University of Virginia Library

Student Operated

Although the entire physical
operation of the Prism is handled
exclusively by University students,
the Steering Committee acts in
both an advisory and legislative
capacity, and decisions affecting
various administrative procedures
are reached by a majority vote.

Until recently, activities at the
Prism were limited to folk music
entertainment, chess and checkers,
and an occasional symposium,
lately, however, it has undergone
several changes.

Due to the large number of
music enthusiasts which had been
frequenting the Prism, more space
was needed to accommodate them.
A wall was removed in the main
concert room, and the stage was
relocated to provide space for extra
tables and chairs.
