Uft: The AtUnta Ballet Company came to enter- lain a packed auditorium with their newest dance, Arenaky Dances. I thought that the comedians in the Funny Bone Series were great. They were much fun- nier than most of the people on t.v. I ' ll never understand why they do not get more notoriety. —Dana Reeves I thoroughly en- joyed Andrew Young ' s speech. Each time I hear him speak, 1 am filled with inspiration. — Benjamin Roundtree I was extremely im- pressed with Andrew Young ' s speech, and I feel I benefited greatly from hearing his view- points. —Marc Kennedy L ' nivrrsitv L nmn Far Left: Andrew Young came during Martin Lu- ther King Jr. Week to in- spire students.

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
