Anthony and the Imperials,
the Showmen, the Impacts, and
the Inmates highlight the docket
for the St. Andrews Fall Fling
Week-end, November 1-3.
Opening the activities will be
Anthony and the Imperials (for
merly known as Little Anthony
and the Imperials,but now he’s
grown up) in concert in the
gymnasium. The concert begins
at 8:30 p.m., on Friday. Ad
mission Is $1.50 perpersonora
student activity card.
For ballads, beat, rhythm and
pop--to go along with their
frenetic dancing ability and Just
the proper dash of light humor—
there probably is no other young
adult cate act around today,
which grew out of the hot rock
era of the 1950’s to match
Anthony and The Imperials.
Successful since 1958 when as
Little Anthony and The Im
perials they rushed the record
heights with their initial
million-selling disc, “Tears On
My Pillow”, Anthony Gourdine,
Ernest Wright, Clarence Col
lins and Samuel Strain, intelli
gently realizing the overall Im
portance of p r e s entatlon and
performance , finally decided
that they were in showbusl-
ness-for good.
To that end. In 1966 they
dropped the adjective “Little”
from their billing to project to
College Union Meet
Sparks Redefinition
By Ted McCormack
SCB President
On October 13, 1968, the
Association of College Unlons-
International, Region 5 Con
ference met for its yearly as
sembly at Montreat-Andrewson
sembly at Montreat-Anderson
College in Montreat, N. C. In
addition to the five members
of the St. Andrews delegation
there were delegates from 50
colleges and universities in
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Virginia, Tennessee, and Ken
tucky.
The purpose for coming to
Montreat was to discuss the
problems, possibilities, and the
futures of their respective col
lege unions. This was carried
out at both the formal and in
formal level in group discus
sions and regular meetings.
Besides the main address given
by the national head of ACU,
we heard reports about the
coffee house circuit, the Na
tional Entertainment Con
ference (block booking), movie
presentations, and theACU
games program.
The St. Andrews Student Cen
ter Board came back from the
conference with the rude
awakening that our college union
program is one of the weakest
of any college represented at
the conference. Schools smaller
than we are have a more vital
and far-reaching program for
the WHOLE student body, and
they accomplish it on a smaller
budget than we have. We dis
covered that too much of our
time, energy, and budget goes
into “big name” entertainment
($2,000 or more), and we have
to decide to reexamine our
budget allotments for spring.
Our whole union program lacks
in many areas, some being the
educational function of the
union, small-time entertain
ment, and our all-around ability
to reach a majority of stu
dents, faculty, and staff.
A decision we made as a
result of thg conference was
to Join the North Carolina
coffee house circuit. By paying
a fee to Join, we are entitled
to “book” as many as 3 per
formers a semester for Far
rago. These entertainers are
new to the business, but have
talent and a good show, and
just need to get some ex
perience. After we choose who
we want among those screened
for us by the Bitter-End Club
in New York, the performers
will come to St. Andrews, live
in the dorms for a week, and
put on two shows a night; all
for a reasonable price. This
is especially attractive to small
schools with limited resources
and outside attractions. When
we found out that Josh White,
Jr. started out on the circuit,
we were sold on the idea.
One final thing that we learned
at the conference was that St.
Andrews College Union cannot
ever accomplish what it needs
or wants to do without two very
important things; a College
Union Director, not a Decker,
Overholser, or aDove, but
someone whose full-time job is
to run our college union; and a
seperate student fee for college
union activities ALONE. We
hope that in the very near future
these twothings can come about,
for It will help the problem of
the St. Andrews Union a great
deal. \ /'
We will be trying tlLryear
to expand our activitles:c reach
a larger majority of h ! stu
dents, reduce our speid ng on
large, expensive entertili ment,
and to redefine our roll as a
college union.
