Heads I stepped off a UA Tran¬ sit bus, crossed in front of the bus while it waited for the other exiting students, and was hit by a car that was passing the bus in the other lane. I really thought it was safe to cross in front of the bus when it was waiting for the pas¬ sengers to unload and exit. I learned the hard way. In fact, the guy who hit me didn’t even get a ticket because it’s legal to pass on Leverett Street. I guess it’s legal to mow pedestrians down like squir¬ rels as well. The accident rear¬ ranged my whole life. SHELLEY STEELE I think evaluating teachers in the middle of the se¬ mester is necessary if we are pay¬ ing for our education. We have a right to know what we are getting for our money. The University should provide teacher evalution records, so students could look up teachers before they sign up to take their classes. The system now doesn’t help students, there’s no use in the teacher evalutions. MIKE HORTON I don’t know if I am get- ting the education I’m paying for. For what the students pay for tui¬ tion, it shouldn’t cost as much as it does. WILLIAM LINEBERRY . When Ken Hatfield resigned as the top Hog, the University took only 24 hours to find Jack Crowe to replace him. M. HORTON PHOTO Hmm

ALL ABOARD. With 6,600 parking slots and 12,000 registered vehicles, the University’s transit system is suppose to relieve some of the parking problems on campus. Although students complained about the University’s parking situation, officials claimed that every day there were 500 vacant spaces along Razorback Road. STAFF PHOTO BOOK SCANDAL? When students purchase books at the beginning of the semester, the thought of being ripped off doesn’t cross their minds. Although reality hits when they sell the books back for a fraction of the original price. D.

THE NIGHT OF REDEYE ' 90, STUDENTS TRANSFORMED INTO MOVIE STARS AND EXPERIENCED A NIGHT OF edeye, the premiere night of Hollywood on the Hill, gave students the chance to become stars for a night. As the red carpet was rolled out, students experienced champagne wishes and caviar dreams. BY LIZ VANZANT The red carpet was rolled out- The crowd was lined up. There were lights, cameras and plenty of action. The occasion was ‘‘Hollywood on the Hill,” the theme for Redeye ’90. Redeye provided a chance for each of the 3,000 people attending the premiere event to “be a star.” Kelly Sullens did just that winning $ 150 in the Look-Alike contest dressed as Marilyn Monroe. As search lights spanned the Fayetteville sky, inside the Ar¬ kansas Union students sang songs at the Star Trax recording booth providing silent concerts to the onlookers. People were immortalized on photo buttons and by caricaturist Ray Cook, on his seventh visit to Redeye. Potential writers autographed the Graffiti Wall, as others had Apple computer portraits made by the Computer Store employees. The Bob Hope Classic Miniature Golf Tournament brought out the “pros” to play in its sudden death playoffs and netted three winners who received cash prizes: William B. James, first; Tim Jones, second and James Stacy Cox, third. As the action was going on, students circulated to the checkpoints to get a card stamped for a chance to win a trip to Los Angles for two. Dan Dowdy won a ticket to the real Hollywood. Hypnotist Tom DeLuca brought his unique Imaginism to campus and for the second year had a standing-room only crowd for both of his appearances. Imaginism is a heightened state of awareness where volunteers participate in a blend of fantasy and the power of suggestion. DeLuca had his victims dancing, drawing, acting like children and talking like creatures from unknown planets. “There’s nothing magic to it, it’s all tricks,” DeLuca said. Juggler Mark Nizer dazzled the crowd with tricks using a bowling ball, a blow torch and an electric knife. Students who really lived out the meaning of Redeye got to see Polygram recording artists, the Rainmakers . The four-man band previously known in the Fayetteville area as Steve, Bob and Rich rocked the Ballroom until 2:30 a.m.. Students said they enjoyed being in “Hollywood” as they got to act and play out some of their fantasies. Sophomore Joe Wilson enjoyed the golf the most. “Redeye was a great place to be,” he said. Junior Steven Fletcher seemed pleased with the event, also. “I thought the hypnotist was great and the miniature golf tournament was a great idea too. Redeye was well organized,” Fletcher said. • 22 Student Life
