DANC ' ; From a Hoe-Down Beat to Cupid ' s Romnntir Rnlln ' : c houts and foot stomping sounded over campus on what seemed to be a normal Saturday afternoon in the Creek. Following these noises, one discovered they came from Carter Gym. Inside parents, students and dancers enjoyed Campbell ' s first Country-Western Day. There was banjo playing and country singing by Dr. Clyde Edgerton and his wife Susan and Mr. Jim Martz; square dancers from Dunn and the surrounding areas; and students and parents who joined in a the fun. Bales of hay and refreshments were furnished by the Women ' s Executive Committee. A parent of a Campbell freshman stated, It was worth the long trip. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day. The country music and fellowship did not end after the hoedown. A hay ride around the community provided the sense of real country festivities. All these events combined to create an ex- citing and great way to forget your studies, said freshman Lynn Reavis. On February 14, the atmosphere and music changed to a more varied style. The Valentine Dance was held in Mar- shbanks Dining Hall, and once again the organizing committee did an excellent job transforming the cafeteria into a romantic dance floor. Threshold per- formed for and impressed the audience with songs such as Hello by Lionel Richie and other chartbusters. The balloons floated around the dance hall while hearts and cupids draped the walls to create a romantic at- mosphere which lingered through the evening. These two events demonstrated the transformation which can occur when Student Government committees and students work together to achieve a mutual goal. — Kim Strickland THESE COUPLES HAPPILY pose before leav ing the dance to prove ttiey had a great time and enjoyed rhe music by Threshold.

SPRING Students Welcome Springtime to the Creek T. here ' s just something special about springtime, and the Creek was no exception. The beautiful landscape of the campus was a constant reminder of the time of the year. The dogwoods produced gorgeous pink and white blooms, while the grass was transformed into a lush, green carpet. Warmer temperatures reminded one that the spring semester was almost over. Students welcomed the relief from cold weather by spending more time outdoors. Greg Heath, a sophomore agreed stating, It makes you want to go outside and study. Armed with radios, towels, books, and lotions, sun- bathers became a common part of the scenery. Many were anxious to get an early start on a deep, dark tan. The courtyards of Burkot, Bryan, Kitchin, and Strickland were favorite spots for sun worshipers. Springtime was also a reflective time. Although tornadoes caused disaster in the southeastern part of the state, the ordeal reminded everyone that someone greater was in control. Campbell was not damaged, but many of the students were affected by it. The beauty of the surroundings kept one mindful of His power and glory. When asked about her thoughts on springtime, Carole Brisson, a sophomore said, It ' s a new awaken- ing, a beginning, like the world is wak- ing up from the winter. Spring is alive and vibrant. That statement summed up the spring of 1984, because it was very alive and vibrant in Buies Creek. — Willie Hucks FINDING TIME FOR man s best fri Brangle and Marion Karr pay these car attention during the Little 500 TRYING TO GET a head start on a su these Kitchin Dorm sunbathers relax ir
