Show Coffee House Brews With Live Music by Bill Kilpack Forum editorial assistant In answer to the lack of participation in the more traditional activitieson campus, ASWC has started a new entertainment program, Coffee House, presenting live entertainment. Starting on Feb. 14, 1991, the Coffee House program will begin with singer songwriter, Phillip Scott Bryan. In two sessions, starting at 6 p.m., he will sing and play at Syme Lounge in Shaw Center. Admission is free, although we accept donations," said Bruce Bambi Lambert, ASWC president. In reaction to the low attendance at the Beach Party, with about 70 people in attendance, and 40 to 60 students attending the Fall Formal, the Spring Formal was canceled. The money originally allocated ng easy-listeni- 45-minu- te for the event has been used to fund Coffee House and the various movie nights, said Jeff Swanson, speaker of the Legislative Assembly. You cant please everybody all the time, said Lambert, so were presenting different things to see how they work. Bryan has referred to his musical style as folk music with pop influences, mixing original songs with others by such artists as James Taylor, Paul Simon and Steve Goodman. With the Coffee House program, it is students hoped that more will involve themselves where the high school-styl- e proms failed to spark their Lambert said. interest, to According Lambert, the atmosphere at the Coffee House will be light, with coffee, punch and light snacks available on a buffet-styl-e table, so students can come neo-suburb- an non-tradition- al ASWC Beach Party Browns No Booze, No Buns, No Fun! by Laurie Weed Forum staff writer An estimated 35-4- 0 people attended the annual ASW C Beach Party in the Organ Loft on Jan. 18. The Beach Party is traditionally held to welcome everyone back for Spring semester, said ASWC president, Bruce Bambi Lambert. ASWC vice president, Matt Beard, attributed the low turnout to new Utah liquorlaws and the fact that this traditional activity does not always appeal to Westminsters large number of students. As of Jan. 1, g is no longer legal in Utah. We used to bring our own bottles to the dances, Beard said. I had three or four people, who usually go to these things, come up to me and tell me they were boycotting the dance because there would non-tradition- al brown-baggin- be no alcohol. Shannan Stalnaker, a student who lives in the dorm, said she thought the lack of alcohol made only a small difference in the number of students who showed up. The dorm students, who are the traditional age, usually support the dances, she said. Maybe the lack of alcohol made a difference with the students, because they couldnt sit down and have a sociable drink. Stalnaker said the dance was fun although the entertainment was less than entertaining at first. We had to bug the DJ to play some real music. He was waiting for everyone else to show up, she said. The mere fact that the Beach Party was held a week earlier than usual may be another reason for the lack of interest. Beard said people were still adjusting to the new semester and had classes on their minds more than dances. Westminster is becoming more and more Beard said. So we are experimenting with some less traditional activities. The upcoming Coffee House events are targeted for the older students as well as the usual dormies and party-goerLambert said, This ones for the non-tradition- non-tradition- al, s. grown-up- s. 1991, singer song writer, Jill Holly will be performing for Coffee House from 9 p.m. in Nunemaker.

Next year, according to Swanson, the Coffee House program will be budgeted for, allowing three or four activities per semester without spending a lot of money, and might include comedians.

Your demeanor is easily passed on the hired by help, so be pleasant and professional with everyone. 4.
