The Homecoming game was a crucial victory, scoring 31-O over Lincoln. Dirk Shannabarger 1121, varsity end, said, It was a great win for us be- cause we knew that we would be in the State playoffs. And as far as this year goes, I believe Lincoln was our biggest rival. Just a few hours earlier, spirit was mounting at the pep assembly. Ryan Walker 1111 said, The Home- coming assembly was full of rowdy spir- it. It couldn't have been better for the lronmen! During the pep assembly the varsity football players were honored with flow- ers. Then the Homecoming Queen was crowned, and the lucky court member nied it on that rainy afternoon. These in- cluded the Junior Class, the Sophomore Class, Orchestra, Choir, the foreign lan- guage clubs, Future Farmers and Future Homemakers. And to top off the week was the Remember When . . . 'E Homecoming Dance. The band Vicious Circle played. Mindy Tucker 1121 said, The band made the dance exciting. I liked it! Jenny Lynn 1111, asked about her reaction to Homecoming in general, said, lt was funny seeing everyone act- ing so different during Homecoming week. I think it's a great thing to have. Elizabeth Wilbert 1111 added, The whole Homecoming week was excellent! Everybody had the spirit. So, another great Homecoming has passed by us. But judging by the stu- dent reactions and spirit, Homecoming will remain a thrill always! was Brenda.Toland 1121.

Students fconftf gefenoughf pproximately 2,717 people waited in darkness. A record- ing of Gene KeIIy's 'ISingin' In The Rainw began to play to the anxious crowd. They were thrilled when popular British singer Paul Young, not Gene Kelly, finally appeared on stage to finish the song. Peformers often look for ways like this to make their concerts unique. But all concerts have something in com- mon-the audience is there for excite- ment. No other age group is known for its love of excitement more than high school students. According to Jane Campagna, advi- sor to the ISU entertainment committee, approximately 25 percent of ticket buyers to ISU concerts are high school students. I think even ISU students would agree that a concert is more fun when it is a sold-out performance, she said. lt doesn't matter who attends as long as the building is full. Carrie Taylor 1105 agrees. Taylor en- joys going to concerts, especially with - lots of people. Going in a large group makes it more fun, she explained. What makes a concert enjoyabIe ? The excitement, said Angela Bau- man l125. You can feel it before the concert begins and hear it in all the noise. Bauman especially liked the audi- ence participation she experienced at an Amy Grant concert at the U of I Assem- bly Hall in Champaign. During one song everyone was standing up and swaying back and forth together, she recalled. tilt was great. Even though concerts can be excit- ing and fun, they do have their draw- backs. Bauman admits that she really doesn't like any one group enough to spend two hours or more listening to them. I certainly don't want to spend money for something I don't enjoy that much, she said. A Doug Huntman l105 avoids hard -oSpeaking to a crowd of thousands, Bobbi Pol- zine, of Groundswell, Minnesota, voices her con- cern about the farmers' plight with John Cougar Mellencamp at the Farm-Aid concert. 22-Concerts rock concerts, such as Motley Crue, be- cause of the image the performers pre- sent. He explains, I also donlt like some of the people who go to those con- certs. In Huntman's opinion, the price of concert tickets is the biggest problem. They're too expensive, he said. The average cost of a concert ticket at ISU ranges from S8-315, depending on the performer. Campagna admits, It's hard to get well-known performers to play lin5 a town this size. We just don't have as large a facility as compared to, say, Chi- cago. Paul Young's opinion differs. He and his band enjoy playing in smaller towns. The band has a better feeling knowing they're playing in front of kids that don't see shows very often, he said. They can't get enough. - Denise Webb l125 SSS I
