le Spirit jand hats, glasses, pom is much more than a college campus. with buildings here and there. K-Slate is purple and purple pride is the word. At any athletic event, a K-State fan is wearing something purple — a purple cowboy hat, a purple K.State shirt. carrying a purple glass, waving a purple pompom, or HSU flag. Quite a reversal considering that ten years ago the students were contemplating a change of school colors. Vince Gibson with his we gonna van spirit brought the Wildcat football team out of the conference basement. and into a conference sixth place. The purple pride program was working, and the fans wore the color with newly established pride. Purple toilet paper appeared at the games streamed from the top Tow of bleachers to the bottom row. K-State earned a 10th place national ranking with a 59.21 (still the most points scored against Oklahoma) victory over Oklahoma. Nancy Reese Purple pride came toe crashing halt in 1970 with a NCAA probation and severe financial losses. In 1977, K. State was again put on a NCAA probation, indefinitely. Recently, Jack Hartman and Jim Dickey brought the purple back, by restoring confidence and pride. With a combination of Jack Hartman ' s established basketball team, and Jim Dickey ' s fill ' er up with Wildcats program, the popularity of purple is back.

-1.7 t.r.71-Ct. TCCUTIC.E47 Faces of Billy Joel Play Us Another Tune Mr. Piano Man crowd tossed wildly in their seats: screaming and waving their arms in an almost chaotic frenzy. They wanted an- other shot of the Adrenalin that has made Billy Joel the biggest shot of them all. A consummate artist, Joel ' s perfor- mance to a near sellout crowd on April 28, 1979 in Ahearn Field House, was a finely woven tapestry of lights, music and entertainment. Unlike many musicians, whose songs are carbon copies of each other, Joel ' s style and musical techniques are as varied Carol Holstead as the colors of the rainbow. His music moves out of the realm of pure rock ' n ' roll. Most of Joel ' s compositions are com- binations of jazz, soul, and classical influ- ences. Joel ' s singing techniques also are as var. ied as the styles which influence his music. The soft, fluid tones Joel used when sing- ing his love songs contrasted sharply with raspy intensity of his ballads. The variety kept the concert alive. Joel is a streetwise kid from New York, and many of his pieces reflect his upbringing. However, there Is more to this man ' s music than ballads about street life. Joel also has composed a variety of unique love songs and portraits. In them, he abandons the usual theme of love lost or love discovered. Instead, Joel concen- trates on characters and complexities of relationships. During his concert he touched the audience with two such songs: She ' s Always a Woman and Just the Way You Are. Joel revealed his rebellious self in the hard-hitting, foot-stomping My Life. As he performed it, the audience became al- most as rebellious as Joel. The themes Joel interprets Into his mu- sic are basic and straightforward. They cover a variety of topics, and in them there is something to which every person can relate. Two lines from his hit single Just the Way You Are, reflect Joel ' s desire at remaining direct in his music: I After receiving three rows from some enthusiastic members of the audience. Joel danced on the piano. with one of the roses in his teeth. don ' t want clever conversation, I don ' t want to work that hard. The audience called the Grammy-win- fling musician back for three encores. At the end of the third encore, Joel cast his spell on the audience: Good night Kan- sas. Don ' t take any shit from anybody. The Billy Joel concert was co-promoted by Feyline Productions, since the Union Program Council (UPC) had previously gone in the hole $5,000, because of poor turnouts at the Jerry Lewis Show and the Marshall Tucker Band concert. blt
