I Didn ' t Know About This. . .Did YOU? February 6, 1 973 and April 6, 1 973 — two dates on which campus activities were held for all those interested. Do these dates ring a bell to any of you? For those who attended the Nei- man-Marcus Style Show, the first date might sound familiar . . . those 1 000 or more students that attended the Bridal Fair might remember the second date. In any case, for those of us who do not know, both activities were sponsored by the U.S.L. Union Hospitality Committee, members of which sen e two major functions on campus. First of all, they are ambassadors for the university, representing U.S.L. as hostesses for various on and off campus activities such as the Acadiana Trade Fair and the Miss University Pag- eant. Secondly, some members of the committee gain modeling experience by participating in fashion shows such as the activi- ties mentioned earlier ... the Neiman-Marcus Style Show and the Bridal Fair. Now, a little bit about the Bridal Fair and its intermittent style shows . . . these activities were held in the Union Ballroom and were open to anyone who wanted to stroll through. Booth spaces were sold to local and national companies and were set up around the stage in the ballroom. Although the committee was promised that ten national companies would participate, only four came, one of them being Corningware. The Fair went on throughout the day, and the style shows were presented at 2:00 and 7:00. The student attendance certainly rewarded those responsible for the activity . . . they surely worked hard to present it. Top Right: Betsy Campbell, a participant in the Bridal Fair Style Show.

Osibisa — Criss Cross Rhythms That Explode V 9m » v ■■■ Ins: ft Vivacious . . . unique . . . awesome . . . mov- ing . . .a few words which only partially describe this group known as Osibisa. Anyone at all familiar with the group but had never seen them perform would, without a doubt, be eager to see just how they do it. In one song in particular, The Dawn, the assemblage of instruments and noises depict perfectly the dawn in a rain forest. All of the members in the group are from coun- tries in and around Africa and wear native cos- tumes to perform. They are so full of life and movement that it would be almost impossible to be passive as a member of the audience. The U.S.L. audience was no exception ... we were all exhausted after the concert ended.
