PAGE 4 oda •er eviews 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.

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. Jin'l[fl 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 C.C.
