ch Boys rock a crowd of over 5,000 • Joni James • From the opening notes of California Girls, to the final chorus of Barbara Ann, the Beach Boys thrilled the Homecoming audience with their special brand of Ameri- can pop. The music that they played was the kind of music that wouldn ' t let the audience sit still. Their upbeat, catchy tunes about sun, sand, and surf have become classics which appeal to all genera- tions. After warming up with a few old favorites, the crowd that packed the Coliseum came to life. Students and alumni got out of their seats and onto their feet, and they sang and danced throughout the show. The Beach Boys have estab- lished themselves as music legends with numerous hit records. Their success gained them admission into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Jan- uary of 1988. When the Beach Boys ' twenty-fifth anniversary tour swung by Athens in October ' 87, it brought with it songs that have become part of the American way of life. Cali- fornia Dreamin ' , Fun, Fun, PALM TREES AND BEACH SCENES — The Beach Boys make them- selves at home during Chevy ' s Heartbeat ot America tour by sup- plying their own palm trees, beach towels, and great music. Fun and Surfin ' USA were enhanced by special props, screens, and lighting onstage. An appropriate addition to the show, a beach ball, was provided by the audience. After recent hits such as Wipeout and the ever-pop- ular car songs, like Little Duce Coupe the Beach Boys finished with sing-along fa- vorites Help Me, Rhonda and Good Vibrations. Cindy Hearn, a freshman journalism major, is a long- time Beach Boys fan. I have always loved the Beach Boys ' music. It was great to have the chance to see them performing live, she said. According to the Universi- ty Union, over 5000 students and alumni attended the Fri- day night concert. A number of people travelled from out of town and out of state just for the concert. The Beach Boys ' feel-good music proved to be the perfect complement to the week of celebration. Betsy Carmichael, a fresh- man majoring in fashion merchandising, attended the concert with a group of friends. The Beach Boys concert was a great addition to the homecoming festivities, she said. It ' s terrific that such a successful band was able to come to Athens. 14 BEACH BOYS

op Dawg Excitement surrounds presidential inauguration • Susan Labbig • and Patti McCabe On a sunny October 18, l ' S Go ernor Joe Frank H.u 1 1--, along with representa- ti eb Irom about 125 universi- ties, including Harvard, Geor- gia Tech, Johns Hopkins University, Vanderbilt, and the University of Florida, joined us in celebrating the inauguration of our twentieth president, Charles Boynton Knapp. Knapp ' s inaugural ceremo- ny was elaborate with a long procession of pr ofessors who wore traditional robes and mortarboards of academia. Two students within each school or college and repre- sentatives from other institu- tions joined in the procession that went from the Law School to the inaugural site in the Candler Hall parking lot. To make sure everything !dn smoothly, a 49-member i-ommission, including four students, was called together to organize the inaugural cer- emony and the week of activi- ties that led up to the inaugu- ration, said Fran Lane, inauguration coordinator and University coordinator of aca- demic advisement and stu- dent services. HAPPY DAYS — Alter the ceremo ny, professors from ttie University and trom across the notion gather to congratulate our 20th presi- dent. Dr. Knapp. Inaugural Week activities began on October 12 when Dr. Knapp addressed a large crowd of students and faculty in the small, overcapacitated Chapel, upholding the tradi- tion that a new president de- livers a speech at the begin- ning of his tenure. In his speech, Knapp em- phasized the need for in- creased funding to help the University become one of the leading research institutions in the nation. Knapp said he hopes to be the president who moves our school into the ranks of the Association of American Universities, a prestigious academic organi- zation. The University is well- qualified to be a member, Knapp said in a later inter- view with the Red and Black. It would put us in a group that has a lot of prestige in research, he said. It would be a benefit to the University and I ' d like to see the Univer- sity get it. In addition to Knapp ' s speech, there were other pre- inaugural events including an ice cream social at the Tate Plaza, a picnic at Legion Field, and a concert by the School of Music, which included John Couna ' s inaugural anthem written especially for Charles Knapp. Everyone had a great time, said Lee-Ann Bunnell, sophomore, majoring in In- ternational Studies. We all went down to Le- gion Field for dinner, and I got to meet Dr. Knapp and his wife while we were waiting in line, she said, They were both really nice.
