Earning While Learning Students Work To Defray Cost Of Tuition Although aid from parents, hometown banks, state and federal agencies help defray some of the costs of an education at Ripon. the College has had to create extra aid packages to help students pay bills and survive the weekend. One of the several ways students can get financial aid through the office of financial aid is by work- ing somewhere on campus. The College has cre- ated on-campus jobs in accordance with state and federal regulations, and need is determined by the director of financial aid. who. for her last year at Ripon. was Betty Billings. Jobs exist in such areas of the campus as the library, commons.-the offices of financial aid. college relations, alumni, development, and the Deans, as well as depart- mental assistant jobs in such majors as History, Chemistry, and Biology. The most well-known stu- dent position is that of the resident assistants, who oversee floors of freshmen and upperclass women, and head and assistant head residents, who are in charge of keeping order in Bartlett and the Quads. Most students enjoy their jobs. It gives them a way of earning extra cash without going off campus, as some students choose to do. And the College tries its best to accomodate as many students as possible.

 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
