Rusty McKnight Half-time festivities are enhanced by night games. s Scott Field lights up so do the students. ning by the package store (because it vould be closed by the time the game snded and who would want to be caught A ithout a Bottle during and after the Same). Though these are just observa- tions, it seems plausible that the increase in rowdiness at these night games was jue to these games ' time-change (com- bined with the anticipation of an S.E.C. ti- tle, etc.)- Well, we ' ll see if this coming fall m bring the hope of a slightly improved season, the convenience of a complete Scott Field, and a full-scale cowbell assault.

' ■ ? % % - ,- €.:■■¥■ l tiS- Tina TURNER November 14, 1985, that was the night MSU was treated to the outstanding and hot talents of Tina Turner. To start the night off on the right foot, Mr. Mister fired the audience up with songs from their cur- rent album, Welcome to the Real World. The crowd showed their greatest approval when the group sang Broken Wings, their first top ten hit. After thirty minutes of waiting, Tina finally came out. She started out with Show Some Respect which she had no problem gaining from the audience. Without stopping for breath, Tina sang a few more of her hits from past and pres- ent albums. Then she performed a long version of Better Be Good to Me with Kenny Moore, her pianist and one of her vocalists. Halfway through it, Tina left for a costume change leaving Kenny to enter- tain the audience on his own. Tina steamed back onstage, and raised some temperatures in the audience as she sizzled through Private Dancer. Then she performed two hits from her Mad Max movie. However, she received her greatest applause with What ' s Love Got to Do With It, her first comeback solo hit after her 1981 divorce with Ike. Her last song was Proud Mary, but when the au- dience would not leave, Tina and her band came out for an encore of other artists ' hits like ZZ Top ' s Legs and Mick dag- ger ' s Lonely at the Top. Then she end- ed with her version of Springsteen ' s Dancing in the Dark. She left the whole crowd on its feet cheering and begging for more, but satisfied. Tina ' s comeback proves that you can ' t keep a good thing down for long. Jackie Chin iA : ' fir iK Tina Turner earned the respect of ail her fans with her sell-out performance at State.
