Prism Offers Music, Forums
The Prism is central
Virginia's locale for folk and
folk-type music, occasional
forums, and informal
camaraderie among University
students and faculty.
Located at 214 Rugby
Road, just past Westminster
Church, the Prism is in its fifth
year of presenting local
entertainers and singers from
the entire Eastern seaboard.
Friday and Saturday nights
professionals appear (cover
charge usually 50 cents), with
music usually going until one
or 2 a.m.
Expansion and redecoration
took place in 1970, making
seating capacity 160 and
adding a conversation room
stocked with underground
newspapers and miscellaneous
literature.
The Prism occasionally
presents play and open
discussions center on politics,
films, and controversial issues.
Among participants in 1969-70
were Mayor Vogt, President
Shannon, and pro- and anti-war
spokesmen.
Cider, soft drinks, various
teas, and five cent coffee
complement the music
The Prism always welcomes
new performers and persons to
assist in management and
publicity. A non-profit
operation sponsored by the
United Ministry Foundation,
the Prism is run independently
by a steering committee of
students, faculty, and
chaplains.
