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. His “down-home sense of humor and singing ability kept the audience well entertained. The intimate sized crowd thoroughly enjoyed his performance. — Shelly Buxton Thomas Edison reincarnated? No, it’s historian Pat Hingle. F. Lee Bailey did his best to answer questions during the press conference. Singer Dave Wopat performing on stage. CAMPUS COLLAGE 17

Law and music combine well Second semester offered informa- tion and entertainment to Kearney State collegiates. A small audience gathered at the Recital Hall in mid-February to watch the CAC-sponsored presentation of “Violence in Sports.” This event fea- tured film clips of sports brutality along with a lecture by attorney Richard Hor- row. Horrow discussed the work he has done in trying to pass legislation against violence in professional sports. The first performance of the Spot- light Concert Series was in February and featured the veteran string musi- cian Kurt Van Sickle. Although he has worked with several nationally known stars, Van Sickle chose to go solo at KSC. A 12-string guitarist, Van Sickle plays sitar classical guitar, black blues, bluegrass and jazz. The instrumental- ist’s delightful show included singing and accompanying himself on the har- monica. Nancy Hill, another performer in the series, was on campus in March. Her music could be termed “contemporary folk,” a blend of country and tradition- al folk music. Nancy's rich voice and skilled guitar accompaniment had the ability to make her audience feel the music and, perhaps, forget where they were. — JoAnn Hahn, Vickie Phelps, Becky Phelps Nancy Hill CAMPUS COLLAGE 19
