MONDAY, APRIL 9, 1979
gets into concert — eventually
By RICHARD OLIVER
Battalion Reporter
From the beginning, it was obvi
ous the crowd was not ready for the
“new England Dan and John Ford
Coley.
:|frlu' group, synonymous with soft,
sensuous love ballads, amazed
Syone Friday night at G. Rollie
White Coliseum with a beating,
driying arsenal of hard rock selec-
tiofts.
For nearly three-fourths of the
show the Aggie crowd sat stone-
fece(! to the vibrating group. Not
that England Dan and John Ford
Coley weren’t charismatic enough
to excite the crowd — they were.
John appeared in a Superman cos
tume, minus the cape, with red
satin pants. He pounded on his
piano and jumped all over the stage
while Dan grimaced and re
lentlessly hammered out song after
song, urging the crowd to “sing it,”
onl\ to be greeted by bewildered
star
Slowly, finally, the crowd began
to Inap out of its daze as the group
poijinded out such songs as “Gam
bler “Well Never Have To Say

to join union
alt ARC plant
|By REGINA MOEHLMAN
Battalion Reporter
[y a bare 10-vote margin, em-
ees at Agency Records Control,
voted Friday to join the Office
Professional Employees Union,
f the 220 employees eligible to
|e, 112 voted in favor of the
f mization, 102 against.
RC, located on the East Bypass,
produces computer record forms,
majority of employees eligible
ote were computer and key
ch operators, computer mainte-
e personnel and shipping and
Jing clerks.
Langford, A Houston repre
sentative of the Office and Profes
sional Employees Union, explained
that though the employees will be
come part of his union, they will
have complete control over their
own local and will make all their
own decisions. The union will only
advise and represent the em
ployees, he said.
^Langford said it would take a
week to ten days to receive certifica
tion from the National Labor Rela
tions Board.
^ftfter that, the union and ARC of-
filials will begin negotiations,
I Lffligford said. He was not sure what
I exact changes the employees would
! ask for.
^Representatives of the union
came to Bryan-College Station last
October at the request of employees
who complained of unfair wage and
pijpmotion practices as ARC.
Employees at ARC are paid on an
incentive wage system. They are
rated for efficiency each month and
the rating they receive determines
their next month’s salary. Em-
plovees complained this causes their
wlges to go up and down.
^■They also complained that an em
ployee can be promoted only if a
silpervisor likes him.
WE)r. Robert Bower, president of
ARC, refused to comment on Fri-
da\ s voting results.
ENGLAND DAN
Goodbye Again” and “I’d Really
Love To See You Tonight.”
Gradually, almost as if they were
afraid to be heard, the crowd re
sponded until everyone was on his
feet clapping and singing.
The band pranced around the
stage and seemed oblivious to the
crowd as they cranked out songs
such as “Rollin’ Fever,” “Movin’ On
Down the Line” and “Maybe To
night.”
At one point, drummer Dan
Gorman and guitarist Bubba Keith
jumped into the crowd to urge the
clappers on. Gorman repeatedly ex
cited the crowd with his on-stage
antics and terrific drum solos, and
Keith was impressive with his ver
satility on the rhythm guitar, bongos
and harmonica. The lead guitarist,
Ovid Stevens, provided a welcome
addition for the hard rock fans by
cooly playing one guitar lick after
another.
Having obviously won the crowd

over, the group returned for a 30-
minute emcore, playing “Runnin’
After You” and “Wendy.”
The opening act, Mac McAnally,
was delightful and charming, and at
one point drew more crowd re
sponse than the headline group.
The crowd cheered enthusiastically
“Your Grandmother’s Mirror,”
“Opinion On Love” and his one hit
single from years ago, “It’s A Crazy
World.” His flair clearly appealed to
the crowd.
After the concert, Dan Seals,
(otherwise known as England Dan,
the brother of Jim Seals of Seals and
Crofts), eased himself into a chair
and sighed heavily. Dressed com-
Review
fortably in a pair of blue jeans and a
loose shirt, he was clearly pleased
with the performance.
“The crowd was great,” he said,
grinning. “I was told they’d just sit
there and listen, and they did for
awhile. I wasn’t expecting them to
hang from the rafters like that.”
Asked the reason for the change
from soft love ballads to hard rock,
Seals laughed and leaned back
thoughtfully.
“Rock and roll is where we came
from,” he said. “The soft stuff was
just a departure for us. Besides,
music is a progression and we have
to keep moving on.”

At that point, John Ford Coley
came in and collapsed in a chair. He
smiled when asked about the crowd.
“Man, I thought they’d be much
more rowdy than that tonight,” he
said. “I was told you all would be
really rowdy, but ...”
Both Seals and Coley were ex
cited about their new album, “Dr.
Heckle and Mr. Jive.”
“This album reflects our musical
change and a little of the difference
between John and me,” Seals said.
“We wanted to change to a harder
rock format on the last album, but
we decided to wait. This album is
for John and me. It’s our way of
doing it.”
As he and Coley got up to leave,
Seals turned and said, “I guess our
way is finally happening.”
Judging by the bewildered crowd
response, I don’t know.
