The accident involved students Laura McLane driving a Ford Escort and Edwin Johnson, Jr., in a GMC pick up truck. The McLane vehi~le Was heading east and Johnson headmg south when they collided. McLane said she was on her way out of the parking lot when McLane "bolted" in front of him. There were no traffic control devices present nor was there a post- ed speed limit.

Medieval jubliee held BY JIM BALLMER STAFPWRrI'ER · Nine members of ACC's fringe club, The Society for Creative Anachronism, participated in a medieval jubilee October 2 in Traverse City. The society is the club that recreates the style and practices of the medieval times. Creating a persona and swordplay is a normal activity among the mem~ bers of this distinctive club. There are hundreds of SCA groups throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia. Area groups consistently organize festivals to showcase various medieval talents and to simply mill around in the unique atmosphere of times long gone. The jubilee was held in a back woods camp, and about 70 SCA members from around the state basked in the jovial romp through traditions of old. The two main events were the ttWarlord " tourney and the customary medieval feast. Also held were workshops on brewing, shoemaking, and fabric painting. The *Warlord" tourney was designed to test the fighter's strength and dexterity. This event included axe, knife, and spear throwing and archery. Alpena was well repre-sented in the tourney. Bryan Van Bla- ricum (other-wise known as Lord Benjamin Arneld) placed 2nd in the throwing event~ and 3rd overall. VanBlaricum challenged a squire (one of the no- bility) to a sword duel and lost to the pernicinuscavalier, but he was pleased with his placement in the tourney. Bob Demski (Lord Robert "Dutch* of Aqui-lon) placed I 0th overall.
