SPECIAL INTERVIEW
By JERRY CALABRESE
My first impression of The
Rascals and especially Eddie Bri
gati, lead vocalist, was a simple
"wow.10
As I was led into Brigati's room,
I looked around and saw nothing
but an arm extending from the'
narrow slot between the bed and
the wall.
Their road manager had just
left to supervise some other Ras.
cals and I was left introducing my
self to an arm.
Brigati and Gene Cornish, lead
guitarist, wrestled between the
beds and after a sound thrashing,
the smaller Brigati decided to
calm down and talk with me.
Speaking on the success of the
group and their ability to remain
high in the record charts, Brigati
said it takes neither luck nor tal
ent. "People have to be able to
relate. A musician or group of
musicians can be good, but if
people can't relate to them, can't

identify some similarity of prob

make it."
Brigati said the Rascals are
doing more commentary music,
such as "Ray of Hope" and "Peo
ple Got to Be Free," as a use of
their influence. "When you got the
influence why not use it."
"I'm interested, as the group is,
in seeing that young people have
a future, in seeing that it's justi.
fied to be born in this free beauti
ful country of ours that it's sup
posed to be," he said.
"The older generation is physi.
cal. They comprehend only ir
terms of tangible possessions. The
young are intellectually inclined
The older generation won't allow
the young to be detached from th(
physical. They can't understand it
and they're afraid of it," Br'gat
said.
Brigati feels the present systen
of government is a sick corrup
game, where "little kids sit gluet
to their TV sets and see Vietnan

ticians come and try to smooth it
all over.
"The only hitch," Brigati con
tinued, "is that the kids will be
educated and they aren't going to
buy it. Politicians should work for
the benefit of mankind."
Speaking on student unrest, he
said, "True education is stifled.
The institution's true interest isn't
real education but programming.
Once a mind is educated to think,
to reason, it can't play the game,
it can't be led around like a lamb.
"Take drugs," Brigati said, "I
seriously doubt the government is
really concerned with the physical
well-being of drug users, when
they're sending kids out to spill
blood."
A knock echoed on the door and
we all knew it was show time. I
asked Brigati to sum up the most
imlortant message he could con
vey. lie thought for a moment,
shook his shaggy head and said,
"This country has more than
enough to eradicate all its prob
lems. We don't have to send people
out with guns. Religion tells us;
science tells us. All is one; one is f
all; in short - people got to be
free-peace, brother."

A bill to begin a modified "rat

T,owers passed last week by Men's
Towers Council.
Thle bill stats-s that freshmen of
Men's Towers he reu!r(ed to l-arn
the fight song, A11m1a 1at1 1 and
wear freslman "rat cap"' in the
Tower's area.
Those who dvf4-nd#,d the bill said
it wouldl stilulate schwil Spirit,
but opposers of the bill said the
rat system was anachironistic and
out of place in a jrgressive
school.
Another bill passeld by the coun
cil would allow the possession of
