Yarbrough concert features versatility, variety
Tickets have been on sale
c; the last two weeks for the
Glenn Yarbrough concert
tomorrow evening at the
Coliseum. The show starts at
8 p.m.
Yarbrough is known for
the variety and versatility of
his songs. On the one hand
he sings love songs and
ballads with a warm, mellow
tenor, but he also sings songs
like his hits "Baby the Rain
Must Fall" and "It's Gonna
Be Fine" that have the up-beat
quality of today's popu-ular
music.
He is described as having
an incomparable voice, im-peccable
taste and musical
integrity.
Formerly the lead voice
with. the Limelighters, Yar-brough
broke with them over
two years ago to strike out on
his own. Last summer Yar-brough
appeared at San
Francisco's Hungry i and
broke the house record that
the Limelighters had previ-ously
held.
More recently he played a
week long engagement with
Phyllis Diller in Anaheim,
Calif., and has appeared on
"Hullaballo" and the "Danny
Kaye Show."
RCA HAS recorded five
Yarbrough Albums and several
singles. In addition he appears
on several commercials, in-cluding
those for Coca-Cola,
Folger's Coffee and Ford. He
has also formed a music
publishing company called
Stanyan Music Company with
song writer Rod McKuen, who
composes many of Yarbrough's
songs.
Before his singing career
began, Yarbrough attended
St. John's College in Anna-polis.
The army interrupted
his studies but in 1955 he
entered Mexico City College
where he studied classical
Greek and pre-Socratic philo-sophy.
His first professional ap-pearance
as a singer was at
the Gate of Horn in Chicago
in 1956. Until the Lime-lighters
organized in 1959 he
worked as a single performer
in night clubs across the
nation.
YARBROUGH'S personal
life revolves mainly around
his four boats. One of them,
The Pilgrim, was The Tiki
on T.V.'s "Adventures in
Paradise." The Pilgrim is
currently being used as a
charter cruiser out of Jamaica.
Plans are under way to use
the profits from the charter
service to finance a school
for underpriviliged children
from all over the world. The
school will be on the grounds
of the banana plantation that
Yarbrough owns in Montego
Bay, Jamaica.
Appearing with Yarbrough
Friday night will be the Stan-ton
Street Quartet and corn-edian
Don Sherman.
Tickets will be on sale in
the Commons through Friday
afternoon at $2 (balcony) and
$2.25 (main floor). They may
also be purchased at the door
Friday evening, but the price
will be raised 25 There are
no reserved seats.
Now is the time and no
later. Students at Augustana
College who plan to take the
Selective Service qualification
test this spring should pick
up their blanks at the Deans'
Offices this week.
Dr. Jorgen S. Thompson,
Dean of Men, said male stu-dents
can pick up the selec-tive
service bulletin, applica-tion
card and ticket of admis-sion
at his office in the
administration building any
time now.
DEAN THOMPSON said
today students planning to
continue their college educa-tion
must send in the applica-tion
card to the testing head-quarters
before April 23.
The testing headquarters
in Chicago said students will
be notified when they can take
the test. There are three test
dates at Augustana — May 14,
May 21, and June 3. Dean
Thompson says that Augus-tana
is prepared to administer
about 300 tests on anyone of
those dates.
The selective service bul-letin
says this test will pro-vide
local boards "with evi-dence
of the relative quali-fications
of registrants for
college study." Both a stu-dent's
class rank and the
score on this test will be
used by local selective ser-vice
boards to help determine
"occupational deferment" for
college students.
FRESHMAN, SOPHOMORE
and junior students will take
the test. In the past, such as
in the Korean War, students
who passed the test with a
70 per cent or better, and were
in satisfactory standing in the
class, would be ordinarily
deferred from military service.
Students who planned to do
graduate studies would or-dinarily
need an 80 per cent
on the test.
The selective service bul-letin
says the test presup-poses
no schooling beyond
ordinary high school prepara-tion
for college. However,
Dean Thompson indicated
that students should not take
this test too lightly for most
local selective service boards
will require the test results
for student deferment.
Students to attend
Model United Nations
A group of Augustana's
history and political science
majors will attend the North
Central Region Model U.N.
next week.

Coffman Memorial Union on

Augustana's delegation will
represent the countries of
Japan and New Zealand in
the General Assembly of the
United Nations.
Each student has been
researching a particular area
of one of the countries, and
the delegates have been
meeting weekly to prepare for
the conference.
The second half of the
Blue Key Fine Arts Festival
is underway and will continue
through Sunday.
Tonight the film version
of Shakespeare's Richard III
will be shown in the Three-in-
One Room at 8:15.
The play For Heaven's
Sake opens tonight at 8:30

For Heaven's Sake is a
musical revue in two acts by
Helen Kromer and Frederick
Silver. It is presented under
the direction of Bette Hart
with Mr. Mundt's supervision.
The play, a religious
musical satire which com-municates
the meaning of the
Gospel in most contemporary
terms, begins with the unison
chanting of the characters.
"I believe in Almighty Man,
reducer of the atom, conqueror
of space, and in the progress
which is his offspring ...
Praise man from whom all
blessings flow ..."
The play continues in that
man is "having his fling at
playing the role of the Al-mighty
King." It is a satire
throughout on religious at-titudes
and postures.
The cast includes Becky
Olson, Lois Johnson, Dick
Jorgenson, Carol Nasby,
Tonia Sayles, Kayln Hanson,
Zane Torgrude, Del Dvoracek
