The cheerleaders then got the pep rally started with some cheers as the anticipation mounted.

Alice Meyers, a sophomore from Tusca- loosa, said, The spirit was surprising compared to past participation at pep rallies. Homecoming week came to a fantastic climax on Saturday as the Bulldogs took on the Anderson Ravens in football, and stu- dents prepared for the first ever Homecoming Ball. ln the football game, An- derson was defeated 34-7 as the Bulldogs went on to win their second game of the year.

COCK Survivor made its first performance in the South on Leslie S. Wright concert hall stage. Many students were surprised that a band as popular as Survivor had been scheduled to perform. Student Government Presi- dent, Todd Crider said, The group's agents had been 'wanting to tour the South' and when they were ap- proached, they accepted. Although the concert hall was not full on that Tuesday night in February, an ex- cellent performance was given by Survivor. When lead singer Jimmy Jameson led the band on stage, he brought with him an energy that swept the crowd to its feet and kept them there. With its distinct sound Survivor dynamically per- formed hit after hit including High On You, The Search ls Over, Eye Of The Tiger and Is This Love. In a pre-concert interview with lead singer Jimmy Jameson, he answered some of the Entre Nous' questions. EN What brings Survivor to the South tonight? JJ Well, we had a choice, Alabama and your campus or California and the Gram- mys. We're not winning anything tonight, so why go to the Grammys? EN What has Survivor been doing just prior to beginning this tour? JJ We've recently re- leased our newest album, When Seconds Count, and we've just returned from touring Japan. EN What kind of response did the band get overseas? JJ lt was unbelievable. We headlined to sold-out crowds. The amazing thing was that most of them couldn't speak English, but they had learned the words to our songs so they could sing along during the show. Japanese kids are really into American music. EN Let's back up to 1982 and a night the band did want to attend the Grammys. JJ Yes, '82 was our ground-breaking year. We were fortunate enough to be chosen by Sylvester Stallone to sing the title song for eyboard player, Jim Peterik, plays the melody during the concert held in Leslie S. Wright concert hall. Rocky Ill Eye of the Tiger, and it proved the best selling single of that year. We won the Grammy for Best Rock Vocal and the Oscar for Best Song. EN Survivor has had several successful releases since Eye Of The Tiger. What's your favorite? JJ I don't know that l have a favorite song, but Can't Hold Back is my favorite video. EN Why? JJ lt was the most fun for all of us. Everyone dressed up like people of various professions and we shot the video on a train. Man, l could tell you some stories about that experience ...but not on the record. EN l can imagine! Now that you're here, at a Southern Baptist campus, will you restrict or change your stage performance in any way? JJ No. We don't have to be vulgar and absurd to get attention on stage. Our music isn't of that nature. lt speaks for itself and our show doesn't change ac- cording to who we are per- forming for. EN Lately there have been a lot of rock groups spon- sored spots discouraging drug and alcohol use. Has Survivor been approached to help these type projects? JJ Yes. We haven't done any for Rock Against Drugs yet, but we've done several 'don't drink and drive' spots. EN ls this something the band really believes in, or is it an image builder? JJ lf we didn't believe in it, we wouldn't do a spot for it. The concert was opened by Spoons, a Canadian rock group that did not please the crowd at first. Once the group played its one American release, Taking Prisoners Over Boarders, the crowd came to attention. The next attention-getter was somewhat of a surprise to everyone, including the Spoons. Members of the Survivor road creww storm- ed the stage in pink bunny suits. It was Survivor's way of telling the Spoons good-bye. The concert end- ed their touring partnership. jj .Annrmi-y Bryan Mizzell - j
