Four live bands kept the 82 dancers boogying 45 minutes out of every hour. A new attraction this year was video music made possible through Stanal Sound of Kearney, who donated the equipment and tapes. Other sponsors included Burger King, Pizza Hut, ARA Food Service and Budweiser, who helped keep the hungry participants happy over the 30 hours.

 Bike Bowl: sometimes nature just won't cooperate Question: What could be worse than rain on a parade? Answer: Winds at the Bike Bowl. And the Bike Bowl blow-out came to KSC not once, but twice. The first at tempt at holding the annual event was postponed because of wind and rainy weather. A week things were not much better. Wind gusts of up to 50 miles per hour were reported in the area before the bicycle race started. When wind flipped over a set of bleachers about 45 minutes before start time, cancellation seemed a surety. “After the bleachers went, It was ob- vious to all of us that we should cancel the race said Bike Bowl Chairman Brian Sheldon, in an interview with the Antelope. Mot only hours of practice time was lost by race winner hopefuls (16 teams had registered for the bike race), but money was lost too. Estimates are that at least $200 was spent on printing costs for brochures, advertising and rent of the Nebraska Safety Center. But all was not lost. Several indoor ac- tivities were not hampered by weather. Reigning over the activities were Doug McBride and Lynn Weaven, Peddlin' Pete and Petunia for 1984. Seven teams entered the Moddle Nozzle Mania con- test sponsored by a local pizza parlor. Beta Sigma Psi team 1 won the contest to see how fast a three-member team could eat five pounds of spaghetti. A Bike Bowl theme also dominated an ARA — sponsored Indoor barbeque. The Bike Bowl dance, sponsored by the Student Activities Council, featured music by the Blue River band of Lincoln. 28 s.
