“Flash” Is Alive And
Well In A Time Warp
“Flash Cadillac and the Contenental Kids” came to town last Saturday.
They didn’t show up in a 1950 Cadillac, but instead in a 1973 Mercury station
wagon and a oversized and overstuffed van.
They kicked around back stage before showtime, like all bands kick around
before showtime, while Chris fretted out in front and while Tom kept walking
around tieing up the loose ends.
“Hotspur” played, and begged to play an hour instead of 45 minutes. They
anticipated the good crowd and wanted to get in some originals along with bits
and pieces of their “Yes” and “Tull” material. They came on strong with
that, too. Right off the bat they got to the crowd with “Round About”, They
finish in frenzie, too, with Joe Cocker’s version of “A Little Help From My
Friends,” That brought the crowd to its feet and brought “Hotspur” back to the
bandstand,
Jimmy (The Crook) Coppolla took it from there, along with the other candi
dates for King of the Hope, He won, and the crowd almost lost when, in his
excitement and in his jubilation he nearly ruined a perfectly good seven hundred
dollar amp. But that got taken care of and the house went black.
The Continental Kids were ready. Chris was ready — she couldn’t have stood
it much longer, Tom was trying to remember his lines and the crowd was eager
ly awaiting six swingers from California to come out and transport the whole
“coleseum” back to the '50’s, That’s what they got. From the first number,
through the George Washington joke, past the submarine races, right on past all
the gig fingers and the “boogies”, right past the elephant hooker, and through
some songs like “Tell Laura I Love Her”, “At the Hop,” “While Lotta
Shakin’ ”, Everette Gym, for all general purposes, was transported back to the
’50’s for about an hour and a half of good old rock and roll music.
Tom was worried about everyone would start dancing and no one could see.
Which brings on the point that there was much going on that one didn’t know
which side of the stage to watchwhen. But the crowd did fine, and the band could
tell they were itching to get on their feet and kick a little. So the “Kids” brought
them up, worked them into a frenzie played past their contracted time and then
said goodnight, only to meet the crowd a little later at the Retreat,
We got what we wanted , , , good rock and roll music with a touch of realism,
with a touch of off color amusement, with the spirit of fun permiating the whole
place. They loved it. The crowd loved it.
After it was all over Chris signed a big sigh of relief and the Commission
started worrying about Homecoming and getting some more money, (See editorial

Trustees to receive resolution
Campus heads urge liquor
EDITOR’S NOTE: Reprinted
from The U, T, Dally Beacon,
student newspaper of The Uni
versity of Tennessee, October
2, 1972,
By CHARLES JOHNSON
Student government leaders from the
five UT campuses worked through the
summer on a resolution concerning
student use of alcoholic beverages on
university property.
The resolution, which is to be
presented to two committees of the
Board of Trustees by the five on Oct.
19, asks that students be allowed to
possess and consume alcoholic beverages
in their living quarters.
THE RESOLUTION reads as
follows:
Whereas: 95 percent of the
student body of the
University of Tennessee
by virtue of the new
l^al age ruling are
adults, thereby subject
to all privil^es and
responsibilities of legal
adulthood,
Whereas: We consider the rights of
privacy of the student
renting livii^ quarters
from the University the
equivalent of that
person renting any living
quarters.
Whereas: Above statement has
consistently been
applied to fraternity
houses and other
equivalent rented
property of the
University of Tennessee,
Therefore, We, the elected
representatives of the student
bodies of five campuses of the
University of Tennessee—
Chattanooga, Knoxville, Martin,
Memphis, and Tullahoma, hereby
resolve that a new policy
permitting possession and
consumption of alcoholic
beverages in students’ private
dwellings in accordance with state
law should be adopted by the
Board of Trustees of the
University of Tennessee.
The resolution is signed by Kathy
Gomes, SGA President at UT
Chattanooga, Karl Schledwitz, Student
Senate President at UT Knoxville, Ron
Simmons, SGA President at UT Martin,
Mel Blevins, SGA President at UT
Memphis, and Frank lannuzzi, SGA
President at UT Tullahoma.
Schledwitz said the student body
presidents net in Nashville last July and
drafted the resolution. “We then wrote
every major Southern university to find
out what their policies were about the
use of alcohol,” Schledwitz said.
“Results of this showed that every
major institution in the South already
had a policy similar to the one we
drafted and that since the enactment of
such a policy had no more problems
and a few had less.”
AFTER THE STUDENT body
presidents talked to many board
members individually soliciting support
