Autumn Madness is a fitting title for an occasion when students get together for a party, before the grind of daily college life sets in. This year the madness occurred on a sunny, warm September 7th in front of Williams Fieldhouse, and as expected, it was well-re- ceived. The Student Activities Board, particularly the Special Features Committee, planned the festivities for the sev- enth consecutive year. This year though, they decided to change the music format from bluegrass to more of a rock-a-billy sound. Chairperson Jim Wargowski said this was because a rock-a-billy group from the previous year's concert elicited a great response from those in attendance. Either way, the crowd enjoyed the concert as long as the music was danceable and the beer was cold. The bands performing were both from Texas, so it was assured that they would put on a big show. Big Daddy Sun and the Outer Planets gave an out-of-this- world performance, priming up the audience for the headlining group, Rank and File. The headliners, a group who has recorded albums for Warner Brothers, didn't have to work very hard to keep the toes tapping. Their countryhock music provided everyone with a chargce to dance or just sit back on the grass and un- wm . Some people thought that the 19-year-old drinking age would result in a lower attendance, but approxie mately 3,000 people showed up to enjoy the music and drink the beer. Moving the festivities from the circle, near Brockert, Pickard, and Hugunin Halls, attracted off-campus students that might not have otherwise at- tended. The event was successful in bringing students together for a little bit of enjoyable madness before the madness of tests and term papers arrived. Brian Zeman 23
