A rarity on most college cam
puses these days is good comedy.
ALONG WITH a good beer, a
steady girl and a few "crip"
courses, a sense of humor is- an
essential characteristic of a well
rounded college student.
Without a. doubt, there is an
acute shortage of comedy at USC.
Most of our entertainment on
campus has centered on musical
events and films.
With music one just sits down,,
relaxes and allows his eardrus to
do the work. Movies generally put
a strain on your eyes and intellect.
Your body remains stable unless
the film concerns sex or gory

GOOD COMEDY is different.
When one laughes, the entire
mentabolism is set in motion. You
can break out into a . sweat, strain
your vocal chords and even slip a
disc in your back while laughing.
It's excellent experience.
There have been only three
outstanding comedy acts at USC in
recent memory; Edmonds and
Curley in January, Mad Mountain
Mime in February and the
Muledeer and Moondog Medicine
show last week in the Golden Spur.
THE MEDICINE Show helped
celebrate the first anniversary of
the campus Nite Club by packing
the place Tuesday and Wednesday
nights.

spared their biting humor.

Medicine Show felt the vibes from
the audience and seemed to put on
an extra special performance
because of it.
eThe next night was quite dif
ferent: The audience seemed
passive from start to end. Puns
caught the first night were missed
by the second night's crowd.
THERE APPEARED to be two
reasons for this docile attitude. A
large percentage of the Wednesday
crowd were present at the per
formance the night before. As a
result, the punch lines came as no
surprise to them
Without a doubt, though, "The
Muledeer and Moondog Medicine
Show" was a plus for USC. They
left a lasting impression on most
everyone in the Spur.
