Cover Story

The sunny lady in the shades is California girl Vicki McCarty; students of students will remember her as our Phi Beta Kappa Playmate of September 1979. Senior Art Director Len Willis, who designed the cover, and Executive Art Director Tom Staebler, who shot it, tell us that Vicki is drinking a laser beam through that suggestive straw. Appropriate enough, since she has burned plenty of retinas all by herself.
