Oscar winning George Kennedy returns
for Homecoming and guest appearance
Saturday night's per-
formance of the old-time
melodrama "Gold in the
Hills" will feature a special
guest appearance by
former TSU student
George Kennedy.
The Oscar-winning actor
was one of about 800 men
chosen to attend Tarleton
under the Army
Specialized Training
Program during World
War II.
Kennedy became in-
volved in acting after
leaving the service, and
won an Academy Award
for Best Supporting Actor
in "Cool Hand Luke" in
1967. Since then he has done
more than 50 movie and
television productions,
including "The Dirty
Dozen" and the recent
series of "Airport" movies.
He also played in television
series including "Sugar-
foot," "The Blue Knight"
and "Sarge."
He will make a cameo
appearance in Saturday's
play, which is a benefit
hosted by Intermission to
create a scholarship fund
for speech and drama
students.
Harv Barkowsky, Fine
Arts Center director, said
that 200 of Saturday night's
reserved auditorium seats
will be sold at $25 each.
Persons with these tickets
will be invited to a
reception honoring Ken-
nedy and his wife Joan,
who will also attend.
Additional tickets to the
Saturday performance will
be sold at $10, $4 and $2.
Reservations may be made
by calling the Fine Arts
Central Ticket Office at
968-9634.
Dave and Sugar
to end concert season
The country-western
group Dave & Sugar will be
in concert Nov. 5 as
Tarleton's last major
entertainment for the Fall
semester. The concert will
be at 8 p.m. in the gym.
Lead-singer Dave
Rowland and his back-up
vocalists, brunette Melissa
Prewit and blonde Jamie
Kaye, have been making a
steady upward climb
towards the top of the
country-western charts
since organizing in 1975.
After singing for a year
with J.D. Sumner and the
Stamps on Elvis Presley's
tour, Rowland decided to
switch from gospel to
country.
He joined the Four-Guys,
a well-known quartet that
toured with Charley Pride
and appeared regularly at
the Grand Ole Opry in
Nashville.
"It was a very difficult
decision to make,"
Rowland said, "after all,
how many entertainers
leave the biggest and most
successful show in the
world? But I felt my future
was in country music and I
had to get there by
whatever means it took."
Rowland quit the Four-
Guys, however, a year
later because of creative
differences in the music.
Rowland then put together
a country rock group, the
Wild Oates, but it failed.
He was successful,
however, when he framed
himself with two talented
and beautiful young
women. The group's first
album "Dave & Sugar" hit
cont. on p. 7
