A revolution... to be different | Anything but naked. Well, anything but totally naked. Because, of course, most pro- fessors tend to frown upon nudity in the classroom. But jeans were all right this year. Oh yeah, jeans were more than fine. New. Old. Starched. Sagging. Patched (and patched and patched.) Pipe-stemmed. Ever- so-fashionably flared. And those with ele- phantiasis. Buttoned. Zippered. Safety- pinned. Along with jeans went just about any- thing. Smocks. Midriff tops. Halters. Velvet, suede, corduroy, cotton and denim jackets. Embroidered, flannel, Ball-U, army and work shirts. Baggies hit big. And bigger. Topped with a blazer. Dolman sweater. Just a sweater and shirt. The standard skirt rose. And fell. Split. Flared. Even gored occasionally. Almost dis- appeared completely after class. Evening and duding up finery consisted of good jeans, good corduroys and the good beloved Ball State Baggies. Bare-back dresses. Shawls and sorority suits. Ties were rare. Sweaters prevailed. The more different, the better. Even students’ ten toes received their fair share of well-dressed attention. Bent bodies stumbled across campus in clogs. Shuffled in work shoes. Wobbled in wedgies. Blistered in platforms. And studded in two tones with heels. The ever-popular loafers were ... ever popular. It didn’t all fit. Or match. Or survive the. deluge. But we weren’t naked. Maybe next year. BRR ar es wee Cpanentanancen tc come ee es ee 7 mer

Just how much emotion is felt depends upon the quality of the show. C. An overloaded fuse box blacked out Noll Hall tem- porarily during the festival, but didn’t come close to putting out the spirit involved in the program. Voices rang out strong during the mishap. D. Life, love, pro-war, anti-war, for the parents, against the parents, better government...lyrics non-violently and subtlely speak to those who care to listen. E. Folk performances differ, just like the songs that are played. The SCGB sponsored Mimi-Fest, featuring Limousine (formerly the Chosen Few) has less audience participation than the Folk Fest. However, the spirit remains the same...
