The musicians had been preparing for the concert during the six days they at- tended the Golden Eagle Workshop at Southeast Mis- souri University, july 29- Aug. 3. Each day there were three full band rehearsals. Indivi- duals then met and prac- ticed in sectionals. jeff Fieberg, sophomore, attended the workshop and won the Outstanding Band Camper Award for the sec- ond consecutive year. In recognition of his achieve- ment, The Webster-Kirk- wood Times pictured Fie- berg in its Sept. 21 issue. I was really excited about the recognition I received, said Fieberg.

Becky Klein, sophomore, spent june 10-17 at the Mis- souri University tMUj Quar- tet Seminar. She practiced with her cello quartet for four hours a day. They also gave two concerts. Our instructors taught us to make the group sound like one person, said Klein. Musicians were not the only students who worked on improving their perfor- mances. Rebecca Groves, sophomore, janet Enboden, senior, and Tom Allen, ju- nior, attended a drum major workshop at DePauw Uni- versity, july 7-12. Students spent class time learning new marches and routines, along with improv- ing their techniques. They worked us hard, but I really learned a lot. I had to go because it was my first year as a majorette, but I'lI probably go back next year, said Groves. Besides hosting a music seminar, MU also held a journalism workshop, june 'IO-'l4. To improve her writing, Heather McVicar, junior, at- tended the workshop. Each student wrote an ar- ticle. At the end of the week, the workshop paper, The Missourian, featured McVi- car's article, How far would you go for a friend?

Racer jumps ahead, stays backg another travels great distance false start II At first I was embarrassed because a television crew was there, and the camera light was shining right- on me, said jon Byrd, sopho- more. Byrd was one of 10,000 people who rode in the Moonlight Ramble, a 20- mile bike race through St. Louis, which started at 2 a.m., Aug 26. Byrd, however, spent the first few moments of the Ramble on the ground. He had attempted to ride under the rope barrier at the start of the course. It caught on the seat of his bike and threw him to the ground. The Moonlight Ramble was not the only bike riding students did during the sum- mer. Tom Ganim and Eddie KountZ, sophomores, at- tended a national biking convention in Indianapolis, Ind., july 3-8. Biking throughout the city, the cyclists averaged 20-40 miles a day. On july 6, they biked two laps around the Indy 500 track. Cycling also took students outside the United States. Sarah Finch, sophomore, spent 20 days biking across Nova Scotia with 12 girls from the American Youth Foundation's Camp Mer- rowvista, in New Hampshire. Finding a place to stay kept the group busy. Camp- sites sometimes were a help- ful Canadian's garage or a cemetery. Amidst the clutter in their dorm room at a Ball State journalism workshop, july 20-Aug. 3, Kerri Kite and Ashley Hall, seniors, do home- work for their classes the next morning. Ji! R I I, gt wr'-

I found out later that lorry was their word for truck, said Lori Sethman, senior. Sethman was one of sever- al students who spent part of their summer abroad. We went to visit my brother and stayed at an Air Force base about 40 miles north of London, said Seth- man. Other students, such as Ann Dammkoehler, senior, and Khleber Van Zandt, ju- nior, traveled abroad as part of their participation in spe- cial exchange programs. I went to Nagano, japan, said Dammkoehler. There were 100 of us that went as japan-U.S. Senate Scholars. In japan, Dammkoehler at- tended school for three weeks along with participat- ing in other planned activi- ties. . For Van Zandt, it was a sis- ter city exchange program with Lyon that allowed him to spend a month in France. I actually lived in Lyon but vacationed in Nice and Ciana, said Van Zandt. However, it took Van Zandt a while to adjust. It was embarrassing be- cause some things are so dif- ferent. The bathroom in the -f house where I stayed was made up of two rooms, and when I first got there I couldn't find the toilet, he said. All of those who traveled abroad said they gained memories to last a lifetime. It was all the little exper- iences put together that really made my trip enjoy- able, said Dammkoehler. i n the heat of the summer Van Halen has record sellouts Summertime.

I play golf, and one day I hope to be a pro, said Hefner. Melissa C-roves, senior, also worked at a job she en- joyed. She spent june 4-18, in Tampa, Fla. working at the Armenian Animal Hospital. I learned a lot, said Groves. Working with the animals helped me to decide to become a vet - animals never complain, unlike peo- ple.
