The Sigma Chi fraternity won the float competition with its rendition of an emaciated wolf. We named him Whimpy the Wolf.“ said float designer Jon Newcomb. He really looked sick, and I was a little concerned as to whether he'd make it all the way through the parade. But if Whimpy looked ill. it was only a foreshadowing of things to come for the Wolf Pack. Following the parade, 15,600 fans gathered in the Dome to watch the battle between - THE КУ Г ute -4 flame the No. 1 and No. 2 two teams in the Big Sky Conference. And a battle royale it was. Despite leading at halftime, the Vandals trailed the Wolf Pack 21-18 in the fourth quarter. The lackluster Vandal performance was in some ways mirrored by the student crowd, as numerous ‘аус’ at- tempts died on the rocks. But in the second half, the Vandals and their crowd came alive and, led by quarterbacks Scott Linehan and Rick Sloan. downed the 'Pack 25-21. The evening ended with homecoming dances in the Elks Lodge and SUB Ballroom. The Vandal conspiracy had worked, the Wolf Pack had been defeated, and the week that had started with a blazing Silver and Gold run, end- ed with nothing but embers and memories. ШҮ?

18 ain fell off and on P afternoon as high winds ripped through the banners and posters for Musical Chairs for Africa. Although Mother Nature, among other things, hurt this effort toward famine relicf. the hope Bob Geldof orginated three months earlier with Live Aid shone brightly in those who were present. Originally, the plan was to get 5,000 UI students to play in the world's largest game of musical chairs. An un- forseen insurance con- flict, however, forced the number allowed to par- ticipate down to 100. It was then decided to pick one person from each group that had someone registered. owever, even this didn’t quite work out. Event organizer Terri Lynch said, ' We ex- pected to get 100 par- ticipants, one from each living group or organiza- tion registered, and a crowd of spectators on Sunday. but that didn't materialize. U.S. for Africa. Behind the determination and hard work that went into the event, a spirit of friendship prevailed. Eileen Sterling. Melanie Matthews and Melanie Mason of the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority were among the living group particpants. AGD recieved the most living group participa- Поп points. The problems stemm- ed mostly from miscom- munication between organizers and раг- ticipants and between organizers and their underwriters. Many students misunderstood the starting time for the event, close to 200 show- ing up at Wick's field at noon when the event was not to start until 2 III. Unfortunately, at that time, wet weather kept the majority of par- ticipants at home and the chairs weren't set up until 3 p.m. While we had a good turnout for the original registration, I think the weather and disappointment over the change in plans dampen- ed the enthusiasm of the participants somewhat, Lynch said. Students present dur- ing the program offered differing views on causes of and possible solutions to the events travails and their role in the famine relief effort. Stephanie Sheard, pre- sent to represent the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, said. Every lit- tle bit counts, and for famine relief to work, so- meone has to care and we are showing that we care by being here.“ Terryl Sharples, also of AGD, said, ''There is definitely some sort of enthusiasm here that could rub off on others, who knows, maybe something bigger will come from this.“ Wade Howland, a spectator, also thought that the event could pro- vide ideas for other pro- jects for Africa. This will make people think a little bit, and if some peo- ple donate because of it then the poor turnout won't be as bad.“ Lynch echoed this feel- ing. “I hope that we do some good here. It's too bad about the poor tur- nout. This event could hopefully be a catalyst for others in this area to follow our example.“ Thus, while problems plagued the event. human санои made Musical Chairs for Africa a success. ©
