Folksing Of Life A By JOHN DAVID SPADE Saff Writer Following a recent concert ap pearance in Columbia, Peter Yar row of America's No. 1 Folksing ing group, Peter, Paul, and Mary, revealed portions of his complex personality and philosophy. A native of New York City, Yarrow has cultivated his inter ests in Art and Music throughout his academic and professional life. He attended the High School of Music and Arts where he d i s c o v e r ed himself as a p e r f o r m N er. He supple mented his m o r e conven tional training Yarrow at M and A with summer study and work at such places as Woodstock. an art colony in New York, and Chatau qua, a music colony where he studied the violin. College life for Yarrow was often a struggle . . . especially financially. L i v i n g off-campus near C o r n e Il, his chosen Alma Mater, he cooked "mostly spa ghetti" for himself and his three roommates. He worked as every thing from dishwasher to table waiter. Now, earning more in a week than he did throughout his Enterta innmen Play Fa SEPARATE TABIES Town Theatre's current produe tion, Separate TablIs, is a superior example of dry English drama spiced occasionally by crusty dia logue that vaguely resembles wit. (If you care about that sort of thing.) Paul Kaufman's direction skill spotlights characterizations w i t h ease and(l dignity, but fails to make Terrence Rattigan's play I i t t I e more than dull. Jim O'Shea, excel lent as always, along with Ruth Gottlieb Moore, was interesting; togethcr they portrayed duel roles of dated "lovers," both platonic and passionate, but the real inter est was created by Helen Mendel and Chip Griffin, who represented an overbearing widow and a striv ing s t uI d e n t (reminiscent of the Carolina variety), respectively. Others worth noting, but hardly worth praising were Connie Britt, Pe4ggyT Petroff, and Frank Bell.

SAPE AS coFFEE ar Talks nd War entire college career, Yarrow re mains basically the same warm, deeply considerate personality of his more carefree years at M and A. As complex a personality as Peter Yarrow is, any description beyond his physical appearance is extremely difficult. There is, how ever, one way in which everyone can know him; that is, through his singing. Yarrow finds that through singing, "in concert," songs which proclaim, protest and praise vari ous themes, both old and new, he can project his personality and at the same time absorb the "mass personality" of his audience. Yarrow expressed deep concern over the Viet Nani conflict and expressed his opinion that a peace ful s o I u t i o n could possibly be brought about. To be of any last ing value, however, he suggested that such negotiations would have to end in a free world victory . . . not a stalemate like the Korean conflict ended in. Peter Yarrow proved to be "just another guy" after the novelty of his being a world-famous enter tainer had worn off. His desire to merge his personality with the people that surround him results in a disarming friendliness and sincere attitude that makes him, above all, the type of human being that "there just ought to be more 'of." t ils To "Make 'TilUNDER1AIJ I hate to bring up somewhat o b s o e t e subject-matter, but I finallysaw the highly publiciZed Overlookin g many opinions that "It's just too fantastic" or "It's a let-down a ft e r Goldfinger," I rather liked the darn thing. Ter rence Young's agility in directing carries over into each scene with precision and leaves no loopholes fori me to harp on about my pet peeve of slow pace. Photography is original, and the theme, sung by Tom Jones, is a powerful postscript to Shirley Bassey's turn-table tri uimph.

The dormitories are deserted. One good thing about this is that radios and record-players may be turned up to a volume which ap proaches the threshold of pain. But o t h e r than that, there's nothing to do during the day. I solved that problem, along with a few others, by staying up all night and sleeping all day. Another USC student, who shall remain nameless (his initials are T. A. P., he hails from Linwood, N. J., and he graduated in Jan uary), found other ways to avoid the boredom. This particular per son spent 34 hours hitch-hiking to and from Fort Lauderdale (about 1,400 miles roundtrip). Total time spent "where the boys are" amounted to one hour. T. A.

His torically, it might be just another dull holiday were it not for the unusual manners in which some of its celebrants have expressed their love. On February 14, 1929, seven members of George "Bugs" Moran's notorious gang assembled in a garage at 2122 North Clark St. in Chicago, where they were to receive the biggest "surprise valen tine" in their lives.

This famous expression of gangland love (or lack of the same) is known as the St. Valen tine's Day Massacre. The original holiday was de rived from the Roman Feast.
