Main event Natalie Cole loolced out into a sold-out house in Albert N. Jorgensen Auditorium Friday night. and exclaimed. “lt sho nuff feels good!." People. let it be told: lt sho’ nuff did!
Capitol Records recording artist Cole has definitely found the right road to stardom, combining a superlative band with her own exciting vocal style and tunes with enough hooks to drag you out of your neat and on to your feet. Yes, there was dancing in the aisles Friday night.
People were turned away at the door despite a dreary rainy even- ing. The audience came from as far as Springfield and Amherst Mass.. where the Natalie Cole phenomenon bagan. She receiv- ed a B.A. in psychology from the University of Massachusetts.
No one seemed too upset when the M.C., WKND radio person- ality Greg Dixon. announced that the scheduled first act. Jon Lucien. had been replaced by

Norman Connors. The most significant comment on the switch seemed to be. “Who's Norman Connors?"
Unfortunately, the answer to that question turned out to be of little significance. Connors. an erratic jazz drummer who once recorded with Herbie Hancock. presented a free -spirited. but loosely structured and sometimes clumsy set of music.
Saving grace appeared in the form of one Eleanor Mills. vocal- ist who wowed the crowd with her beautiful. soulful husky voice. She is a powerful and controlled singer. and worthy of more attention.
The seven-piece Connors group was technically proficient but just couldn't get through to the peo- ple. Trying to work up a little enthusiasm. second vocalist Craig Derry asserted. “This is a col- lege. am I right? And when you do not participate you get an F. am l right?... So put your hands together!" Surprisingly enough

short weeks. hut it alsoincludes an advanced speed reading
course on casette tape so that you’
can continue to improve for the rest of your life. In just four weeks the averagestudent should be reading four to five times faster. ln a few months some students are reading 20 to 30 times faster. attaining speeds that approach 6,000 words per minute. ln rare instances speeds of up to 13.009 wpm have been documented.
These orientations are open to the public, above age l4.(persons under age 18 should be accom- panied by a parent if possible.)
if you have always wanted to be a speed reader but found the cost prohibitive or the course too time consuming... now you can! Just by attending 1 evening per week for 4 short weeks you can read 7 to 10 times faster. concentrate better and comprehend more.
lf you are a student who would like to make A‘s instead of B's or C5 or if you are a business person who wants to stay abreast of. today‘s everchanging accel- erating world then this course is

Connors ended his set with the now classic jazz tune “The Creat- or Has A Master Plan" in which he indulged in some hysterical scat singing while Derry took care of the drums.
For all his efforts there were no calls for an encore. The crowd wanted Natalie Cole.
Natalie appeared on stage pois- ed and beautiful. like the “Soph- isticated Lady" she sings about. title cut from her second and current album. Her first album. “lnseparable" shipped gold and earned her an Emmy Award for Best Female Vocalist.
Natalie took her band through a wide range of musical styles from a tight gospel feeling to funk and to blues ballads.
“We don't have a whole lot of gimmicks." she told her aud- ience. "We jes' stand up here and...sang." she deliberately
drawled. grinning. Natalie's voice has been compar- ed to Aretha Franklin's. I found it
