DuSk ' til Dawn entertains campus in night long carnival Some students go home on week- ends, a dedicated few study; most, however, seek out one of the various forms of entertainment in the area. IMUB provided the entertainment on Friday night, September 12, with a Dusk ' til Dawn. Nearly 10,000 stu- dents participated in assorted activities ranging from demonstrations in arts and crafts to seemingly endless movie orgies. One of the favorite activities was the Celebrity Pie in the Eye event. Par- ticipants were allowed to pelt IUSA and IMUB officials with pans of chiffon goo in the best Soupy Sales tradition. Another popular event was the Ba- nana Split Eating Contest. Ten 5-man teams sat down to five-foot long ba- nana splits only to find themselves out- scooped by the defending champs, the Mother Truckers. — Cindy Hossler Rick Wood 10

ISSUES That ' s Josh — Kathy Furore Banners and buttons appeared all across campus. From Ballantine to Bris- coe, scribbled announcements on blackboards and billboards proclaimed, JOSH is coming! Publicity couldn ' t, have been more widespread for the President himself. JOSH turned out to be Josh McDowell, a religious author, speaker and traveling representative of Campus Crusade for Christ. For three consecu- tive nights in the IU auditorium, Josh spoke about sex, revolution and the Bi- ble. Even though JOSH was the subject of one of the biggest publicity cam- paigns on campus, someone forgot to do the follow-up. Something like JOSH is gone! might have been ap- propriate. Joan Little Trial — Frances Rogers The trial of Joan Little was a drama as turbulent as any page of Southern his- tory, re-enacting many of the contro- versies inherent in a civil war versus civil liberties culture. But in the case of the twenty year old defendant, being black and female in North Carolina was not a hindrance in obtaining a speedy and equitable trial; rather, her predica- ment brought aid from many who wished to further the rights of women and blacks and see that justice be done on both counts. Charged with first degree murder in the death of her white jailer, Clarence Alligood, Little declared that she stabbed the guard in defense of being raped. Other female inmates of the Beaufort jail readily admitted that jailers traded food and other luxury i tems for sexual favors. After killing Al- ligood, Little escaped and hid in the home of nearby friends before surren- dering herself to Raleigh officials. The evidence in the case was hastily and often carelessly reconstructed, but the most substantial clues gave the court two questions to ponder — Did Little entice Alligood into her cell for the purpose of murdering him, or was she defending herself from sexual assault? Apparently the issues baffled the judge and jury as well, for Little was acquitted in the fourth month of her trial on grounds of insufficient evidence. New Vice-President — Siegurd Hulse Kobert M. O ' Neil was formally con- firmed as Vice-President of lU-Bloom- ington on September 12 filling the va- cancy left by Dr. Byrum E. Carter. Com- ing from the University of Cincinnati where he was serving as Executive Vice-President of academic affairs in addition to being a professor of law, O ' Neil will assume his new post in Janu- ary, 1976. O ' Neil holds A.B., A.M., and LL.B. degrees from Harvard and has a wide spectrum of experience and interest in education, law, and administration. Chairman of the search and screen committee, Dr. Donald J. Gray, report- ed that O ' Neil had the unanimous en- dorsement of the group. The an- nouncement of O ' Neil ' s selection was made August 5, 1975. The well-travelled native of Boston, Mass. plans to move with his wife and three children to Bloomington in De- cember to assume permanent resi- dency. n
