Until recently, the cinema had only one theatre and doubled as a concert hall. In the 1970's Bruce Springsteen. David Bowie, and Bob Dylan were among the many superstars who played before audiences of nearly 2000 in the theatre, Graham said...
...Alice Walker's poems, and her talk, were not marked by pessimism. The previous night she had hosted the Jazz for Life concert. There she was, tapping her feet to the music, dancing onstage with Brother Blue, and having a great time.

About $4000, half the social slice of the government's $60,000 pie, has been set aside to distribute to House committees for sponsoring campus wide House...
