Entertainers Stop in Bull Country Because of USF's geographical location, being located in the middle of the state, the Sun Dome was host to many entertainers this school year. Many of the concert goers were USF students. Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine, U2, Jimmy Buffett, BIG and Def Leppard were just a few who showed their talents at the Dome. Iron Maiden, Tesla, Guns and Roses and others played at concert halls close to USF, where many students were able to travel to see their favorite performers. The Sun Dome also featured our very own Bulls in competition against other colleges on the basketball court. Professional wres- tlers and boxers also used the Sun Dome as a place to set up their rings and do battle. Many of the individual colleges held lectures with famous guest speakers. The College of Social and Behavioral Science was one such, who sponsored Tip O'Neill with his lecture series about his new book titled, 'Man of the House. Ronny James Dio entertained a large crowd at the Sun Dome. Mr. Universe was a guest on Sportsweekt Tip O'Neill gave a warm embrace to an adoring fan after it his speaking engagement at USF. 16 Entertainers stop at USF

Crescent Hill, Registration Made for Big Hassles The long lines of registration made many students angry and tired. Many were further upset when they reached the computer terminals, only to find that their class or classes were either closed or canceled. At times during registration week, the computers went down all together and students were forced to return the next day. Some students felt that registration was a no win situation. Another no win situation for the 1987-1988 students was the closing of Cres- cent Hill. Crescent Hill was a hilltop park that was located directly in front of the University Center. Despite strong student opposition, Crescent Hill was closed down to make room for a new university building. A two day festival of events was planned to bid farewell to the Hill which included a performance by pop group Cheap Trick. DropiAdd lines during registration week were a grueling experience for both students and staff. . . - ,aJ .4--a--4 to Long lines at the textbook center were a common sight during the first weeks of the semester.
