Spring break: 'More-head'ing SOUTH Bright-eyed and bubbly, many MSU students left the gloomy skies of Morehead, greatly anticipating the warm sands of Daytona Beach. Regretfully there wasn't much fun in the sun' for those expecting a spring break tan. The weather at Daytona peaked in the 70's and a couple of days it dropped to 59. nlt was really cold. It was hard to do anything in the daytime, said Trent James, a Business Management major. ltl got sick and stayed sick the whole time. I wish I would have gone somewhere else. Kim Easterling, a Public Relations major, said, nI had a blast even though the weather was nasty. The ocean may have been cold, but I was in the hot tub. The cold weather did put a damper on the daytime beach activi- ties, but the night clubs saved the day, by offering some linsidet excitement. llEven though there was no fun in the sun, the night life made up for it, said Michelle Wilson, a Clothing and Textiles ma- jor. Spring Break '87 in Day- tona gave some unex- pected chills, forcing stu- dents to make the best of it. Most did agree that they would try something different next year. Scott Pack, a Theta Chi, said, lll didnt have as good of a time as I thought I would. I'll prob- ably go to Lauderdale next year, definitely not Daytona. Some were lucky enough to decide on Lau- derdale this year, where they had a better time than most of those in Daytona. What can you expect when 11 college guys all from the same dorm, save money, rent a van, and hit the beach of Fort Lauderdale? A fun, comical, yet more unforgettable Spring Break 87. This is the second annual trip for the guys who live in Cooper 5A UNDRA STIVERS 46 WHILE most students went south for spring break, there were a few who tra velled to the west coast for a week. Unfortunately, there were cloudy skies on that coast too. PHOTO BY Hall. Only seven went last year, but this year in addition to the Ford Aerostar van that was rented, two cars followed behind. xlThe trip down was the best part, said Mike lDigger' Newman. lllt was fun trying to keep up with the other two cars. In only 17 hours the trip was completed, counting all the stops in between. One memorable stop was in Georgia, where the guys picked up four new friends from Indiana State. They were heading to Lauderdale too, and followed the guys the rest of the way down. Even more conveniently, the new friends were female! The guys stayed at Shell Motel, four in one room, and seven in another. Their days consisted of sleeping late and then hitting the beach. llWeid get up around 11:00 and go to the beach, said Ron Whisman, a Robotics major from Stanton. Ron added, lll couldn't get any sun. The weather was in the upper 70s too. I think spring break should be a week later, or another week longer. The afternoons were great for lying out in the sun and relaxing. The owner of the motel let the guys grill out under a small hut. Two nights they grilled out corn on the cob and 40 hamburgers with their friends from Canada. Yet some looked forward to the later hours of the day. xtl had more fun after the sun went down, said Bryon Souder, a PR major from Ripley, OH. The nights were spent walking the strip and checking out all the differ- ent people. lSummers' was the hang out for dancing and . . . anything else one enjoyed. All agreed it was a fun and relaxing trip, plus the Cooper Hall residents are looking forward to Spring Break '88 in Lauderdale. Tim Pennix, from West Liberty, wrapped it up by saying, nlt was one of the best times in my life . . . and that's the truth. BY STACY HENDERSON

are the motivating Surroundings force for artist 1'! don't want to be eighty years old, look- ing back and saying that I could have been a great artist. - leffrey Anderson Why not pursue your elusive butterfly? Moreheadis Art Department encouraged graduate student Jeffrey Anderson to pur- sue his. Prompted by Tom Sternal, the De- partment Chairperson of Art, Jeffrey en- rolled as a graduate student at MSU, leaving a job that held potential earnings of $40,000 a year. Morehead offered Jeffrey the rustic sur- roundings that proved to be motivation for his creations. His abstract pieces of sculp- ture, which are predominantly crafted from wood, found a natural habitat in the rural atmosphere of MSU. Jeffrey found several positive aspects when he enrolled in the Art Department. The most impressive is the diversity of the faculty. xil think it is really beneficial to my education to be exposed to so many differ- ent viewpoints on art. The professors are really sincere, too. They enjoy their jobs and as a result are concerned about me and Tit ART CAN BE enjoyed by students from all fields as a pastime or a hobby.

Graduation is on Larryis mind, a senior art major from Galli- polis, Ohio. Finding a job in todayis com- petitive job market can be nerve-racking, but Larry is confident that the Art Depart- ment has prepared him in his field. xxi have an emphasis in print-making, and Robert Franzini, my advisor, has spent a lot of time with me individually. I think that is really important in art, he continued. iilf you go to a major university and you're just one of three-hundred students, its really hard to get individual attention. Here, different pro- fessors work with you and learn your style to help you develop it.'i Besides the one-on-one instruction, Larry cites presentations and classroom instruc- tion by visiting artists as a positive aspect of the department.
