Prayer vigil
(Continued from Page 1)
The prayer vigil commenced
as Chris Zorn, Mercer senior in
the college of liberal arts,
addressed the group. “We’re ail
here in sympathy for the stu
dents at Kent State. We have to
think about violence. And you
have to make decisions on
what you stand on sooner or
later.”
Dean Trimble then address
ed the group. “If sympathy is
un-American, then. Lord
knows what America has
come to. When you use vio
lence, you become like what
you are trying to destroy. I
don’t know if we have any sol
utions for this problem. It’s
remarkable that a Christian
school provides so little voice

in this matter. Being the Chris
tian school that we are, how
ever, there must be some way
other than violence.
“There must be a certain
element of maturity in terms
of the country and the so
called immature students
which can deal with opposition
in some other manner than by
destroying or incinerating It.
“There has got to be found
in this country a way that
doesn’t take either of those
alternatives (l.e., absolute
acceptance of the war or abso
lute rejection of it). The point
is, the country is tacitly sup
porting the war.
“I approve of expressions of
sympathy. I approve of black
arm bands, but I strongly dis
approve of what you’re pro
testing against when the
methods are violent and
destroy human life.” Conclud
ing, Dean Trimble said, “Chris
tian faith hopefully offers an
alternative.”

students, Chris Zorn asked if
any of the opposed law
students wished to say any
thing. No one stepped forward.
At the close of the hour, a
few minutes before noon, Dr.
Otto, Ptofeesor of Christianity,
offered a short prayer on be
half of the assembled group.
In part, he Mid, "We ask for
comfort for our parents and
wisdom for the young.” And in
conclusion, “O Lord, every
where we find violence and we
ask only for peace.”
At noon the group dispersed
when students returned to
class.
A group opposing President
Harris' action formed during
the afternoon. This group was
headed by Randall Sorenson.
The group fait that Prwident
Harris, in taking a stand on the
honoring of the four Kent
State students had put the uni
versity on record as backing
their political stand. They felt
that this stand represented an
attempt by Kent State students
to destroy the American uni
versity system and that Mercer
should not have been a party
to this.
Mr. Sorenson said that the
group was checking the legality
of President Harris’ authority
to lower the flag.
The Vogues, Warner Bros. —
Reprise recording stars, will ap
pear In concert May 16, In WUT-
Ingham Chapel. They have to
their credit a long list of record
hita including their million sell
er, “Turn Around,” and a num
ber of bast selling albums plus
appearances on such major TV
shows as Ed Sullivan and John
ny Canon.
Voted among the nation’s
top three recording groups, re
viewers and critic* acclaim
them m one of the finest con
temporary. singing groups to
day.
Their concert and night dub
act offer* an imposing reper
toire of the Vogues current hit
songs and special material.
The*# include a Tijuana Brass
medley, selections from “Man-
cini”, and such standards as
“TTme After Time,” and Sep
tember In the Rain.” Their
hilarious satires of today’s TV
commercials and Nashville’s
Country and Western scene
shows the group* versatility. -
The Vogues hail from Turtle
Cteek, near Pittsburgh, Pa. BIO
Burkette, 26, studied voice for
nine yean and ia the lead bari
tone. Don Miller, 26, Is also a
baritone. Don studied muaic at
Indiana State College. Hugh
Geyer, 26, Is the first tenor and
give* The Vogues that special
reaching sound. Chuck Blasko,
26, is tb* second tenor.
The group happened about
eight or nine yeen ago, but
after one hit, “Which One Will
It Be”, things slowed down and
they split up with the idea of
getting the service out of the
way, and literally disappeared
from the music scene. The big
break for The Vogue* came
with the recording of the song,
“You’re The One". Co ft Oe
Records Promotion Head, Jack
Hakim, haaid the group and.
decided that the owners Herb
Cohan and Nick Cend ought to
record the group.
Since that tint hit, The
Vogue* have quit* a bit to rem
ember, Including “Five O’clock
World”, This Ma0e Town",
and “The Land of MUk and
Honey”. They also hare some
very pleasurable bast sailing al
bums.
To the group, the word
“Vogue” means many things —
fashion, style, mode, popula
rity, but to Bill, Chuck, Don,
and Hugh, it also means class,
quality, and “with thia” gen
eration.
Their fine musical sounds,
vitality, versatility, and envi
able poise make these fine
young dngars one of the most
talked about acts in concert
and supper dubs throughout
the country.
