The annual Miinc-r Luau was
held Oct. 10, on the tront porch of
Milner. The reggae band Full Stop
came and set up around 6:00 p.m.
while the Milner Hall council set
up decorations and food.
"We got thirty pizzas from
Dominos and a local restaurant
gave us the barbeque meat," said
President Paul Mosca, one of the
main organizers of this year's luau.
A crowd started to assemble
around 8:00 and the luau kicked
into action around 8:15 when the
band started to play. Leis were
handed out through out the evening.
"Hey, those things are cool, I want
one," said one eager student.
A few people dressed in the spirit
of the luau. Grass skirts could be
seen on a few male students. "Like
my skirt?" said Wade Tomilson,
first year student. "We made them
ourselves, aren't they great?"
The band was facing out onto
Milner's front lawn, and a crowd
of dancers formed as soon as the
band started to play. "This band is
great, look at all the people danc
ing!" exclaimed Matt Ingram, a
member of the Hail Council.
Food wa? through out the
evening. "I've ocen hearing a lot
about these great barbeque sand
wiches. I just had to come over and
get one," said one Guilford stu
ally through authenticism repre
sentative of The Fab Four's 1%3-
1966 tours.
The group did exhaustive re
search into costumes, haircuts,
speaking and singing voices, stage
movements facial expressions,
equipment and musical sound to
produce this state-of-!he-art
Beatles show
The spin? and feel of John, Paul,
George, and Ringo are superbly
replicated by Mark Benson, Gary
Grimes, Tom Work, and Terry
Manfredi, respectively. Grimes
even learned how to play left
handed guitar to portray
McCartney accurately.
This flawless reproduction of the
magic of The Beatles has a multi
generational appeal, thrilling the
crowds as the group immortalized
the most famous rock performers
of all time. Particularly appreci
ated by college students, "1964"
was voted "Contemporary Music
Artists of the Year" in 1989 by the
National Association for Campus
Activites.
dent, as he waited in line. Mem
bers and advisors of the Hall Coun
cil served the steady stream of stu
dents eager to get their free food.
Many students asked why there
were no frozen virgin daiquiris or
pigs being roasted over a spit fire.
"This year we had a very small
number of people organizing this
event, it was hard work. I'm happy
that we could put together and I
think it turned out well," responded
Helen Mulhern, an advisor to the
Hall Board.
Around 9:00, Mosca made an
observation about the crowd. "The
number of people isn't as big as I
had expected, but I'm hoping it
will get bigger." He was pleasantly
surprised when the crowd grew as
the night progressed. Students
could be found on the porch, in the
lounge, and spread out on the grass.
The band played their last song
around 12:00 midnight, and the
crowd dispersed. The clean-up
crew was put into action around
12:30 and the annual Milner Luau
was over.
One disappointed student said,
"I was so upset, I could hear the
band playing but when I got over
here around 12:15 they had stopped
and the crowd was gone. A lot of
people told me it was a really great
night. I wish I could have been
there. I guess I'll have to wait for
next year's Milner Luau."
