Main Street
By Suzanne Reed
Entertainment Editor
With more than 400,000people
walking the warm, sunny mile of
music, modem art, steaming fajitas,
street mimes and decorated booths,
Fort Worth’s 1989 Main Street last
week was the largest ever.
Artisans, craftsmen, food and
beverage vendors, radio station
jockeys, street musicians, staged
bands and Main S treetactors solicited,
fed and entertained the crowds.
More than 100 booths covered
one of the busiest streets in Fort
Worth.
Families, students and young
couples found themselves captivated
by the artistic glamour surrounding
the festivities.
Jazz, jewelry, roasted turkey
legs, stained glass, crystals and T-
shirts were just a few of the
attractions.
Before entering the gala of
entertainment, the Worthington Hotel
gallery decorated its walls with some
of the best and unusual art to make up
Main Street’s main entrance.
Financial assistance applications due May 1
Pell Grant applications for the
summer semesters must be received
by May 1, and students should apply
now for assistance for the 1989-90
school year, Donald Zachary,
director of financial aid on NE
Campus, said.
The Pell Grant is used as a
qualifying basis for all grants, loans
and scholarships available at TCJC.
After approval, students may
apply for a Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grant
(SEOG), which is for students with
exceptional financial need and does
not require repayment.
Several low-cost loans do not
have to be repaid until after a
students’education is complete.
In order to receive financial aid,
a student must sign an affidavit stating
he does not use drugs. If a student
violates this provision, the aid will be
revoked; and the student would be
penalized.
Processing of applications takes
four to six weeks.

’89 drew record crowd
Several pieces of abstract art
included work of acrylic paintings,
prints, dried grass, a dead frog encased
in one portrait and black and white
photography.
This year’s musical
entertainment was culturally diverse
featuring Mexican, Middle East,
Philippine, Renaissance and of
course, rock-n-roll.
Review
Seven stages were set up to
accomodate live music, plays and
dance.
The Hip Pocket Theatre
presented an original folk musical;
the Caravan of Dreams presentedDr.
Faustus; the Fort Worth Opera gave
an outstanding version of
Rumpelstiltskin; and several
productions of Shakespeare in the
Park were featured on stage.
Many local country, pop,
ethnic, funk, jazz and blues bands
filled the street with live
entertainment completing the
atmosphere.
This year’s theme, City of the
Future, brought new and fresh
attractions to the festivities.
Radio Shack and Tandy Corp-
oration transformed the central
“garage” area into a lunar launch
pad, where glass elevators, disguised
as space shuttles, transported children
to the Fifth floor “space station.”
Texas’ Super Collider project
also debuted in its first public
appearance at Main St.
The 300-square-foot display
featured a look at man’s quest to
understand his universe and what is
beyond his universe. The collider is
the latest in research to study the
innermost structure of matter and is
planned to be built in Waxahachie.
Main St. ended last Sunday as
the booths shut down after
experiencing good profits, the bright
lights lowered, the music faded, and
as parents carried their exhausted
children to the car.

The cost of college is nothing to cheer about.
Fact is, if you figure tuition and living expenses, a
Bachelor’s Degree can easily set you back more than
$10,000. That's the bad news.
The good news is that MBank can help with three
popular types of student loans: the Stafford Student
Loan, the Supplemental Loan for Students and the
Parent Loan for Undergraduate Studies.
It’s easy to qualify, approval is fast, and these loans
are available at simple interest. Your repayment
schedule can even be geared to vour particular financial
situation.
Give us a yell.
