Concert:
Lab Bands To Present Annual
'Around the Clock' Performance
v
Each lab band will perform in the Spring
Concert at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the Coliseum.
“The I O’Ciock Lab Band plays the fall concert
with a guest artist, and the other bands do not
participate in it, so in the spring concert we have
the bands playing separate numbers,” Ron
Bergan, assistant director of the lab bands said.
The concert will begin with the 8 O’Ciock band,
directed by John Smith, performing “Miss Mis-
souri,” by Benny Carter. The 9 O’Ciock, directed
by Jeff King, will follow with “Checking the Cell
Structure,” by Gordon Goodwin. Next, “A Tube
of Blues,” by Rich Matteson will be performed by
the 8 O’Ciock. The fourth number, "Bright
Eyes,” by Bill Holman, features the 9 O’Ciock.
The 6 O’Ciock, directed by Steve Spencer, will
do the next two pieces. They are “Come Rain or
Shine,” arranged by Bill Stapleton and “Cheap
Talk,” by Steve Owen. The 7 O’Ciock, directed by
Sparky Koerner, will then present “Icarus,” ar-
ranged by Charles Gray and “Cool Aid,” by Paul
Holderbaum.
The 1 O’Ciock will play the final numbers of
the first set. They are “The Song of Iska,” by Bob
Belden; “A Snowfall on 48th Street,” by Paul
Loomis and "Jose’s Initiation,” by Joe Eckert.
Following a short intermission the 5 O’Ciock,
directed by Jim Powell, will play "Straight, No
Chaser," arranged by Rolf Johnson and “Litha,”
arranged by Tod Dickow. The 4 O’Ciock,
directed by Tom Gause, will play "Sunevenus,”
by Mike Smith and “Rats,” by Nick Vincent.
The 3 O'Clock, directed by Rick Stitzel, will
present "Samba Dc Elincia," by Alf Clausen and
"Time Check,” by Don Menza. The 2 O’Ciock,
directed by Jim Riggs, will do "Lisa, Listen to
Me," arranged by John Wasson and "Quiet
Riot,” by Bill Holman.
The I O’Ciock will end the second set with
"Rushing the Growler," by Henry Wolking and
‘Giant Steps," arranged by Bill Stapleton.
George Anderson, bass guitarist in the I
O’Ciock, said, “This concert is definitely a special
one for us. We get to choose the tunes that we
want to play.
“One of the most significant reasons why our
band is maturing,” he continued, "is that we (the
band) mesh together now. The vibes are real good
in our band and that is important. The more the
band is together, the better the sound is."
Leon Breeden, director of the I O’Ciock, is in
California so Bergan is directing the band until
Breeden returns.
The I O’Ciock is scheduled to perform Sunday
in Fort Worth. They will be featured performers
in the “Fort Worth Star Telegram Home Show,"
at 2 p.m. in the Will Rogers Auditorium. Tickets
will be SI.
Band director Sparky Koerner said that all the
bands have grown in sound. "It’s one of the only
chances for the other bands to get exposure,’’ he
said.
“The I O’Ciock is always in the headlines; it’s
not that they don’t deserve it, it’s just that the
other bands don’t get the exposure they deserve.
There are some good bands here Koerner said.
Tickets for the concert are S3 general admission
and $2 for student or faculty. Tickets at the door
are S3.

Visits Campus Today
By MICHAEL CINELLI
Daily Reporter
Democratic Senate candidate Joe
Christie will meet with students from 5
to 6:30 p.m. today in the Kerr Hall
cafeteria
A recent NT telephone survey in-
dicated an interest in the Christie cam-
paign, Michel Smyth, coordinator of the
Campus Christie Committee, said
Thrusday.
Christie lasted visited campus in
February to begin his campaign, and
decided to pay another visit to NT when
he recieved the figures from a telephone
survey his campus committee conducted
last week, Smyth said.
Athlete Receives
Jury Indictment
A Denton County grand jury returned
an indictment Thursday afternoon
against James McCurin, Fort Worth
sophomore, on charges of kidnapping.
McCurin, an NT football player, was
arrested March 23 and formally charged
with aggravated kidnapping.
Clinic Plans
Treatment
For Insomnia
Students suffering from insomnia can
now receive free treatment as the Sleep
Clinic located on the second floor of the
Student Health Center.
The Sleep Clinic, operated by Steve
Logsdon, Universal City graduate stu-
dent, is a medically controlled ex-
perimental program, set up to test which
drugs are the best treatment for insom-
Participants will be asked to take
medication for a period of three days.
Reactions to the drug will be carefully
monitored and participants will be re-
quired to keep daily records.
"People who are having sleeping
problems of any kind should come by,”
Logsdon said.
Hours for the Sleep Clinic are Mon-
day 3 to 4 p.m. and Tuesday through
Friday, 3.30 to 4:30 p.m.
Kidnapping is a second degree felony
that carries a punishment of 2-20 years
and/or a $10,000 fine.
University police Sgt. Vic L.auderdale
said McCurin was picked up in the
Crumley Hall parking lot at 9:20 p.m.
March 23.
McCurin alledgedly held Temple
junior Barbara Lynn Geiger against her
will, "threatening to use force...with in-
tent to violate and abuse sexually,” ac-
cording to formal charges on file
"I can’t make any statement about
litigation under consideration,” Denton
attorney Bob Eames said Thursday
afternoon. “I do know he is out on bail
and back at school."
Eames’ first action was to file a writ of
habeas corpus before Judge Scofield,
petitioning the court to reduce Mc-
Curin’s bond from $20,000 to $2,500.
Judge Scofield granted the reduction
in bail, and McCurin was released from
the county jail last week, Eames said.
“Since then I have talked with the school
attorney to make sure he would be al-
lowed back into classes, and it is my un-
derstanding that he is back into classes
University officials would not com-
ment on McCurin’s current status.
“That is his own private infor-
mation," Barbara Jungjohan of the
Dean of Student's office said. "Every
student has his right to privacy and
anything that happens to a student on
this campus is information belonging to
the student.
McCurin’s case could be tried in June,
Eames said. "A date will not be finalized
until the end of April,” he said.
Students Perform Cultural Dances
International Night Concludes Week-Long Celebration
By TSANG KUO-JEN
Daily Reporter
Students from seven countries per-
formed their native dances for an
audience of more than 600 at Inter-
national Night Wednesday-
But few if any of the people who at-
tended realized how much etlort was ex-
pended in preparation for the show.
Indian graduate student Shirish Jam
worked almost 30 hours during the three
weeks before the performance,
choreographing a group dance. Jani and
five friends spent every weekend rehears-
ing and making costumes for their six-
minute dance.
NOT ONLY DID Jam work in
preparing the dance, but he also helped
the International Programs Office
provide Indian refreshments. He asked
five Indian women to spend Wednesday
afternoon preparing Bhajia, a popular
Indian dessert.
“It’s so important for me to share my
culture with my American friends," Jani
said. "I really want people to enjoy what
we snow mem. it’s a cuiiurai exchange
through the dance and food we
provide," he said.
Jani and his friends performed a clas-
sic Indian dance, Raas, which is danced
to celebrate the coming of spring and 'X-
press hope for a good harvest season.
An Arabian dance was performed by
Denton graduate student Carla
Thompson and her students. She danced
around the room and invited members
of the audience join in the dance with
her students.
"I love belly dance because it can ex-
press my feelings and my response to the
music,” Ms. Thompson said.
MS. THOMPSON SAID the belly
dancer, unlike the ballet dancer, needs
me audience s response, i iove people
to share the dance with me," she said. "I
want to control my audience as far as the
response goes."
She always circulates around the
audience, and dances with them. "The
belly dance is spontaneous, not
choreographed," she said.
A classic dance from Thailand was
performed by Thailand graduate student
Sukanya Sinprasong, who learned the
dance when she was a child.
She said the dance emphasized finger
and foot movements. Each movement
has a special meaning.
EIGHT TURKS performed Turkish
music and dances. “Yaylalar," a
Turkish wedding dance which they
presented, was developed over two thou-
sand years ago.
The Turkish dancers wore shoes
shaped like boats make of camel skins.
The women wore three skirts each and
scarves like those once used to cover
their faces. The men wore black pants.
Mexican dancers presented La Raspa,
a dance with a strong tempo in which the
dancers beat the floor in time with the
music. The audience was invited to
dance with the Mexican women during
the show.
From the student directory 170 names
were selected at random and called.
Following results of students’ opin-
ions, Christie made plans to bring his
campaign back to Denton to make an
appeal to students for their votes, Smyth
said.
Telephone survey volunteers asked
students two questions Smyth said.
• If the democratic primary was held
today would you vote for Joe Christie or
Richard Krueger?
• If the November general election
was held today who would you vote for
in the U.S. Senate race? Joe Christie,
Richard Krueger, or incumbent Sen.
John Tower?
Smyth said the results from the first
question showed 30 percent of the stu-
dents preferred Christie, 25 percent
Krueger and 45 percent were undecided
or planned to vote in the Republican
primary.
In response to the second question, an
equal number of students chose Tower
and Christie, Smyth said; both can-
didates received 21 percent of the stu-
dents perference vote. Krueger received
19 percent, while 39 percent either had
no opinion or were undecided.

Water Line Split Leads To Preventive Repair
Installing water valves with protective concrete box is a preventative
maintenance project underway at the southwest corner of the University Union,
Delbert Overstreet, director of the Physical Plant, said Wednesday.
The project results from a recent split in the water lines connecting both the
Administration Building’s and the University Union’s air-conditioning systems
to a cooling tower, he said.
Maintenance men found it necessary to turn off the cool water supply coming
from the tower that lies southwest of the Administration Building, during repair-
ing of the split. Overstreet said.
This meant cutting off the air-conditioning water supply to both buildings.
“We had no way to isolate the split," he said.
The newly installed water valves in water lines running between these two
buildings will help to isolate this water supply in the future, Overstreet said
