Robert Klein Brings Waves of Laughter at Shea Shea Auditorium was the scene ior the Robert Klein Concert sponsored by the Jewish Student Association. Five talented students from the Music Department started oii the evening. Nightwatch, a jazz band formed a year ago, had everyone tapping their feet to the rhythms. Memorable performances were given by Bonomo, the percussionist and Bud Maltin on the sax, clarinet and flute. Their rendition of Sneakin ' Up Behind You and their closing num- ber Woodstock, were the high- lights of their programs. After a brief Intermission, Robert Klein, dressed casually in a shirt and jeans, came out on stage to extended applause from the full house. His rou- tine started with some stories about his college days at Alfred University. He then took off running through such diverse topics as Walt Disney, Cockroaches, commercials and some of the new material from his latest album. Bringing waves of laughter from the audience, he paced up and down using his red handkerchief fre- quently, for the first hour of his per- formance. Then Klein called his piano player. Phil Galdston, on stage. Together they did parodies of blues. rock, and soul songs of today. The evening came to an end with his stories about his dental work, a skit called. New Teeth. The tal- ented comedian brought a standing ovation from the crowd and many Imitations during the rest of the week. That same night.

%! Ki J ' ilSf-f The Programming Board took advantage of the Columbus holiday by scheduling a three day camping trip to Stokes Forest. The twenty campers got to the site about ten oclock, Saturday morning in a light drizzle. After putting up the tents, and with nothing else to do because of the rain: the parties started. The weather cleared by Sunday morning opening the way for football and swimming. Lunch and dinner con- sisted of canned goods, hot dogs, and hamburgers. After dinner? Par- ties again! Monday came and no one wanted to come back to school. One of the campers, Wayne Jones, said, It was a really great time. We all made a lot of tight friends this weekend.
