EDITOR'S NOTE: The fol
lowing article represents
the writer's opinion.
After performing in a
Carnegie Hall concert
which was sold out two
months in advance, Lin
coln's half-filled Pershing
Auditorium Wednesday
night must have been a dis
mal sight to folk singer,
Joan Baez.
Lincoln audiences have a
reputation among perform
ers for being unresponsive,
even when the Auditorium
is full. But Wednesday
night's mixture of the faith
ful and the curious couldn't
resist the power of a singer
whose first album, released
by Vanguard in 1960, sold
more copies than the work
of any other female folk
singer in recording his
tory. She broke the ice by ham
ming up her second song,
"Little Darlin'," a teeny
bopper ballad written dur
ing the depths of the rock-and-roll
dark ages which
Joan called "a very poor
song." Her repertoire for
the evening also included:
a Japanese version of
"Blowin in the Wind," and
"If I were a Carpenter."

Draws 249
Donors
A record number of stu
dents and professors turned
out for the Red Cross Blood
mobile Thursday, according
to Margo McMaster, Red
Cross publicity chairman.
A total of 249 pints of blood
were donated with 272 people
registering, she added. Some
going through were unable to
give blood because of health
restrictions.
The blood will be sent to
Omaha and then used in hos
pitals across the United
States, said Miss McMaster.
Lynn Grosscup, president of
the Red Cross, said that Ar
nold Air Society, Angel Flight
and Red Cross workers pro
vided excellent help during
the Bloodmobile.
In six or eight cases, dif
ferent groups of people des
ignated specific recipients for
the donations, according to
the Red Cross.

The only "legitmate-type
folk song" on the program,
was "M a r y Hamilton."
She also sang "Eleanor Rig

age, you know" and songs
by Donovan and Bob Dylan.
ITALIAN HIPPIES
The two songs of Italian
hippies, who she said are
"different than American
hippies," s e e m e d to be
among her favorites. One of
the songs told of "an Italian
Hippie who used to travel
with an American friend,
listening to the Beatles and
the Rolling Stones, until his
friend got a letter from the
American government . . .
"Do people who live in
this state sing?" she joking
ly asked once. "I know
you're healthy. Do you
know "Kumbaya?" Then
about two-thirds of the audi
ence softly sang along.
Fewer sang "Yesterday"
with her. That didn't mean
she wasn't appreciated.
Some of the people gave her
a standing ovation at t h e
end of her performance.
Intermission, she said,
was held "so those who
don't agree with my politics
can leave." Apparently only
a few disagreed. The audi

to 7 p.m. Thirty dishes will
be offered and all food will
be prepared by NIA mem
bers. "I feel that this buffet
will provide students with a
unique opportunity where
else can you get stuffed
grape leaves?" Miss Kot
asked.
The buffet costs $1.50 per
person and tickets may be
purchased in the Student
Union and from members
of People to People and
NIA. Xo tickets will be sold
at the door.
The profits from the buf
fet provided People to Peo

revenue and this year's pro
fits will be used to provide
a scholarship for a foreign
student.
In an evaluation of Inter
antional Week, Miss Kot
said that the most important
result was the new interest
generated in the student
body.
A direct result of the
week was a new program
w hereby a student may host
a foreign student at his
home for a few days during
Christmas vacation. Any
one interested should con

Miss Kot also stated that
People to People hoped to
continue the dinner ex

week. In this program a
living unit hosts a foreign
student for dinner.

Playwrite Directs
Own Production
A former University stu
dent, Andrew Backer, has
returned to Lincoln to direct
the Community Playhouse
sponsored production of his
play, "Didn't He Ramble".
The play was awarded first
prize in the Centennial con
test last year.
Backer urged that Uni
versity students participate
in the tryouts for the play,
to be held Nov. 19, 20 and
21 at the Playhouse from
7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.
The writer added that the
drama concerns college
students. He said that one
of the major characters is
a college dropout seeking
to fulfill an image, and en
countering many of the
same problems that face
students today.
The theme, Backer said,
concerns people "who want
the world and want it now."
He remarked that several
parallels with the hippie
revolution are included in
the play.
Backer continued that
"Didn't He Ramble" con
tains political overtones. He
described it as "The king is
dead, long live the king."
The director added that the
play deals with a value sys-

Joan Baez is said to be

1966 as a part of his thesis

To Favor
FM Station
Student senate has approved
a bill urging the Board of
Regents to act favorably on
the expenditure of student
fees for use by the proposed
student FM radio station.
Approved by unanimous
voice vote Wednesday, the bill
requires the ASUN to convey
the results of the student body
election which strongly ap
proved the station.
"Whereas; the following
proposal appeared on the
Nov. 8, 1967, election ballot,
'Students at the University of
Nebraska are willing to pay
an additional 15 cents per stu
dent per semester in order to
provide an operating budget
for a student-operated educa
tional FM radio station', and
"Whereas; the University of
Nebraska student body ap
proved this proposal by a vote
of 2.076 to 426 ( 83 per cent to
15 per cent), therefore
"Be it resolved: that ASUN
convey the results of this elec
tion to the Board of Regents
and ask them at their Decem
ber meeting to approve this
expenditure of student fee
moneys to take effect as soon
as possible so that the edu
cational FM radio station can
begin broadcasting."
