KUFolk Singing Is Spontaneous, Casual,Indefinite
The recent warm, dry weather has not been accepted ungracefully by everyone. This fact can be clearly seen every Friday at the Campanile
A spectator just passing by might think the Greenwich Village set has taken to KU. Sometimes as many as 50 or 60 folk singers will converge on the Campanile to sing songs and talk over various aspects of the contemporary boom.
King has had contact with the Vanguard crowd made up of personalities such as Joan Baez and Pete Ziegler. Wall has played at Abdul's Coffeehouse in Lawrence, and at night spots in New York City. He also has had his own radio program in Alaska. Ruhe has played several folk singing engagements in San Francisco.
"Sometimes we just sing songs that we like," said Miss Knight, "and other times someone may have a new song that he teaches everyone. Many of the singers feel we should be authentic in our selection and singing. For this reason, the popular versions of the Kingston Trio and other groups are not always the most accepted types of folk singing."
The group contains some pretty fast moving company with people like Kenneth King, Lawrence graduate student; John Wahl, Lawrence freshman; and Chris Ruhe, Leawood senior.
ACCORDING to Martha Knight, Mission junior, the group is rather spontaneous. There is never any definite program planned for the get-togethers.

Miss Knight said members of the group are available for special occasions, parties and other activities around the campus. There is no charge made by the persons who play.
