jockey. Rose-Hulman students got into the act by staging lights that were used for a discothequeis effect. The Heritage Lounge changed its usual appearance for the night, being transformed into the Corner Country Store. Antiques and a western type backdrop decorated the room. Card playing and games such as checkers and backgammon were set up, with candy sticks, popcorn, apples, apple cider, red pop, and cheese and crackers all being served free of charge. The Silver Dollar Saloon occupied the Stateroom, and complete with dancing girls and a shootout, really got into the spirit of the Old West. The walls were decorated with large replicas of cards, and the tables were covered with red and white checked tablecloths. A bartender and his saloon girls kept the customers served, and were quick on the draw with a nice cold beer for each new arrival, a near beer, that is. The dancing girls were none other than ISUis own Sparkettes, and a staged shootout was presented by none other than the meanest, honer- iest Phi Delta Thetas the committee could round up. Piano playing was in the background with a song and guitar act by Doug Robertson and a banjo playing act by Steve Barr. The admission price of the dance was $1.50 per person, but once inside all other food except cokes were free. Coordinator for the disco was Amy Beasley. Other members of the committee were Jana Cable, Jana Braden, Virgil Pund, Ginny King, and Rob Wells. Those working on the disco said that planning began about six weeks before the disco was scheduled to be presented. They said they had hoped for a larger crowd, but they felt the program was successful in that it was the first time it had been presented. The Dodge City Disco is sure to become an annual event on campus. While enjoying their ttbeerst, Drew Kogan and Chuck Smith make small talk with local saloon girls Kim Prarat and Sherri Hinton. iG. Chandleri Some Western dudes, who were ukickini up their heels at the Disco, seem familiar and not quite as uornery as their reputation has them dubbed.
