TE —Tim Broekema TION wo tort SUCCESS... Western wasn't the only place that enjoyed some successes this year. The state scored a large financial success after Gov. Martha Layne Collins persuaded the Toyota company to build their new auto plant in Scott County near Lexing- ton. It was expected to be a large supplier of jobs, as well as helping at- tract other businesses to Kentucky. As for the see Bowling Green area, the Corvette Plant sales expanded after business slowed in expectation of the new line of con- vertibles. Corvette was nationally rated as the one of the best sportscars in the world. And business was expanded as planners developed a new mall and pos- sibly a galleria. Bowling Green enjoyed state-wide at- tention as it hosted the Sweet Sixteen Girls’ Basketball Tournament, which drew a large crowd of fans to Western. AS THE SUN begins to set, a horse trots across the field at the university farm. The Agriculture Exposition Center, located on the 900-acre farm, was the site of horse shows and rodeos. BETH WILLIAMS, a Henderson sophomore, Janet Cleckner, a Nashville junior, and Karla Weiss, a Glasgow sophomore, make a homecoming sign. The sign was welcoming alumnae to KD house. 1S Opening

TRADITION 1. Tart Escape... Many used a wide range of media to escape. Some found escape through going to movies like the “Color Purple” or “Out of Africa.” Others found light-hearted movies like “Back to the Future,” and “Prizzi's Honor’ more entertaining. Strides in technology made quality sound more easily accessible. Compact discs and disc play- ers could reproduce music so frealisti- cally that warnings were placed on the disc for Tschaikov- sky’s “1812 Over- ture,” cautioning listeners that the cannon fire in the piece could blow out their speakers. Walkmans — al- lowed students to make walking a little more pleasant by enabling them to take their music with them. Whatever the means of escape, students found it. —Robert Pope ON THE STAGE in Garrett Ballroom, Angie Norcia, an Owensboro junior, competes in Kappa Delta Washboard. The group’s show featured the music from “Oklahoma.” ON THE LAWN near Grise Hall, Diane Daugherty, a Lexington freshman, has lunch with her boyfriend, Charlton Young, a University of Tennessee freshman. He bought the picnic basket for her birthday. 14 Opening
