'MR. ENTERTAINMENT' LATEST ADDITION
Western week features talent Donny Rohrs, a country-western performer, also known as Mr. Entertainment, is the latest addition to the entertainment scheduled during Wild West Week October 24-29. Rohrs will perform his night club show at the October 28 western style dance from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. in the Student Union. A charge is set at $1.25 for ASG card holders and $2 for general admission. Born in Sanborn, Iowa, Rohrs began his career by performing for local functions while still in high school. He later went on to personal appearances in night club shows and has played with such greats as Jerry Lee Lewis, Bobby Austin, Buck Owens, and Freddie Hart. Rohrs seems to be a versatile performer with talents ranging from songwriting, singing, piano and
guitar playing to impersonating the likes of John Wayne, Elvis Presley, Tom Jones, Dean Martin, and Mae West. At the dance he will be pulling all of these talents together to present a show, including a tribute to Elvis. Rohrs' latest release is Woman in My Eyes" which is being aired throughout the country. Among some of his other recordings are Blues, Booze, and Baby on My Mind and Daddy and Daughter Time. Appearing with Rohrs October 28 will be a Country- Western group, Sam and the Country Blue, added to the entertainment that evening for dancing convenience.

Having lived in San Diego since 1847, members of the Hom family will be on campus to perform dances and to tell about their family's history and culture in the United States.

'Welfare' heads documentary film series Six of Frederick Wiseman's unique and powerful documentary films are featured for this year's viewing here beginning with Welfare October 24, and concluding with High School April 24. All showings begin at 8 p.m. in the P-32 auditorium "Welfare is an inside look at one of the key institutions around which society functions . . . and like his other films it is profoundly disturbing, especially for those with preconceptions. As Wiseman's film shows, a welfare centre is a battleground with the poor fighting
desperately against a complex web of 'Catch 22' regulations that can defeat even the strongest and cleverest . . . An amazing film," writes Ken Wlaschin in the London Film Festival Program,1975.
"Welfare shows in the most graphic terms that the welfare mess is not going to go away, because it is a consequence, not a cause,of the incalcuably larger mess of modern industrial society ... " expresses Joseph Morgenstern in the New York Times. Wiseman is said to be probably the
most sophisticated intelligence to enter the documentary field in recent years. "The outstanding and inexplicable quality of Wiseman's cinema is his ability to be everpresent to capture with his camera and recorder a half-spoken word or the shadow of a lie, without ever seeming to intrude or to condition the way his subjects behave in the presence of the film crew. Beyond this is the power to organize the material. ~ . so as never to compromise the truth of the record, but
to convey at once the choas of human activity in a society where the social machines are perilously overloaded and the makeshift sort of order that can sometimes be imposed by sheer force of goodwill," writes David Robinson, in the London Times. Tickets are on sale now at the Community Services office. Series tickets are $2 general admission or $1 with student or Gold Cards. Individual showings are $.50 general admission or $.25 for stu¡ dent or Gold Card holders.
