Sports Arkansas Hogs defeat TU Hurricane 18-9 . . . The loyal TU fans who were coura- geous enough to sit through the rain had to walk away from Fayetteville Sept. 22 not only soaked but also disap- pointed by Arkansas' 18-9 victory. The skies were far from golden for the Hur- ricane and Razorbacks alike, but the Hogs managed to make their own brand of sunshine by creating havoc for Tulsa's offense. TU fullback Rodney Young's 44- yard touchdown run in the second quar- ter was enough to tie the game 6-6 early on, but Tulsa's only other scoring op- portunity was a third-quarter field goal. A great defensive effort by Arkansas which included a crucial fumble recov- ery and an important interception in the fourth quarter prevented a soaked Tul- sa from narrowing the scoring gap any further. So for the eighth straight year, the Arkansas Razorbacks took home all the bacon in Fayetteville. - Carol Krapfi Far left: A cleverly concealed Walkman helps band member Brian Porter endure the humiliat- ing defeat.

can still remember it. It was a sunny day in April and I was sitting in the dorm lounge trying to catch up on some lost study time before finals start- ed. That's when I heard it. Barely audi- ble at first, it gradually increased in intensity until it became a deafening roar. The sound of hysterical laughter pervaded the quiet as the girls down the hall stumbled in from a party accompa- nied by a den of hungry fraternity bears. Hey, keep it down! I yelled, angry that they had disrupted my concentra- tion. I'm trying to studylu Study'?', they replied in unison, ob- viously surprised that I could even con- sider such a thing. 'fWhat do you want to do that for? It's spring -time to get outside, party, enjoy lifef' I had to admit that they were right. The whole, campus was alive with the spirit and activity, but there I was, sit- ting inside the stuffy dorm missing it all. At the moment I decided to take their advice. I got out and experienced for myself the excitement that was hap- pening on campus. And I'm glad I did too - I sure would have missed out on a lot of good times if I hadn't . . . First, there was Springfest which had a lot to offer in the way of fun. The spirit, as we all gathered to watch a VW Rabbit crash to the 'x ground. The Springfest lg theme, Jazz and Magic was carried out in all Y' the activities - an incredible jazz QQ rabbit drop kicked off the rowdy Q80 396 bzpfoz' 3? x55 sz' so fb so oak' Nogocof Q O S-4s e e Q, 6 6 Q9 SO 29 o 59 fa- Q, 'N C ?J Q, 'Z7 N fo xo 5 me 500 Spring group called Trovatori sang and there was a magician to keep us spellbound. Then there was Sigma Chi Derby Week which was a real good time - especially for the girls. The Sigs lead up to the big Derby Day with a week filled with activities like a trampoline jump and beer parties. Derby Day itself was eventful in spite of the rain. The week of excitement ended with a big all-cam- pus party and the illustrious Derby Day dance. For the sports-minded, spring brought intramurals to watch or par- ticipate in, the Lambda Chi softball tournament and non-intramural sports on the U. Of course for some students, the most strenuous f'sport to partici- pate in was sunning. Of course, studying didn't stop com- pletely with the sun and warm weather. Dead week allowed more than enough time for that. Looking back on it all, I'm very glad I got up from my books that day in April. The parties, sports and good times with friends have be- come fond memories for me now. I look for- ward to the spring again this year. - Gail Sutterfield 6 Qu
