I think the student safety vans met a real need of the students. — Marc Cromie I think the most unique aspect of the SA is that they try to stay in touch with the stu- dent body and represent them. — Kellie Craxoford Although we face a lot of challenges as a new organization, the SA has accomplished a tremendous amount. - Laura Petrides Far l .fei ' . ,■■ ,d- Near ,.;on speak-.

fjfuests on CamDus K jmMn M §! s s . Charlotte House The University played host to many speakers and guests throughout the year The pro- moter of the guests was the University Union. Every Friday night in the fall, the Union sponsored the Funny Bone Series, in which small name recognition co- medians were invited to the campus to give a few hours of laughter to audiences. Other guests to the campus were contemporary artists that performed live concerts at Legion Field. One group to perform a sold out concert was Athens ' very own B-52 ' s who turned the field into a love shack on one Saturday night. Not only was the con- cert sold out, but there was an estimate that an additional thousand people were stand- ing outside the fence of Le- gion Field. Another contem- porary group to perform on campus was the ever popular De La Soul. Performers of a different kind also appeared on cam- pus. The Atlanta Ballet per- formed at the Fine Arts Audi- torium with some controversy because the mu- sic department was against the ballet company choosing not to use a live orchestra. Dream Girls, the Broadway musical hit, came to the cam- pus during the winter quar- ter to dazzle the audience with the Supremes style of music. Speakers to the campus in- cluded Xiaopo Huang, who spoke on the recent move- ment in China, and former Atlanta mayor, Andrew Young, who spoke during M.L.K. week. The Tony Award winning DREAMGIRLS entertained stu- dents winter quarter. Universitv Union
