Go West Young Man ^
“West is comprised of no more than four and no less
than six members ... The names doesn’t stand for anything
or anyplace or anytime. It just feels good. When the music
came together the way the group felt it should, so did the
name. The music is natural... it’s not intended to be far out
or tricky or strange, it’s just intended to feel good. If you
like the music, it will tell you more about us than anything
we could write.” This statement of intent appears on the
back of the jacket of WEST, a new folk release on the Epic
label. Their sound is not really unique; the group often
reminds the listener of many other groups that he has heard
and enjoyed - from the Mamas and Papas to the Everly
Brothers. Their guitar pickin’ style runs along the same vein
as The Lovin’ Spoonful.
“four Strong Winds” by the half dozen young gentlemen
who comprise West is an adequate subject for comparison
to Ian and .Sylvia’s rendition or even Gorden Lightfoot’s
original version. “She’s like a summer llower. I watch her
by the hour. I think I love her all the time. She’s on my
mind.” With beautiful lyrics and an enticing electric flute in
the background, “Summer flower” can’t fail to capture the
listener's lancy. “Six Days on the Road” is a travel song in
Ihe tradition of western travel songs. One of the most
unusual sotigs to come out lately is “Donald Duck,” a
modernized talc ot Walt Disney’s characters. The listener
quickly learns of the “Mickey Mouse” guitar player and
Chip ‘n Dale, who own a furniture store. The most
memorable parallel is drawn of Goofy, who has traded
places with LBJ. Another good cut is “New England
Winter.” a Mamas and Papas-style tunc about a couple who
enjoy a winter together in the wilderness.
■fhe record jacket also states that Epic Stereo Records
will last as long as mono records played on the same
equipment. West will last even after the plastic no longer
hold.t the grooves.
from the Russian peasant dress and the red carpet and
.sashes on the cover (not to mention ihe ridiculous poses)
one might be justified in expecting to discover a communist
propaganda record inside the jacket that bears the title
TEDDY & THE PANDAS BASIC MAGNETISM. Would
one be disappointed to discover that this is a fallacious
assumption? This Tower release doesn't quite make the
grade as a strong psycitodclic sound; nor are the lyrics of a
r|uality that tnight be called great. The Pandas are not a bad
group; their only failing is that they do not present
anything any different from other previous hard rock
groups. It is at least unfortunate that the boys perform
their own songs, because the five voices on the record form
a passingly fair harmony. “Crossing Man” is one of the
belter attempts on Ihe album. And “At the Debutante
Ball” is noteworthy for Ihe simple reason that it pokes fun
at formal ballas and such. The release is not bad, but there
are belter ones out.

Construction of the two
^ 1
residence halls for the UNC-C is
“on schedule”. Bill Bowers of the
Little Construction Co. estimated
late last week that the scheduled
completion date of June, 1969
will be met with no anticipated
■^difficulty if constreution
I continues in an orderly fashion, as
it has up to the present time. This
^ means that the residence halls
” would be ready for September
occupancy with time to spare.
W Some of the likely changes in
^ student life on campus can be
viewed with increasing certainty.
Each residence hall will be
twelve stories high (one for men,
the other for women), and each
floor will have four suites. In
addition, the fully air-conditioned

buildings will have TV rooms, a
library lounge, coin-operated
washers and dryers, post office
boxes, and a concessions area with
a variety of machine-operated
vending machines. Each suite will
have a telephone and there are
plans to provide telephones in
every room in the future.
Near the residence halls and
close to Highway 49, there will be
a cafeteria for dorm students
designed ultimately to handle
2,000 people. Two “contracts”
will be available for students living
in residence halls. One, at a cost
of $750.00, will cover cost of the
student’s room and 15 meals per
week for the academic year.
Another contract, for $800.00,
covers room expense and 21 meals
per week. i
On each floor of the residenct I
halls there will be a personnel
assistant - a selected student wiij!
will act as counsellor adviser, j
addition, each residence hall
have a two bedroom suite for tlj '
resident manager, or perhaps
young married couple.
There will be a large parkij,
area provided near the residencr
halls, but with not enough roon'
for every student to keep a car on
campus. However, there are n,
plans at present to restrict tbe
number of student cars. EacI
