The music was hot and just kept getting hotter. The crowd packed in side by side, moved to the beat. The combination of sizzling rhythm and hot funk left the crowd shouting for more as the Dave Wooley Band and Pieces of a Dream performed before a full house at Bacchus in the fall. The Dave Wooley Band, fea- turing several U of D students warmed up the crowd with both funk and jazz alike. The crowd gave the jazz trio, Pieces of a Dream, an equally great wel- come. The band, composed of three college students, and re- cently released their first album with the help of sax player Gro- ver W'ashingmn,jr. From their new album enti- tled Pieces of a Dream, the band played originals such as Warm Weather, featuring singer Barbara Walker. The concert climaxed as the Dave Wooley Band returned to the stage and joined Pieces of a Dream, bringing the crowd to its feet for one final jam. 15

14 Kim Parent and Lisa Johnson, two University of Delaware gradu- ates, made beautiful music together in Bacchus. Throughout the even- ing the duo's selections ranged from folk, rock, blues, reggae, to Motown. Parent and Johnson's fa- vorite song Dog and Butterfly originally by Heart easily became the crowd's favorite. The Young women enjoyed the same tastes in music, that of Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt and Neil Young. During the show, they combined well known songs with their own origi- nal compositions. Parent and John.- son complimented one another with range and harmony, and were a hit with the Bacchus crowd. Par- ent, a psychology major and John- son, an English major set an exam- ple for all Delaware students. - Brondywine Sgond e

One.... What 1s Hen Scratch Over the course of the past year, many news stories dealing with the campus, the community, the nation, and the world have influenced the lives of students here at the Universi- ty. The stories on these pages at- tempt to capture the highlights of these important events. A Dream Come rue . .. It was the wedding of the century. Prince Charles, heir to the throne of England, married Lady Diana Spencer, 20, much to the delight of the public at large. The wed- ding, which was viewed on television by thousands of people around the world, took place on July 29. Lady Diana, nicknamed Shy Di because of her ini- tial evasiveness of the press, captivated the public with her innocence and charm. Her manner of dress and her hairstyle were soon seen to be imitated by top designers and became the fashion modes of the time. Prince Charles, known as the most eligible bachelor before his wedlock, chose the Kindergarden teacher girl-next-door after a quiet on-off relationship. Diana herself comes from an aristo- cratic family that has many connections to the royal family. The fantasy romance and story book marriage was fur- ther enhanced when the pal- ace announced two months after the wedding that the Prince and Princess would soon have a new addition to their family. Hen Scratch 1981-1982 World Leader More People. . .in the News Slain World leaders and people all over were shocked with the news that Anwar Sadat, president of Eygpt, was assasinated while view- ing a military parade in his country in October. Sadat was slain by religious ex- tremists dressed as soldiers on pa- rade as he stood in his viewing stand with many of his comrades. The reasons for his assasination were few but centered mainly on the fact that there was resistance to Sadat within Eygpt, especially con- cerning his decision to participate in the Camp David peace talks. He was a popular and charismat- ic leader who tried to unite the Egyptian people and also initiate peace talks with the Israelis. Both issues often produced tension with- in his country. Sadat will always be admired by Americans as a good leader but mostly as a friend. One Too Many . .. Many people became skeptical of air travel this past year after sev- eral tragic plane crashes made head- lines across the world. The first and most disasterous of the crashes occured on Wednesday, January 20, in Washington D.C,, when an Air Florida 737 jet hit the 14th street bridge shortly after ta- keoff, and plunged into the icy wa- ters of the Potomac River. The bridge had been jammed with rush hour commuters caught in the snow storm. Only a handful of the 74 passengers survived the crash, and there were several commuters killed, when the tops of their cars were sheared off. Other terrifying crashes occured around the world to make passengers extra nervous when boarding their flights. Among the hottest new females to make news headlines were model Brooke Shields, actresses Meryl Streep and Natassia Kinski, and fash- ion designer Norma Kamali ... at bat was Los Angeles Dodgers' pitch- er Fernando Valenzuela, who set new baseball standards for a rookie, and then failed to return to spring train- ing camp . . . tennis ace John McEn- roe established his need to grow up as he once again attacked fans, um- pires and reporters . . . a sad goodbye to actress Natalie Wood, 43, who drowned in a tragic boat accident . . . and it may be on to husband number six for Elizabeth Taylor who broke with husband number five, John Warner, Space Shuttle Takes Off In a one year period, the Space Shuttle Columbia has commuted to space three times. This is the first re- usable space vehicle, and it is sched- uled for one more flight in June 1982. However, the purpose of all four of these first flights is to turn up actual or possible problems, before the shuttle actually goes into regular ser- vice. Regular service should be fund- ed primarily by commercial and in- dustrial users, such as Johnson and Johnson, who plan to develop a new clot-dissolving drug in the weightless atmosphere of space. The 122 ft. long and 57 ft. wide Columbia has a wingspan of 78 ft., which places the craft in a much smaller size class then the Apollo Rockets. However, the cost of the space shuttle program to date has been in excess of $10 Billion. The third, and most problem-free flight was commanded by Marine Colonel Jack R. Lousma, 46, and piloted by Air Force Colonel, Charles G. Fuller- ton, 45. The major objectives of the third flight were to subject the spacecraft to various stresses and to conduct a number of experiements, most of which involve the use of the shuttle's six-jointed, 50 ft. long mechanical arm. Another experiment dealing with the flight of insects in outer- space microgravity was submitted by a Minnesota High school student.
