Mafia Initiate 'Saved' at ACC-Bean
Some really weird things hap-
pen in the lunchllne. I guess be-
cause it is about the only place
where every type of person on
the campus comes together.
One of these strange things
happened last Thursday. I lung-
ed out of my Acts-Revelation
class ran across campus and got
a good place in the lunchllne.
Immediately I smelled the
most enticingly horrible excruci-
atingly palpable interestingly
offensive and downright crummy
odor that I ever slammed into
my nasal tract.
It was sort of like the stinch of
old wet cigarettes stale coffee
Jado East "Bean" Jell-o a licked
postage stamp airplane glue
watery oatmeal a coconut pro-
cessing plant mimeograph ink
and gasoline all mingled togeth-
er with a touch of hamburger
fumes added." It made my eyes
water; my nose felt all puffed
up; and I began to feel like you
do before a semester chemistry
test.
Immediately I traced the
strange odor to the guy in front
of me. I say he was a guy al-
though the smell would make
you think he was Tarzan or
somebody.
His hair looked like an Angora
goat after a hurricane. One side
was three feet long razor cut

Brazilians to
Star at ACC
Two recent additions have been
made to the 1066-67 entertain-
ment schedule on the ACC cam-
pus. Ron Price SA president made
an announcement last week that
the Los Indlos Tabajaros will en-
tertain In March 1967 on the
ACC campus.
Entertaining in April of 1967
wll be William Walker who is a
Broadway musical star.
The Los Indlos Tabajaros are
two internationally known broth-
ers from the jungles of Brazil.
They entertain their audiences
with music of their native coun-
try and popular and classical
music from the United States.
The first part of the brothers'
program normally includes music
from the classical fields. The pro-
gram often divided into three
parts includes the popular South
American music in the second
and third parts.
Exact dates for the two per-
formances have not been set but
the tentative date for the Los
Indlos Tabajaros will be March
21. Walker will probably perform
on campus during the week of
April 17.
