Deadline is Friday, April 16th, 5 p.m. www.wcnet.org/-mecca I .4 I I I Bowling Green State University Colors are very unique. They surround and brighten the world. Often colors are perceived in very basic terms: red, blue and green. But, because of textures and shades they are very complex and unique: burgundy, teal and olive. People are very comparable to colors, stereotyped and placed unjustly in groups. Like colors, people are over- looked and their shades and textures that make them unique go unnoticed. It is the shades and textures of students that make Bowling Green State University so special. Every trait and characteristic in a person is what makes them their own distinct color. With so many students making up numerous colors, shades and textures, BGSU's palette paints a picture of memories, activities and events that everyone will hold close to them for years to come. Collectively, everyone works together in painting the year. HOMECOMING 1998 In an attempt to get the crowd riled up. Ryan Salsgivcr, shouts for the crowd to gel louder.
