Put on exclusively by Ball State students, the Revue entertained over 2,000 people with such acts as singing, dancing, burlesque- like skits and ad-lib humor. Not a single part of the circus atmosphere was left to the im- agination. Costumes and sets gave the enthusiastic crowd a true pic- the audience.

Life as Charlie Cardinal had its risks but the Ball State mascot kept school spirit at its peak for all varsity sports teams. Jenny Whitney, Whiteland sophomore, takes her chances in the hands of a few avid football fans. continued from page 24 day's football game didn't fare as well. For only the second time since 1954, the stadium wasn't fill- ed. The Cardinals gave the Kent State Golden Flashes their first road victory in three years with a 15-10 loss before a sparse crowd of less than 10,000. The Cards were first to strike after Kent State tailback Derrick Nix fumbled on the Ball State 42- yard line. Behind sophomore run- ning backs Jay Neal, Yorktown, and Burt Austin, Indianapolis, BSU moved the ball into position for a 27-yard field goal by John Dietrich, Fort Wayne sophomore. But turnovers plagued Cardinal quarterbacks, as they had all season, allowing one Kent State touchdown and in the fourth quarter, a field goal. However, the day ended on some rather pleasant notes -- those of Glen Campbell and Sawyer Brown in concert at Emens. As Campbell walked to centerstage, bagpipes over his shoulder playing Amazing Grace, applause rose from the crowd.

Dr. James Marine, Student Programs director, unveils the Student Voluntary Services' new logo before SVS volunteers Ann Whitsel, Muncie graduate student, and Tana Myers, Noblesvillesenior. To raise money so that SVS could buy a new van, A.J. Spoerner, Munster senior, ran 22 miles and walked three around the West Quad track. The van would allow the volunteers a much more convenient mode of travel.

The four were on their way to Indianapolis while the majority of other students were on their way to class and unconcerned or unknowledgeable about Student Voluntary Services. I think a lot of people don't know what SVS is, said Marita Tolle, Windfall sophomore and 28 SVS Volunteers Pendleton State Prison volunteer. I've had criminal justice classes and I learned about SVS through them. Leslie Bawmhower, South Bend junior, agreed with Tolle and add- ed that if it hadn't been for her counseling professors encourag- ing her and her classmates to par- ticipate in SVS, she never would have known about it. The only time we hear about SVS is during Campus Chest, said Bawmhower, Indiana Boys School volunteer. In counseling classes they say that we should get involved with SVS.

Hoping to resolve the problem, SVS unveiled its new logo during SVS Week Winter Quarter. Replacing the large red S join- ing the words student and ser- vices was a red, open heart shape with an arrow at the end pointing in to Student Voluntary Ser- vices. The service also showed slides of its volunteers and the institu- tions they had served during the past year. The main purpose of SVS Week is to recognize the volunteers, said SVS Week co- coordinator Tonja Weaver, Ninevah sophomore. The leaders all sent out 'thank you' notes and put personals in the Daily News for them. For the new volunteers, that was enough. I love it, said Audry Schweier, Zionsville junior. I feel volunteering is important and it gives me a sense of satisfaction. I
