Spring Sing. .. osts and h 0 s t e s s e 5 Mark Brown, Paul Lock- hart, Lori Baie ' ' ' ra White opened Spring Sing 1986 by singing, In the Morning of My Life. This got the show off the ground: After literally months of preparatory prac- tices and work, Spring Sing 1986 had finally begun. Soon after the first number, clubs began to give their own performances. Kappa Delta Kappa, Sigma Tau Sigma, and Chi Lambda Chi carried a theme of a jungle tribe while Galaxy and Iu Go Ju pretended to be members of the Harding Security. Next, Kin '5 Men, OEGE and Chi Alp a Rho hit the field as two rival baseball teams. Following their show, Gata and Alpha Tau Epsilon brought us back in time with a USO theme while Chi Sigma Alpha and Regina went through some bizarre changes to become werewolves. Kappa Kappa ley, and Lau-v Kappa and Kappa Sigma Kap- pa followed with a theme of train conductors. Setting sail for our country, Sub-T 16 and K0 Jo Kai dressed as sailors. Kappa Tau Omega, Kirei Na Ai, Omega Phi, and Tri Sigma Delta all combined to portray every tooth's nightmare, pla- que, while Shantih and Ka Re Ta dedicated their show to a popular soft drink.

Pledge Week. .. hat a wild and wacky week! Fresh- menwere ad- vised by upperclass- men during pledge week to let their hair down. This is your excuse to be as crazy as you want to be and get away with it, encoure aged one senior to a freshman friend. Amazingly enough, the thing to do, if you wanted to be with it, was to brown-nose as many people as possible within an extreme- ly small amount of time. This was carried out in various and sundry ways, such as: carry- ing an endless amount of trays up to the conveyor belt in the Heritage Cafeteria; washing filthy cars and trucks belong- ing to the pledge week superiors; and, being a caddy for an afternoon game of golf. These were only a few of the sly, manipulative techniques of the pledges. This semester the clubs were told to slacken up with the demands placed on a pledge attempting to join a Club. The Club members were not suppose to tell the pledges to do things; however, the members heavily advised the pledges take their vote into ac- 'count and definitely follow their suggestions. The highlight of pledge week was, of course, Silly Day. The pledges went absolutely crazy! They were ready and willing to do anything and everything they were pledged to do, hoping it would help them in their club endeavors. Like hungry little wolves,they kept coming back to their pledge masters and mistresses for more. It became a mental- ly draining ex erience for the old club mem ers whose cre- ativity level was nil, and even for those who normally flow- ed with endless wit. By the end of the day, the new recruits were pledged to take naps, showers, go study, or simply to just go away! The Student Center and the Heritage Cafeteria were the central locations of the somewhat interesting Pledges humiliate themselves to belong characters roaming the cam- pus on Silly Day. By 4:00, however, these places were basically deserted. They were on to even more exciting and beneficial events, such as a joust on the front lawn, mud- pit wrestling, or a beauty pageant involving the most hideous creatures to ever walk the face of this earth. Inductions were the icing on the cake, so to speak. There were some very meanin ful, sentimental ceremonies eld by the women's clubs to accept the new members into their respective clubs. The men basically buddied up. The pledges seemed to drop all their built up anxieties in a matter of moments when their tension was released at their acceptance into the clubs. At this time they realized how much pledge week had truly benefitted them. Their re- quirements for notorious pledge books were designed only to bring them closer to one another and familiarize them with the club memberso - Cathy Spivey . Air raid!
