Changing Seasons, another movie starring Bo Derek, was shown in Royce for free, and the line stretched all through the quad and down the side of Powell Library. After the showing, sexual counselors, and Seasons actor Michael Brandon conducted a seminar which dealt with changing sexual roles in our society today. Mellow rock was featured in Royce Hall on October 15th, when the group Ambrosia visited UCLA. Noted for their fine harmonies and outstanding vocals, the group mesmerized their audience during that one-night performance. Janss steps is a frequent site for political talks, where students lie on the grass, chuck some frisbees and listen to speakers while working on their tans. Last year, Governor Jerry Brown spoke to students; this year, Andrew Young, former US Representative to the United Nations, was there to speak. Two days later came Halloween, and for the moment, serious issues and reality in general, were Vampires scouted campus, searching for prey (or docile freshmen), while pumpkins the North Campus Facility. The weather was clear and the energy high as werewolves came out of hiding (and dorm rooms) and parties were thrown all over Los Angeles. ASUCLA sponsored a Ha lloween party in Ackerman Union which included a live band, door prizes, a costume contest, and 25% off on Student Store If you were watching the Rocky Horror Picture Show in Hollywood or walking down Blvd., you encountered more than the normal share of Halloween freaks.

A facet of Bruin life that sets UCLA apart from smaller is the variety and caliber of speakers featured on campus. Norman Lear, creator of the series All in the Family, was here giving students a better idea of life after graduation in the world of television. Dr. Jerry Buss, owner of the Los Angeles Lakers and the Forum sports complex, to name only two of his business endeavors, is an American success story in himself. His flamboyant talk about investing in the business world was another of the interesting talks that some students experienced this quarter. Sam Ervin, survivor and in the notorious Watergate scandal, was also in Ackerman this quarter. For entertainment, there is always a concert in Royce, a recital in Schoenberg or a theatrical production in Melnitz. Guitarist Leo Kottke played on campus in Then a week after Kottke ' s performance, the cast from ABC ' s hit show Fridays was here to entertain students. UCLA had a special treat this quarter. As a part of the LA Bicentennial ' s Berlin Los Angeles festival, UCLA was honored to host the Berlin production of the Sinking of the Titanic. Royce Hall was transformed into the ill-fated ship just for the occasion. The opera starts with the boarding of the audience (second class and ends with the evacuation of passengers to nearby life boats. But the quarter was soon over and finals hit. The libraries with frantic, caffeine-wired students. The quarter went so fast, just like it always does... This was the first time the Phillies ever won the World Series in its 98 year history.
