...your story on oldtime fiddlin' [April 26], I heartily agree with the judge that bluegrass and rock 'n' roll is ruining the oldtime music. My father being an old-time fiddle champion, I was raised up on that kind of music, but the hokum that's allowed at some of these contests is far from the original music.

Leaflets dealing with strike issues flooded the campus, and loudspeakers blared out impassioned oratory. A rock band entertained students with well-amplified sounds, and at one point a pro-rebel group staged a mock funeral procession. A group called the Pageant Players acted out skits lampooning the administration, and played a game of their own invention called "Trustee" on what resembled an outsize Monopoly board...
Second place will go to Saddle Rock Farm's Francie's Hat; show horse will be Bwamazon Farm's T.V. Commercial. But the changes in the Derby record book will not answer the big questions: Who drugged Dancer's Image? When...
