STRANGERS ON A TRAIN
A tennis star (FARLEY GRANGER) and a millionaire's son (ROBERTyWALKER)
meet by chance on a train and a casual conversation turns into a friendly
trade of "you murder for me, I'll murder for you." A dizzy finish on a carousel
that is guaranteed to shake you up. From the classic crime novel by Patricia
Highsmith.

The Office of Major Events announced
that Judy Collins will appear in
tomorrow evening's Hill Auditorium
Concert totally nude. "Nothing at all.
Birthday Suit," said a spokesperson.
"She toned up a lot recently, and is very
proud of her new body."
Collins, who has posed partially nude
on the cover of her latest album, was
discouraged because the totally nude
shot was pulled from the presses.
Promoters knew that some stores
would refuse to carry the disc if Judy's
charms were fully revealed. This set-
back has not stopped the rejuvenated
folksinger from promoting the new
shapely figure, and her entire concert

MICHAEL CAINE in (What's it all about ...) A LF IE
MICHAEL CAINE is perfectly hateful as the ultimate cad; alternately endear-
ing, weak, selfish and above all, despicable. Alfie's shrewd observations of
mankind, and his philosophies about women are communicated not only in
his actions, but in the form of personal asides to the audience. The curious
result of which is the extension of the film's illusory space into ours and vice
versa. "What's it all about . ." Superb sound track by Sonny Rollins.

Roger Visits the Bus
NOTICED, while walking through the Diag the other day, that there
were many students on their way to class, presumably to take notes and
listen to professors. How queer that all classes should let out at once, and
everyone moves about in the same ten minute interval.
And what about Dr. Diag? I mention him because it always gets a
laugh.
What better way to spend a Friday night than riding the commuter buses
reading all the compendious and cogent graffiti marked on the backs of seats
with scissors or sharp object? I can imgaine no other brand of fun.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK at one of the North Campus buses. "Joe," one en-
terprising student has carved, no doubt because his name was Joe or some-
thing. Could be worse, fella. Hang in there. If anyone knows who Joe is or
what is his claim to fame, please write to me so I can folow it up.
Choice items from the front of the bus include a teasing "Johnathan
plus ???," "Smoke Dope," and the gut-busting "The women at this univer-
sity are uglier than hell." And how can we resist applauding the person or
persons who left "D.B." all over the advertisement boards? What a rare
treat it all is.
If your parents come to visit you, take them on a bus ride and let them
read the graffiti. You'll laugh until you weep, as I did, and they'll realize the
tuition is all worth it.

is crucial to the development of new
musical techniques, and the entire or-
chestra is to be applauded.
Wise people will buy this album
eagerly, realizing, as the jacket points
out, that it costs less than the average
toy.

The Craftsmen Orchestra and

By EARNEST
"HEAVY DUTY" HOOK
Though touted as a children's
album, the Craftsmen Orchestra and
Chorus have come out with an album
which can be enjoyed by all ages and by
those with widely varying musical
tastes. Kiddie Favorites boasts a
generous selection of favorite nursery
songs and children's jingles sure to
thrill any listener, as well as a skillful
engineering job as accomplished as any
on vinyl today.
Not only do the Craftsmen provide
the delightful melodies and lyrics which
often tell thought provoking and
challenging stories, they also insert
sections of tight narrative which bring
the entire record to life. The entire
production is very crisp and fast paced,
ideal for party listening or even one of
those rainy days when you have friends
over for a beer.
A GOOD EXAMPLE of the stunning
richness of this album is the number
one hit single, "The Muffin Man,"
which was banned from airplay in
many areas because of its outrageously
sexual lyrics:
My Momma buys muffins from the
muffin man
The muffin man, the muffin mon
My Momma buys muffins from the
muffin man
Who lives in Drury lane.
Certain traditionalists might be of-
fended by the up-tempo, practically
"New Wave" approach which the Craf-
tsmen have taken toward songs like
"Pat-a-cake" and the immortal
"Chicken Licken," but such innovation
Just for the
health of it.

Singer-Songwriter Billy Joel, tired,
