Variety Show Tapping deep unknown wells of hidden resources, the IFC- ISC Variety Show easily proved itself a gusher. Featuring verve, humor, and even talent, everyone who was not already in the production applauded heartily in attendance. From folk songs to rock 'n' roll, from original dance numbers (Little Green People?) to slapstick comedy, from Miss Maryland playing the "Warsaw Concerto" on the organ to the faculty quartet making a heroic attempt to pour enthusiasm into the college fight song, the show didn't lack for variety. The climax of the first half was the screamingly successful performance by "Ringo" Liebman and the Rhomantics. Greeted with shouts, wails, and a hail of jelly beans, the bewigged four with the Dixiefied Cockney accents were easily the most vocal group west of the Thames. A faculty skit parodying SGA elections provided a penetrating critque of the college and administration, as well as some memorable lines ("Operator, this is Number One. Give me Number Two. Hello, Lowell?"). "Freddy Wit- less" Tribby, "Ban the Butt" Miller, and "Culture Kick" Kerschner proved their versatility extends far beyond the classroom. Emceed by George "Ed Sullivan" Klander and Doug "God knows I'm sorry" MacEwan, the two hours of liveli- ness finally came to an end. With a chorus of "Lord George," "There's No Business Like Show Business," and the inevit- able pie in the face, came the end of what-it is hoped-was the first annual IFC-ISC Variety Show.
