The Rat was a lot quieter than usual the evening of February 28. It was the last episode of the 1 1 year series M A S H, and all were invit- ed to the farewell party. The M A S H Bash attracted a large crowd to the Rat. Students sat drinks in hand and watched as their favorite zany characters said good- bye. At one point during the night, the crowd raised their glasses in toast to the 4077th, and very few people escaped without shedding a tear or two. The final episode of the series practically shut down the campus as people rushed home from meetings, rearranged schedules, and called in sick to work. It was worth it; afterall, many of us grew up with Hawkeye, Klinger and the gang. The series is over, but not forgot- ten. It will live on in its reruns, and someday when someone asks, What was Hawkeye ' s real name anyway? , we will smile at the fond memory of a television character who became a friend. 26 M A S H Bash

Marshall Crenshaw Marshall Crenshaw played to a sparsely filled Esby in September. The Red Rockers opened for Crenshaw, focusing on the better songs from their Columbia release, Good as Gold. They rocked the audience with Fanfare for Metropolis, Dreams Fade Away, and their MTV hit China. It was a brief 45 minute set, but the crowd, small as it was, loved it. Cynical Girl, Someday, Some- way, Whenever You ' re on My Mind, and There She Goes with Another Guy, were some of the more popular Crenshaw tunes. The audience clapped and cheered, but lacked the energy that is a vital element to an entertainer ' s performance and an audience ' s en- joyment. Despite the lack of people, the concert left the crowd humming the tunes they knew and liked best. The overall reaction and participation were a disappointment to all those in SAB who worked so hard to put the concert together. Marshall Crenshaw 25

Campus Clean-Up This year ' s Campus Clean-Up served two purposes: to clean the campus and to make a point. Sponsored by the Student Govern- ment Association (SGA), the Biol- ogy Club and the Bureau of Greek Organizations (BOGO), the clean- up is a campus wide event meant to beautify our campus — to rid it of empty beer bottles, cigarette packs, and the like. While three organizations sponsor this worthwhile event, it seems that this year only 2 members of the biol- ogy club and 3 members of SGA took part. Thirteen Greek organizations, representing over 100 people, scanned the campus for trash, filling bags and shopping carts with debris that would otherwise have remained where it was. That is the clean up part. It so happens, however, that at the same time, the Greeks and the administra- tion were head-to-head on new poli- cies concerning pledging. Thus the making a point part. After the trash was collected and neatly contained, the Greeks marched to the front of Bole Admin- istration building chanting Don ' t dump on the Greeks. They proceed- ed to dump the trash on the lawn . . . where it stayed until maintenance carted it away. We put it there to show them (ad- ministration) how much we do, said Donna Campo, president of BOGO. And so Campus Clean-Up day ended . . . the campus was clean and the Greeks proved their point.
