" Portland State is unique. The kids come here for classes, and then they go home, or go to work. At the other col– leges, like Lewis and Clark, the college can plan a program for eight o' clock, and the kids can go to it from the dorm after dinner. But at Portland State, you've got to find the audience before you can get a program going. " Started last year-the Friday Cab– aret. There was a big crowd with no place to go after the Friday night film. The film's out at nine. Most of the kids are under twenty-one so the bars are closed to them. What's there for them to do?" We figured that if we gave them somewhere interesting to come, they'd come. Most of these kids wouldn't go to a forma l poetry reading or concert, but this is informal and free so they can just sit down and listen." 89
