 We Had Snow This Year! The weekend of February 15- 17 would have been like many other mid-winter weekends, but activities sponsored by SMAC. a committee of the Student Sen- ate. made sure that it was not. Beginning Friday at 3 p.m.. and continuing through Sunday, stu- dents had several choices to make as to what their itinerary would be. Some students chose to spend Friday afternoon study- ing in the library, others gathered for a Pub Afternoon, still others primed themselves for the air gui- tar semi-finals to be held that night. (More on the competition, plus photos, on pages 24 and 25.) Saturday brought even more choices, as trayball competition took place in the traybowi locat- ed outside Mopes HaH. Other events of the day included a tug- o-war. won by the independent women and the men of Merriman House. After another fine Satur- day night dinner, winners of the Friday semi-finals of the air band competition took the stage once again, but this time during inter- mission of the band Bumpin' Lucky. featuring two Ripon stu- dents. Sherry Thompson and Mario Freidel. Sunday consisted of more trayball. some finishing of quarter barrels not consumed the night before, the cleaning of the gym (right Bruce??), and training the body to settle down for an- other long winter week filled with classes and homework.

 Prince Wins Air Band Let's Go Crazy Rocks Crowd It was a night to remember as several air bands took the stage for what many called the most diverse air guitar show Ripon has seen in quite a while. Bands ranging from “The Sex Pistols to a group singing songs from “The Sound of Music played Friday of Winter Weekend before “The Rocky Horror Picture Show was shown at midnight. Of those bands qualifying for the finals Saturday night were the Alpha Chi Omegas' rendition of “Do. Re. Me and “So Long. Farwell from “The Sound of Music ; another group of students, including Dale and Ruth Schumacher. Geoffrey Seymour, and Calvin Simmons, mimed “Let's Go Crazy from Purple Rain. as well as the movies' theme song, as the band Prince and the Revolution. Dale Schumacher's appearance as Prince was fantastic Not only was his likeness to Prince very good, but his actions on the stage were excel- lent. According to one band mem- ber. they spent hours and hours practicing to get motions down to sine. They went on to win the air guitar competition for Winter Week- end '85. as judged by members of the faculty. Other memorable performances were turned in by Chip Heers. Greg Lewis. Phil Trobaugh, and Mike Lahti who sang songs from “The New Edi- tion . and the sisters of Alpha Xi Del- ta, who dressed in Army uniforms to do songs of the Andrew Sisters. Events. Winter Weekend 25
