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. ?
