Jerry Jeff Walker. Ol' Jerry Jeff's routine of just being, heck, just ol' Jerry Jeff can be a mite wearing at times, but his songs grow on you. "Mr. Bojangles" is Walker's classic, but even on less distinguished tunes, you can count on some clever lines, a catchy melody and some good guitar playing. He is performing with B.W. Stevenson, whose "My Maria" was one of those forgettable songs you found yourself singing during economics lectures or unconsciously harmonizing with every time it hit your car radio. Through Saturday, March 30 at the Performance Center...

American Graffiti is not a soft soap film like its nostalgia predecessors. The end of the film, which is a mite too fanciful (with the college bound boy flying away on "Magic Carpet Airways"), is sober if not sobering. Everybody does not get his girl. But everyone does make his decision. One way or another, for one reason or another, the boys have taken their cards and Lucas will force each one to play them...

Japan's Honda Motor Co., the mighty mite of motorcycles, leaped into the lead of the auto industry's clean-air derby last week. The firm's new low-pollution auto engine became the first ever to pass all the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's emission control criteria for 1975, standards that the Detroit leviathans have tirelessly argued could not be met in time. Honda immediately informed the EPA that it is breaking ranks with most other car producers and would no longer seek a one-year postponement of the 1975 requirements. Company officials say that...

...Youngblood once took on a wrestling bear in a carnival and dispatched the beast with a single blow. Glover, a two-time All-America, has been unstoppable as a middle guard for the Cornhuskers. Scouts predict that he will be just as menacing as an outside linebacker. Though a mite small for that position, he may "more than make up for it with his speed, range and knack for diagnosing plays...
