LAMP AND SHIELD OPERA TING WITHOUT
ADVISOR; POSSIBILITY OF DEADLINES UNMET
Strong says he is not advisor
There is no advisor of
record for The Lamp and
Shield, The Lance was told
yesterday. Or to state it more
correctly, Russell Strong,
alumni Affairs Director, the
man whom everyone has
assumed was the advisor now
says that he is not.
The question came up when
The Lance attempted, earlier
in the week, to put together a
progress report on the
yearbook. Unable to contact
Editor Judi Plyler, our next
step was to talk with Mr.
Strong. Ever smce tne
question of continued Student
Association funding of the
belegauered annual had been
challenged in Senate hearings
early this fall. Strong’s name
has repeatedly been the one
connected with the project.
During the entire Fall
Semester, his name has been
closely linked with The Lamp
and Shield in all the Student
Life Committee hearings on
the subject.
But during yesterday’s
interview. Strong told The
Lance that he was serving in
no official capacity, although
he had been “prodding Judi to
work.” He said further that
he was unable to comment on
any details such as the
number of completed
signatures (out of seven) had
been sent to the publisher. He

Food Committee Meets with Cardinal
OVERLAND EXPRESS will be giving a free concert in the small gym at 9 p.m. March 3, courtesy
of the CUB and Student Activities Office. Admission is free.
St. Andrews’ student food
committee, which helped
precipitate the dismissal of
ARA with organized protests,
met again Monday after a
hiatus during Winter Term
The committee, chaired by
Jim Bumgardner and made
up of Peg Kays, Grada Byrd,
Mickey Richey and Quillarene
Baker, met with Cardinal
Food Service owner Dewey
Humphries and St.‘Andrews
manager David Niblock to
review progress in improving
cafeteria service since ARA
left the first week in
February.
The committee’s principal
item of business was to
propose that Cardinal opt for
serving brunch from about
11:00 a.m. to 1 p.m. on
Saturdays. Reasoning by
members, and supported by
Niblock and Humphries, was
that few people eat breakfast
on Saturdays and most would
prefer it at a later hour. A
proposal to include Sunday
was tabled because of the
number of persons who prefer
to have breakfast before at
tending church services in
town.
Cardinal indicated it would
support the brunch idea and
the committee elected to float
a survey tonight and
tomorrow to determine
student opinion of the idea.
Results should be announced
early next week, and the
brunch idea, if adopted, would
begin next Saturday.
Overland Express Gives Concert
Brooks Film Set For Sunday
The C.U.B. Film of the
Week:
“The Twelve Chairs”
With Mel Brooks, Dom
UeLuise, and Ron Moody
Written and Directed by Mel
Brooks
Sunday night at 7 p.m. in
Avinger; 25 cents.
“The Twelve Chairs”, along
with “The Producers” was an
early 1960’s Brooks film that
was too zany for the audiences
of the day and bombed at the
box office. Re-released in
recent years, it has become
one of Brook’s biggest hits. In
it. Brooks and sidekick
Deluise are among a cast of
tens trying to find a fortune in
Czarist jewels sewn into one of
twelve identical chairs
scattered all over Mother
Russia.
Overland Express was
formed in the fall of 1975 as a
three piece acoustic group
performing mainly in
Chattanooga, Tennessee and
occasionly branching out to
other areas. Being the
case with the band since its
inception, its strong point is
the incredible vocal harmony
of Keith Sherman, Rick
Williams, and Randy Clark.
Overland’s vocals prompted
Tom Rogers of “Mississippi
Whiskers” in Nashville,
Tennessee to say that “the
harmonies and energy
produced by this band
demanded and received the
attention of everyone in my
place.” In February of 1977,
in order to further expand the
groups’ sound, David Pierce,
drummer, was added as the
fourth member of Overland
Express.
Vocals alone never made a
group and versatile
instrumentation of this group
is also worth noting. Keith is a
home playing acousting and
electric guitar as well as lap
steel and harmonica. Randy
is equally at home on acoustic
and electric guitar and
doubles on bass. Rick gives
up his bass only to go over tho
his second love, the
keyboards. David is strictly
percussion for this solid, all-
around group.
This all-around ability has
taken Overland Express to
such music forums as the
Exit/In in Nashville,
Tennessee and the Kingfish in
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, as
well as many other clubs in
most Southern states where
the group has performed with
such names as Pure Prairie
League, the Vassar Clements
Band, and the Lost Gonzo
Band to name a few.
College campuses are a
favorite of the group because
of the concert settings, which
