'Quin -WF ' 1 , 9, ,t,i,,,, john S. metzger The sun's beams were often studied by students who designed outside classrooms to educate themselves on the finer things in life. Scott Baxter, Marion sophomore, was only one of many who warmed up to the idea. The beat of a different drummer was the theme song for many Ball State students who marched through their academic year with a newly-found state of mind. lt could be found on the field, on the stage and, ultimately, on the faces of Ball State's student populace.

ITS AN Standing out from the crowd was what Ball State was all aboutg whether it be in academics, athletics or about anything students put their mind to. CONTENTS WATERMELON BUST 18 HOMECOMIN G 22 MISS BALL STATE 72 THEATRE 90 BIKE-A-THON 1 10 GRADUATION 1 16 he great escape The sometimes hum-drum hassles of higher education often took their toll on students. When note pads and No- Doze could no longer turn textbook knowledge into term paper material, they put their heads together to find a solu- tion. From Delta Tau Delta fraternity's Watermelon Bust to the campuswide Spring Sing, a much needed means of escape existed. Homecoming became the Greatest Show on Earth and Bike-A-Thon produced yet another victory for the indepen- dent team of Destiny cyclists, which has dominated the Delaware County Fairgrounds track since 1980. But idle hours weren't always filled with fun and games. Jody Moisan, Marion sophomore, spent days getting enough signatures on a petition that would keep campus shuttle buses off the administrative chopping block. Members of Beta Theta Pi fraternity conducted a self-study that removed their probationary status and put them back on the road to building a stronger, more responsible organization. They wanted excitement. They wanted change. And they didn't mind the work it took to get results. STATE OF MIND

10 Polyark For them, it was more than one world away. It was a mixture of new and old, historical and technical, foreign and familiar. The languages were alien, the habits were diverse and the settings romantic. For the 25 people on Polyark VII, it was a study of people and the students were the strangers. At times it was uncomfortable, like in France and Italy where the language was a barrier, but for the most part everyone was friendly and helpful, said Rosemarie Carneiro, Indianapolis senior, remembering the frustra- tion of trying to communicate. Polyark VII, the residential and architectural field study tour group, was designed to expose students directly to different cultures and their architecture. But being alien didn't bother the group on its seven-week residen- tial stay in London or on the four- week tour of Europe, it was another world they adapted to and learned from. I learned more about myself and people during Polyark than at any point in my life, said David Cook, Speedway senior. He leaned back in the orange chair and con- tinued as he stared into space. It changed the way I think and look at people. It helped me mature. And it taught me to smile a lot. Smiling was something the en- tire group did as they deplaned in London from Chicago. Loaded down with the one piece of lug- gage they were allowed, camera equipment, translation books and an inch-thick itinerary, they boarded an underground train for the city. It was a culture shock for most of them, said J. Robert Taylor 7 I . '1 . ,i F it l al 'l Q When the 25-member Polyark crew packed their bags for the continental tour, they also opened the door to many new ex- periences.

Since the walk to the train was inside, they hadn't been outside since Chicago. Then, BAM! They were in London. But the shock didn't last long. After about a day of being with the people and a week of learning to get around, we pretty much felt as if we were from London, Carneiro said. Words like tube, and ale, fit into their vocabulary just as soon as they figured out the bloody ex- change rate and where the closest bus stops were located. During their residential stay in London, the students studied peo- ple by conducting impromptu in- terviews in the parks, on the tube and during everyday events. English people are very laid back, Taylor said as he swung his feet onto his desk. They take time out every day in the park and walk a lot. That's when I en- couraged the kids to talk with them, that way they could see the lifestyle and really get to know the people. Not only did they tour London and England talking to people and studying the architecture, but each student also did an in-depth study of some facet of foreign culture. Everyone kidded me because I continued
