North Star College Bowl Rebirth Of A Star e, shint- , shine. . . Finally the NORTH STAR had redisco- vered its glimmer. Bemg a new staff presented minor problems such as working late hours to meet crucial deadlines and not always being able to think of the right story. Khalil Dhouti stated, Sometimes having to turn in an article by deadline with nothing to write about can be a major problem. However, the news staff faced these problems and worked them out in or- der to provide the student body with not only campus news but a chance to voice its opinions. A friendly advice column written by the infamous Bud was also offered in the bi-weekly paper. Dawn Lee commented, I like to read what people have to say when they write in. The Dear Bud section is hi- larious. Which U.S. President had a wife named Lemonade Lucy? What was Mr. Libolfs flavor ot yogurt tor the day? The answers to such pressing questions could be answered by College Bowl participants. At the COLLEGE BOWL meetings, advisor Mr. Chuck Libolt posed ques- tions, which required short and quick responses on various subjects such as sports, music, and history. Jay Stanley commented, We ' re asked questions concerning topics from ancient Roman Emperors to modern writers. Points were given to each participant who answered a question correctly. Those with the highest totals were se- lected as members of the team which would engage in competition against other schools. Competitions were held at Fallbrook High School against 32 other schools and at U.C.R. First year member Helen Sanematsu stated, I really don ' t know what to expect at the competitions, but I hope we ' ll do well. Searching for a concluding sentence Chris Singleton gets a hiand Irom David Smith. Mem- bers ol the North Star often helped each other to meet crucial deadlines.

Alleged Ceramics Adventure Games Thrills Draw Students he Wheel. Who could achieve the skill necessary for it? Members of the ALLEGED CERAMICS CLUB were motivated to improve their ce- ramics skills by the challenge of the v heel, a potter ' s tool, and by the op- portunity for creativity. Although all members of the club had taken at least one year of ceramics be- fore joining, skill development was in- creased by encounters with the wheel. Explained Tina Jackson, I worked a long time before I could do anything with it. In addition to the wheel, creativity was a motivation for achievement in the club. We can make whatever we want, exclaimed Jackson. It ' s great! Most members enjoyed using their imagination to create different art ob- jects. Accomplishments in Alleged Ceramics by students may be attributed to the challenges to creat and achieve high levels of skill. Creative projects and tools like the wheel provided these challenges. Spike-filled pits and worm-infested zombies were all a part of Dungeons and Dragons. At each meeting of the ADVENTURE GAMES CLUB, its members braved danger in order to enact their fantasies. Participants met every Friday to exper- ience in exciting adventures created by the game master. We call Dun- geons and Dragons ' the Game ' , stat- ed Vice President Pam Watts. Howev- er, the club members did not allow the Game to completely take over their lives. Was it the adrenaline- building excite- ment that drew North students to each meeting? I can be immoral and run around waving my mace, commented Kurt Jensen on the roles he played. True to its name, the Adventure Games Club brought adventure to the lives of its members. -i-. Dungeons and Dragons was not always brim- minq wilh action. Club members lohn Schar- men, Steve Hanna, and Bill Nehrinq discuss the demise of a favorite cfiaracter. Taking on ' t he Wheel, Mike McFarlan com- pletes another successful creation for the Alleged Ceremics Club. Several v heels were available for club use. 1 98 oraanizations
