employers without feeling
any pressure This is not

most." Seawell said
Many of the companies
are conducting interviews
at Career Planning and

“There will still be some
opportunities Tuesday for
seniors and grad students to
sign up for Wednesday
interviews although this is
not the only time many of
the companies conduct in
terviews." Seawell said.
"Agribusiness Career Day
is a major event, hut it is
not the only time to apply
^for jobs." she added
"There is no success rate
per se to Agribusiness
Career Day or to Career
Planning and Placement;
talents, education and being
able to sell yourself to an
employer are what will get
you a job." Seawell said.
The Young Ag Alumni
Ag Hill Council and Career
Planning and Placement
are joint sponsors of the
event.
Cows join in dairy night
By I t.nitItll HICKSON
Milk chugging and calf
dressing were among the
events held Friday night in an
etfort to help people realize
that it is a lot of fun to work
with dairy cows
Dairy Fun Night was spon
sored by the Dairy Science
Club. The event was open to
clubs, fraternities, sororities
and the dorms, although clubs
and sororities were the main
participants.
One memlier of the Dairy
Science Club said. 'The
purpose was to have fun. Some
of the participants had never
been around cows It made
them see that milk does come
from a cow.'
it did make money for the
club," he added
The milk maid contest
involved in a two person team
effort to milk various cows.
The mild maids were attired in
costumes ranging from maxi
and mini milking dresses to
jeans
Important in the event was
shewing affection for the cow
Williams shines
By BOBBY BY HI)
When you go to too many
concerts, or plow through too
many albums, you tend to
become jaded .by it all
However, once in a glorious
while, someone comes along
virtually unknown, with a
performance that restores your
faith in the whole music
business Such was the case
last Thursday with Mike
\yilliams' Memorial concert.
Mike Williams is an aco ic
guitarist, singer, and song
Concert
review
writer from North Carolina by
way of Texas He is a virtuoso
on the 12-string, with a rich,
full, and wide ranging voice
On top of that, he is blessed
with a keen sense of humor, a
fiercely loving spirit, and.
most importantly, a brilliant
sense of what life is about, and
how to live the hell out of it
From the start, Williams'
presence was instantly en
dearing. as he opened with the
4-4 Waltz.” a lovely instru
mental that "started out as a
finger exercise* and turned into
a song.”
The second selection, how
ever. was the clincher On
"The Drifter and the liodeo
Queen.” the star for the first
time displayed that qumtes
sentially country voice, and
those you-only-go-uround-once-
in life lyrics From then on. the
audience was lucked away in
Williams guitar case
The show encompassed 21
selections in two and a quarter
hours, with one encore. The
songs were, without exception,
engrossing and powerful, and
often hilarious “New Hose of
San Antoni*'' bittersweetly
describes a free spirited girl in
a Texas topless bar
The highlight of the first half
was "Dumas. Texas.” recall
ing a round of trouble brought
on by the mispronunciation of
a Southwestern town. How was
he supposed to know it’s
IKK) muss, anyway?
Above and lieynnd the songs,
though. Mike Williams has an
infectious spirit that cannot be
overestimated He is reminis
cent of Jimmy Buffet, not so
much musically as in a
country fried romanticist's out
look on life, drawing wisdom
and hope from the mundane
human experience.
There is. then, a joyous,
happy ecstasy that accom
panies an evening spent with
Mike Williams. At one point
Thursday he mused aloud the
wonder of “working doing
something that’s so much fun.”
Jimmy Buffet calls it “getting
paid foi doing something I d he
doing anyway.” It's all the
same thing
One suspects that that,
finally, is what the show is all
afxiut For those cf us who saw
Mike Williams in Memorial
last week, it was a delightful
time, one not soon to he
forgotten
