Leo Kottke fans will be
disappointed to learn that the
nimble fingered guitarist will not be
returning for his fourth annual
performance at UNC this year.
Instead, a pair of female stars will
headline the Carolina Union's
lineup of attractions for the
upcoming months.
The variety of music, dance and
theatre planned by the Union
promises an Autumn of interesting

entertainment to satisfy any taste.
Lily Tomlin
Between her memorable
characters born upon the zany set of
Laugh-In and her amazingly
sensitive performance in Robert
Altman's masterpiece, Nashville,
Lily Tomlin has displayed a
versatility which has made her one
of the most popular performers in
America. She will appear at 8 p.m.
on October 15 in Memorial Hall.
The list of unique characters Tomlin
has created includes little Edith
Ann, loquacious Susie Sorority, the
Tasteful Lady and the "sincere"
country singer. Lily Tomlin
captivates the audience with a
vague, twisted smile, a shift of her
eyes, and chiding remarks which
J

effectively expose the absurdities of
day to day life.
Janis Ian
Janis lan has been reborn in 1975,
A victim of the all too fleeting
stardom of the pop-rock world, Ian
dropped out of sight following a
solitary hit, a mid-Ws protest song
entitled "Society's Child." Now,
after three years of self-imposed
exile, Janis Ian is back. Her
poignant hit single "At Seventeen"

on Nov. 7. Percussionist Billy Cobham (above), who has performed with Miles Davis
and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, comes to Carolina with his own brass sextet on Sept.
19.
has again propelled her into
prominence in the music industry.
Janice Ian's lyrics are sometimes
melancholy, sometimes humorous,
sometimes scathing as she sings of
imaginary romance, social injustice,
or her own past. She will come to
UNC on November 7.
Chick Corea and Return to
Forever
The style of this outstanding jazz
quartet was once referred to as
"flamenco rock 'n roll." Chick Corea
weaves a spirited, acoustic, Latin
sound around a strong jazz base
gained from work with Miles Davis,
Stan Getz, Freddy Hubbard and
others. The band returns to Carolina
on the heels of a well received
performance last year. They will
appear on October 10 at 8 p.m. in
Memorial Hall.
The Captain and Tenille
The most popular song in the
world today is being performed by a
duo which was virtually unheard of
a year ago. Daryl Dragon (the
Captain) and Toni Tenille earned
themselves an A&M record contract
with a song of their own production
entitled"The Way I Want to Touch
You." Their subsequent recordings
of Neil SedakaV'Love Will Keep Us
Together" has meant instant
stardom. Whether their repertoire
contains any songs of substance
other than this one hit remains to be
determined. The Captain and
Tenille will appear at UNC this fall
on a date which is yet to be
announced.
Billy Cobham
Billy Cobham has been tagged as
one of the best percussionists in
America, and with the strong brass
back-up of his jazz sextet, he affords
an evening of solid entertainment.
Cobham's musical background
includes work with Miles Davis and
the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Now,
with his own band, he has cut three
albums, Crusswinds, Spectrum, and
o
n
.hi ir
Total Eclipse, which have propelled
his group to popularity with jazz
rock fans. Cobham will come to
Carolina on September 19.
Luis Rivera Spanish Dance
Company
The Luis Rivera Dance
Company, appearing on October 30
in Memorial Hall, will be the first of
three dance groups to come to
Carolina this year. The troupe,
including pianist, guitarist and three
dancers, will present an authentic
review of the rich Latin art in its
many forms: 1 6 century court music;
classic, modern, and folk dance;
and, of course, the unforgettable
Flamenco.
Bill Russell
To basketball fans, he is known as
one of the most overpowering men
to ever play the pro game. To those
with no interest in sports, he is
merely that big guy who does long
distance telephone commercials.
However, persons of either
persuasion may be surprised to
discover a different Bill Russell on
September 16. Russell istakingtime
off from his job as general manager
and head coach of the Seattle
Supersonics to join the lecture
circuit; and he proves to be an
articulate and informative speaker.
He spices his discussion of drugs,
human rights and social activism
with wit and insight which make for
an enjoyable listening experience.
Who Killed JFK
Recent revelations concerning the
CIA and political assasinations have
raised questions of John F.
Kennedy's death beyond the realm
of mere gossip and rumor and have
pointed to the need for serious
historical re-examination. On
October 21, a program entitled
"Who Killed JFK" will pose some of
these questions and suggest answers
which point strongly toward
conspiracy. The hour and a half
presentation includes hundreds of
slides and the suppressed Zapruder
film, along with an in-depth review
of what investigation has or hasn't
been done in the twelve years since
the assasination.

1776
Soon after the Bicentennial year
begins, Carolina will jump headlong
into the celebration by hosting the
much acclaimed, and much
produced Broadway musical 1776.
The play is set for 8 p.m. January 13
in Memorial Hall. 1776 showcases
the greatness as well as the
shortcomings of the founding
fathers in the sultry Philadelphia
summer during which the nation
was born. An entertainment
triumph, 1776 won a Tony award
and the New York Drama Critics
Circle Award in 1971 as the best
musical of the year.
