X ul -43-:H YQ ,qi 3 iv' , '9vu il il What makes a college? Is it the classes? The buildings, roads, or land? Those things make a campus. What makes a college is the living, breathing humans that are known as faculty, students, staff, and administra- tion. Without these people, a college would be a ghost campus. What makes Northwest? The pride we feel. Why does a band member blow his horn so hard that he gets dizzy? Why do students at a sporting event scream until they are hoarse? Why does a professor try to educate a student? Why is it that when Northwest is mentioned, heads turn? All of these phenomena are due to one thing, pride. We at Northwest have every reason to be proud. That's why others try to be just like us. Some say Northwest struts like a peacock showing its feathers. That may be true, but maybe we have earned the right to do so.

V ll eyes searched for the ap- proaching plane. The drone of the engines could be heard, yet nothing could be seen. Suddenly it was sighted. One by one, everyone found the plane in the afternoon sky. As the crowd watched, three objects leaped from the plane and hurtled toward the earth. All breathing stopped as Skydiv- ing Memphis opened each of their parachutes and glided toward Ranger Field. There were cheers as jim Gehringer delivered the game ball to the team captain. That was the exciting preamble to our Homecoming game, but Carnival '85 had begun on Monday when Kelly Buell was crowned Homecoming Queen, and her court was presented. A week of festivities were all packaged in Ranger Week. Concerts, bands, Carnivals, picnics, and a victory over Mississippi Delta were the crowning glories of our Queen's reign. Carnival '85 was lauded as the best homecoming celebration in NWIC history.
