BY MARK RUMMEL
LIFE SIAFF WRITER
Time magazine stated, 'In an
era when more and more rock
is being introduced into popular
• mu/iic, one group is introducing
more music into rock. That
group is Blood, Sweat, and
Teats,"
Thers^rday.R<r4ew said.
•The  group performs- with  a
weU-defined sense of dynamics ,
and shape, without losing the gut
. impact . of the  best of. rock."
As can be seen, music reviews have been generous in
praise;; of.. Blood, Sweat, and
Tears, and students here can
judge for themselves asthe nine-
man group appears tomorrow.
The Homecoming weekend ap-*
pearance, sponsored jointly by
Student Social Activities Committee and Men's Unioni begins
at 8 p,,m. in Finch Fieldhouse,
BloDd,. Sweat, and Tears is
unique in that it features a five-
piece horn section in addition to
the usual drum} organ and guitar.
sequence. . The group 'recently .
appeared before 34,000 people at
the Newport Jazz Festival.and
was hailed by a New York Times,
critic as giving,'**them(istpolished performance b?the evening..,"
BS&T has broken, through the,
traditional bouriiiries which have
separated ••classical" from
"•jazz" from "pop" nu sic, and
bringing aU three genres together,
into one style of music has won
the group an entirely new and
select audience.
Drummer Bobby Colomby, guitarist Steve Katz, saxophonist-
pianist Fred Lipsius, trombon-
• ist-arganist Dick HaUigan and
bass guitarist Jim Fielder formed th* nucleus.of the group two
years ago in New York.
These five discovered lead
singer David Clayton-Thomas at
a New York club. Trumpet
players Chuck Wlnfield and Lew.
iSoloff ieft other groups to join
BS&T, as did trombonist Jerry
Hyman.
Musical arrangements feature
each member of the band, and the
great diversification of talent and
the unique blend of powerful,
lyrical, composition are always
evident.
The group has become established with their most weU-known
album "Blood, Sweat, and Tears"
and their singles ••You've made
* Me So Very Happy" and ••Spin-"
ning Wheel."
Each has been awarded a Gold
record (for album sales exceeding one million dollars and single
:   sales   exceeding  one million
copies).   The group has recently "
■ released a new single "And When.
I Die," and is scheduled to release a new album sometime this
fall.
A new service designed to deal
primarily with student questions
concerning acadsmic matters has
been set up in Warriner HaU.
Students with questions concerning their academic program,
evaluation of class credits and
transfer credit evaluation can
now obtain definite answers from
the new Academic Information
Center.
"Our primary purpose is to
give academic advisement,"says
Robert Connell, assistant registrar and director of the center.
Personnel from the Academic
Information Center will evaluate
course credits for undergraduate
students on campus and transfer
students, consult with students on
graduation requirements and individual degree and curriculum
requirements and also provide
information to undergraduate,
off-campus students concerning
academic matters.
The new office will help to re-
*iev© the burden of academic advisement from the CMU Counseling Center   and   permit coun
selors more time to deal with students in other counseling matters, Connell explains.
Among the center's responsibilities wiU be compiling course
descriptions of aU courses offered at the 31 pubUc community
coUeges and branches inMichi-
gan.   When the course descrip- ■
tion is completed the Academic
Information Center will make the
material available to the community coUeges so that appropriate
officials can advise potential in-
. coming transfer students on the
transferability of their community college courses.
ConneU, said the coUection and
t"
distribution of community college course description information wiU be an important function
of the Academic Information Center since the number of transfer students coming to CMU. increases annually.   He said the
projected transfer student enrollment for the 1970-71 academic
year would total approximately
1,050 students out of a total projected enrollment of 13,800.
