Bring On Zhe Show rhe University of Arizona is very well known. In fact, it is so well known that performers from all over are bound to come to it sooner or later This year was no exception. The university hosted quite a few entertainers, among them Debbie Gibson, Whitesnake, Bad En- glish, and the Bonedaddy ' s, to name a few. There were also stand up comedians and comediennes, such as Bill Cosby, Jay Leno, and Carol Liefer Even Joe Clark, the infamous principal featured in the movie Lean On Me, came by to talk. With the number of performers coming through the univer- sity on a regular basis, everyone was bound to see someone famous or at least close to it by the end of the year Music wasn ' t the only area which drew the enter- tainers, but it was one of the easiest ways to see someone with national or even worldwide acclaim. The Stadium was just one place in the vicinity of the university where the artists could come with their songs and perforr Almost any speaker was welcomed. Joe Clark was the recipient of an attentive audience, and he received a standing ovation from a packed house after his appearance at the university. Not to be forgotten were the special few who made us laugh. Carol Liefer, Jay Leno, and Bill Cosby all stopped by for a few brief hours that those who attended the performances won ' t soon forget. Whether it be a comedian, a singer, or simply a speaker, all were welcome at the university. • Wendy Ursell 188 STUDENT LIFE

Being so noticeable as to cause Jeff Smith to write an editorial mention- ing them. These vanity plates , as they were called by the general public, were not found on any Gremlin or Duster, they were found on shiny BMWs(BEEMERS) and new Mazda Miatas. Who owns them or what they were on was not as important as the messages that they relayed. Who could forget NANA 4? This proud grandmother of four found a way to advertise her worth through the simple little piece of tin found on the front of her car. HOT ROD only left to the imagination who the plate was talking about; the car or the owner?!? Wherever one looked, personalized license plates were found everywhere. The next fad? Only time will tell. • Robert Castrillo The car itself isn ' t the This license plate gives only knock out (K-O) new meaning to the this BMW possesses, word Patamobile .
