Registration week was . . THE clowns weren ' t wearing make-up and the ringmasters forgot their tophats, but registration was a circus. Several simultaneous events to amuse all lent to the carnival atmosphere. The main event was registration itself, the greatest magic show in Bloomington. Hokus-pokus. Within one hour several hundred dollars disappeared from your wallet. Whala! In its place you received classes you weren ' t quite sure about, a handful of pamphlets and a headache Excedrin couldn ' t cure. If you were a freshman, there was an added attraction. SOAP, Student Organization Activity Promotion, passed out small bars of soap and invited new students to sample free watermelon and drinks in Dunn Meadow. They boogied to the bands of Stream Winner, the Randy Handley Band and Duke Tomato and the All Star Frogs. After carousing at the concert and showering with your free soap, you were urged to attend the Fourth Street Art Festival, one of the finest exhibitions of local arts and crafts in the area. It was a great opportunity to pick up quality accessories before you collapsed from your first college week.

[QllttiTf 5. RIGHTS UNDER J«apm N BEJENlfO OR iBRIDGfO . BY TSIlNITED mM KM STATE W «Cfll!NrflF m sanctioned police power over the press. You hate to rely on the police and judges ' sense of restraint, because they don ' t always show it. HE U.S. Sup- reme Court handed down another split decision on June 28. It ruled in the Allan Bakke case that quotas for affirmative action programs must not be founded on race alone. In its decision, the court stated that Bakke, 38, should not have been denied admittance to the Uni- versity of California Medical College at Davis because he was a white male. The Bakke case stirred up a flurry of verbal fights between various interest groups and was deemed the most important civil rights case since Brown v. Board of Edu- cation. Other monumental decisions were solved out of court. Approximately 100,000 women, men and children marched in Washington, D.C. on July 9 to voice sup- port for the extension of the Equal Rights Amendment. It was an inspiring day filled with speeches and smiles. Ms. magazine editor, Gloria Steinem, cheered, This is a revolution that cannot fail. We are the women our parents warned us about, and we ' re proud of it. The emotionally mov- ing march was a success, and later Con- gress passed the ERA extension. Another group, the postal workers, was dissatisfied with its conditions. They threatened to strike because of slow wage negotiations. The postal strike was called off, however, when U.S. Mediation Di- rector Wayne Horvitz negotiated a new three-year contract on July 21. Soon after, a wave of religious and med- ical debates developed concerning the birth of Louise Brown, the world ' s first test tube baby. The daughter of Leslie, 31, and Gilbert John Brown, 38, Louise was conceived in a test tube, implanted back into her mother ' s womb and born on July 26. Leslie Brown had been unable to con- ceive due to damaged Fallopian tubes. Al- though many attempts had been con- ducted previously, Louise was the first known fetus to live until birth. The healthy girl ' s physician. Dr. Patrick Step- toe, offered a new hope for the many childless couples who cheered the mod- ern medical marvel. For the many audiences who once applauded Totie Fields and Bob Crane, Viclu Buckoer From religious news to fairytales, once upon a June 28, a beautiful princess Caroline of Monoco, 21, wed Parisian playboy and commoner Phillippe Junot, 38. The King and Queen did not approve of their daughter ' s choice, but alas the princess insisted and two ceremonies were held. The first was a civil affair in a chamber where her parents were wed and the second, after the couple ' s night apart, was a Roman Catholic ceremony. We are the women our parents warned us about, and we ' re proud of it. - Gloria Steinem this summer brought tears. Crane, 49, best known for his television portrayal of the brilliant colonel on the zanny serial, Hogan ' s Heroes, died of extensive blows to his head by an unknown attacker in his Arizona hotel room on June 29. Totie Fields, 48, beloved comedienne of the talk show and nightclub circuits, died of a heart attack in Las ' Vegas on Au- gust 2. Prior to her death, though. Fields had staged two inspiring comebacks to the entertainment world — one following a leg amputation in 1976 and another after a mastectomy in 1977. On August 6, the Roman Catholic Church mourned the death of its leader. Pope Paul VI who died of complications following a heart attack. The 80-year-old spiritual leader of 683 million Roman Catholics had assumed the papal tiara in 1963 and had authorized more changes than any pope since the 16 century. After a period of contemplation, the conclave of Cardinals elected John Paul I. Another wealthy woman, shipping mil- lionairess Christina Onassis, 27, married Russian bureaucrat, Sergei Kauzov, 37, on August 1. Onassis temporarily moved into a two-room Moscow apartment with her new husband and mother-in-law. So much wedded bliss? Not really. Bri- tain ' s Princess Margaret, 47, upset the pretty, painted picture when she divorced Lord Snowdown, 48, after 18 years of marriage and two children on May 24. This was the first divorce granted to an immediate member of the royal family since Henry VII divorced Anne of Cleves in 1540. Back in our favorite fun-city, the sum- mer slip-slided away. Thousands of stu- dents arrived from faraway places. Many freshmen exalted in their new found free- dom. Some seniors shed tears. Parties boomed. Dull dorm rooms bloomed. Bookstores bulged. And as August ended, the autumn new season began. ED By Laura Manske
