Celebrities Take Time for Collegians and Alumni r I e was fantastic. His dialogue was so easy to relate to. . .It (the Pow Wow) was definitely his show. The object of junior Cindy Hooker ' s enthusiasm is the sometimes host of the Tonight Show, Jay Leno. Many students ex- pressed similar sentiments re- garding the performance of Leno and other entertainers that performed at the Pow Wow in Doak Campbell Sta- dium. I thought the majority of the entertainment, even be- fore Jay Leno, was great — especially the Golden Girls, says sophomore John Yohanan. Among the other personali- ties and celebri- ties present that night were the official voice of the Seminole Gene Deck- erhoff, basket- ball coach Pat Kennedy and football coach Bobby Bowden. Bowden had in tow players Kirk Carruthers, Odell Hag- gins, Peter Tom Willis and Tony Yeomans. Entertainment included a dance routine by the cheerleaders and the Golden Girls. The Marching Chiefs also performed, and Renegade and Chief Osceola made an appearance. One of the evening ' s high- lights was the crowning of the Chief and Princess. Brian Al- exander, sponsored by the Al- pha Tau Omega fraternity, was named Cheif, and Dana Livaudais, a Pi Beta Phi mem- ber, was crowned Princess. The musical guest opening for Leno was female vocalist Cherelle, a recording artist most known for her top 40 hit Saturday Love. While Cher- elle gave an impressive per- formance, some students were unfamiliar with her music. As Cindy Hooker says, I TAKING TIME didn ' t recognize any of Cher- elle ' s music, so that made it kind of hard for me to enjoy it. Christy Leavins expressed a similar opinion. I could not really understand the words to her songs. She talked too much between songs, and she seemed to be barking part of the time! Despite the general discon- tent with the musical guest, most students agreed that Le- no was worth the wait. Leno is noted for choosing material based on current events in the news and making people laugh at themselves without being vulgar. His material in- cluded a few shots aimed at the Jim Baker scandal, trying to understand his aging par- ents, and analyzing the differ- ences between the sexes. — Michelle Estlund and Craig Rothberg Being among the first to perform, the Marching chiefs lined the field of the Doak Campbell Stadium to play for the early arrivers.

Suzanne McNeill Building the Student Body Students Make Good health and Firm Physiques Top Priority I he stereotypical college student inks beer, eats junk food, lays on the )uch all day long, and gains an inev- ible fifteen pounds. However, the trend i campus these days is a preoccupation ith fitness, weight, and general appear- ice. Students have become part of the itionwide fitness craze! With fitness as a priority on many stu- snt ' s self-improvement lists, enrollment : gyms near campus is at an all time gh. Dannitte Mays, co-owner of Gold ' s ym, comments, In the mid-seventies, I in remember there being only one gym town other than Tully. It ' s amazing how any students today are health con- gous and working out on a regular ba- s. Recognizing that the majority of their ientele is students, many gyms cater to tern by offering semester specials, hich allow for a health club membership i a student ' s budget. Is everybody having fun?! yells the ' eless and ever-enthusiastic aerobics in- :ructor to the nearly 60 girls, packed into te mirrored room like sardines. Nodding exhaustedly and forcing smiles, the girls wipe the sweat from their brows and con- tinue on with their leg lifts, determined to shed that Freshman 15 by spring break. Aerobic classes are a favorite, and al- most everyone can find one to suit their needs, with classes ranging in difficulty from Body Conditioning for beginners to High Intensity for the more advanced aerobiciser. Clad in tight Danskins and leotards, the girls dance to the latest mu- sic, burn 300 calories and hour and ac- tually have fun while they ' re keeping in shape. Senior Tracey Gompf says, I ' ve Scott Tucker lifts weights at Westwood Fitness. Mark Weidler been doing aerobics since I was a fresh- man. It keeps me in shape, helps to re- lieve stress, and it ' s a lot of fun! Much of the male student body is striv- ing to banish their beer bellies and attain the ideal physique. Motivated by the the- ory, No pain, No gain, they push their muscles beyond what they are willing to endure. Richard Perrin, who gets his work out at Tully Gym (where use of facilities is free of charge to students), says, Working out makes me feel more con- fident and less stressed out. If pressures are getting to me, going to the gym is a great way to vent my frustrations. The gym is not the only place where students can be seen in their efforts to get fit. Walking, running and cycling are also very popular and effective activities used to keep the student body in shape. With all of the exercise efforts that are going on around campus, healthy is clearly the concensus and the slothy student stereotype is surely out of style. — Suzanne McNeill Fitness €p
