"She was her own person with her own convictions.” Cory’s for mer English composition pro fessor, Sister Julia Marie Weser, remembers her as being reserved and poised. "She was moderate and didn’t give in to histrionics.” Her teachers all thought she would go far in the world, but no one knew she would go this far. "You always have great expectations that are frequently disappointed,” said Sister Murray. "But hav ing a former student of mine become president of the Phil ippines far surpasses any ex pectations I ever had.” Minnesota’s Big Thaw At the end of a long, gruel ing winter, University of Minnesota students have at least two reasons to celebrate: below-zero tem peratures can be kissed good bye and Campus Carnival '86 is almost there. Billed as the nation’s largest student-run fund-raising event, "Cami" draws at least 20,000 people each year into the university’s old, barnlike held house for three days in mid-April to watch elaborately staged the atrical revues. Last year Cami raised more than $50,000 for a local children’s charity and fea tured, among others, "The La vettes”—a group of women dressed as volcanic flames ac companied by musicians clad in purple togas. Sadly, this could be the last year for Cami. Increased insur ance rates for Cami ’86 could seriously decrease the amount of money that goes to charity. Also, last summer the old field house’s dirt floor was covered by a $360,000 polyurethane surface, and Carni may lose its venue if the rambunctious Studio study: Managing music JACK ROHK MTSU I ^ ... jor MENU* N Cold comfort: Ending winter with the University of Minnesota ’» celebrated Campus Carnival affair results in damage to the new covering. "It ’s scary, know ing that Carni’s in the bal ance. If we foul up, this may be the last year, and that would be a real shame,” says Kerry Bowe, Carni’s overall chair man. "There’s nothing like it, nothing that can bring 2,600 student participants together for three months of hard work and fun, and all for a worth while cause.” Recording a Bachelor's Some of the folks who lis ten to records at Middle Tennessee State in Mur freesboro aren’t just playing around: they’re working on their major in RIM (Recording Industry Management). The 10-year-old program produces promoters, agents, publishers and technicians for the music business. (Nearby Nashville boasts a similar program at Bel mont College.) The State of Tennessee recently gave MTSU $1.3 million to set up a Center of Excellence in Record ing Arts and Sciences, includ ing an all-digital recording fa cility. 'That should put us up at the top of the charts,” says program coordinator Geof frey Hull. RIM majors take 33 hours of required courses in such areas as career development for re cording artists, music publish ing, merchandising of records and the technology of record ing. And each year students in the program produce a record album. Not surprisingly, giv en its Grand Ole Opry sur roundings, MTSU emphasizes down-home music. "They come here really into rock and roll," says Isabel Landeo, a music publisher who earned an KIM degree from MTSU, "and learn to like or love or live with country music.” The Leaders of the Pack Parents who think their college-age offspring have totally different stand ards of merit may want to re consider A recent Newsweek On Campus Poll asked students what person alive today (ex cluding friends or relatives) they moat admired. The No. 1 slot went overwhelmingly to that youthful spirit Ronald Reagan Mother Teresa was second, followed by Pope John Paul II.
