a 7:30 performance in Hardy
Alumni Hall.
The trio, made up of Sheila
Kerrigan, Jef Lambdin. and

can be tragically realistic.
The visit included a Mime
workshop this afternoon from
4:00-6:00 in the Old Gym, with

twenty-five persons from the
audience who were able to

mime routines.
The trio consists of Kerrigan,
who aspired to be a dancer until
she injured her knee and “fell
into a mime class in ^71,"
according to a press release;
Lambdin, whose fascination for
mime has led him into a study of
its aii8 W'off, «hi> al

and play baseball for the Broi>k
lin IXxigers. The three have
received fine reviews, lauding
their abilitty to comniunicale
their messages through the fine
art of mime.
Touch's repertoire includes
short, simple acts with
quick, non-verbal punch lines,
to more serious, longer swial
statements such as their popular
"America with a Moustache."
Other skits include, "The Au
tomatic Kriend," "The Gar
den," "Sweet Dreams," and an
untitled piecc where a pregnant
lady transfers her pregnancy to
the unknowing father.
Touch will be an experience
which no one will want to miss.

Power: How?
HYDROPOWER:
Friend or Foe?
by Joel Brame
"...It has been estimated that
the global potential of hydro
power is equivalent to all energy
derived from fossil fuels today
(Oliver S. Owen, NATURAL
RESOURCE CONSERVATION
(Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc.
New York, 1975), p. 579).” The
price for this unending energy
alternative, however, may be
just as costly.
The use of water as an energy
source dates back to the ancient
Roman period. Hydropower has
been used extensively in the
U.S. during the nineteenth
century for grinding wheat and
corn, sawing logs, and powering
testile mills along the New
England coast (NATURAL
resource CONSERVATION,
p. 579).
Hydropower is an attractive
source of energy in some re
spects. It is relatively inexpen
sive, inflicts minimal environ
mental abuse, and will never be
Hhausted during human sur
vival on planet Earth, But there
w several drawbacks to this
Mver-ending energy resource.
first, the highest potential for
hydropower exists in many
underdeveloped countries.
These countries, however, lack
many other essentia! resources,
besides not being highly indus
trialized, and thus the prospect
of developing this potential
energy source is bleak.
Second, the life expectancy of
the massive dams that would
need to be built for the develop
ment of hydropower have a
history of being limited because
of the as yet unsolved reservoir
sedimentation problems. Sever
al California dams have been
filled with silt in less than
twenty years, thus ending their
usefulness in the production of
electricity.
Finally, there are some
aesthetic objections to conver
ting some of the world’s wild
streams into chains of man-
made reservoirs. The Colorado
River is already closed to future
dam projects by congressional
mandate (NATURAL
RESOURCE CONSERVATION,
pp. 579-580).
The most recent controversial
hydropower dam project has

several events concerning black

then a movie on Tuesday. The

based in Washington, D.C.,
who have mastered the art of
cornrow hair designs.
Thursday saw an evening
banquet with the main course
being Barbeque Spare Ribs, and
Saturday featured a choir fes
tival, with the A,C, Gospel
Choir, the Revelations, the

the amount of aid is determined
by the Financial Aid Office, on
the basis of need. To be
considered for this aid, the
student must fill out all proper
Financial Aid forms, including
the need analysis.

Another grant determined on
