I Sidewalk Circus It was eleven years ago that Nick Weber made his first perfor- mance, alone on a street corner in San Jose, California. Now Weber is the ringmaster and founder of the Royal Lichtenstein Quarter Ring Sidewalk Circus. The Lichtenstein Circus, consisting of Weber and four others, gave a lunchtime performance on the Quad. Jens Larson, an award-winning gymnast from Dartmouth, New Jersey, features in the aerial Roman Rings. Robert Lee, from the New York School of Circus Acts, performs the foot balancing. Nanci Ole- sen, from Minneapolis, is an actress and dancer; Stephen De Saulniers pantomimes and performs several magical acts. The circus performs in forty states and gives 225 performances in a period of just thirty-two weeks. They travel a thousand miles a week. Weber’s purpose for the circus is to perform close to the audi- ence. Therefore, keeping alive is never a problem since the audience is so close.

Fv Dr. John’s Frisbee Show Dr. John’s world champion frisbee disco show performed on the quad for the MC students. Their performance included throwing a frisbee through a human tunnel, catching a frisbee in the air under the legs, and upside down. They also have dogs that can catch a frisbee in mid-air.

Christmas To give the students a chance to take a break from studying for exams and meanwhile to add to everyone’s Christmas spirit, the SBA sponsored a Yuletide program on the Wednesday before fin- als in the TV lounge. About 250 students, faculty, and staff enjoyed the hot chocolate, and donuts as the BSU choir sang and Biology profes- sor Dr. Ted Snazelle read the story of Jesus’ birth. A beautiful tree that took the place of the missing TV set and Christmas music provided by WHJT ra- dio added much to the evening. 23
