Ehrmann enjoys every last bite of her cupcakes. l l j Although tumout ,could have been better, Spirit Week '88 was deemed an overall success for coordinator Julie Berry. Spirit Week activities were planned to promote school spirit and to highlight three of the Hendrix Warrior basketball games and a Water Warrior swim meet, which was evetually cancelled due to the Arkan- sas blizzard of 1988. KHDX kicked off the week's festivities with its Rockin' with the Warriors radio show in which the Hendrix campus heard their favorite basketball players transformed into DJ s for the pirit Week '88 evening. MUHGHY preceding the Hendrix-UAM game, students scavenged the campus for five hidden boll- weevils. Rhonda Primm, Cheri Holden, and Mike Birrer were among the successful hunters who traded in their plastic pests for Hendrix memorabilia. Spurred on by a fired-up crowd the Warriors hit the century mark in a 100-85 win over the Bollweevils. Tuesday night, the Hendrix community joined together for a unique study break. Eat-It-Up night pitted teams from each of the brother-sister dorms in a food fest. Female team members downed chocolate cupcakes while their male counterparts consumed hotdogs. Then each of teams shared in the joy of forcing down a ring of jello in a effort to be the first to clean their plate. Although the battle was a close one, cheers such as shove it inf, just one more bite, and go throw it up, spurred the Martin-Galloway team of Greg Garrison and Melissa Izor to victory. Thursday night, the Warriors went on the warpath to Arkadelphia and found themselves out- matched in an exciting yet disappointing loss to the Henderson Reddies. Satur- day the Warriors attempted to bounce back in their con- test with SAU but were edged out in the final moments of the game. How ever, the dance in the Grove Gym lobby following the game was still a festive one, and Hendrix celebrated the general success of its teams thus far in the season. The fresh, novel contests helped rejuvinate the waning Hendrix spirit and Spirit Week '88 proved to be an enjoyable and successful one for all involved. Student Life 19

Through the Murphy and Steel Center programs, and Special Events programs, students had a plethora of opportunities in which to seek enrichment and enlightment. This year the Murphy program introduced us to such literary experts as Student Life Eric Bentley who enter- tained his audience with a combination of song and light humor. Wendy O,Flaherty discussed the transformation of myth in literature with those students attending her lecture, and in the spring, the campus was graced with a poetry reading by Carolyn Kizer. Through the Steel Center program, students took part in discussions with experts in religious, political, and scientific fields. Students discov- ered the real facts about AIDS, debated medical ethics issues, questioned the role of conservative religous ideals in today's political arena, learned to meditate, looked into the world of Baha'is in Iran and their persecution, and were informed about the current revolution in hermeneutics. Special Events offered the student a variety of opportunities to enrich themselves in the hu- manities. Activities that included the Gran Ballet .....,.. Folklorico de Mexico, art exhibitions, dramatic presentations, a perform- ance by the Harvey Pittel Saxophone Quartet, and movies presented the chance for cultural awak- ening. Each program lent itself well to personal growth. Those who attended found new ideas and infomiation, and those who did not can only look back with regret at the missed possibities for enrichment.
