The annual program, presented by the Carolina Program Union, took on the appropriate theme of Midnight Madness as students took part in various aetivities, climaxing with "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and Break Dance Spectacular at midnight. The festivities began at 2:30 p.m. with the showing of "Spinal Tap," a pseudodocumentary sponsored by Cinematic Arts. The major events, however, began with the ribbon cutting ceremony dedicating Greene Street to David Rinker, vice president of nlonninn \i;lin Hpcinn^H anri nl^nnpH I UVI1I11VJ ^lUillllll^ *? liv/ UV.II^IIVU WHW piuillivu the beautification of the street. AN ENTHUSIASTIC group of USC fans were attracted to the pep rally on Greene street, i ne Danci, cneerieaaers ana even Cocky were there to arouse spirit for the Carolina-Duke game. The crowd thinned a bit after the pep rally, yet the festivities continued with a spectacular Step Show sponsored by the InterFraternity Council.

Another band, "Bedlam Hour," performed a diversity of punk, rock and pop hits to meet the different tastes of students. "Trim 11 played the kind of music people want to hear. The seven-member band along with three female vocalists, showed good musicianship and audience participation thaf added to the diversity of the entire show," said Sandra Stinger, CPU member. THE PIZZA eating contest, roach races and rock star look-a-Iike contest were some of the competitions that offered students entertainment throughout the evening. Students were "crazed" as they saw the owner of the winning roach eat his racer. A cult-like atmosphere was created as "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" lines formed outside the ballroom. Loyal Rocky fans waited for more than an hour for the show to begin. Several programs, such as the Myrtle Beach trip, were not received with as much enthusiasm. The lack of participation was a result of insufficient advertising, according t I?I iv/ i iv/navra^ "Students should have been better informed as too what was going on," Stinger said. All in all, the night was CPU's first major event and it surely "showed students what CPU can do for them," said David Small, Special Programs chairman. mm work p< ok I riJl#K By Susan Llewellyn "Keep your seats lad '* y- gentlemen, for now we pre ig musical magic of the Carolina The voice of announcer P; amazing rings throughout the stadiur I by the music with a crowd of more than 7C The Carolina Band begins t formance, and the work of 2' :en disc* iritis; and student staff members, e cAPlinn rantainc anrl cniiiiH OVV11VII VUpiUIUO U1IV4 JVjUUU 8oes into motion. \$h'* h a song EVERY SUCCESS story )F^n|^Adrtai|f main driving force or motivate armony guita|| case of the Carolina Band his the'song mov- James Copenhaver, director c etboardsf^|l|!|?

Working with this group gives experience beyond anything else. Learning to administrate people is the best learning experience under Copenhaver," said Mark Clark, senior percussion assistant. Senior assistants are experiencing their first year on the other side of the band show. All senior assistants are a unit eight hours a week, and our staff and student assistants help to organize teaching efficiently and quickly." James Copenhaver Director of bands chosen by Copenhaver to assist in teaching the group of more than over 300 members. Beyond the organ iz at on of Copenhaver and his staff, the band shows success through the efforts of the band members. Lordo, in his second year as drum major, finds the time to meet the educational demands of engineering and marketing majors, and the time demands of the band. "IT'S TIME consuming, and there are very few immediate rewards, but the experience and friendship is what makes it good,"said Lordo. "The friendshiD alone with the education is what makes it worthwhile. You never feel isolated. You share common characteristics that make a bond," said Clark. Through the efforts and input from Copenhaver, his staff and each individual member, the Carolina Marching Band strives to represent USC with pride and talent. This Saturday the band will present a new halftime performance for the spectators at the Carolina-Georgia game.
