Sex Experiment Comes to Screen
By C.S. GROOM
Kansan Reviewer
Some of you will absolutely adore "The Harrad Experiment," a movie made from the book by Robert H. Rimmer. And some of you will think it is the worst movie you've ever seen. You how regard the movie depends only on your moral attitudes.
If you aren't into the human sexuality bag, you shouldn't see the movie. But if you are, you will find yourself more than delighted.
Many students have been exposed to the book in psychology, English and American studies classes. No, it wasn't a required text, because the book had too much sex in it. But it was often recommended. Appropriate books quite different from the book in that aspect.
Harrad College establishes a coed dorm. That's the basic plot of the movie. The catch: the dorm is very coed. Roommates must sex are required for the experiment.
James Whitmore portrays the experimenting professor. "This is a controlled group experiment in pre-marital relations," he writes, "and explores ourselves through others."

Tippi Hedren is the professor's wife, Together, Whitmore and Herdron portray a rare, married, middle-aged couple at the end of a troubled life of psychological pretext for the college.
The coed dorm is in its first experimental year in the movie. Approximately 20 young people are the subjects for the experiment. For the sake of simplicity, the movie
For the sake of simplicity, the movie focuses on the relationships of two couples.
Laurie Walters plays the prudish young woman who thinks that love should come first in an interpersonal relationship. Her roommate, portrayed by Don Johnson, is a stereotyped male who can't get enough of the good stuff.
The couple goes through traumas because of their conflicting interests. Finally, the wife
The other couple has problems also. The male is very wormish and possessive, while the female is more tolerant.
Vocalist Helps 'Experiment'

Two entertaining activities in "The Harrad Experiment" were the Ace Trucking Company, which did a bit part in the movie, and the music of someone else who seems to be undiscovered in the music world. She is embellished with many songs and some others throughout the movie. She also has on album entitled "Lori Leberman."
Her main interest is singing, although she has written two of the songs that appear on her albums. "What's It All About?"
Lieberman is one of those rare vocalists who enunciates every syllable. A Lieberman album will never have to have the same number of lines on it, because she is so easy to understand.
written by Norman Gimble and Charles Fox. The names may not be recognizable to some people, but anyone who has ever heard the Roberta Flack song, "Killing Me Softly With His Song," will quickly identify the composers' names.
The music is soft, quiet and moody. It's the kind of music that folk-singing guitar players will want to pick up and learn to play. Instrumentation is very rare and sometimes it's impossible really needed as Lieberman's voice is powerful and strong—never wavering.
Lieberman's music was a very strong point for the "Harrad Experiment." As the movie commenced, we saw a lovely, moody piece from John Carpenter's College. And the accompanying title song made the audience think, at the time, that the movie might have a chance.
Originality Is Lacking In Allman Brothers Album
By BILL WEBER Kansan Reviewer
The title "Brothers and Sisters" doesn't seem appropriate for the new Allman Brothers album. "Sons and Daughters" might be a better title because the album is more colorful. The title Dune Allman inspired and mastered, performed on this album by his siblings.
The listener might get the feeling that he has heard the music before. The band has suffered a number of major set-backs, yet it has been able to produce an album. Unfortunately, the new material is totally lacking in originality.
The Allman Brothers' character is still prevalent. This character, which probably appeals to more people than that of any other American band, will make "Brothers and Sisters" one of the biggest albums of the year.
Dicky Betts, the band's lead guitarist, is probably responsible for keeping the band's familiar qualities intact. He deserves either great praise for pulling off such a near perfect job or complete disregard for continually copying the playing style of the band. The note in some cases. All Alman fan hatches times the progressions, build-ups and breaks Betts uses in his guitar work and song writing.
But some of the same sounds are soothing to hear again. The percussion, which consists of the teamed drumming of Butch Truck and Johanny Johanson, is as fine to hear as it ever was. And brother Greig is in there, writing and singing with the same sound and integrity that has made this group one of the greatest American rock bands.

LA MESA, Calif. (AP)—The price of a bride is up going.
Lamar Williams, taking over the late Berry Oakley's role as bass player, plays without being noticed. This is unfortunate because Oakley always proudly let himself be heard and the distinctive bass guitar is missed.
The new music is adequate to say the least. If you liked "Elizabeth Reed," you will like "Jessica." "Wasted Words" and "Southbound" are both the typical Gregg Alman rockers. But if you liked the song "Jam" or the original excitement of "Whipping Post," this album won't do much for you.
white calf that cost his new son-in-law $125.
The band has succeeded in making this album sound like the real thing, and that is the problem with it. The album lies somewhere in the past with Woodstock and Jimi Hendrix. Little of "Brothers and Sisters" relates to the present.

The only dumb joke worth remembering (maybe) was the one Whitmore told about the man who made one man, one wife. If that does not work, Whitmore should, the man should become a philosopher.
