Crafts Center
One of the highlights of this
year's Crafts Center will be
a Pottery Workshop given by
Rick Crown of Charlotte,
this is a free demonstration
starting at 10:00 a.m. on
Saturday, December 11 with
participation in the afternoon
beginning at 1:30. Rick is
bringing a special wheel to
throw large pots, and also
some of his own work. This
is a very special demonstration
that shouldn't be missed I
legend of Oedipus, a man who
killed his father and married
his mother. This version of
the play is known for its
powerful dramatic impact.
The Taming of the Shrew is
a hilarious comedy, and is
concerned with the marriage
of a liberated, independent
woman and the man destined
to tame her.
Both plays will be presented
by the Young Vic Company,
an outstanding ensemble of
performers taken from the
famous Old Vic Company of
London. This wiH be the first
appearance of the Young Vic
Company in this area.
a quasi-prostitute, finds that
also more than he can handle.
Carrie Snodgress shines as
the slatternly wife whose
great joy is watching TV car
toons and whose drunkenness
results in the drowning of
her infant daughter. Anjanette
Comer is superbly effective as
the semi-professional with her
own shabby brand of dignity.
"Rabbit, Run," about
immature people caught up in
situations too difficult to cope
with, has the ring of truth in
every scene.

Tom Rush:
A Man in Concert
BY CATHIE FAINT
Tom Rush, performing in
Dana Auditorium on Friday
December 10, at 8:00 p.m.,
will provide the acoustic rock
and folk music which has kept
him popular for over a decade.
Rush began his career
singing in a cow pasture
before a live audience: the
cows. "My next big gig was
at the Concord State Mental
Hospital," in the senility ward
where his mother worked as a
volunteer.
of the sixties, Rush created
a small, but loyal following.
As a student at Harvard, he
decided to drop out for a year
to see if he could support
himself playing music. He
could. Rush then returned
to Harvard to graduate with a
degree in English Lit.
Claims Rush, "That seemed
harmless - and it was so
harmless I couldn't make a
living at it." So the gravelly
voiced Rush had to return
to his music.
Although he contributes
many original songs of his
own to his repertoire. Rush
is better known for popularizing
such "unknowns" as james
Taylor, Joni Mitchell, and
Jackson Browne. The first
time people heard of Mitchell
and Browne is when their
names appeared beneath song
titles on Rush's "Circle
Game" LP. But, Rush
doesn't accept the credit for
discovering these artist, "If i
hadn't done it those people
would have gotten recorded
anyway. They were too good
to go unnoticed." Still his
ability to find the best is
uncanny.
He contributes the absence
of his own original material
to a lack of discipline and a
fragile ego. He can get
talked out of playing his own
songs if, "one in twenty
people don't like it."
A six-hundred acre farm in
December 6,1976
Hillsboro, New Hampshire is
where Rush now makes his
home with his son Benjamin.
These, along with his interests
in sculpting and soaring in a
glider are Rush's delights.
Rush is particularly effective
onstage before small
audiences. Says Rush, "You
get to deal directly with the
audience in a way that's just
not possible when you're
playing in a hockey rink."
Spending the $2.00 (for
Guilford students), or $4.00
(non-Guilford students), or
$5.00 (day of show) will be
well worth every cent to hear
this man of such extraordinary
talent. A special guest well
known to many of you will
also be appearing. Come on
out to Dana on Friday for a
good time before exams
sponsored by your College
Union, and pick up an album
afterwards.
