Diamond Studs is without a doubt the finest, happiest, singing-cst show I've ever seen in these parts, and it'd be mighty hard to name a better one I've ever seen anywhere else. C.C. Porkbarrel, former banker and published author, is proudly presenting this incredible Horse Opera in Two Acts with the fine help of the Southern States Fidelity Choir, the Red Clay Ramblers, the OK Corrale and a couple of stragglers. I wouldn't hesitate to recognize it as the Great American Musical that everybody's been waiting for. Jim Wann and Bland Simpson are probably two of the most outstanding living talents that have ever graced the stage, and if their play doesn't make it in the bigtime, I'll be mighty surprised. Wann not only wrote the music and lyrics with Simpson, but he also put the story together, and on top of that, he plays the guitar and the main character, Jesse James. And Simpson, besides playing a mighty fine piano, passes himself off as everybody from Governor Crittendon of Missouri to Pancho Villa of Mexico. I tip my hat to both of them, and would feel deeply honored to shake their hands. They apparently got some fine help from the right honorable John L. Haber, who directed the thing, and Patricia Birch, who staged the musical numbers. The whole show moves with the power of a locomotive, and these two people evidently were shoveling most of the coal into the stoker. The whole gang of players is goddamn remarkable. If they don't sing with a goldenrod voice, they make up for it with some fancy pickin or poundin. It appears that most of them can do just about everything. Along with Jim and Bland, the other people in the show deserve a load of special praise, Madelyn Smoak as Miss Belle Starr stole the heart of every real man in the house, and won the respect of every lady with her song I Don't Need a Man to Know I'm Good." Seems that she did some thigh-thumpin' with old Cole Younger who's played by Thommy Thompson, a veritable mountain of a fellow. He also portrays Jesse's momma in some scenes, and I can't say there was a moment when I "The Pedestrian" Maximilian Sc hell's impressive drama of Nazi guilt was applauded at the London Rim Festival and nominated for a Best Foreign Language Oscar last year. (Plaza 3, at 3:10, 5:10, 7:10 and 9:10 p.rru, $2.25.) 'The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz" The most successful Canadian film in history has proved to be an equally popular success In America and at the Berlin Film Festival a few months ago, where It won first prize.

John Foley as Bob Ford has a special kind of sinister magic. Although he plays the most despicable guy in the show, he never stoops so low as to be a run-of-the-mill villain. His final scene with Jesse is a classic Rick Simpson is great as Jesse's brother, Frank, and his stage presence is remarkable. Mike Sheehan bangs a mean set of drums, announces parts of the show, leads the Federales in Mexico, and does a fine job as the legendary Allan Pinkerton, rotten detective. Jim Watson sings many a good song and unfortunately gets locked up in the same jail with Bob Ford. Cindy Gooch Huntley is angelic and sweet-voiced as Jesse's wife, and Frances Tamburro, the third member of the female trio, dances wildly across the stage with a rose in her teeth. , Jan Davidson, Bill H icks, M ike Cravcr and Scott Bradley make up the rest of the on-stage set, and there's not a sour note in the group. There are barroom beauties who wander around the saloon and the perfect final touch to the environment. For a coupla hours 1 was truly transported into a happier time in the Wild West of the eigh teen-hundreds. . Most of the songs are foot-stompers; some are old familiars, and some are newly composed. It's often hard to tell which are which, but the show-stopping numbers are the originals. The Messrs. Wann and Simpson can only be thanked kindly for filling in some of the gaps in our folk music with songs like "These Southern States That I Love," "Northfield Minnesota," and "Saloon Piano." Unlike a lot of musicals you'll find these days, this one even has a good book, with the life of Jesse James as its plot. The jokes are actually funny, and the talented invention which went into all aspects of the production is especially evident in the dialogue. - I maybe should have hesitated before I went hog-wild and praised this show to the hilt, but even with the highest of expectations, you couldn't be the -least bit disappointed. If you'd begun, to think that the theatre in these parts was dying fast, then Diamond Studs will surely change your mind. You may have to fight or kill for a ticket, but I suggest you do, for if it isn't a national phenomenon real soon, it'll surely be a legend in its own time. Money Continued from page 1 was $1,407,904; and by fiscal year 1974, had risen to $1,932,987. Geer expects another increase in federal funds this year, but fears that federal budget cutbacks may prevent this increase from being sufficient to meet the increasing need. - "If one could predict," said Geer, 1 am convinced that next year is going to be a difficult year for students." Geer sees inflation as causing only a part of the increased demand for student aid. The other part, he feels, is accounted for by a general increase in enrolled students from low-income families. This is a trend he hopes, and expects, to continue, but which amplifies the strain on the aid office. Because most aid comes in the form of loans, not all needy students are anxious for help from the financial aid office. Jim Haney, a sophomore, received assistance last year but cancelled it this year. "Right now I'm already in debt $400 to the University, and it stifles my whole future," said Haney. "When I get out of school I'd like to be free to try some different things, and the pressure to pay back this debt will be forcing me to get a job when 1 get out and try and pay back the loan." Haney is now earning $2.25 an hour working at the Bio-Statistics Computer Center in the School of Public Health. Although this job eliminates most of his Tflil ITKsllTftD IflitMflr ton!) (o8(!

These loans are to be repaid with 3 per cent interest over a ten-year period after the student's graduation. Students are better at paying their debts than most people, Geer said, adding that his office collects on nearly all its loans. Failures to repay are usually the result of death or occasionally, bankruptcy. One million dollars was also awarded in scholarships during 1973-74, and approximately $500,000 was appropriated in the form of grants. In addition to loans, scholarships and grants, the student aid office sponsors a work-study program in which students work 5 to 15 hours per week, undergraduates receiving $2 an hour and graduates, $2.50. Last year 1328 students participated in the program and earned an average of $441, and a total of $586,0 1 8.

Short term emergency loans are also available to students who develop unforeseen financial problems during the year. For the most part, Geer feels his office is fulfilling its obligation.
