Good or bad, heroes or villains, they made their mark in the heat of the sum- mel. 0 luly 23 - Penthouse magazine published nude pho- tographs of former Miss America Vanessa Williams and another woman that Williams posed for in 1982. Pressure from the resulting scandal caused Williams to forfeit her crown to Suzette Charles, runner-up. 0 Aug. 5 - Actor Richard Burton died of a cerebral hemorrhage at 58. Burton's life was a continuing source of controversy. Critics first acclaimed the young Welshman as potentially the greatest actor in the world, then later rebuked him for his sellout to Holly- wood's glitter, fame and fortune. 0 Aug. 8 - Edwin Moses, hurdler, won his eighty- eighth consecutive track event, an Olympic gold medal in the 400-meter hurdles. The time did not break the world record, :47.02, which Moses set in 1983. A Sports authorities credited Moses with more than just being the world's greatest track star. He was the first athlete to successfully make amateur competition a lucrative profession, via product endorsements. s s I think it's great that Mo- ses made so much money as a n a m a t e u r through natu- ral talent and without using I think it's great Moses made so much money as an amateur athlete with- out using drugs, said Scott Ridenour, sopho- more. 0 Aug. 16 - A federal jury acquitted john DeLorean on charges connected with a scheme to sell 55 pounds of cocaine. -- drugs.' 5 - Scott Ridenour, sophomore In an effort to become more famil- iar with the faces, Principal Franklin McCallie has Holly Mandel, junior, videotape students, Aug. 23. I head start English, math, gym classes fill graduation requirements My students worked hard and became involved. I enjoyed teaching the class, said Paul Meyer, math teach- er. For six weeks, lune 18-july 27, 22 students spent four hours each day learning al- gebra in Meyer's class. English and gym were also a part of summer school. Several students took the classes to fill their summer days. Summer school was something to do in the mornings, said Amy Arm- bruster, sophomore. It also filled a graduation require- ment, so I could take more .classes during the year that I liked. Classes started at 7:50 ta.m.J, and I just didn't want to get up that early in the summer, said john Bickel, sophomore. I'm glad I didn't quit though. Now I have another graduation re- quirement out of the way. Registration also required students to be at school at 7:50 a.m. Seniors and sopho- mores registered at 7:50 a.m., Aug. 22-23, while ju- niors and freshmen regis- tered in the afternoon and evening. Along with the traditional filling out of cards, posing for ID pictures, and receiv- ing schedules, students were able to purchase the school publications and join various organizations. Boys' Pep Club KBPCI tried a new technique to increase its membership. Dan Vespa, secretary, hooked up a mi- crophone and amplifier, which allowed them to broadcast their sales pitches. Girls' Pep Club IIGPCI tried a new method to increase membership, also. They adopted a deferred payment policy for membership. Lots of people wanted to join, but didn't have the money lS1.50l, said Polly Henderson, treasurer. lt saved us having the trouble of having to sell member- ships at lunch.

Rockin' the night, dancin' in the seats For two nights they were the most popular individuals in St. Louis. People stood in line for hours to buy tickets, fought traffic jams for parking, and battled crowds for seats. When the Arena's lights dimmed, june 26, the audi- ence forgot the aggrava- tions. Only one thing was on their minds - Van Halen- It was the best concert! said loe Gnojewski, fresh- man. The lights were great, I knew the songs, and David Lee Roth Ilead singerl put on an excellent performance. Van Halen's popularity caused both concerts, june 26-27, to sell out in advance. They were awesome, said Charlie Cook, senior. I would have gone both nights if I could have. Billy Idol also captured his audience, although his con- cert at Kiel Auditorium, Aug. 26, did not sell out. Billy Idol was excellent, as ' usual, said Becky Yeager, senior. The audience was In order to relieve frustration, Kaki Kelly and Lisa Tintera, juniors, shred magazines in their room at the Ball State journalism work- shop, Aug. 2. 28 Summer Magazine going absolutely wildl A concert series that broke out of the usual Arena fKiel Auditorium mold was the Starfest at the Muny. It featured Crosby, Stills, and Nash and the Go-Go's. I love Crosby, Stills, and Nash, said Bob Berthold, senior. It was a nice night IAug. 231. The stars were out and the music was good. The free seats at the Muny gave my friends and I a chance to see the Go-Go's, said Michelle Dyson, senior. Otherwise we wouldn't have gone, since we didn't have money lS15l for tick- ets. Whether at the Arena or Muny, in sold-out-in-ad- vance or free seats, a concert was 'the' place to be for many. With the use of an instant camera during sophomore registration, Aug. 23, Maria McMiller, senior, produces mug shots of students to place on their school identification cards. Diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but 'for many girls, rhinestones were the perfect substitutes. Dangling earrings, chok- ers, and bracelets, all stud- ded with rhinestones high- lighted many summer out- fits. Whenever I felt a little bit crazy I'd put my rhinestone earring on, said jennifer Van Asdale, senior. It spiced up any of the outfits I wore. Many girls discovered rhinestone treasures in their mother's old jewelry boxes. Others found them in thrift shops and antique clothes stores, at garage sales, and at 1: sparkling discovery Girls find rhinestones, men's clothing fashionable styles at inexpensive prices the Greentree Festival. ' I bought a lot of rhines- tone stuff at AIice's Ia vintage boutiquel in the West End, said Holly Scott, junior. I found my best bargain, though, at Greentree. It was a bracelet loaded with stones for only S1! Some people looked at my earrings and chuckled, added Scott, but I liked them and so did most peo- pIe.n Another summer trend was men's boxers, briefs, and undershirts for women. -Many girls wore men's un- derwear, which designers like Calvin Klein made for women. They found them to I be cool items of summer clothing. I bought a white men's! undershirt at the Limited. It was great for lounging aroundthe house in, said Susan Sipes, junior. I could wear it under a t-shirt in the daytime and under a Forenza sweater at night. Not all girls wore the women's version of the men's style, however. ln- stead, they took it straight from their father or broth- er's closet. I wore my brother's lock- CY briefs, said Stephanie Schlarmann, junior. It was underwear that was fun to wear! -,ng-1- - Th1 achie villair mer. 0 lull togra anotl Pre to fo 0 Ar hemi of c Wels worli woot 0 Al eight in th worli Sp- just l firstz lucra - 5 gl s n a t r W d.

Mixed expectations arrive On Labor Day, I was hop- ing they would make sum- mer three months longer and school three months shorter, said Tucker Kleitsch, junior. On the last day of summer, whether visiting with rela- tives or just bumming around the house, students could not help but think about the end of summer va- cation. My aunt and uncle from Peoria, Ill., came to visit us on Labor Day, and brought a foreign exchange student from Sweden. Even while he was telling us about Sweden, I couldn't help thinking about the end of summer, said Grant Krause, sopho- more. Other students exper- ienced the same feelings on with school the last day of summer. I went out to buy school supplies on Labor Day. I didn't even want to think of it as the last day of summer, but I couldn't help it, said jeff Fieberg, sophomore. On the other hand, some students were ready for the end of summer break. They were anxious for school to start again. The last day of summer reflected what I did most of vacation. I just bummed around the house. I needed something to do, said jeff Neiman, senior. Strands of toilet paper that seniors left dangling from campus trees cause Chester Blair, custodian, to clean up, Sept. 4, the day after the prank.

Each youth program was differ- ent, but together they of- fered a variety of activities. Central Presbyterian Church was one group which had many summer ac- tivities, including a drama group, the Central Players. Rhett Payne, youth director, worked with the teens in the winter and spring to prepare for a tour of the Southeast, june 9-19. It was more than just a good time, said Stan Hul- shof, senior. It gave us a chance to meet people from all over the country and get to know church friends bet- ter. Other churches, such as the Kirkwood United Church of Christ, planned various summer activities, one of which was an over- night swim party at Lindgate Pool, Aug. 17. We swam from 9 tp.m.J until midnight. Then every- one went back to the church to watch movies until 7 fa.m.I. It was a blast! said K.K. Zoellner, sophomore. A third church with a busy summer schedule was Kirk- wood Baptist Church, ac- cording to Gretchen Heuer, sophomore. Along with other activi- ties, the Kirkwood Baptist youth did mission work in downtown apartments, july 16-20. We taught a Bible school for kids, said Heuer.
