Rose has been going through some pretty dramatic changes during recent years. The addition of Olin Hall and the renova- tion of Moench Hall are just some of the newest changes which have occurred. Traditions are changing too.

There's the sense of achievement, and relief, when the senior class project gets handed in. There's the pride of watching the bonfire that you built with your own hands go up in flames. And there is the sense of unity and friendship that develops among the students as they overcome these challenges together. Rose may have changed in appearance over the years, but many of the same old experiences are here. I hope that his 7 /r weekend serves to bring many pleasant memories back to all 1*11,;' of you. —RCK WARNING LAMS oN 0)281014. ti.a.UMS...CROMP DiRE A CANIOS Album Review Letter I Fusion of Spyro Gym I to the S.G.A.

Mindy Haws Mees Hall Mindy Haws is a sophomore at Indiana State Uni- versity majoring in Biology with a Chemistry minor. She lives on campus, but her hometown of Marshall, Illinois, is only a short distance away. She graduated a valedictorian of her high school class in 1984 and she was also a National Merit Scholarship Finalist. Mindy began college a semester early in January of 1984 and is now a member of Alpha Lambda Delta, a freshman honorary. Mindy enjoys meeting new people. She received an excellent opportunity to do this as a summer ex- change student to Belgium when she was awarded a Youth For Understanding Scholarship. Mindy enjoys college life immensely, but she is anxious to get on to medical school so she can begin her career in medicine as an obstetrician.

Bertha Horning Alpha Phi Omega Bertha is an energetic, down-home girl from Nor- walk, Ohio. She was a senior prom attendant and a member of the senior homecoming court. While in high school, Bert received several awards for her cooking, which should be reassuring to the Rose guys because she works for ARA here on the Rose- Hulman campus. Bertha attended IBC here in Terre Haute and plans on furthering her education and pursuing her interests in business management. Among her interests and hobbies are drag racing, automobile mechanics, water and snow skiing, houseboating, and, of course, cooking.

ISU seeks E__ comedians As long as there are class- rooms, two things will remain as given: a) There will be class clowns. b) There will be people telling the class clowns to be pro- fessional. Therefore, since college is sup- posed to be a learning experience, the ISU Homecoming Steering Committee will give class clowns a chance to see if they can make it in the big time. The committee will sponsor "Campus Comedian" as a part of the Sycamore Celebration festivities. Entrants in the contest will perform their acts during breaks in the KILO concert at Hulman Civic Center October 15. The winning entrant will be de- termined by audience reaction. The winner will receive the honor of being the funniest person on campus and a dinner for two at Chi-Chi's. All entrants will receive an entry prize. The contest is open to students from ISU and Rose-Hulman. Those interested in participating should pick up an application in the Tirey Memorial Union Board Office or call there to have one sent to them. Participants will be asked to turn in an act outline to be re- viewed by Clark and Jeff Lynan, Indianapolis junior and co- coordinator. "With any event there are rules and regulations," said Clark. "That is why we have to look over the acts. We don't want to offend anyone with off- color humor." The application and act outline should be turned in by noon, Oct. 14.
