Who Cares ? For Every Event, Group, or Cause Somebody Cares We iiave to goito the game, everyone ' s gonna be there. or Yeah, I ' m going to Cow Palace Saturday night, just about everybody in the class is coming. — w ell, that ' s the way it was several years ago. But MUS has changed. Cheering at the games was once almost the only way to express our concern for the school. But in 1974, we could show our concern in a variety of ways. Relatively new sports like soccer, baseball, and wrestling allowed almost anyone to play a sport. Three plays a year given by the Dramatics Department gave many of us a chance to appear on stage if we wished. If we wanted to learn how to shoot pictures, the Photography Club would teach us. To qualify for a ham radio Ucense, we sought out the MUSARC for help. In the exciting area of TV work and broadcasting, the TV Crew worked out of their studio in the Library. With the new computer course, we were able to learn the mechanics of controlling an electronic brain. Along with these new areas were the older ones of six established sports, three publications. Student Council, and a multitude of clubs. Truly, Diversity had come to MUS. 1974 was a year for somebody to care in every group, event, or cause. Working carefully, Steve Barton spends long hours on his Art Project.

Who Cares ? A)Everybody B)Somebody C)Anybody? Panic after a test, Boredom during some Friday-morning chapels, Disappointment after some games — what was our reaction to these situations? Who Cares? This expression of disappointment, boredom, panic, apathy, and a multitude of other feelings was a phrase that we heard every day in the locker room, the lounge, the classrooms, and the halls. And with the deterioration of the tradiational Buzzard spirit and continuation of the traditional Senior Slump; the more-than-usual losses of the football team, and the fewer than usual issues of the newspaper, some of us began to wonder if many people really did care. But there was nothing to really worry about. For though not everyone cared about all of his classes or the records of our athletic teams, we all cared about the school. Col. Lynn, the faculty, the students, and the courses combined to form both an experience and a community. And though concern for the MUS community was expressed in many different ways, we all cared about MUS and the people who made it up. 1974 was a year for everybody to care about the MUS community. Coach Lawson and Dr. Robinson console Charles Stockley after his career-ending injury received in the Covington game.
