Folksinger
Sets Show
For Monday
Folksinger Townes Van Zandt will be
presented at 8 p.m. Monday in the Tempo-
rary Union Building, according to Brian
Noble, chairman of the Student Activities
Union Entertainment Committee.
Admission will be 50 cents for those
holding a current NTSU ID card, he added.
Van Zandt, formerly of Fort Worth, lists
his major influences as Elvis Presley and
Lightnin’ Hopkins. Van Zandt was once
quoted as saying that he didn’t remember
much about his childhood except that "I
ran away a bunch of times."
One of the places Van Zandt did run to
was New York City. There, he struggled
to get recognition. Yet, to this date, he
has failed to receive national recognition.
Rolling Stone Maga/.ine said; “Townes’
quiet unassuming voice and guitar come
across like a fresh breeze. And if there
were any justice in this world he would be
a star.”
Van Zandt has recorded three albums
which have merited him much acclaim
from the critics circles and his devoted
fans alike, publicity materials say.
Other artists have recognized his artistic-
ability and have recorded his songs. Elvis
Presley has recorded "Two Hands.” Buffy
Ste. Marie had a hit single with "Mister,
Can’t You See.”

Earl and Son
Before their concert in the Main Auditorium Wednesday night, banjo player
Earl Scruggs and his son Randy tune their instruments backstage. Scruggs'
country rock group, the Earl Scruggs Rovue, made its second appearance
at North Texas. Singers Mary Flower and Katy Moffatt also performed
Various student organizations are spon-
soring four dances during the weekend to
honor Coach Hayden Fry’s squad and to
celebrate the NTSU-Long Beach State
game, which will be played at Fouls Field
Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
The success of the Mean Green Blast-
Off after the UT-Arlington game Sept. 8
has prompted the Student Activities Union
(SAU) and other organizations to sponsor
another postgame dance Saturday at the
Denton Civic Center on the corner of Bell
Avenue and McKinney Street.
Nearly 5,000 people, including UT-
Arlington students, attended the Blast-
Off, which featured music by “The Ulti-
mate Threshold" and free beer.
JIM BOB Jones, assistant director of
student activities, said beer would not be
supplied this time because the party organi-
zers “couldn’t bear the expense.”
l.iquor will be allowed, he added but only
b.y.o.b. (bring your own bottle). Cups,
soft drinks, ice and other materials for
set-ups will be available for a small charge,
he said.
Buses will leave after the game from the
east side of Fouts Field and return to cam-
pus at 2 a.m., when the party ends, for stu-
dents without transportation
"The Ultimate Threshold” will again
provide the music for the dance and Jones
was able to acquire the same sound system
that was used at the Blast-Off. He said
many students said they enjoyed the combi-
nation of the band and the system at the
first bash.

At another party, greased-down hair, old
Chevies and rockin' around the clock with

dents here from SMU and ETSU as well,
and it’s going to be great ”
THE DORM Presidents Council is
sponsoring a free dance for NTSU stu-
dents from 9 p.m. to I a.m. Friday in the
Women’s Gym.

music from the band, “Lo Della ”
J. J. Johnston. Houston junior who last
week was elected president of the Dorm
Presidents Council, announced the plans
for the dance.

Band, Johnston said of "Lo Della's” ef-
fectiveness, "You can't sit down.” He and
other members of the council selected the
band from 10 which auditioned.
TO FI RTHFR promote atheltics on
campus, the Dorm Presidents Council will
regularly post in each dorm a bulletin board
on the player of the week, Johnston added
“We will tell why he was chosen, but we
will also give other information about him,
such as where he is from, his major and his
hobbies,” Johnston said

have a dance in the Women's Gym after
the game, Susie Square, Panhellenic presi-
dent and Alpha Kappa Alpha member,
said. Admission to the dance is 25 cents.
