The Prism Coffeehouse will
close out this academic year's
season with Mark Surgies performing
on Friday and Saturday nights.
Mark has performed once before
this year at the Coffeehouse and in
several outdoor concerts.
Beginning at 9:30 On Friday and
10 on Saturday, Mr. Surgies will
play his extensive repertoire of
traditional English, Irish and American
folk music. He accompanies
himself on guitar and banjo in the
"old timely" style. The cover charge
will be 50 cents both nights.
After this weekend the Prism
will remain open on an informal
basis to serve those who desire to
take a break from exam studios.
Xanadu will be open this weekend,
entrance to the headshop will be
free until 9 p.m.
After exams the Prism will close
for remodeling and repairs. Its
activities will resume with the start
of the summer session, June 20-21.
During the summer there will be
paid entertainment on the weekends
and the basket house on
Wednesday. Xanadu will also be
open this summer.
A spokesman for the Prism
Steering Committee said yesterday
that on behalf of the entire
Coffeehouse staff he would like to
thank all those people who have
supported the Prism this year, and
especially those who had attended
the Coffeehouse's open air concert
on the Lawn which netted the
University Transition Fund $137.
The spokesman added that any
person who has any criticisms or
suggestions concerning the Prism's
operation is welcome to express his
opinions to the Steering Committee
at 9 p.m. on Tuesday or to write
the Prism at 214 Rugby Road.
The Coffeehouse is interested in
hiring workers and performers for
the summer. Any person desiring to
play at the Prism can contact Bob
Crawford at 293-3386. All performers
get paid half of the total cover
charge collected at the door on the
night he performs.
