TUESDAY
Tonight, in Sternberger
Auditorium, the Guilford
College will present Washing
ton's premier rhythm and
blues band, the Nighthawks,
at 9:00 as a part of the
Serendipity celebration. The
Nighthawks have received
rare reviews everywhere they
appear. Their music has been
compared to that of J. Giels.
However, that is where the
comparison ends. They have
their own refreshing style that
just picks you off your feet
and, quite frankly, makes the
J. Giels Band look like a group
if amateurs.
Bill Holland in a review in
Concert magazine, Sept.,
1975, said of the Nighthawks:
"They offer no gimmicks, just
a night of rocking, danceable,
blues oriented music that is
better than heavy metal rock
and much less zombie-like
than the Top-40 live muzak."
According to local D.C.
music-lovers The Nighthawks
are one of the best bands to be
seen in concert. And after
giving their first album. Rock

Tonight's show is a natural
follow-up to the fine sounds of

more people than Hard Times
did. So we hope to see you

FRIDAY
On Friday night in Dana
Auditorium Federico Fellini's
AMACORD will be shown at
8:15. It is a fun, accessable
film full of comedy and life.
Amarcord means "I rem
ember" in dialect Italian, and
this gorgeously realized movie
is a sentimental journey into
Federico Fellini's own past.
His recollections of growing
up in a provincial town in the
1930's under Church and
Fascism inspire colorful,
bawdy vignettes peopled by
sometimes outrageous, always
magnificient characters. The
movie. Fellini's 14Vith, is an
unforgettable mixture of
realism and fantasy.
"Amarcord is pure plea
sure. One of the rare films you
can let caress you with the
sheer sensuousness of loving
art. Fellini restores magic
tomovies."
-Joseph Gelmis, Newsday

On Tuesday night April 6
Ingmar Bergman's early
classic THE VIRGIN SPRING
will be shown in Dana
Auditorium at 8:15. When this
film was released it was given
an Academy Award for the
best foreign film.
The Virgin Spring grimly
depicts a father's ruthless
vengeance for the rape and
murder of his virgin daughter.
Bergman fills our eyes with
highly contrasting black and
white to evote an imaginative
medievil world, suggesting
the battle of Christianity and
paganism. For a man of
Bergman's sophistication, the
austere simplicity of this film
is a rare achievement. This
film stars Max von Sydow and
Birgitta Petterson.
in New York City in 1904,
Campbell was educated at
Columbia University and at
universities in Paris and
Munich.
In addition, Joseph Camp
bell will present the conclud
ing session of the Myth
Colloquium for the 1975-76
year. This will be held at 3:30
in the Gallery of Founders on
Wednesday April 7. The topic
of that presentation will be
"The Psychological and Social
Functions of Mythology."
"A FILM OF
EXHILARATING
BEAUTY...
EXTRAVAGANTLY
FUNNY.
'Amarcord'
may possibly
be Federico
Fellini's most
marvelous film."
