The best of 1961 albumsN ic k W o o d

The Lumberjack

Well, it's almost the end of 1961, so here theArizom State College Lumberjack presents a roundup of all that's hap­

pened in musical new s in the past year.

First up is one of Elvis Presley's best singles to date, the

sweet ballad "Can't Help Falling in Love." It features every­

body's favorite rock 'n' roll musician in top form, crooning

lyrics to some unknown sweetheart. The record also has

Presley's right — hand — man, Scotty Moore, strumming along

on guitar, moving the song forward for the rest of the band.

Another rock 'n' roll album not to be missed is "That'll

be the Day" by the late Buddy Holly. This record shows

Holly the way he would want to be remembered, with

some o(his best recordings on one album.

In country and western music news, Patsy Cline has

released "Showcase," on which the lovely Miss Gine is in

top form on songs like "Walkin' After Midnight" and

"South of the Border (Down Mexico Wav)."

For all you Frank Sinatra fans, old blue-eves has

released a greatest-hits album. It includes "Strangers in the

Night'' and "It was a Very Good Year."

Last, comes the music round up for the beatniks here in

Flagstaff. A good accompaniment for read ing the new book

"On the Road” by the scruffy' writer jack Kerouac would be

Dave Brubeck's new record "Take Five,’’ a cool jazz excur­

sion to relax to. Also of interest to beatniks would be Joan

Baez's new album "Volume 2." It has the young folk singer

shining on "All My Trials" and a selection of other tradi­

tional songs.

If you "dig" the music of Joan Baez, then there is a hot

young singer out of New York that will soon be a national­

ly known talent. Bob Dylan has recently been setting the

stage on fire at GenJe's Folk City in the Big Apple with his

witty lyrics- and soulful handling of the guitar, harmonica

and piano.

No col lege student can go wrong if he or she goes out to

the local record store and picks up a copy of any one of the

records above.

Nostalgic eats, old fashioned treatsN ICK W o o d

The Lumberjack

With Homecoming dedicated to the class of 1%1, per­

haps it's time to pay tribute to the r '60s by eating at a nos­

talgic diner or restaurant. The 1960's were the heyday of

Route 66, and all the greasy, sugary, fried, s e r v e d

— o n — r o l l e r — skates food abounded in each one of the thousand;* of

burger joints. Luckily, some of that spirit is preserved in

Flagstaff today.

Without a doubt, the Galaxy Diner on Route 66 is the

best approximation of the type of restaurant that was

around in 1961. Its neon-lit, chromed facade hearkens back

the early days of rock 'n' roll and sock hops. The food

inside is classic American, with all the malts, fries and

cheese that go along with a time before cholesterol wor­

ries. Though Galaxy is a fairly new restaurant, it is more

like a time warp than a joint that has been around since the

'60s.

Another hoppin' place is the Sonic drive- in. With two

locations around town, the days of roller-skate-wearing

waitresses seem closer than ever. Fora more authentic hot

dog than Sonic's, Primo's on south San Francisco Street

may remind East Coast natives of the '60s back home.

For period authenticity7 in a restaurant, the Crown

Railroad Cafe on East Route 66 is hard to beat. Walking in,

it's obvious that it w asn't built y esterday with money from

some parent corporation. The display of model trains and

the timeless sandwich selection have helped keep it

around. Even though it's not vintage 1961, it's about as

close as one can come to classic Route 66 cuisine.

E>riving along East Route 66 at night it's hard to miss

the bold neon "Let's Eat" sign adorning Miz Zip's Cafe.

Even if it wasn't a vestige of old Route 66, the cheery sign

and picture of a hamburger would make it worthy of a

stop.

Maximizing the Homecoming parade experienceJ ENNIFER M ILLIGAN

The Lumberjack

How to get the Homecoming parade experience:

A football game, a dance, a tailgate party and a parade are some of the

things that come to mind when thinking about Homecoming. The

Homecoming parade is a chance for all to dre^s in funny costumes, ride on

large, unusual objects and throw candy at faculty, students and community

members.

The parade promises to create a memorable and unique experience this

year, said Kristie Kelms, vice president of the Blue Key Honor Fraternity, the

sponsors of the 77th annual parade.

"I can't wait to see what all the student organizations came up with as far

as floats/' said Eric Yordy, judicial coordinator in the Office of Student Life and

a first-time Homecoming parade participant, "1 think it's going to be really

fun."

Yordy plans to cruise around at the beginning of the parade, help the stu­

dent organizations set up their floats and then head toward north campus to

catch Mountainfest, which will take place in fn»nt of Old Main.

"Mountainfest is going to be a popular place for the crowd," said Art

Farmer, NAU associate dean of students. The fest is going to have games,

booths, food and plenty of seating room to watch the parade. The fest starts at

10:30 a.m. and ends at 2:30 p.m. Saturday.

The judges' booth will be in front of the Gammage Building (hint...this will

be the place to be; entries in the parade always perform their best in front of

the judges}.

"A great spot is down by Macy's (just south of the train tracks on Beaver

Street). You can get coffee and have the nostalgic feeling of old town," said

Rick Brandel, NAU dean of students. "There is going to be a mixture in diver­

sity of floats and very high intensity.”

The parade will begin 11 a.m. Saturday at the comer of Phoenix Avenue and

Beaver Street, just south of the train tracks. The parade will then move south

on Deaver Street and west on Dupont Avenue It will follow the curve south

onto Knoles Drive, where it will come to an end at the comer of Knoles Drive

and University Avenue.

"Coming 30 minutes prior to the parade should be enough time to get a

good seat, if you want to sit in the front row." Brandel said.

If sitting and watching the parade sounds like a good plan, on campus

would be the best place to sit and relax as the floats pass you by. North cam­

pus provides nice shade and will be the site of Mountainfest. The University

Union has large grassy areas in front and across the street.

If sitting down doesn't sound like fun, try cruising around the beginning of

the parade and get an afternoon beer at Beaver Street Brewery. Follow the

parade route south and hit Mountainfest on north campus, and then head

toward the union. This way, coming early to find a spot to sit doesn't apply,

and you can experience everything going on.

Students commit best pranks ever

Homecoming pranks are as American as apple pie and the American

flag. Whether it's high school or college, pranks can get any school into

the Homecoming spirit.

A way for Lumberjacks to get that hometown feeling is to take a look

at the pranks others have successfully pulled off. Some pranks have

gone into history as inventive and witty. Here are a few:

A way not to fight with athletic ability but with guts was done by

those who represented the University of California, Los Angeles and the

University Southern California on another level.

In 1939, the UCLA Alumni Association dedicated an old locomotive

bell, the Victory Bell, to the student body. At following football games,

the bell would toll out the number of points UCLA had. After the 1941

Washington State game, the UCLA Rally Committee was loading the

bell into a truck when six USC Trojans, disguised as Bruins, began to

help them. Without warning, the six Trojans leapt into the truck and

took off with the Victory Bell.

Could UCLA let this action go unretaliated? Of course not! Because

of the rivalry that had grown since the theft of UCLA's Liberty Bell, USC

knew their Trojan statue was in grave danger of a prank , so it was

guarded heavily by 100 students. Unable to physically reach Tommy

Trojan, UCLA students rented a helicopter and proceeded to drop 500

pounds of manure on the statue.

UCLA seems to go for the unimaginable pranks, the "Mission

Impossible" ideas. One year, some Bruins decided they didn't like the

way the Trojan statue looked. They wanted a better position for their

icon. The students cut off Tommy the Trojan's arm and welded it so it

looked as though he was sticking his sword up his backside.

At Sir Francis Drake High School in California, a student decided to

commit a prank against Redwood, a rival high school. An unknown per­

son went over to Redwood in the middle of the night and ripped out

one of the many redwood trees on campus. They then somehow got it

back to Drake High School and stuck it right in the middle of the park­

ing lot.

At the University of Western Ontario, The Gazette reported that engi­

neering students dismantled a concrete beach sailboat, a we 11-recog­

nized statue on campus. They reassembled it inside the University

Community Center, which did not correspond with the time they board­

ed up the same building with Styrofoam.

The Oklahoma Baptist University’ Biscni, the OSU newspaper, report­

ed their mascot, a bison, was painted like a skunk the night before

Homecoming.

A student at Michigan State University wrote to the Daily, MSU's col­

lege paper, that acts such as the painting of their mascot, the Diag, helps

people get into the spirit.

"Lthink that each and every person who is complaining about it as

an act of disrespect and bad sportsmanship is taking it way too serious­

ly," said Craig Jacobs, an MSL student. "It's all part of the fun that can

come from a rivalry."

This should be the attitude taken when it comes to harmless

Homecoming pranks. We should all be so fortunate to have the creative

skill to think of goofy ways to show school spirit, but we all know the

Lumberjacks would never think of pulling a Homecoming prank!

The Lumberjack

Ah, to be a lumberjack (or lumberjill, as the cast* may be). Those manliest of men

eat huge breakfasts and sport macho flannels. They are rugged individuals who tra­

verse the forest in search of lumber to harvest.

While you too can join the likes of Paul Bunyan by joining one of the many log­

ging camps running through our great forests, today jacking as a career is only for

those full-time hardy souls.

For the rest of us, wielding an ax would normally be considered a social setback.

Luckily , there are many organizations devoted to the wide world of "forest sports."

First and foremost amongst lumberfolk is the North American Lumberjack Guide.

Merely by going to their Web site, you cannot only jive to the interesting- though-

somewhat- backwater banjo music, but also have access to nearly every aspect of for­

est sports directories.

The United States Axemen's Association link provides a complete description of

what lumberjacks do in forest sports. USAA also lists the world-record holders in such

popular events as the Underhand, Standing Block and Springboard Chop to the One

Man, Two Man and jack and jill Crosscut.

On the college circuit, forest sports an* gaining in popularity in intramural leagues

“ * on college campuses across

North America. Canadian

students have formed the

Canadian Intercollegiate

Lumberjacking Association,

and, in the United States,

student groups can join the

Western Collegiate L*>gging

Sports Association.

Even those .concerned

with safety and proper

instruction can enjoy the

lumberjack experience in

the comfort of their own liv­

ing nx>m with “Lenny the

Lumberjack."

"Lenny" is a 48-minute

video ($19.95 w ith free ship­

ping) available to the public,

promising viewers to "expe­

rience the thrill of operating

gigantic equipment."

Operating out of the

Roaring River Logging

Camp, "Professional

Lumberjack" Lenny will

demonstate and explain the

equipment used in a nruxi-

em logging cam p._______
