Don Williams comes to Centre in the Square for two shows Sept. 25 at 6: 30 and 9: 30 p.m. Consequently, it is no surprise that he and coâ€"producer Garth Fundis listen to literally hundreds of songs before narrowing them down to the 10 selections which are good enough to make it onto a Williams album. ‘"I know there are some things that I just don‘t like in front. I always just look for the most direct statement that I feel like honestly relates a feeling. I never can put my finger on that, but something about it feels fresh and new." One of those ‘questionable‘ songs was "I Believe In You" which was written by Roger Cook and Sam Hogin. The song was another number one country chart record for Wilâ€" liams, and it also reached the top 25 in the pop music charts, and the top ten in the adult contemporary ratings. At the heart of Williams‘ career, one finds first and foremost a love for quality songs. *‘The entire weight of everything I do is in the material," he said. He is considered by some to be a ‘"songwriter‘s singer.‘" This is due to the feeling Williams brings to a song and also the fact that he, too, is wellâ€"respected for songwriting. A building now under construcâ€" tion at Wilfrid Laurier Universiâ€" ty, to house the music faculty and other academic areas when it is completed in 1988, will be named for John B. Aird. Williams avoids the "lyin‘, cheatin‘, drinâ€" kin‘ ‘" type of songs, His personal and public integrity simply do not permit him to record tunes about these subjects. In his own way, he has been as devoted to the principles of his career as he has been to the moral and ethical standards of his private life. There are some things, in both a public and personal sense, which are for him, beyond Although he has won his share of awards and is considered a genuine superstar, it was neither fame nor fortune which led him to a career as a singer. Primarily, music has been an outlet for Williams to say what is on his mind and in his heart. Aird, the former lieutenantâ€" governor of Ontario was chanâ€" cellor of the university from 1977 to 1985, and is continuing as chancellor emeritus. He will also be installed Sept. 22 as chanâ€" cellor of the University of Toronâ€" Commenting on the announceâ€" ment, Aird had these words: ‘"‘The eight years that I was honored to be chancellor of Wilfrid Laurier University were most rewarding. It is a wellâ€"run, productive and happy place to In announcing that the building will be known as the John B. Aird Centre, Laurier‘s president, Dr. John A. Weir, said Aird has been ‘an outstanding chancellor, whose continuing role as advisor is much appreciated." The John B. Aird Centre will cost $9,750,000 to build and equip.
