Grand Slam Car Bash $7.68 at Ten Cents Per wape 1 h ' Alice Maxell, Dianne Atkins and Martin Sollars coordinate collection of Heart Fund Money at campus headquarters. Above, left, ace hoopman Richard Marrs gains posses- sion of the ball for faculty cagers after student senate tossed out of bounds in another fund-raising activity during Heart Week For the car bash, a 1946 Chevrolet was given a good beating in the name of healthier hearts to the tune of ten cents a slam or three for a quarter. Thinking back to days when they might have been in condition for such a workout, faculty ballplayers huff and puff along the bench while other teammates carry on against the fleet student senate team. On the bench are William Hollis, Jerry Kaufman, Dr. Duane Smith, Stanton Englehart, Dr. Herbert Owen, Dr. Jack Opdycke, Ben Edmondson, Dean Ned Wal- lace, Mark Clark, Donald Spangsberg, Meryl Robert- son, Dr. Frank Bowman. Del Ottinger and Olin Smith heft the hammers at the car bash in the parking lot. Del Ottinger was senate chairman for this frolic, and following the weekend activities, made recommendations that in future stronger handles come with the hammers to prevent breakage when a real swinger like John Wright steps up to bash. Ottinger also suggested a better means of disposing of the dented cars at con- clusion of the event. Joe Wolcott, assistant to the dean of students also helped with this phase. 53

From every angle, Heart Fund Weekend was a winner. Sponsored and supervised by stu- dent senate, activity timing worked with precision. Dance committee chairman Sandy Benzel, assisted by Dave Shrum, gave credit to Nanci Simmons and Gary Denison for a fine job in contacting bands for the musical contest. Dancing began at 10 p.m. following the coro- nation of royalty. It was decided this season that two winners would be nained among the competing music groups which played for the occasion. This decision was made to avoid a display of prejudice in favor of the most popu- lar group which has not always been the best musically. Five senators voted first, basing judgement on appearance, ability, actions and attitudes. The Activators won a nod from voting senators. In a second vote, all attending dancers cast ballots by putting pennys in jars set before each band. Every penny counted as one vote, and all money went to the Heart Fund. The Cherry Stones received 1,638 votes to win the large group trophy. Kathy Sullivan bends near to cast a vote in the snack bar for spirit king and queen. At bottom, left, Gary Gaylord ponders a jar of beans set to arouse the curious as Shalako Club attempted to add more money to the Heart Drive. Below, Westerners ' Club racers make the precarious turn at mid- course heading toward the finish. On the move are Mike Monell, Monte Mills, Kathy Sower and Frank Kinion. 52
