Midnight Madness fes

Whether eating pizza, bananas or even
roaches; skating in the street, or jamming
with the sounds of their favorite tunes,
students were able to find more than a touch
of madness, during Friday evenings' All

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

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.

crowd, "Bachelor of Arts," was a band that
combined new wave with a unique punk
sound. 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

"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.

"IT'S A great experience. 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.

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.
