THE BIG TIME TOP-It was circus time on the CMU campus, when Program Board sponsored The Hani
neford Circus Thursday. Two shows, at 4:30 and 8 p.m., featured 20 display acts, including lions, horses,
elephants and jungle cats. There were also high wire acts and a high perch pole. The circus arrived Wednesday
afternoon, and many students watched the aminals outside of Rose Center. According to one of the men with,
the circus, the elephants entered the building on their knees, as they were too large to fit through the doors at .
Rose. .•■•■■
Newest IM sport?
Elephants perform in Rose
The tartan floor in Rose Center
Arena was broken in this winter by
Central's basketball' team and
numerous intramural cage teams as
well as the current volleyball squads.
. But it never may have taken
more of a pounding than Thursday
night when the Hanneford Circus
brought its three-ring circus in for
twov performances, including acts
with horses and elephants.       •,
And, although there weren't
any dents in the floor at last.look, it
remains to be seen'how the tjartan
will stand up to the excessive
tonage.
"They had. it at Western
Michigan and didn't seen)' to have
any problems," said CMU Athletic
Director Ted Kjolhede, noting
Western has the same type of floor.
"I have no apprehension,"
Kjolhede continued. "I presume the
people who authorized the circus will
see to it there is no damage done."
Program Board is in charge of
the clean up after *ihe circus, ( including any manure refuse. "I'm sure
they will take care of everything. I
doto't think we'll have to worry about
any dents in the floor," he chuckled.
