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.

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. ■

But I ' m Used To Saying ' New Dorm ?; A large number of parents and friends came to visit their sons and daughters on the traditional Parent ' s Day, held this year on Oct. 26. The program commenced at Dever Audito- rium with Dean Hiersche welcoming all. The program began with a performance by the WSC Chorale. Pres. Randolph, Deans Marotte and Mc- Kenna were also on hand. The two student co-directors of Freshmen Orientation welcomed the crowd. Elsa Sjo- berg spoke of the advantages of going to a small college. She encouraged students to be involved in campus activities and praised the exchange program. Ed Healy said that college is lonely and although students have a new sense of inde- pendence, they need all the love and en- couragement parents can offer. After a box lunch parents and students en- joyed performances by campus musical groups. Also in the afternoon, the new dorm was dedicated to Theresa J. Lammers, a former WSC professor. Lammers Hall gained an identity that many residents still aren ' t used to. Until the new New Dorm opens, there will be a lot of people living in new Lammers Dorm . 14
