'The Kingsmen,” "The Association” Sing
'Louie,” "Cherish,” At Gras And Fling
Two big weekends in a row!
Mardi Gras and Spring Fling! Pre
senting to you ‘The Kingsmen' on
April 8 and ‘The Association’ on
April 15-
* The Kingsmen, who catapulted
into national prominence with their
§est-selling recording of “Louie-
Louie”, are no Johnny-One-Notes.
Their originality and freshness
of style make them unique young
artists, who have had a successive
number of hit recordings in the
^ast three years. They are a
tremendous attraction in night
clubs, on television and on college
concert tours.
Although none of the five mem-
lers has celebrated his 22nd bir-
liday, the story of The Kingsmen
re gins in 1960.
Lynn Easton, a talented high
school freshman, organized the^
band in Portland, Oregon. Lynn,
who composes, sings and plays
the sax. joined forces with fellow
•schoolmates Dick Peterson
■(drums), Mike Mitchell (guitar^
' 3arry Curtis (organ), and Norm
iundholm (bass).
As their popularity grew, The
j.^ingsmen developed a unique and
Individualistic style, molding ele-
linents of blues, jazz, and rock 'n’
roll into a thoroughly distinctive
ound.
Currently earning approxi-
ately $500,000 a year because of
'their recordings, television appea-
ances, and concert tours. The
kingsmen have recently begun a
areer in the motion picture in
dustry.
The experts around Tin Pan*
Uey predict future recording suc
cesses equal to “Louie, Louie”,
“Jolly Green Giant”, and “Little
Latin Lupe Lu”.
The old adage, “Imitation is the
slncerest form of flattery”, in
dicates the respect and success at
tained by The Kingsmen. The
group has not only been copied
many times musically, but several
acts have illegally taken the name.
As the man says, “Ladies and
gentlemen, may we present the
original, the one and only, Ktngs-
men.”
With The Association comes the
unimitated, the untrodden and the
newborn. This young group of six
talented musician - performers
has captured the musical interests
of the country with their single
recording of “Cherish” which held
the number one spot on the nation
al music chart week after week.
Their single recording of
“Cherish” does not stand alone.
Before “Cherish” there was the
multi-lyric, fast tempo “And Along
Comes Mary” which immediately
hit the national charts and intro
duced The Association to the lis
tening public.
When The Association steps on a
stage, gone are the trends of
men’s permanent waves, flowered
pants, vinyl vests, eyelids at half-
mast, and unintelligible lyrics po
pularized by other pop recording
groups.
Their music is a perfect com
bination of detailed harmonies,
meaningful lyrics, and intricate
pacing blended together to produce
that indefinable something that ma
kes The Association unique.
Knowing that music is a way of
life. The Association (Jim Yester,
Brian Cole, Terry Kirkman, Russ
Giguerre, Ted Bluechel, and Gary
Alexander) pooled their resources
six months before their first pro
fessional appearence and rented an
old house capable of absorbing
plenty of sound. Their objective
was to give The Association a
definitive form and to polish their
new creation. After their self-
imposed hibernation they made a
hit in nightclubs and shortly there
after signed with Valiant Records.
Their performances pauses are
filled with skillfully paced pan
tomimes, dramatic readings and
slapstick comedy guaranteed to
capture the attention and apprecia
tion of even a stone-faced, un
appreciative pessimist.
Shea Stadium, Buckingham Pa
lace, or The Liberal Arts Audi
torium — wherever you find the
Association performing you will
find a quality of musical excel
lence and versatile theatre very
much alive and, thankfully, still
kicking!
Wearing conservative Carnaby, The Association will appear soon.

Alexander Contributes Article
To ‘‘Encyclopedia Of Philosophy ”
Mardl Gras wlU be the scene for the Kingsmen, who seem to be disenchanted with the whole Idea.
Dr. William M. Alexander, as
sociate professor of religion and
philosophy, has contributed a ma
jor article to the first philoso
phical encyclopedia ever pro
duced in English.
He wrote about Johann Georg
Hamann, 18th century German
Protestant thinker and critic of
the Enlightenment.
Just recently published by Mac
Millan and The Free Press, “The
Encyclopedia of Philosophy” re
presents six-arfd-a-half years of
combined effort by 55 of the world’s
foremost thinkers. It is the most
comprehensive philosophical re
ference ever published in any
language.
Ten years ago the work was
planned to be a one-volume work
with 25 authors. Its final stage
is an eight-volume, 5,000,000-
word encyclopedia with 500 contri
butors from 24 countries.
The production of “The Ency-
lopedia” entailed the internation
al collaboration of distinguished
scholars—a massive scholarly en
deavor. Mr. Kaplan, organizer of
“The Encyclopedia” and presi
dent of The Macmillan Company,
has pointed out, '“We are not likely
to see such an effort again in our
generation.”

Sy 111 posium Topic
Sunday, April 2, at 8:00 p.m. in
the main lounge of the Student
Center the Student Christian Coun
cil sponsored a symposium on the
draft, its alternatives and its ob
ligations.
Guest speakers at the sympo
sium were Mr. Paul Palmer and
Dr. William Alexander.
Palmer, a conscientious objec
tor, presented a short film and
a talk relating draft alternatives.
Dr. Alexander spoke for the
side of draft obligations after one
has been drafted. A question-
answer period followed the two
presentations.
Draft alternatives are granted on
a religious basis and on the firm
conviction that war effort can
achieve no satisfactory ends.
Alternative work to the draft
means working either home or
abroad In some area of national
importance for the same perioc
of time Involved in the draft.
