced with them, and in some cases, even helped them make it home.

Harvey ' s . Probably for every person who eats there, that name conjures up a different image. Harvey ' s refers di- rectly to Harvey Allen, the manager of the food service on campus ... It also refers to all-purpose brown gravy, last resort cold cuts, and awffles for break- fast ... or better, all the milk, Tab and Coke you can drink, and ice cream (sometimes) ... a place to sit for many morning hours playing cards, cramming for exams, or just surveying the scene. For the price of a meal pass, a student can get three meals a day, seven days a week, for about fifty cents a meal. By the same token, many students never pay the board bill and eat in the caf regularly. The caf provides jobs for students as well as food. Although working on the pig and picking up trays may not be the most pleasant way to spend time, the money earned is undoubtedly benefi- cial. Unfortunately, there is a minority who refuse to pick up their trays, who think food fights are top excitement, and who generally neglect the rights of others. However, the advantages — and they differ from person to person according to who likes doughnuts on Friday and spagetti on Tuesday — make Harvey ' s a pretty nice place to visit.
