Fraternity Pyramid
Pyramiding their beer mugs, the six (fraternities that make up the Alfred University Interfraternity Council are repre-
sented by their official coats of arms on the mugs. From top, left to right, are the crests of Kappa Psi Upsilon, Tau Delta Phi, Delta Sigma Phi, Lambda Chi Alpha, Klan Alpine, and Phi Epsilon Pi.
I Peter, Paul, and Mary, one of the hottest folk-singing groups around, will highlight the Interfraternity Weekend with a Saturday (Dec. 8) afternoon concert in Alumni Hall from 2 to 4 p.m.
Tre trio recently turned out a smash hit recording of "The Ham- mer Song," an old, traditional folk- song that was a standard in the Limeliters' repertoire. They have also made successful recordings of
"The Lemon Tree" and "Five Hun- dred Miles," and their Warner Bros, long playing album, "Peter, Paul and Mary." is on the best seller lists*
Peter, Paul, and Mary Is compos- ed Cornell graduate Peter Yarrow, nearly six feet tall Mary Allin Travers, and one-time Greenwich Village comic Paul Stookey. Togeth-
er, they have appeared at the Blue Angel, the hungri "i", the Gate of
Peter, Paul and Mary
Horn, and other night clubs throughout the nation. They have also made appearances on the "To-
day Show" and "P.M. East."
Initial Repertoire
Their initial repertoire Of 18 numbers was worked up over a period of seven months. They were arranged by Milton Okun, who formerly worked ^rith Harry Belar fonte.
Peter, Paul, and Mary have been described as "a tall, silly blonde who believes in looking as good as
she sounds, and two young men who know how to wear Brooks Bro- thers suits with their beards and guitars."
"We are a cosmopolitan group,"
says the group's Peter Yarrow. "It would be dishonest for us to imitate the folk singing style of any par- ticular ethnic group. But our urban background is an asset. We can
present in a modern musical form the feelings of many ethnic groups»
and do it with integrity."
Unmarried
Mary Travers was born in Lou- isville, Kentcky, and Paul Stookey grew up in Birmingham, Michigan, before they converged on Peter's native New York City. They are all unmarried, and in their early twen- ties.
They are billed as having achiev- ed "a rare artistic empathy that results from their knowing them- selves, knowing their music, and releasing the natural qualities of both, . uninhibited by gimmicks.
Whether the song requires the big, driving rhythm of a spiritual or a structure as complex as a Bach fugue, one ringing voice, or the col- oration of a choir, they have found the resources for it without arti- ficiality or strain."
