As 7 p.m. ap- proached, July 27, journalism students scurried across the Ball State University campus, hurrying to their first lecture by Col. Charles Savedge, yearbook direc- tor. Seven of the students were members of the Pioneer staff, attending a one- week journalism workshop in Muncie, IN. Over a period of four weeks, 23 members of the Pioneer and Call staffs traveled to Ball State to learn more about the production of yearbooks and newspapers. Ball State was a great help to me, especially in learning to do research and interviewsf, said Betsy Perabo, Call news reporter. I also got to know some lt was relaxing for Angee Bamman and me to watch a routine at the Wash. U. Pom Pon camp. - Lisa Drier of the other staff members better. Several members of the Pom Pon squad also attended a four-day summer Pom Pon camp at Washington Universi- ty, June 23-26. Both old and new squad members worked together to learn new steps and routines, including disco and military. We practiced outside in the hot sun for six to seven hours per day, said Julie Schneider, junior. It was a lot 'of work but really helpful to me. There were also clinics and camps during the summer months for those who were more sports-minded. John Loudenslager, junior, attended a basket- ball camp at the Missouri Military Acade- my in Mexico, Aug. 10-15, to improve his skills. Workshops and camps ranging from five days to two weeks were also avail- able for church youth groups, who trav- eled to other states to work in poverty areas. Music students also attended workshops. Amy Tremain, junior, attended a two- week music camp at the University of Illinois, June 15-27. lt was the best time I,ve ever had at camp, said Tremain. We played mu- sic all the time, the atmosphere was great, and I made lots of fantastic friends. ff! im' 5

The walk, which began on June 13 and ended on Aug. 15, raised money for Muscular Dystrophy. The trek ended at Lou Fusz Toyota. We were homesick before we even left Kirkwood, exclaimed Cheri. The people were great along the way, though. The journey took the Hart family to many towns. Hannibal, Kansas City and St. Joseph were all very interest- ing, said Cheri. The Walkin' Harts received keys to several of the cities. We were exhausted after 57 days of walking to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy. lt was worth it when we raised over 36,000 and had our pictures taken in front of the state capital. - Hart Family The family had planned to walk to the nationally-televised Muscular Dystrophy Telethon in New York. Since Jerry Lew- is felt that the walk would have been too dangerous for the children, they walked the same distance around Missouri. Averaging 20-30 miles a day, the I-lart family completed its walk in 64 days. McDonald's restaurants provided meals for the journey. Even though we ate at about 30 different McDonald's along the way, we still could not get enough of their food! laughed Dawn Hart, fourth-grader at Robinson Elemen- tary School. While walking through the Ozarks, the family encountered temperatures of 130 degrees. lf we would have quit, we would never have been able to do any- thing again, said Cheri. The hardest part was getting up in the morning. About the only thing we saw every day was asphalt. This was not the first effort of the Hart family for M.D. The Harts were active in fund-raising programs for four years. Their efforts have brought in roughly S20,000, including 36,000 this trip. I was so tired, l didn't have dreams anymore. All I wanted to do was to get back to school and rest, sighed Cheri as she tugged off a worn hiking boot, it gr' l I i A, V-iv , LK U 5 1' J .l flti, wr ' T . 4 .tc . l v be
