C hane Semkin slurps up a faceful of jello on his way to victory for the sophomore class. In all probability he will avoid jiggly jello for a long time. (R. Crowell) Getting the year started with great en- thusiasm. Social Com- mittee sponsored the Ollies Follies Celebra- tion which began the first Thursday night of the fall semester. TRUTH, a contemporary Christian music group, performed a beautiful concert in Chalfant on that evening. The more than 500 people in attendance were truly blessed as well as enter- tained by Kim Noblet and his exceptionally talented group. The con- cert ended with a brief message by Noblet about fears. The inspiration from this message led many to the altar to pray about their own fears. It was a perfect beginning to the weekend. Friday evening ' s event was also well attended with 300 or more at Kresge for the viewing of The Incredible Rocky Mountain Race. This film was a western com- edy about the adven- tures of Mark Twain and Mike Fink in their scavenger hunt across the country. Saturday morning brought the flag football and volleyball players out to the fields in full force ready to take on their opponents. This was the beginning of the class competition to determine who would reign as the 1984 Ollies Follies champions. Juniors against Sophomores, and Seniors vs. Freshmen in both the guys flag foot- ball and the girls volleyball saw the same preliminary round results with the Seniors and Juniors victorious. An atmosphere of smiles and laughter prevailed as everyone enjoyed Ollies Follies talent and skits. This set the stage for the championship matches between the two upper classes. The Seniors triumphed in both events and took a com- manding lead in the standings. Juniors were second. With consolation victories in both games the Sophomores were in third, with the Freshmen coming in fourth. After a picnic lunch and the second annual great balloon launch, the games continued. Events common in the past such as the shopping cart race, egg toss, pyramid build, tug-of-war, and a newly attempted relay with mattresses saw classes come together to bring out their best and gain some important points to move up in the stand- ings. The Seniors won both the guys and the girls tug-of-war contests, with the rest of the teams tying for second because of point totals. Seniors, although not showing well in the pyramid, were still in first place picking up firsts in the egg toss and the shopping cart relay, and a second in the mat- tress relay. The Juniors held on to their second place position with a vic- tory in the mattress relay and in the pyramid race. They were also second to the Seniors in the egg toss and the shopping cart relay. Sophomores kept their third place in the standings by a nar- row margin over the Freshmen. On that evening, more points were to be won and the winning class was to be determined with the skit and talent competition held in the ONC ' s Mickael Jackson and his group — Brad Stockton, Chris Peal and Paul Shaver. dining room. There was a full contingent of spec- tators on hand as Masters of Ceremonies Mary Reed, Bev Lee and Mark Brown introduced each of the entries for the classes. The emcees also provided their own form of entertainment be- tween acts. The skits were well prepared and performed by each of the participants, but the panel of judges deter- mined the Sophomores ' act, a comedy routine by a juggler, to be deserving of first place. Seniors, with their version of dating on campus, picked up the second place points while the recreation of the Olym- pics by the Juniors net- ted a third. The Fresh- men finished fourth. The Seniors displayed excellence in capturing the talent portion of the competition entry, a six- member band, edged the second place Sophomore class. The third place points went to the Juniors, and the Freshmen followed in fourth. Overall, the Seniors dominated in the point total, outscor- ing the Juniors by one hundred points. The Sophomores were well behind in third and the Freshmen ended their first experience with Ollies Follies in last place. The efforts of each class member were not in vain, for this was a great opportunity for meeting fellow class members and other students during the first weekend of the 1984 fall semester at Olivet.

TWIRP . . . The Perfect Dote? The traditional, or perhaps old fashioned idea, that the male should ask the female out is going down the tubes like a bad televi- sion program. There were several things that went through a girl ' s mind when she took the in- itiative and asked a guy out. She reviewed her fears repeatedly in her mind. Does he think I ' m too aggressive? How will I know what to say to him? and What if he says ' no ' ? Twirp week offered the girls opportunities to be equal to the guys. Some Olivet men agreed that women should demonstrate these new liberal op- portunities presented to them. Paul Riley says, I think it ' s great. It is always expected that the guy asks the girl out. It ' s nice to have the tables turned for a change. Dan Meador agrees, It doesn ' t make me uncomfortable when a girl asks me out. I think it should be an accepted practice. It takes the burden off the guy for a change! Janna Williams cer- tainly agrees with the idea that it should be accepted. I thought it was so much fun to twirp a guy. I did the twirping for my date and my sister ' s date, and of course we double-dated! Remember girls, when you were scared, Perseverance was the ability to stick to something you were not stuck on! (C. Stanley) Olivet girls just want to have fun. The couples wait for the next activity. 18 Aurora
