Speakers, performers highlight summer The 6-11 center, from New Castle, Ind., was president of iU ' s Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) end helped lead ID to victory in the 1976 NCAA champi- onship. And then came Star Wars. At Bloomington ' s Towne Cinema on June 24 at 4:30 p.m., tickets went on sale for the space fantasy that had taken the nation ' s box offices by storm. The new movie by George Lucas, creator of American Graffiti, broke all existing box-office records for atten- dance. The film centered around Leia, a prin- cess, who, with the aid of hero Luke Skywolker, tried to save her galaxy from destruction by the evil galactic govern- ment. A banal plot, unknown actors, and special effects that elicited ooh ' s and ah ' s from young and old, oil combined to form a phenomenally successful crowd-pleaser. As summer drew to a close, students made various plans for the two-week interlude that preceded the fall semester. Some worked to earn that extra few bucks necessary to get through fall se- mester. Others took off for the beach, the bars or the mountains. Still others simply went home to rest their burned-out brains. But for some students, the two weeks preceding fall semester were anything but restful. Many people worked at regis- tration, prepared the welcome-back issue of the ids or trained for RA-ships. For these students, much time was spent moving from summer housing to fall housing, arranging fall class schedules end generally driving themselves crazy. Fall semester loomed big, bold and ominous. Summer melted and was gone. (ABOVE) Republican Sen. Richard G. Lugar greets a Rotary Club member after discussing the organization at the Poplars in July. 19
