Punch Of The
Living
Spring and summer tend to
make free spirits a bit freer, a
phenomena wich frequently
culminates in a lot of parties
and picnics. Food plays an
important part in these
gatherings, but since man
cannot live by bread alone, we
must have drink, too.
And, oh, what drink we
shall have! Imagine a chilled
bowl of rosy effervescence
brimming with fresh fruit and
absolutely rife with alcohol.
This delightful and re
markably effective beverage is
most deserved of the name
"punch", as it has the capability
of knocking overindulgers on
their you-know-whats.
But don't let this warning
disillusion you. This punch is
easy to concoct and your guests
will love it.
Paella My Way
BY ANDY ARCE
Paella (Spanish or Valencian
Rice)
8 servings
It is in the part of Spain where
rice grows that the most
interesting rice dishes are to be
found and from where they
originate--along the coast be
tween Alicante and Valencia.
The famous Paella or Valencian
rice is a dish which can range
from the most luxurious meal
garnished with every type of
chicken and seafood, to the poor
man's staple-making use of
scraps of food of every
description. The Spaniards,
have discovered that rice
There are many variations
of this dish for no two people
ever turn out an identical
paella. The following recipe is
my version adapted for
ordinary kitchens since the
original paella is cooked over a
charcoal fire with a paellero
(the cooking vessel which gives
the dish its name). In this case,
an ordinary lidded cassarole
dish or a very large frying pan
will suffice.
1 tender chicken (cut into 6 or 8
pieces)
1 doz. snails or clams
1 doz. mussels
1 small tin of artichoke hearts
1 pint prawns or shrimps
1 pound cooked white fish
(haddock, flounder or perch)
1 pound rice (long grain)
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 onions chopped
4 tomatoes chopped
1 small can (3 1/2-4 ozs.) of
tomatoe paste
1 can of small early peas
2 pints of water (2 cups for
every cup of rice)
olive oil
8 to 10 ozs. of garlic sausage
(choriza) (shoed)
Dead
PUNCH OF THE LIVING
DEAD (makes approx. I'/4
gallons)
Mix in a large bowl:
1 quart grapefruit or pineapple
juice
1 quart orange juice
Juice of two limes
Juice of one lemon
1 quart Seven-Up
1 / 2 cup grenadine
1 fifth "151" rum or 2 fifths
white rum
Add:
4 sliced oranges
2 sliced limes or lemons
1 eight oz. jar drained
meraschino cherries
1 medium peeled, chunked
fresh pineapple
Before serving add a block
of ice.
1 small can of black olives
(pitted)
1 tbsp saffron (2 if you are
Spanish)
1 small tin of pimentos
1 small tin or jar of sweet
peppers
2 or 3 bay leaves
oregano
black pepper (ground)
2 cubes of chicken bouillion
white wine (dry)
Heat about 1/2 pint of olive
oil in a paellaro or large frying
pan. Add the chopped garlic
and cook the chicken slowly,
basting all the time until
golden.
Add the onions, garlic, black
pepper, bay leaves and
oregano. Add the rice and cook
for about 15 minutes over a low
flame. By this time the rice will
have turned slightly golden.
Then add the tomatoes and
tomatoe paste and stir briskly
so the ingredients are evenly
distributed.
Add the 2 pints of boiling'
water into which the saffron
and bouillion cubes have been
dissolved. Then immediately
add the garlic sausage, sweet
peppers, early peas, and the
artichoke hearts. Stir again to
combine ingredients. Before
the rice is disolved add the
snails or clams, mussels, shrimp
or prawn, the black olives and
the white fish and stir slightly.
Then garnish the dish, while it
is still cooking, with the
pimentos. You may want to add
the black olives at this point
instead of earlier. Don't stir in
the pimentos. Cover the pan
and cook over a low heat until
the rice is dissolved (about 15
minutes). When the rice is
almost finished add 1/2 to 3 / 4
cup of dry white wine and heat
for 3 to 5 minutes. Serve
immediately. • •

Spring Concert Thank-Your
On Saturday, May 20, the
Bth annual Capitol Campus
Spring Concert took place.
From the size and reaction of
the crowd and the amount of
trash remaining, the concert
can be considered a sucess. The
groundwork for this success
lies with the people who made
the concert happen. Now that
the concert is a thing of the past
we, the Concert Committee,
would like to thank those
people who made it possible.
We extend special thanks
to:

that only one-half inch more
rain and all trips down the river
would have been cancelled.
They camped in the rain all
weekend and the raft trip
Saturday was cold and wet, due
not only to the river, but also to
the rain. But it dampened only
the bodies, not the spirits.
We would also like to thank

Beginning, Hit and Run, Small
Axe, Oz and Still on the Hill for
their performances;McDonald's
for their ,food; SGA for the
initial money to run the
concert; and all the organiza

Supplies; Joe, Ken and Tom of
the Stage Crew; and Chet and
Mike, our MC's.
We would also like to thank
those students who volun
teered to walk around, direct
traffic, provide first aid and
pick up trash. You people made
the concert work especially
those who worked more than
their two hours. Special thanks
to all those who helped clean up
on Sunday.
If anyone has been omitted,
we are sorry we forgot you but
let it be known that we
