Food, glorious food Myrna spends time cleaning pots and pans. Grabbing a quick bite. John Freehafer enjoys his lunch. The SAGA Saga In the beginning there was SAGA. Saga began at Westminster with few loyal fans. But as time progressed, so did Saga. Saga Food Service had tried spicing up its entrees by additions such as the sandwich bar, Sunday Brunch, and the John Duff Inn. It would be unrealistic to say that Saga ' s popularity has increased, but it would also be unfair to say the changes have gone unnoticed. Much of Saga ' s success is due to Mike Lee ' s committ- ment to provide a successful food service for Westminster students. Robin Andrews, a student manager, said the organization had increased and the attitude among the Saga workers had improved. Strict rules have been placed upon these workers . . . you may be able to blow off your classes once in a while, but if you blow off your Saga duties, you are disowned by your Saga family and your job is terminated. But let ' s face it, Saga is no Iron Bridge! Among the student complaints is atmosphere. But the number one complaint is the food. Reaching the top ten of the Saga Sorries are Mr. Saga ' s unpopular dry double burgers, and sad salad dressing. Some students battle the Saga Sorries with their own Saga Survival Kits consist- ing of mug and salad dressing bottle. Tracy Fletcher is one of the many people who brings her own dressing to meals. When asked why, Tracy simply said, because Saga salad dressing is cucka! Mr. Saga gets credit for his lucious cowboy (chocolate chip) cookies, though. They disappear twenty minutes after the doors open for lunch. Saga has its peaks as well as its valleys. When taking in the entire view of the Saga story, we can only be thankful for the improvements and hope for more in the future. Think positive! The SAGA saga may just have a happy ending.

Footlights and Fantasy The Shows Went On Cries of MSB, MSB! opened the entertainment curtain for this season as a sold-out Orr Auditorium swayed to the Michael Stanley Band ' s popular rock and roll sound. The band, with their jazzy saxa- phones and hit songs like Lover lit up the West- minster audience, and readied them for more great shows to come. The Celebrity Series, as always, was a dependable source of entertainment. The highlight of the series, this year, was the Broadway hit musical Annie , which was presented at the Scottish Rites Cathedral in New Castle. Patrons from Westminster swarmed to the performances and were charmed and bedaz- zled by the enchanting portrayal of an old comic book favorite. In contrast to the glamor of these large-scale pro- ductions, low key, intimate coffeehouses were pre- sented in the bottom floor of the TGB. The informal setting of a stage, a stool and a microphone revealed the tremendous talent of our fellow students. Twice Orr Auditorium hosted a Westminster fa- vorite — the band, Risque, from Pittsburgh. The result of Gnion Board effort. Risque brought many of us to our feet with their upbeat impressions of to- day ' s music. The J. Ceils Band lead singer Peter Wolf stirs up the audience. C. Emer- son Senior Robert Hazen portrays the Elephant Man. C. Emerson The ultimate in concerts for the year occured with the presence of the J. Geils Band on campus the same week that their hit Centerfold topped the Bill board charts. The band ' s lead singer, Peter Wolf was also the cover feature of Rolling Stone maga- zine that month. The trend of star performances continued into the spring as Theatre Westminster presented one of the most popular and moving productions in recent years, The Elephant Man . The leading character John Merrick, was portrayed by senior Theatre ma- jor Robert Hazen. The supporting actress was Shaughn Carothers. Both students were committed to the study of these roles as they comprised their senior projects. The show opened for the first time on March 17, but had to be closed the same night because of a small fire started in some faulty wiring. It reopened later in the term. As an audience we continued to receive excellent entertainment as we called for encore after encore. [B Jennifer Sutter 16 Entertainment
