C. C. Rider Swinger Hits Town By E. CLARY As everyone knows, the newest rock-n-roll singing sensation, Mor mon Tabernacle Choir, performed at Charlotte’s plush Back Porch Supper Club last weekend at the big show and dance. Mr. Choir was interviewed immediately after the show and made the following re marks. Mr. Choir, you have a rather unusual name. What do you usually go by? “Just call me Tab, man.” Is Mormon Tabernacle Choir your real name or is it merely your recording pseudonym? "No, I just use Mormon Tabernacle Choir when I’m singing. My real name is Harvester Quartet.” I see. You certainly performed well tonight. Tell me, do you al ways sing in swim trunks and Beatle boots? "I usually wear an ascot, too.” I noticed that you play a star shaped guitar. Does this guitar pro duce a finer tone than a conventional model? “Naw, the tone’s worse; that’s why I use it.” I understand that you killed them at Carnegie Hall last month. “They tell me th^t three people died of shock. My manager swears that, if my amplifier had been just a little louder, I would have brought down the house.” How do you defend yourself against your rabid fans? ”I just get my shots every six months.” I realize that you’ve performed on some rather bizarre occasions, but what would you say was your most unusual engagement? “Let's see, I once did a show at a school for the deaf. They didn't appreciate my style, though. They accused me of playing too loud.” Tab, you’re supposed to be a shining example to your teenage followers, so what’s in that bottle you’re trying to hide? Oh uh, that’s tomorrow night’s show in there.” Where do you keep your encore? “In this hypodermic needle in my coat pocket.” What do you think of the British singing groups? “As little as possible.” I believe that one of your singing colleagues was killed in a surf ing accident recently, wasn’t he? “Yes, that was Dave the Wave Dodo. He was strumming his elec tric guitar while riding a surf board. Suddenly, he had a washout and was electrocuted. Things Just will be the same without ol Dave. It has been said that the death of Dave the Wave turned you against water sports. Is this true? “Well, I was only a social surfer anyway.” Offhand, how many records would you say that your last hit. The Don’t Beat Your Mother on Mother’s Day Blues”, sold? “It’s hard to say because that record was a doublesided hit. On the flip side was a tune called “The Don’t Beat Your Father on Fa ther’s Day Blues.’ ” Have you ever made a record that wasn’t a hit? “Yeah. I had one flop early in my career. Its title was ‘I Wouldn’t Trade You For the World, But I Can Get a Good Deal On You For A ’48 Kaiser Ragtop’. Too bad about that song. It had a good beat but it didn’t rhyme.” I hear that your newest album is selUng well. “Yes, it’s my third album. The album is called, appropriately enough, ‘Strain and Scream’. Do you have any immediate plans for the future? “I’m going to tour the country along with a swinging group known as Beach Nut and his Chewing Gums.” Can you tell us the name of your newest hit? “Man, I’ll wail it for you. I call it ‘The Uncle Sam Needs You Blues’ and it goes something like this: We-uh-ee-uh-ee-ee-ee-uh-ee-ell, I know you need me. Uncle Sam, But please don't send me to Vietnam, Oh Baby, Woo-oo-oo-oo Baby . . •" Thank you very much Mr. Mormon Tabernacle Choir. EXIT I make my exit this time with a Filthy Fallacy. Did you know that, every year, several persons attempt to commit suicide by leap ing out of basement windows as a result of their fear of heights?

In each commit tee, a motion was made by the UAR to expell Israel; however, each time the motion was not con sidered because of Israel’s absence. Iraq (CharloCte College) moved to table a resolution submitted by Kuwait in the Economic Commit tee to divert the Tigris-Eupbrates River because this is considered an internal matter of the Arab League. The motion was carried as a result of the Iraq delegation’s efforts to gain support of other nations against U.N. interference in inter nal affairs particularly where there is no international dispute. The Political Committee passed a resolution admitting Red China The report on Friday, Feb. 26, by the House Higher Education Committee, but that the House had not yet voted on the bill. The bill was expected to be voted on by the house today (Tuesday, March 2) during the final reading. The Collegian welcomes let ters for its “Letters To The Editor” column.

However, many ironical matters were noticed in this year’s representation: U.S. Air Force Academy repre sented Turkey while the U.S. Mili tary Academy represented the U.S. and delegates in Air Force uniform represented and defended the Views of the Turkish government. U.S. Naval Academy represent ed the Government of Panama and Naval officers played the role of an official delegation from Pana ma. A student from Malaysia was a member of the delegation from In donesia (represented by Virginia Military Institute) which is no long er a member of the actual U.N. A colored delegation from Clark College represented the Union of South Africa and defended the pol icy of racial discrimination and apartheid. The serious mood of the meeting was interrupted by a Costa Rican delegation wearing a large sign reading “United Fruit Company”. The Western hemisphere nations delegates received free bananas from the Costa Rican delegation with these words written on Mch has an opportunity to repay some of the kindnesses shown him during his stay with the family.
