Winter Term on the West Side It is often said that for Winter Term at De- Pauw a student can do just about any- thing . This held true for yet another year. For many students the greater part of Winter Term 1987 was spent in rehearsal. One of the many projects offered was the produc- tion of the musical West Side Story by the DePauw University OperatMusical Theatre. Auditions were in December, with rehears- , alsiandimore rehearsals throughout both , Winter Term sessions. At the beginning of second semester in early February, the uni- versity and Greencastle communities were exposed to the final effort to create a pow- erful performance of West Side Story. The effort was justly rewarded when all perfor- mances were sold out, including the final dress rehearsal. The casting for this particular production was done quite well. There was much diver- sity in the casting in that a wide sampling of the student population was represented. It did come as a surprise that both leading fe- males were freshmen, both of whom per- formed exceptionally well. Overall, most performances went off without a hitch with only a few minor problems for the actors to muddle through. After attending the play it was easy to see the vast amount of time and effort used to create such a production. -Stacie Deinhart 30 West Side Story Missy Kline as Anita sings about life in America.

.. Spring Break: Time to Hit The Road Whether it is Florida, California, Mexico, the Bahamas, or home, spring vacation is always a welcome event. This year's mid- term exam fell the week before classes re- cessed, making studying difficult. As soon as the exams were taken and the suitcases packed, students loaded into their cars on their ways home, to the airport, or their va- cation sport. Florida, being the most popular spring break site for the eastern U.S. , was not at its best compared to previous years. The weather was overcast and rainy after the first few days. Ft. Lauderdale reported only a third of their usual spring break crowd. MTV chose Daytona Beach as their Florida concert and broadcasting site this year. Concerts held there included Wang Chung and Till Tuesday. Ft. Myers and Sanibel ls- land were the two neighboring hot spots on the Florida gulf side. Other exciting vaca- tion areas included Texas, Mexico, Hawaii, Colorado, Vermont, and Arizona. As the week came to a close, students headed back to Greencastle and Depauw's campus became alive once again. Students in the dorms were welcomed with newly in- stalled room telephone jacks. Everyone re- turned to one more light snowfall and a cou- ple more long months of classes.
