Solons appear B.v CHARLES FELLENBAUM News Editor Three Richland County legislators talked with students in the informal atmosphere of the Commons Room yesterday. "Nobody's going to pay any attention to you until you get the vote," Rep. Alex Sanders said. He added that he is in favor of lowering the voting age in state elections to 18, but only if 18 year' olds assume legal responsibility. "If you give your time and money to work for the Democratic party you will have a voice." Rep. I. S. Letvy Johnson said that he was "shocked" at the recent appointment of a black to, Strom Thurmond's staff. It was way overdue," he said, but "I don't anticipate that blacks will change their attitude toward Thurmond any." Johnson, one of the few blacks elected to the S.C. Legislature in recent history, said that since he has been in office "the white delegates have beat me to the punch." Legislation that a black representative might have been expected to strongly support has receives immediate recognition from white delegates, Johnson said. "There has been a change in attitude." Rep. Isadore Lourie said that he didn't think that the next proposal of liquor by the drink would pass. "There have been so many illogical arguments against it," he said. "It's silly." Concert Co plans sprinj This year there has been much 1 confusion as to which concerts t have been promoted by the University Union Concert Com mittee and which by outside promoters.

I DiFiglio said- the concerts remaining this year are March 26 ' at Township Auditorium, Mason Profit, a country-rock group from the West Coast. This group has been compared with the grateful Dead. DiFiglio said that Mason Prof fit played at N.C. State two weeks ago to '"rave reviews."~ Admission for the concert will be --Lt for students and $1.50 for non students. DlFiglio said this concert is "going out for people who went for McKendree Spring and New Correction Solicitor John Foard was misquoted in the February 24th issue of The Gamecock. He was reported as saying, "It wasn't because of evidence problems and other things I can't make public." It should have read, "It wa.s because of evidence problems and other things I can't make public." The gamecock regrets the error.

PiCTIREIM eld aE~RRR DInECTEDI~ NOW PLAYING 1-3-5 IJAcI KAREN ADRIEN ji WE CHSt ? 008 AAFI Sweet .Baby James y. JERRY CALABItESE Features Editor Last week I wrote a column called "Dinosaurs and Concerts." In it. I raised the suggestion that the day of the live concert, due to a number of reasons, was about over. One of the reasons was that any group that could play effectively in as large a hall as the Carolina Coliseum was probably incapable of creating a rapport with a large audi,nce. In nearly all cases, I still contend that this is true; live concerts in large halls have lost their validity. As in all rules there is at least one exception, James Taylor is one such exception. Taylor is deafeningly not loud and his music is not classed as acid rock", but James Taylor, more than most, other performers or their work, is a trip. His songs, for the most part, are .James Taylor relating his ex periences in a manner that is universal. For those who know Taylor only from his "hits" there is much in store. For those who are familiar with his albums and his history, there is even more to look forward to. In this time of over-priced, under talented. concerts, the James Taylor show at Carolina Coliseum on Wednesday is a welcome relief. The audience will probably have fewer status seeking concert goers and there is a distinct possibility that the audience will be interested in the show instead of being seen there. All in all, the James Taylor concert is a good bet. It is also one of the only outside promotion concerts that is worth the price of admission. Don't miss it.
