CAMPUS UPDATE March 28, 1984 page 2 Perspective Does Anyone Have An Excuse For Apathy ? by Julianne Michaels Have you ever complained of “nothing to do” on a weekend night? Is the lack of fun social activities a chronic complaint? Have you stopped looking for activities? If you haven't stopped searching for and attending events, you may well be one of ACC’s own endangered spe- cies, On Friday, March 16, 1984, the musical comedy duo of Fast. & _ | Missad performed a coffee house style concert at the Holidome in Al- ‘pena’s Holiday Inn. The coffeehouse crowd, all 40 of them, had great fun laughing as they listened to Doug Fast give satirical musical inter- pretations of the Reagan administration and its policies, the righteous- ‘| ness of the Moral Majority (“gag me with communion!”), and the other social, economic and political plagues that accompany life in the 80's.

A M€ASING VI by Kevin Schalkofski Does anyone, beside me, remem- ber when sweatshirts came in only one size (too big), and one color (gray)? Sweatshirts were a godsend to the fashion scene. If you were too ‘fat, the sweatshirt hid all your un- ‘sightly bulges. If you were too skinny, the sweatshirt gave you un- sightly bulges. The long sleeves of the sweat- shirt were excellent for hiding arms . that were too white, too tan, too hairy.
