On the outside elsewhere
The weeks of anticipation are finally over. Spring break has arrived.
It's time to throw aside the books and kick off your boots. The trickle of
college students driving down I-75 towards the sunshine and palm
trees in Florida soon will become a deluge, while others are destined
for the comforts (and perhaps colder weather) of home. According to
the weather observer at the Department of Atmosphere and Oceanic
Sciences, 1-75 will be clear all the way today, but tomorrow's
travellers may encounter rain in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and
Tennessee. The week's weather'in Dayton also looks wet, with a chan-
ce for thundershowers until Tuesday. No major storms for the West,
but rain clouds continue to hang over the East. The high tem-
peratures: Daytona Beach, 730; Fort Lauderdale, 800; Los Angeles,
65; New York, 480; and San Francisco, 610. And the forecast for Ann
Arbor: rain.

Take ten
On March 2, 1969, members of the Literary College (LSA) faculty
met to discuss a settlement over the five-month debate on the school's
language requirement. Those talks eventually resulted in the creation
of the Bachelor of General studies degree which is currently offered by
LSA and requires no language credits.

BADLANDS
A brilliant first movie that established its young writer-producer-director as
a major American talent. MARTIN SHEEN gives a critically acclaimed per-
formance as Kit, a young man who, kills his girlfriend's father when he
disapproves of'their relationship. Adapted from an actual case, the film
probes the minds of the two teenagers and the reaction of the nation to
their cross-country escape and killing spree. A remarkable examination
of violence and terror in America. With SISSY SPACEK. (95m)

By VICKI HENDERSON
Following spring break, University
students will again be able to hear a
variety of local musicians perform once
a week at the Sound Stage Coffee House
in the Michigan Union.
The Union Programming Committee
(UPC) and the Music School will
present local jazz, blues, and folk
musical talent at the Sound Stage
beginning March 15 and continuing
every Thursday night through the win-
ter term.
"We're looking for jazz, blues and
folk music," says UPC member Jenny
Schuman of the coffee house program.
Auditions were held yesterday at the
Music School.
Sound Stage began last term when
Pete Sexton, a Music School senior, and
Jon Diamond, a junior majoring in
economics, "got talking" and realized
that many non-Music School students
felt uncomfortable practicing only at
the Music School.
"They felt funny going out to North
Campus," Sexton said. Thetwo studen-
ts approached Music School Dean Paul
Boylan with the idea of giving students
a place to perform on Central Campus
in a coffee house atmosphere. "He
really liked the idea and gave us the
backing we needed," said Sexton. "The
lusic School, contributed $100 and UAC
oentributed another $150.
"Last tern we had some very good

talent," Schuman said. "It gave people
a chance to perform, which is hard to
come by for non-Music School students,
and a chance to try some of their things
on an audience."
"Although much of last term's talent
was good, the performers lacked a
strong audience, which is important for
the Coffee House's success, Schuman
said.
Last term, coffee house sponsors had
to rent a public address system. But
this semester the Music School is pur-
chasing a sound system for the Sound
Stage and the Music School's Jazz
Band. The Jazz Band also will hold a
fund-raiser for the new sound system on
March 17 in the Union Ballroom.
"If Sound Stage is successful this
term, it may be extended into the
spring term," Schuman said.
"We're hoping that it will gain some
momentum. I can see it becoming a big
thing. Students can't go to bars
anymore. Sound Stage won't be
charging a cover and there's genuinely
good music."

Things that go bump on the road
There ate as many potholes in American roads as there are miles
between the earth and the sun, accrding to an estimate by the nation's
highway construction industry's Road Information Program (RIP).
American motorists will swerve around or bounce over 93 million
potholes this winter and spring, claims RIP. The RIP survey of 20
states revealed that drivers will encounter an average of "49 potholes
per mile for all paved roads in the country." Every minute 354
potholes are born, says RIP, and they average 16 inches in diameter
and five inches in depth. The cycles of warm-cold-warm weather
prevalent this time of year cause moisture in the road surface to ex-
pand and contract, thus breaking up the surface. According to the sur-
vey, Texas has the highest number of potholes, with 82 million. Ohio
