Bluegrass On Campus
100% Pure
Another silhouetted scene from the Square Dance held recently at the Student
Center.
Bluegrass music came to Capitol last week, pretty good
bluegrass by the way, and hardly anybody showed up to
hear Bob Doyle and the Buffalo Chipkickers as they
performed at two symposiums, a square dance and a coffee
house at the student center to a combined crowd of about
100 people.
Those people that did attend were entertained by a
dedicated group of musicians, dedicated in the sense that
although the crowd at each performance was not large,
they went through each gig with every thing they had. The
group truly loves the music formed by a banjo, bass, guitar
and fiddle-and in various combinations of these instru
ments, they are keeping alive an American folk tradition,
the song. Aside from their playing, the group took time to
explain the role of each instrument in the development of
what we know as Bluegrass music, as well as answering
questions from the audience.
At the conclusion of the coffee house on Tuesday night,
the Chipkickers jammed with people who had brought their
instruments along that evening in a musical free-for-all.
In the coming weeks, more Coffee Houses are planned
each being on a Tuesday night, with music, tables, soft
lights and coffee. It's up to you to provide whatever else
will make your evening's entertainment more enjoyable, so
check the posters around school and the Hot Lion in the
C.C.READEReach week for the date of the next Coffee
House at the Student Center. Activities on Campus can
only succeed with your support, and Dave Nicholas, Social
committee chairman is doing all he can to make this year at
Capitol one of the best years activity-wise.

Retrospective
I thought
I'd seen the light
Though now
I'm not so sure
How bright it was
To leave.
I thought
I knew how much
I cared
About someone
Who gave me
Everything
I thought I needed
Alone at last
Or just alone?
The answer still
Eludes me.
Though I've tried
To sort it out
A final clue?
The one so dear
No longer near.
The light that filled
The day
Has slipped away.
And what remains
Are constant pains
Of life
Without 10ve...
Without you.
F.S.P.

Looking back
At years spent trying
To make a real thing work
Realizing
Just how much
I failed.
Trying to forget
The many times
I made you cry.
Hoping that you know
It hurt me, too.
Hoping
Life might give me
A moment more to show
That losing you
Made clear to me
How much I didn't know

Its raining across the harbor
On this the day after you call
And the first winds of winter
Are blowing dry leaves round the wall
As I wait here wondering
What new color light bulb to install
Hey, hey how was, how was that
And are you still feeding the cat?
By the way I bought a new hat
Well it sure was good having this chat
See ya later, so long
I stumble to the kitchen
to make up some eggs and some toast
I feed transparent and vanquished
like some Shakespearen ghost
And looking through the screen door
I watch as waves crash on the coast
Yeah, yeah, I wish you my best
Give my love to Ruth and the rest
By the way I changed toothpaste to Crest
It was first on the cavity test
Take it easy, good bye

I saw them in the mirror
When they entered the bar
He with his big hat
She with her big eyes.
Some dude hangin' on the
juke-box said
In a loud drunken voice,
"Hey baby, how 'bout a little
piece?"
"Peace?" she said
The dude with the big hat
Smashed the cat hangin' on
the juke-box
Right upside his head.
"Peace?" she said
