It ' s Time To Take A Break Singing for the show, Chris Deelsnyder was just one of the students featured in the student Coffeehouse held for Parent ' s Weekend in early November. The week be- fore, students competed against one another for the privilege, and the pay, to perform the following weekend for parents, alumni, and friends. What ' s the next best thing to a school night coffee break? How about a Coffe- house. During the first semester, the Student Union sponsored quite a few evenings of relaxing music, entertain- ment, refreshments, and student par- ticipation, whereby students could get together during the week and take a break from academic life. The fall semester Coffehouse concert series began with an evening of comic wit and lively music provided by Brian Huskey and enjoyed by many. Soon afterward the Smith Sisters came to Boren Lounge and dazzled everyone with their sibling harmonies and un- canny ability to play unusual instru- ments. Their evening presentation proved quite entertaining for the stu- dents attending. A slightly smaller but no less enthusiastic audience attended the following Coffehouse featuring Joel Landau. Playing guitar and harmonica, his music kept the atmosphere very re- laxing and soothing as mid-term exams drew near. For Parent ' s Weekend in early No- vember, Guilford students took the stage for a Coffehouse of their own. After an earlier contest to see who would participate in the weekend ' s show, a number of students did their best to provide solid entertainment. ? After ' all, mom or dad could be out there ■ in the audience watching. Some stan- douts included Doc Roberts and Parker | Turpin on guitar and singing duets.

The Quaker defense came out strong shutting the Emory and Henry Wasps down to only 14 yards on 9 carries for their running back Sandy Rogers. When the defense caught the Wasp punter at his 34, Quaker kicker Bryan Wilson put one through the uprights for 3. The crowd responded and so did the team. Scott O ' Kelly recovered a fumble at the Wasp 19 and Wilson put another one through the goalposts. Then in the fourth quar- ter the Quakers finished off the Wasps when running back Brent Tart took off 33 yards for a touchdown that brought the crowd to its feet and the Wasps to their knees. The final score 13-0 became a fine way to wrap up a great Home- coming weekend. The game was over. The weekend was over. But there was still plenty of homework left. Only five more days till Friday!

On Thursday November 1.5 in the to the Grill Room things got a little crazier magic and a little louder. The Red Herring Trio presented their musical mayhem and instrumental insanity. Playing trumpets, guitars, bass fiddle, ukelele, harmonica, xylophone and even a saw, the three musicians left quite an im- pression on those who went to the Grill Room that evening. And finally in Sternberger Auditorium the Coffehouse season for the first semester came to a close on December .5 just before exams began. The Big Zucchini Washboard Bandits presented lively, raucus, and rousing music that provided an unusual evening ' s performance.
