ttling loso was a year of change. In many ways it was very unsettling. But at Ball State students spent their time settling into different activities and interests while the world outside experienced changes in power, cold war and invasions. Students settled into the familiar traditions in- cluding Watermelon Bust, Homecoming and Bike-a- thon. They packed Emens Auditorium for the Kenny Loggins and Pablo Cruise concerts. At the theatre they saw “The Miracle Worker” and “Jesus Christ Stuperstar.” And they were touched by the words of Josh McDowell in his three day series of talks. Their fashions took on a new look in 1980. The look of the 40’s became a trend as ties and lapels narrowed and dresses began to resemble those up in Grandma’s attic. The “preppy” look was on a new wave of popularity, with casual designer clothes stocking the shops. More than ever the Western look was in and cowboy clothes packed college closets. Cowboy music also became popular among students as Kenny Rogers, Waylon and Willie and the Charlie Daniels Band became favorites. Disco was rapidly los- 12 Student Life Into Student Life ing its footing, and the “new wave” made quite a splash for some. Many students joined in a surge of nationalism that swept the country and showed their patriotism in a variety of ways.Some displayed the American flag or joined in protests in honor of the American hostages in Iran. Others put signs in dorm windows which read “Free the Hostages,” and still others put up signs which were not so mild. They watched the Olympics, cheer- ing for Eric Heiden who won five gold medals for the U.S.A. And they watched hopefully as the hockey team defeated the undefeatable Russians, and went on to win a gold medal. In many ways it was a year of turmoil for the students, but they adjusted and settled into the world of Ball State. --by Gina Linville Not all babies drink milk.

Watermelon Bust is the initial gathering of partiers for the first big bust of the academic social season. The elation expressed by this woman is indicative of the festivities which drew huge crowds on the Delta Tau Delta lawn each year. --photo by William E. Vance
