  • The^stern Cardinidn THURSDAY. MAY 26, 1977 Vol. XLII, No. 57 Foghat, Starz, deliver impressive concert Last Monday night, SGP sponsored the Foghat concert with special guests. Star/. As a rock 'n roll concert, it was i success. The five-member Star/ band opened the show. Most impressive of the hand was their huge set of drums. Least impressive was that they seemed to be slightly under rehearsed for a glitter show of that calibre. Most talented of the hand was the guitarist, whose special effects and fast licks led the band and gave it hard roek flavor. Although the multitude of drums which seemed to surround lhe player were impressive, the drummer could have been a little taster during his six minute solo. Their music is best described as very loud throbbing, hard-driving rock, amplified by $200.000 worth of equipment. As a finale, one member of the hand sprayed a bottle of champagne all over the audience. Foghat presented a profesional. well-rehearsed glitter show, although it was a bit too loud. Their opening was unique. Before the band came on. the lights were dim and a recording of "Pomp and Circumstance" (the graduation march) was played as the spotlights panned the audience. Their opening song was an exciting version of the title track to one of their gold albums. "Fool For the City." Dave Pcverett, the lead singer, had a high pitched, dynamic voice that added greatly to the hard hitting music they performed. The vocals of Rod Rice and Craig MacGregor were added occasionally to produce excellent three-part harmony. Although Roger Earl's drums were not as large as Star/'s drums, Earl's playing was much faster and more impressive. The audience was most receptive ti> Foghat's "boogie- woogie" type songs sucll as the song they played secondly. Their light show was colorful, and the audience was surprised -if not blinded occasionally— by bright flood lights that flashed randomly during their performance, lhe audience, of eourse. was rowdy. Fortunately however, in this ease it was fitting. During a few moving, hand-clapping songs, the audience roeked along with the music. However, in many instances, they were rowdy just for the sake of being rowdy. For their closing number, Foghat played their hit. "Slow Ride" — an elongated version with much improvisation. Although a large number of the audience left after this song, the band returned for a long encore. Unlike man) hands who rush off the stage in the dark after their performance, Foghat remained on the stage with lhe house lights on and bowed as they strolled off Stage. They seemed pleased with the audience, and grateful. WCU students receive medical scholarships Two WCU students have received University of North Carolina Board of Governors Medical Scholarships.

Herpes: incurable type of VD No. it's not a new rock group or an exquisite. Latin dish, lis a type of venereal disese and it's becoming increasing!) common: herpes progcnitalis. There is no cure for herpes—also known as HSV-2. Once you've got it. you've got if for good, and it could possibly lead to meningitis, encephalitis, and other is system diseases. It is believed to be a cause of , mainly in the cervix or prostate. If a pregnant l catches the herpes virus, she is three times more ave a deformed infant or a stillbirth than the n who does not have it. lhe symptoms of herpes begin with tiny fluid-filled vesicles, like painful little blisters, which are on a red. inflamed base. These will hurst within about two weeks, leaving ugly red scars. These may appear singly or in clusters in the genital area, thighs, or buttocks. There may also he inflammation, burning, or itching in the genital area. After the blisters disappear, they will later reappear in the same spot, periodically. Factors which may cause the blisters to reappear are overexposure to sun or wind, stress, or sexual intercourse. Herpes can be diagnosed in several ways, but usually bv microscopic examination of the fluid from the blisters. A pap smear will usually detect the disease in a woman who has the blisters in her cervix or vagina. You can catch herpes without actual sexual inter course, if you have an open sore or wound which conies in contact with a ruptured blister or infected semen. However, sexual intercourse is the most common cause of the spread of herpes. What does all this actually mean? First of all. be very selective when choosing sex partners. If you notice these blisters on your partner—well, decide for yourself. Syphillis and gonorrhea are dangerous, but they can be cured. Herpes progcnitalis can not. If you think you mav have it. see your doctor.
