But, despite the chilly weath- er, there was no shortage of shoppers at the University Ar- tists and Craftsmen Guild Fall Art Festival last Saturday. The s early morning rush at the Farmers' M a r k e t migrated across the street to the grounds of the Community High School to take a look at wares other than pumpkins and celery stalks. The 73 exhibits offered a di- verse collection of arts and crafts - everything from ma- crame wall hangings to delicate wire sculptures hung in th,e makeshift booths occpuied by the artists themselves. Long glass cases held quan- tities of ;silver jewerly. Original, in d e s i g n and intricately wrought, the jewelry available was good stuff at any rate. IF YOU were in need of a pipe, you had an interesting choice of material - they were made from the horns of Rocky Mountain elk or deel (environ- mentalists would disapprove). For a slightly higher cost, you could have an inlaid wooden handle as well. Wooden objects were perhaps the most versatile and abundant at the fair. Hand crafted bowls sold for $45 to $5. Imported woodsfof varying grains and: colors were arranged in striped fashion to make striking cheese boards. Ever hear of Zebra wood? One things there was plenty of was pottery. Countless bowls, planters, vases, goblets, ash- trays and anything else you could think of lined myriad shelves in the booths.

He began work on it following a personal tragedy- the suicide-death of his wife Phyllis last March, Although he's beginning, once again, to make personal appearances, his only show all summer was the Eagles-Linda Ronstadt-Jackson Browne- Dan Fogelberg benefit for Jerry Brown.

Behind the stage was a 3-D panorma of Texas, handpainted by 16 artists in an aircraft hanger in Waco, Texas. It was lit by 96,000 watts of power, with 260 speak- ers providing the sound.
