Jello Slide + Bands = Fall Fest Fun On a balmy September Saturday, the annual Fall Fest offered a fun-filled day to all who attended. Throughout the afternoon, three bands — Scott McArtor ' s (Uncle Remus and the Tar Babies), Todd Brown ' s, and Dan Shumake ' s — filled the air with all kinds of tunes. The Student Council ' s booths, which included a football throw, a golf-putting contest, kamikaze (one-on-one with foam bats), jail, the always-favorite car bash, and a bean-bag toss, were all very popular. For the first time, Fall Fest T-shirts were sold, which helped earn the $ 1 300 the Fest brought in. The main attraction was the jello-slide contest between the Los Coraquistos (Dave Gurley and Kent McKelvey) and Hal Bailey and David Evans. Even after much sliding in the jello and throwing it on the spectators, the contest still ended up in a draw. Another main attraction was the volleyball tournament, which was won by a team of juniors led by Jon Van Hoozer; other participating teams included two senior teams, a Student Council team, and a sophomore team. Finally the Council raffled off many prizes — $ 100 cash, several gift certificates, clothes, and the Win-A- Date contest with Diego Winegardner. All in all, the music, booths, and festiv ties made for a fun Fall Fest to remember. Trying to spike the ball, Jon Van Hoozer reaches for the sky, as Thomas Hussey watches Will Jones of the Student Council team slam into the net. In this first annual volleyball tournament, Van Hoozer ' s team (himself, Hussey, Scott McArtor, David Wilmott, Kevin Ogilby, and Gary Wunderlich) dominated the field, allowing no team more than 5 points. Claiming victory over the Los Cornquistos, Dave Evans and Hal Bailey celebrate defeat of their arch-rivals; Richard Hussey, a Cornquistos supporter, loudly boos them. Cheering on one of the Fest bands, Wendy Smith and the rest of the crowd enjoy the music in the late afternoon sun. FALL FEST 111

Looking disgusted in their defeat in the jello-slide contest, the Los Cornquistos (Dave Gurley and Kent McKelvey) try to contest the decision, while supporter Richard Hussey questions the decision also. One of the three bands of the Fest, Uncle Remus and the Tar Babies (Scott McArtor, Marc Gurley, Jason Hughes, Jeff Horn, and Tommy Garner) entertain the crowd with their motley collection of tunes. 24 STUDENT LIFE

• y, • ■ —IT • t Dressing the Part It all started back in August. Rhett Necke and Billy Bob Treflan received notice that they had been accepted to MUS. No more cut-off jeans and Bon Jovi shirts for schoolwear, though. They had one week to find proper attire. If they were to be MUS students, they would have to dress the part. Their quest began at the Mecca of Mid-South shoppers, the Mall of Memphis. This is the story of that odyssey. Boy howdy, Billy Bob, said Rhett, That mall place shore is big! It is big, Rhett; about as big as your girlfriend, Thelma Liz. Once inside, they marveled at the lavish decor, the ice rink, and the huge number of sailors and marines. The first store they tried was U.S. Male. A sensual saleslady about their age had caught their eye. Hey, Billy Bob, let ' s do some snakin ' , said Rhett, who had already acquired some MUSspeak. Sensual saleslady LeeAnn proffered information: We don ' t get many MUS boys in here. They ' re all so cute, too. Let me show you what we can do for you. (Pictures 2 and 3 show just what LeeAnn did for Billy Bob and Rhett.) We ' ll sure be back now, you hear? But we ' ve got to look around a little more first, said Billy Bob.
