Breakout '88 pring Breakout events were held the week of May 2. Breakout?! YES!! Spring?! Well, maybe not unless you consider the May showers we got! But the damp weather didn't dampen spirits any, as was evident in the crowd at all events. To get things started, there was a volleyball tournament for those who wanted to get a team together to show off their skill in such an athletic endeavor. Tuesday brought the real kick-off of the Breakout events with the indispensable Johnny Holm and his band!! To be in the crowd meant more than listening to great music, it meant becoming ac- tive and working up a real sweat! There was the bunny- hop, the hokey-pokey, and the bathroom-stuff. An MSU record was set as 107 students crammed into the men's restroom. Johnny found some star voices in the crowd. Kevin Bierman delighted the au- dience with his vast vocal range-from the heights of Tip-toe Through the Tulips to the depths of Umbapa- Umbapa, Mou Mou from Elvira. The Battle of the Bands Con- test turned out be a smash hit. Five area bands participated in the contest. The Crew, from the Minot AFB, came out the winner. Between band performances we had the most exciting per- formances of all-the spec- tacular Sprlnglymplcs! Teams participated in various events. competing for points ln each. At the end, the team with the most points was pronounced the winner receiving SIOO. The events consisted of jello- wrestling, the Beaverburger distance throw through the Ocellus, an air mattress race, and an impersonation contest. Four teams participated in the events. All of them generated laughs and Spring Breakout memories and all were good sports in the bloody battle of competition for SlOO, which was captured by a team con- sisting of Julie Undlin, Carmel Welnrauch, Don Sherren and Troy Knudsvig. There was another competi- tion for money at the We Can Make You Laugh Comedy Show, which took place dur- ing an ice-cream social given by the SA. The deal was, We can make you laugh or you'd be paid S25 cash. Several names were drawn by the comedy team to be victims to ascend the stairs onto the stage to be tormented to laughter in front of everyone. Two students were able to meet the challenge, walking away with S25 each. Arlyn Benson was the first and said. Those guys were tough! I wanted to laugh. To resist, he merely looked them straight in the eye. Sandon Varty was the second straight-faced con- testant. As a matter of fact, he generated his own laughs from the crowd when the com- edians asked what he was thinking about to keep from laughing: Dead puppies! He i?

Saturday May 7 ended the week of Spring Breakout '88, now that spring weather with warmth and sunshine had returned! A softball tourna- ment to tie up the week was held with the student, faculty, and area media teams testing their athletic endurance after a week of breaking out! There were dances throughout the week, but by far the biggest was the grand finale by Nixon Pupils. Angy Edison
