campus, a place to gather at noon
and perhaps catch one of the noon
programs or listen to an occasional
speaker

early seventies the area served as a
focal point where political Issues were
holly debated, pickets raised and
demonstrations staged.

'Sgt.  Pepper'-ResponsQ- to a criHc
Not being a music connoisseur.
but merely a casual listener who responds to simple emotions. I am appalled at Mike Fitzgerald's apparent
lack of awareness demonstrated In
his review of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely
Hearts Club Band."
1 have never seen the show —
maybe the Bee Gees can't act and
Prampton's sensuous 1975 sound Is
on the shelf. But to call their music
"forgettable, emotionless.- shows an
Ignorance an Fitzgerald s part of the
massive tremors those musicians
have sent through endless audiences.
Including me.
Mind you. I dent feel compelled
to piaster those Individuals upon my
doset door or Join tons of teenybop-
pers who frequent their respective
concerts. But I admit, before my sister Suzle and all her 13 year old
chums, that to hear the Bee Gee's
"More Than a Woman" or Frampton'a
"Do You PeeT sends goosebumps galore to betray my Jolted hear-
Now I ask you. M.F.. to that not
emotion or do you use a different
dictionary than Suzle and I? You can
discredit the emotional response to
music aa any valid measurement of
Its quality, but you cant deny the
presence of that emotion simply because you don't fed It
p.s. I hope someday that you get
to fed ymsrhumps ewer some corny
song because Mis a real invigorating
experience!
