Faces: Profiles, mugs and masks express feelings J.K.K. A Chi Omega clown takes time out to wipe her nose during her clowning antics at the annual Circus Feed. Rain prevailed most of the evening but hundreds still came to enjoy thefood, games and dancing. K.S.M. Theta Xi judges had it rough as they sponsored their llth annual Tug-O-War contest Sunday, Oct. 5. The mudpit was made on North Campus by the football stadium and drew over 120 residence hall and greek teams. Winners and survivors of the pulling game were the Bud Bruins, overall champs. Spitting was the name ofone ofthe games at the Alpha Chi Omega-Delta Tau Delta Watermelon Bust, held Sept. 20 on the Delt lawn. Over 500 students participated in the games which included melon tosses. melon rolls, melon eating contests, along with the ever- popular seed spitting event. Faces of the day were ones of sticky lips, and stomachs were usually just kind of 'blah.' B.L.T. Bill Cosbys characters spurted from the entertainers mouth as he opened the Homecoming Show Saturday Oct. 4 before two capacity crowds. Casbys tales of his youth, his early friends and classmates kept the two Emen lr audiences laughing all evening. After the comedian exited, music was provided by Jose Feliciano and his lightninggfast guitar numbers. J.K.K. Miss BSU 1975 Heidi Reiter, perfonning at the mid-Sept. Studebaker Days Coffee House, sings afew songs to the large audience. Although Stu Days as a whole did not go over too well, the coffee house did as hundreds of students poured in to get out of the nippy weather and to hear several performers, along with Ms. Reiter. Faces dotted the campus grounds in masses as individuals md within groups but it's the solitary expressions that made up each day. Happy ones abounded at parties. Sadder ones sat around waiting to take a hard fest. Expressionless mugshots were everywhere, especially as students walked from class to class and from one study area in the library to another. Sticky faces glistened in the grey sun at Watermelon Bust and mud-caked lips stuck out behind a dirty mask during Tug-0-War. Mellow faces sat around the performers at Newman Folk Fest while angered expressions appeared on many faces when they began hearing about the fires that were supposedly set all over campus within a week of each other. Of course, all the faces didn't belong to students. Faculty members usually had their own special mannerisms while they stood in front of a class. Outside entertainers also brought their own style of speech and vocal tones to campus, such as Bill Cosby, Chet Atkins and Jill Ruclielshaus. Some of the 40 campus chesters, in their weird costumes, were enough to make people laugh but most didn't laugh when they were asked to give a few cents to the student cause. Smiles, laughs, smirks, cries. They dl abounded through the year according to the situations. Smiles especially were affluent when students first moved in and got to see lots of their old friends again. But tears flowed often when breaks came and that special person would be absent from your life for a week or more. Faces dotted the grounds. Most were new faces for in a school of 17,4110 plus there was no way to know them all. Just be thankful for the ones you did get to know. For they are the faces, the individuals, that probably meant the most to you and will never be forgotten. let's face it. 111e smiles and even the frowns were worth it in some small way.
