IK1CIK OFF Kick off concert began yet another School Year T he day began like so many other Kick Off mornings — warm but windy. About 1 p.m. on Saturday, September 5, stu- dents began to slowly migrate to Lewis Field Stadium for the beginning of the Wheatstock concert. “Wheatstock is a spin-off of the outdoor concert of the 1960s ' Woodstock “ Dave Brown, director of pro- gramming, said. Approximately half an hour after The Glory Boys, a blues and 60s jazz band, performed to a crowd of about 75 people which grew progressively throughout the afternoon. While students and Hays resi dents alike listened to the free concert, the skies clouded up several times. However, no sig- nificant rain fell. At 4 p.m. as the second band, Denver Locke, was preparing to play, the wind picked up and a downpour of rain fell. Both the country swing band and those in atten- dance scurried for shelter. As a result, the concert and the barbeque were moved under the west bleachers. Brown said the rain did not disrupt the concert or the barbeque. “1 think the rain was unfortunate for the bands ' Brown said. “But a number of people fol- lowed Denver Locke to shelter under the stadium. 1 The Kick Off tradition be- gan six years ago as a barbe- que, Since then, the annual festivity has grown into a full day activity sponsored by the Memorial Union Activities Board, The barbeque started at 5 p.m. and people swarmed to the smoke-filled area under neath the grandstands to eat hamburgers, baked beans, po- tato salad and picnic delica sies. “I think everyone had a good time, despite the bad weather Patti Hollern MUAB chairman, said. The football team concluded the day ' s festivities by winning their opening game of the sea- son, 27-3 over Langston Uni- versity, Oklahoma, HAMBURGERS AND BAKED BEANS make a tasty meal for two young Kick-Off celebrants. ENTHUSIASM CONTINUED TO POUR from the football team al though rain was also falling. 23
