Goulet in Love with Lyrics
H
Robert Goulet can be described as a man in love with the lyrics he sings.
This is the image he presented, not only in his concert Saturday night, but in a press conference following the performance.
Coulet's concert, the first of his college tour, was attended by approximately 9,500 people.
"There are many songs, by the Beatles for example, that have good melodies but the lyrics are juvenile," said Goulet. "I'd rather sing something historical, or with a definite meaning."
GOULET SAID he had just completed a pilot film for a new dramatic television program. He also expressed the desire to do another Broadway show playing onesite his wife Carol Lawrence.
"You must get a unanimous vote from the critics to make it economically possible for you to stay on Broadway," Goulet said. "However, a lot depends on the stars. We received bad reviews in "Camelot" but it had a successful run because we had name stars like Burton and Julie Andrews. The critics can kill a good show that doesn't have big stars simply because the people rely too heavily on their opinion," the singer said.
When asked about Broadway critics, Goulet said he thought they had too much power.
Goulet said plans were being discussed about making a movie of "Camelot."
Goulet said he feels of all the live audiences he has played to on Broadway, in supper clubs, and now in college concert, he likes the concert audiences best
"THEY WANT Burton and Burton doesn't want to do it." Goulet said, "so I guess they'll use James Cagney and Tab Hunter."
"Tenight was my first college concert and I'm doing 22 more in the next 24 days." Goulet said. "But if the rest are all like this audience here tonight, I'm not going to do anything else but give college concerts."
MU Tops KU In Fund Drive
The University of Missouri has beaten KU in the game of generosity. The score was $3,000 to $1,260 in the two schools' competitive Campus Chest drives.
Battenfeld won the local trophy. The Battenfeld men contributed about $245—nearly $4.25 a man. Some rebates still need to be counted, but Battenfeld clearly won the trophy, Carl Struby, Leawood junior and departmental secretary for public relations of the drive, said.
MOST OF THE money collected by KU will be given to the Lawrence United Fund. The remainder will be equally divided between the American Heart Association and the World University Service.
According to Struby, there are several reasons for such a meager showing by KU.
Missouri had been planning the drive since the middle of summer, whereas KU had begun plans only two weeks before the drive started. MU also had at least two major projects besides collecting from student organized residences. One such project was selling candied apples at football games. They also had a better system for on-campus collections
"WE DID NOT set any goal here. Missouri set a goal of 50 cents a student which would have been a total of $7,500. But even with their well organized drive, they were only able to collect half of this. To set any kind of goal would be ridiculous for this reason." Strubly said.
"Much of the blame for such low showings for KU is our own, but many people just didn't come through."
