Lettermen Will Kick Off Spring Concerts
THE LETTERMEN”
'OperalionPetticoa t Planned For Second Computer Date
Computer Date Night shall run again. Over the Christmas holidays, USG President Tom Spencer, Junior Class President Stan Stahl, and USG members Scott Posner and Tom Wilson devoted thier energies toward filling out and mailing to all male applicants postcards containing their computer date’s name, ID number and phone extension.
This second handling of the machine match is to rectify last month's ill-fated Computer Date Night and to re-schedule the event for Friday evening. Jan. 7. The information for contacting the lady applicants was supplied with the hope that the pairs could become better acquainted and less insecure before the long-awaited evening.
Free use of the Union swimming pool for the programmed pairs will be provided Friday afternoon and early evening. Mr. Spencer stated that computer daters only would be admitted to the pool and effected by presentation of their postcards
Planned agenda for later in the evening includes two showings of the movie, “Operation Petticoat,” at 8 and 10 p.m. in
the Flamingo the 2nd floor Union.
Auditorium on of the Student
Also planned for the festivities will be a dance beginning at 9 p.m. and lasting till midnight, featuring the Ibis Brothers for the entertainment bill. The dance is scheduled for the Student j Union Patio and the attire is to be casual. All are invited to both the movie showing and the dance,
The Lettermen, award winning singing combo, will kickoff 1966 USG concerts for the student body 8 p.m. Feb. 4, on the Union Patio.
These young performers sing both ballads and popular music in their own fresh style and have become favorites of critics, adults and youth. This is evident by the great demand for their talents from television as well as the record industry.
Letterman albums sell in the millions; their concert tours are sell-outs, and their night club and college dates draw large audiences.
Having previousy appeared at over 350 colleges throughout the ■♦country, the Lettermen are now back on the college circuit.
Forming the Capitol Recording group are Tony Butala, Jim Pike, and Bob Engemann. All three were group vocalists before banding together.
The Lettermen began when Jim auditioned for Tony's singing group. The young men discovered they had a unique blending of voices.
The three got together and “The Lettermen” were bom.
Television comedian George Burns first spotted the letter-sweater trio and gave them their big break. Performing for Red Skelton, Jack Benny, Mike Douglas, and Ed Sullivan, their popularity rose steadily to star standing.
For their seven albums and many singles the men have won several awards, including three Billboards Awards, two Grammy Awards, and two C a s h b o x Awards.
Humor, vocal impressions, and melodies are combined to create the The Lettermen’s routine. Included in their famous songs are favorites such as ‘Come Back Silly Girl’ and ‘A Song for Young Love.’
Si Johnson, USG secretary for entertainment, remarked that this concert is “designed to get the new semester off to a rousing start.”
He also stated that an important announcement concerning a future concert will be made Feb. 4.
Chairs for the USG concert will be provided by the Student Union.

fLock Out ’
The University of Miami HURRICANE and Undergraduate Student Government offices will hold a “lock out" starting Monday Jan. 10. The offices will be closed so that our staffs will be allowed the time needed to prepare for final exams.
It is our united hope that all campus organizations will follow this move and make a “dead week” that would not be in name only.
We also hope that this measure will provide another attempt for the HURRICANE, USG, and other participating organizations to contribute their aid to the entire student body so that they will enjoy a most successful exam period.

Thruston B. Morton, U.S. senator (R.-Ky.), will discuss “Yesterday, Today, and Forever: The Republican Party,” 8 pm. Jan. 10, in the Flamingo Ballroom.
His list of public offices include UJS. representative in the 80th, 81st, and 82nd Congresses, assistant secretary of state from January 1953 to March 1956, and U.S. Senator since 1956.
Morton has also been chairman of the Republican National Committee, chairman of the Senatorial Campaign Committee, and a member of the Republican Policy Committee.
He is a strong advocate of the free press and the right of all people to openly express their views on government pol-

According to Senator Morton, there are three super-secretive “political activist” groups in this country: the Communist Party, the Ku Klux Klan, and the John Birch Society.
He is not worried by the secret fraternities and sororities on the college campuses, however,
“when a political activist group operates under the cloak of secrecy, I am disturbed.”
He continues, “The articulate conservative columnist, William Buckley, with whom I frequently disagree, performs a great service for the country by adding brilliantly to the political dialogue. And he signs his columns, making no attempt at clandestine persua-| sion.
“My Republican colleagues in the Senate represent many degrees of political thought. Their various views all go into the fabric of representative government. They, too, express themselves openly — open to examination and question. They, like Buckley, do not hide things in the realm of public life.”
Senator Morton is the third speaker of the USG Lecture series. The next speaker will he Chief Justice Earl Warren, speaking on “The Supreme Court in America.”
USG urges all students to take full advantage of this year’s excellent Lecture Series.

This is not a formal production as Dr. Fenell pointed out. but it is an educational program designed to stimulate the student.
The UM Orchestra should not be considered professional because of the fact that it is educational and, as Dr. Fenell points out, “This concert is a learning process, always something new will happen and our Orchestra is one of the few college orchestras in the country doing a concert solely for the benefit of its own students.”
