DICK GREGORY
Night club and television comedian who has touched the raw nerve of the white world with his sharp, rapier-like humor. Mr. Gregory has not only preached, but he has practiced; often making great personal sacrifice, both physical and financial, to toss himself into the maelstrom of the civil rights battle. A leader of great international peace movements and author of the recent best seller Nigger.

8:00 P.M., HAWKINS HALL
HOGAN'S GOAT

NINA SIMONE
A colored Afro-American, far out, strange singer who has hit the big towns, LP discs and T. V. shows. She sings a song differently and has convictions about the songs she sings. The letters that spell LIVE also spell NINA. As for the word SIMONE - be cool, Jack, be cool!
