She doesn 't beg or apologize for her songs , or even promote or introduce them. They are hers are her —and she presents them straight forwardly, unbend- ingly, integrity intact , refus- ing to jazz them up or bring them down to her audience ' s taste or level. JONI FACES her audience with hauteur , even hostility. She ' s self-righteous about her music , even rude.

If you ' re very quiet , if you know her songs and enjoy them , it seems , Joni will sing them for you. Joni makes no allowances for pace. In her two-and-one-half hours of song, she bunched together a half dozen of her dreariest , least-known and slowest-tempo ballads. She seems almost to dare the au- dience to get bored and leave , and quite a few took her up on it. BUT , TOO , she sings the best of her old stuff and "Court and Spark" and the new album. Joni sings them all bit- ter , optimistic and achingly beautiful. From across a sea of faces her own face is a well-boned blur under a panama hat , and , not seeing her mouth move , it' s even easier to im- agine the sounds as coming from some incredible in- strument instead of a voice. And the voice reaches everywhere: from down deep or high in her head , hoarse, caged , free , a moan , a cry , a hundred words crammed into one breath or one sylla- ble stretched out over time and rhythm , highs that echo through the auditorium and lows that ache in her throat and in your own. TO LIKE JONI , you have to love her voice , and it has to be enough. It is enough for Joni' s fans , the sensitive highschoolers who feel Joni understands them and their own "dark cafe days; " the lovers of her poetry or her guitar or her piano; those who say they don 't really like " girl singers " or "pop sin- gers " but who make an ex- ception for Joni . . . If Joni must so depend on a voice , at least that voice is recording-studio perfect. If Joni stands or falls by her voice , last week she stood and flew and soared , and along with her she took crowds of thousands lucky enough to be along.

Weldingprograminformsstudents

Joe Kiefer , junior fromIowa City, demonstratesthe art of welding at thewelding engineering OpenHouse.

By Georgia Bay

There are only three places in the world where astudent can earn a degree in welding engineering.Ohio State is one of them.

Because Ohio State is the only school in the UnitedStates to offer a B.S. in welding engineering, the stu-dents of that department th ink more peop le shouldknow about it. They recently held their fourt h annualopen house.

The open house was part of an organized programof familiarizing other students with the department ,said Roy B. McCauley, chairman of the Department ofWelding Engineering. He added that he thought thepresence of welding engineering will bring a numberof students to Ohio State.

WELDING engineering is a diversified field whichrequires background in many other branches of en-gineering. Basically it concerns the processes in-

volved in welding materials together and the testingand efficiency of the welds.

Japan and Russia are the other two places where adegree in weld ing engineer ing can be earned.McCauley said other schools in the United Stateshave attempted to set up programs but have not beenable to receive accreditation. He attributed OhioState 's success part ial ly to the size of the school andthe variety of classes that can be offered here.

"THE THING that thrills me is the enthusiasm andcooperation of we ld ing engineer ing s tudents ,"McCauley said.

Steve Balogh , a senior from Columbus , explained."We 're trying to reach the students. " He said ifpeople in University College were interested or un-decided "we would like for them to give us a look. "

There are approximately 125 students in weldingengineering but Balogh said it is growing. "Thereason for the Open House is growth. "

BALOGH SAID job opportunity for a welding en-gineer is good. "Grads of this department never havea problem with job offers. There 's no place elseemployers can come. "

The department also offers a general course fornonmajors , Welding Engineering 240.

Part of the program for weld ing engineer ingmajors includes working during the summer at re-lated jobs.

Dental hours upThe m i n i m u m under -

graduate requi rements foradmission to the College ofDentistry has changed from90 to 135 c red i t hours ofacademic s tudy at an ap-

proved college.The change will go 'into ef

Joni - breathlessly beautifulBy Richard Jonas

Review

The L.A. Express finishesits loud , jazzy set.

The lights go up, then dieagain for the first breathless ,r hy thmic , hopefu l , pret ty-poignant s trains of "Hel pMe."

Suddenly she 's s t and ingthere before you: JoniMi tche l l , the Joni of athousand magical , musicalimages —Joni , the lady withthe lacy sleeves and the holein her s tocking; thewildwood flower with hereyes full of moon and herheart full and hollow; Joniwho kisses on Main Streetand counts lovers on herside; the Joni of dark cafedays and Chelsea mornings;Joni who has looked at lifefrom both sides now.

Joni appeared at severalcampuses across Ohio lastweek , including a stint at theUniversity of Cincinnati Ar-mory Fieldhouse one weekago. She was wort h tr avelingfor.

WITH JONI i t s all music ,and she stands or falls withher songs. Joni is unyielding,uncompromising. There areno gimmicks , no patter , nojokes , no costume changes ,no attempt at showmanship.It' s an hour into the set be-fore she speaks; she smilesonly once and then fleeting-

ly, and if the crowd hadn 'tasked an encore of her , shewould never have laughed.

She doesn 't beg orapologize for her songs , oreven promote or introducethem. They are hers — areher —and she presents themstraight forwardly, unbend-ingly, integrity intact , refus-ing to jazz them up or bringthem down to her audience 'staste or level.

JONI FACES her audiencewith hauteur , even hostility.She 's self-righteous abouther music , even rude. Shehas a word for a back-upguitarist who 's out of tune ,and many words spill out toher lovers and hate-lovers ofsong, but the audienc e isplaced firmly behind a glasswall of Joni' s construction.

If you 're very quiet , if youknow her songs and enjoythem , it seems, Joni will singthem for you.

Joni makes no allowancesfor pace.

In her two-and-one-ha l fhours of song, she bunchedtogether a half dozen of herdreariest , least-known andslowest-tempo ballads. Sheseems almost to dare the au-dience to get bored andleave , and quite a few tookher up on it.

BUT , TOO, she sings the

best of her old stuff and"Court and Spark" and thenew album.

Joni sings them all — bit-ter , optimistic and achinglybeautiful.

From across a sea of facesher own face is a well-bonedblur under a panama hat ,and , not seeing her mouthmove , it' s even easier to im-agine the sounds as comingfrom some incredib le in-s t rument instead of a voice.

And the voice reacheseverywhere: from down deepor high in her head , hoarse ,caged , free , a moan , a cry , ahundred words c rammedinto one breath or one sylla-ble stretched out over timeand rhythm , highs that echothrough the auditorium andlows that ache in her throatand in your own.

TO LIKE JONI , you have tolove her voice , and it has to

be enough. It is enough forJoni ' s fans , the sensitivehighschoolers who feel Joniunderstands them and theirown "dark cafe days; " thelovers of her poetry or hergui tar or her piano; thosewho say they don 't really like"girl singers " or "pop sin-gers" but who make an ex-ception for Joni . . .

If Joni must so depend on avoice , at least that voice isrecord ing-s tud io perfect .

If Joni stands or falls byher voice , last week she stoodand flew and soared , andalong wi th her she tookcrowds of thousands luckyenough to be along.
