" Wild and Wonderful"
By Andre L. Guerrero
What is folk music? Why has
folk music attracted such a large
audience in America? These and
other questions were put to sev-
eral of St. Edward’s most active
folk song enthusiasts. The “col-
ony” of students whose musical
forte is folk expression include
freshmen, sophomores and sen-
iors. That the interest in folk
music is indeed strong on campus
was evident at the ’64 Hilltop
Capers, in which several trios and
solo artists participated. I spoke
to several of the students on their
interpretation of this type of mus-
ic, and their ideas and impres-
sions were as varied as the songs
they sang. To add a bit of contro-
versy to the interviews, I includ-
ed this question: “Which is more

As the camera returns to the
rain-drenched depot, the fourth
and last view of The Outrage is
told by the miner who had been
too cowardly to step forward in
court. The minor asserted that he
had witnessed the whole incident,
that the “lady” had not resisted
Carrasco, that her “gentleman”
had been too cowardly to defend
her honor, and that she had final-
ly shamed her husband into a
duel with the bandito, who also
proved to be a sniveling weakling.
The ridiculous fight that ensued
ended when the Southerner trip-
ped and fell on his own knife.
The Outrage ends at the depot
where the con-man (Edward G.
Robinson) finds an abandoned
baby left with a pouch of gold.
Robinson steals the gold and
leaves on the train; the miner
adopts the child into his humble
household; and the preacher re-
turns to his flock in Silver Gulch.
As the four versions of the plot
were given, the three main char-
acters made transitions from
“hard guy,” “lady” and “gentle-
man” to conniving thief, whore
and disguised coward. All of the
characters in the movie are pre-
sented absurdly and thus human-
ly and humorously. The Outrage
ends on a note of compassion for
man’s nature, which is unques-
tionably fallen. This is another
of the excellent films that our en-
tertainment industry is finally
producing with true artistry.

freedom.” Folk singing for him
is a matter of vocal control and
psychological preparation, giving
him an unlimited number of op-
portunities for expression. Matt
feels that if there is a proper
communication between himself
and his audience, he has succeed-
ed in singing a “true” folk song.
“I become deeply involved in my
music, and when I sing I put my-
self out to become another per-
son, and take on another ‘nature,’
remaining the same, neverthe-
less.” Schmitz accompanies a folk
trio on the base, which gives him
the basic elements of chords, a
“grass roots” means with which
to sing. “There should be more
‘hootenannys,’ open to all, where
an exchange of ideas can take
place. This is, after all, an impor-
tant aspect of a liberal educa-
tion,” he concluded.
First place winners in the
group division of the Capers were
“The New Normandy Singers,” of
which Senior Larry Zigmont is a
member. With regards to the
most important element of a folk
song, Larry said the words were,
beyond a doubt. The banjo and
the guitar are Larry’s preferred

The presentation of student
research papers and election of
officers will highlight the annual
convention of the Texas Academy
of Science at Baylor university in
Waco, December 10-12.
Eight students will represent
St. Edward’s at the convention.
Bill Thurin, junior, will run for
president of the Academy.
Brother Robert Saltsman, CSC,
and senior Larry Maurer will
present research papers. “Char-
acterization of the Lipid from
Argemone Aurantiaca” is the sub-
ject of Maurer’s paper. Brother
Robert will present a study of a
yellow line in the spectrum of a
florescent light. The papers
judged superior will be published
in “TASCA,” the student publi-
cation of the Academy. Outstand-
ing papers will be published in the
professional bulletin of the Acade-
my.
Brother Thomas McCullough,
CSC, assistant professor of chem-
istry, will present a partial re-
port on his beetle research pro-
ject. This paper will deal with the
scent gland of the beetle.
Small colleges are most active
in the Academy, according to
Maurer. In past years, St. Ed-
ward’s has had the largest rep-
resentation at the convention.
accompaniment. He explained
that these two were closer to the
ancient heritage of folk music,
tracing back to the time of the
Old Testament. Largely due to
the efforts of the Kingston Trio,
modern folk music has reached
its peak, he explained. “Perhaps
it will start declining in 5-10
years.” Larry thinks deeply about
the words of a song, and inter-
prets them to suit the mood in
which it should be sung.
Other students who expressed
themselves on folk music were:
Beto Kuhn . . . “Folk music is
the internal expression of the
feeling of a people in musical
form. Since calypso music is my
favorite type of folk music, I am
concerned with rhythm more than
with words. I often become deep-
ly involved in the song I am sing-
ing;” John Marin . . . “The most
important element in folk music
is the way the tone is projected,
so as to convey completely the
theme of the song. The best folk
group in America is the Seren-
dipity Singers;” Dan Monigle,
sophomore ... “I play because I
like it. It is not true that the
Kingston Trio contributed the
most to folk music in our coun-
try. If it hadn’t been for Pete
Seeger, folk music wouldn’t be
what it is today.”
In conclusion, it is good to note
that interest in folk music on our
campus is growing. All of the en-
thusiasts mentioned the need for
more “expression,” more “hoote-
nannys.” In reflecting back on
the ideas of most of the students,
it became obvious that folk music
has become almost an “existen-

Stock heroic characters are
unreal; truth is relative; life is
absurd. These are the conclusions
of the controversial MGM release,
The Outrage.
Set in the Old West on the plat-
form of a deserted, ramshackle
railroad station, the plot of the
film is given in flashbacks as a
cowardly miner and a disillusion-
ed preacher tell the story of the
trial of Juan Carrasco to a nihilis-
tic con-man.
At the trial, Carrasco (Paul
Newman) confessed with the of-
fensive braggadocio of a stock
“hard guy” that he had stopped
an innocent married couple, tied
the Southern gentleman to a
tree, raped the man’s wife before
his eyes, and then killed him in a
“duel of honor.” When the violat-
ed lady testified, her story was
quite different. She claimed that
she had fought valiantly but
unsuccessfully against her assail-
ant. Despite her fidelity, her hus-
band was disgusted by her fouled
body; she became so enraged by
his disdain that she killed him out
of desperation, and then seeing
what she had done, she attempted
to commit suicide.
The third witness at the trial
was an old Indian who had
chanced upon the victim before he
died and who related his version
of the incident. The Southerner
(Laurence Harvey) said that he
plunged the dagger into his own
heart out of humiliation. His wife
had encouraged Carrasco and had
begged him to take her with him
because her husband was an in-
adequate lover.
important in a folk song, the
words themselves or the way
these words are expressed (if a
distinction can be made at all) ?”
The answers to this and other in-
quiries follow, along with com-
ments on the future of folk music
in America, America’s most im-
portant folk group, etc.
Pat Moore believes that there
are, basically, two types of folk
music: the ethnic, and the com-
mercial. Playing professionally
for “hootenannys” last summer,
Pat has found that this way of
expression is a fast-growing one,
the smoothness of the music be-
ing part of the reason for its pop-
ularity. He also states that the
rise of so many groups of folk
entertainers will cause the even-
tual “commercialization” of all
folk music. Bobby Dylan is
Moore’s favorite folk song writer,
and Peter, Paul, and Mary are
his favorite group singers.
Another freshman who takes
his liking for folk music seriously
is Bill Bush. He defines a folk
song as one native to one’s coun-
try, a song that expresses the
heritage of that country. Explain-
ing the development of folk music
in America, Bill mentioned that
such artists as Jimmy Rogers
and the Carter Family played an
important part in preserving
America’s folk song tradition. Bill
tries not to get too “involved” in
a song, and he does not consider
himself an “ethnic” folk singer.
He added that the “mood” is the
most important element of a song,
and that this mood, when effec-
tively conveyed by an artist, ac-
counts for “true” folk music.
Bush’s favorite female vocalist
is Judy Hensky.
A student who has done quite a
bit of investigation on folk music
is Matt Schmitz, a freshman. In
defining this art, he said simply,
“Folk music is the music of the
people." It differs from other
types of music in that its form is
distinctive, being expressed in a
different “musical language.”
Folk music gives him a “sense of
