Variety caps first semester Historian Pat Hingle came to KSC in November in the form of Thomas Edi- son. The highly informative perfor- mance was held in the Fine Arts The- atre and contained many little known facts about Edison. — JoAnn Hahn The defense attorney, F. Lee Bailey, spoke to an audience of 400 at Cush- ing Coliseum in September. Among the many topics he discussed were criminal profiles, his views on the Patri- cia Hearst case for which he was the defending attorney, and the impor- tance of cash in criminal activity. He said that a plea of guilty but insane should replace the not guilty by reason of insanity plea, which was used in the defense of John Hinkley earlier this year for shooting the President Regan. The hour-long lecture was well-re- ceived by the audience, which was comprised mostly of students. — M. Vickland The talents of Dave Wopat started Homecoming Week ’82 in high style.

Entertainment lightens year The Faculty Senate Artists and Lec- turers Committee sponsored NBC cor- respondent Edwin Newman, who spoke on campus in mid October. Sometimes called the watchdog of the English language, Mr. Newman cited several examples of misuses and bloating of the English language. “Liv- ing survivor,” “strangled to death,” and “affirmatively approved” are just a few offending statements that show how the level of today’s English is de- clining. — Becky Phelps In September Campus Crusade for Christ International brought Andre Kole’s World of Illusion. Andre Kole put on a dazzling performance which was both magical and inspirational. This special appearance was an act that Andre Kole has performed at many campuses around the country. About 400 people bought tickets and attended the performance, which was held in Cushing Coliseum. KSC students enjoyed the many acts of illu- sion ranging from pulling half-dollars from the air, to shrinking Kole’s lovely daughter to a third of her size. Every- one who attended this event clearly enjoyed it. — JoAnn Hahn Steve Gipson broke up the mono- tony of attending class and studying when he appeared on campus in Sep- tember. Gipson’s performance, a com- bination of comedy and cartoon draw- ing, entertained many students in the Memorial Student Union. — Becky Phelps Edwin Newman explaining the misuse of the English language during a press conference.
