Tenor Jim Fredericks and bass Saverio Barbieri gave the best performances among the men. Both seemed to have fun with their parts. Barbieri definitely needs work on his dancing but his dynamic bass voice overshadows his poor footwork. Vocally the women did not come across as well as the men, largely because of a lack of balance.

Conference-- hom page 18 schools as well. .. Smith went on to explain the potential of the conference. "The conference could be very strong in soccer," he said. "SIU, UMSL and Wisconsin­ Green Bay have been perennial powers in championship play." "In basketball, UMsi, Wis­ consin-Green Bay and Northern Kentucky have traditionally fine programs and, in baseball, UMSL and SIU have been in national competition," he said. As far as distance between the schools is concerned, the far­ thest distance is 510 miles from Green Bay, Wisconsin to Cov­ ington, Kentucky. There are stiIJ a few details to be ironed out, though, before these schools can compete against each other on a con­ ference-oriented basis. There­ fore, Smith and his colleagues will hold another meeting some­ time in the future. Until then, the proposed conference will have to wait for its inception into the world of college athletics . .. At the next meeting, a representative from each athletic committee will be present," said Smith. "We will
