During the show he stood still lit

hopping around the stage; when he

was singing.

the whole band on their toes trying
to keep up.
Thornton’s band is probably his
strongest asset. Every musician is
excellent and each adds something
important to the overall sound of
the group.
Kim Hayley played a fast, solid
bass guitar; Gerald Hunt added a
touch of spice with a crisp lead
guitar; Larry Harticer kept up the
rapid rhythm on drums, and Dave
Perkoff rounded things out with a
startling assortment of instruments,
mostly saxophone and flute.
All the band nembers were in
teresting to watch, but T. Gosney
was the real show. He’s one of those
Movie Review
musicians that you never tire watch
ing because he obviously enjoys
what he’s doing.
It must have been difficult for
Thornton to play enthusiastically to
such a small crowd, but it didn’t
show in his performance. He talked
to the audience, told jokes and
stories between songs, clowned
around with the other musicians
when he wasn’t singing, swung his
guitar sharply to the quick beats and
generally kept up a display of per
petual motion.
His voice helped too. Clear and
smooth, it changed from song to
song just enough to fit the mood of
each number.
The songs were tight and well-
executed. There was very little
wasted music in any of the songs.
Whether credit should go to the in
dividual musicians or Thornton, is
unclear, but each was necessary for
the general atmosphere that was
created.
T. Gosney Thornton may not
have added a huge number of people
to his following last night, but the
ones he did add are probably there to
stay.

Learn hints
to avoid wrinkles
United Press International
NEW YORK — “With today’s
microscopes you can see wrinkles
programmed genetically on a two-
week-old baby’s skin, ” says a noted
English-born beauty and authority.
“Wrinkles are inherited the same
way we inherit our bone structure,
our coloring and our personality,”
says Shirley Lord, writing in a new
book on beauty published by Culli-
gan.
“A lifetime of exposure to rough
weather, or a lifetime of bathing in
hard water, will certainly lessen the
chance of those genetically pro
grammed wrinkles staying out of
sight.

The Memorial Student Center
rinting lab was clean and or-
anized. There was no paper on the
ibles or floor. To the left, a counter
ivided the lab from the office area.
Posters lined the walls — ranging
om the 1974 “Clockwork Orange’’
lovie poster to a 1977 “Day of the
)olphin” poster.
The rhythmic clucking of the
rinting machine was the only noise
n the room.
“Two years ago, the Graphic Arts
b was in shambles,” said Donna
Wton, lab manager. “It wasn’t used
muse it wasn’t organized.”
Hal Gaines, associate director of
he MSC, said the lab really didn’t
ixist before the manager’s job was
ireated in 1974.
VVe saw that the Graphic Arts lab
iad great potential and felt we
ihould put it to use,” he added.
[That is why we hired Donna.”
The Graphic Arts lab prints post
ers, announcements and door cards
for any University-recognized or
ganization. The committees of the
MSC Directorate use the lab to ad
vertise their events.
The lab is open five days a week,
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Student or
ganizations may use the lab’s paper
cutter and paper folding machine.
“The students resented me at first
because I told them it was going to
be organized and run on a ‘first
come, first served’ basis,” Norton
said.
“As we became more organized,
we earned more money, so we could
buy new machines and keep supplies
in stock.”

Parrot smuggling grows rapidly
more to smugglers, pound for
United Press International
SAN DIEGO — How to spot an
illegal alien parrot: He has a hang
over, is dizzy and won’t go near a hub
cap.
Parrot smuggling over the U.S.
border from Mexico has been grow
ing rapidly in recent years, mainly
because animal health rules make it
difficult to legally import parrots
and similar birds. A pair of cock
atoos worth $200 in Mexico can be
sold in the United States for
$10,000, making the birds worth
pound, than marijuana.
Harold Diaz, regional director of
investigations for the customs serv
ice in Los Angeles, talked about the
growing problem and some of the
tricks of the parrot-smuggling trade.
Unlike most contraband, parrots
talk and must be kept quiet during
the crucial border crossing.
A standard method, Diaz said, is
to get the parrot drunk on tequila-
soaked corn. Tranquilizers or other
drugs are also used.
