through a group booking,
and doing our concert
would cut down their
touring expenses."
"We try to please," said
Greg Lanham of the SAF
committee. Already
scheduled for the spring
are Eddie Raven and
Louise Mandrell.
When an artist is chosen,
the date set and contract
signed, Smith sends SAF a
publicity package, in-
cluding biographical data
and pictures. Newspapers
are informed and posters
made using the materials
in the package.
At their meeting on
Monday night before a
concert, SAF members
sign work lists of jobs to be
done at the concert.
The day of the concert is
a busy one for SAF
workers. Between 11 a.m.
required to be at the gym at
1:00," said Sherri Wisdom,
SAF secretary. "I get there
at 12:30 to make sure
everyone working gets on
the reserved list."
"The guys help bring
down the amps and sound
equipment and sometimes
even help maintenance
with the rubber floor
mats," Lanham said. "We
don't do anything
technical, but we help set
up the lighting poles and
stage, or move things if
they need help."
"We pull the bleachers
out, center the chairs, rope
off the reserved section and
keep people around to
help," said Wisdom. Other
jobs include making signs
for ticket lines and setting
up tables for sound mixers
and record sales.
Alumni elect officers

Tarleton Alumni
Association elected four

and has served on the
board of directors and as
vice president of the
alumni association. She
will assume the presidency
in 1982.
Les Daniell of
Stephenville was elected

secretary of the alumni
association.

"SAF is responsible for
the work, but we do have
volunteer help," said
Knoll.
"The last two concerts,
we had 50 people show up to
help," said Wisdom, "but
for Dave and Sugar only
about 20 came, which made
it hard,"
When most of the jobs
are done, workers go home
to eat and clean up for the
show, but are required to
be back for a called
meeting at 6 p.m. At these
meetings, SAF members
discuss other concerts with
Smith.
At 6:30 workers go to
their posts, and the doors
open at 7:00. Some workers
stay at their posts until the
concert is half over; others
must leave their seats
periodically to check doors.
"As soon as the show is
over, we reverse the
procedure," said Lanham.
At the end of the job, roll
is called and members are
free to go home. By this
time it is between 10:30 and
llp.m,
"The educational
process isn't just in the
classroom," said Knoll.
"SAF members get up-to-
the-minute reports on
performers and get a
better education of the
concert world."
"It's a lot more than I
thought," said Wisdom,
"but I like it."

Committes recommends probation
Poo unmasked in student scuffle
by Maria Weaver
The TSU Student Ad-
visory Committee held a:
public hearing last Wed-
nesday and recommended
that probationary action be
taken against two TSU
students.
In the meeting, freshman
Mike Smith and sophomore
Barry Parker were ac-
cused by sophomore
Purple Poo member Gary
Coe of "detaining a person
involved in a university-
sponsored activity."
The recommended
charges come as a result of
an altercation occurring
Nov. 9 between the hours of
11 p.m. and midnight.
Apparently Coe, masked,
was putting out Poo signs
and Smith was following
him, said Kevin Mondon,
chairman of the advisory
committee. Smith sup-
posedly asked Coe twice to
put a sign on a tree in the
three-penny triangle and
was ignored by Coe,
Mondon said that Coe put
a sign on the tree and Smith
"grabbed him in a bear
hug." A stuggle ensued and
blows were exchanged.
Witnesses' stories vary as
to who swung first.
Parker and freshmen
Jeff Barlow and Andy
Carter saw the scuffle from
the benches by the fire
hydrant in front of the SUB
and jumped in to break it
up.
During the struggle,
Coe's mask was ripped off,
Mondon said.
No official charges were
brought against Coe, but he
received an unofficial
reprimand for "action not
becoming a student
representing a university
organization."

A NEW-SIZE
HIGH-MILEAGE
PICKUP
It's here! The incredible Chevy S-10. And
you've never seen anything quite like it!
It's longer than the imports, smaller than
a full-size pickup. It has a roomy cab, a
smooth, car-like ride and available V6
power for twice the towing power of any
import pickup! But best of all, S-10 has
higher gas mileage ratings than any of
the best-selling import trucks.
