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

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.)

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.

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."

lieve it or not, Nebraska can get
one heckuva lot colder than South
Carolina.
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. P.
cllected a sarmple of sand, sent
two postcards, bought a news
paper, had a cup of coffee and
then started back.
In short, semester break was a
wild week. I, for one, was sorry to
see it end.

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

promptly chopped them down with
machine guns. "Bugs," who ar

was in progress, made a hasty de

gun fire. This famous expression
of gangland love (or lack of the
