That is the word most associated with Shawn Mahoney, senior from Louisville. Every aspect of Shawn's life has been adventurous in some way since he was younger. But the time he has spent at Morehead has perhaps exemplified the variety of ventures in which Shawn has been involved. A Geology major with a minor in Reserve Officer's Training Corps, Shawn has also been a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, former field trip coordinator for the geology club, former varsity soccer player, and former exchange student to Austria. Mahoney said he is uan avid camper and back-packer. My friend Edwin Bickel and I are outdoor adventurers and cave spelunkers. Risk playing and hackey-sack are favorite sportsihob- bies for Mahoney as well as being a connoisseur of fine Chinese food, beer, and edible underwear. Mahoney plans to be commissioned in May and will have a career in the army.

He laughs easily and admits that holding center stage isnlt what he wants to do. ill like composing music best, he said. HHearing other groups play my music and playing it myself is the ultimate. Hayden plays the guitar and is mostly self-taught, not begin- ning lessons until he came to MSU four years ago. He chose this university because it offered study in jazz this main interesti and a scholarship. Since then, he has played in several bands traveling from Louisville to Miami, Buffalo, Dayton, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Washington DC.

Hayden, along with some friends, composed a song about President Reinhard to a rag-time rhythm. time on the radio. It was just a fun, impromptu thing. A bunch of my friends and l were sitting around and someone came in and told us about the speech President Reinhard was giving at the gym about it being a whole new ballgame. So, I started messing around on the piano, throwing some lyrics together. My friends said, llMake it more reggae, and pretty soon we had a song. More recently, his music is being used by a friend, Greg Lesley, who plans to make some basement videos for MTV. Hayden also plans to join with Jay Flippen to form a jazzhock band. Flippen, who plays piano, is a professor at MSG. Hayden says he is glad he decided to come to MSU. t'Overall, I dont regret it. The instructors have all been great. A couple of years ago the Music Department got some computers, a keyboard, and a drum machine, all of which are where music is at now, he said. uSo, we are keeping up with the world.
