Winter Term is over but no one has realized it yet! This weekend was
the first of Spring Term but it sure looked a lot like Winter Term. Friday
night, three parties were held on campus. The Granville Suite 5 party did
not have a particularly inviting title but the hosts were gracious none the
less and the party was excellent. Beverages were provided and yummy!
Chris Nagle played bartender. It was easy to tell he had just returned from
Switzerland. It was great to see all the people who had been overseas
Winter Term but the people in China were greatly missed. It was a good
party but many commented that they could have done without the
annoying strobe light which frightened many a partier away.
The people who left had no trouble finding other parties to attend. The
campus was crawling with them. Meek Suite Two is trying to resurrect
the “Swamp.” Those who attended S.A. last year will remember that
Suite Four Winston, otherwise known as the “Swamp” always had plenty
of “Swamp Frog” for friends and drop-ins. The boys of Suite Two Meek
renewed the tradition. Captain Ed led the largely freshman suite in
learning the ways of the almost forgotten bog. There was also a party in
Wilmington but an unfortunate sequence of events rendered us unable to
attend.
Friday was a tough act to follow but Saturday had no problem surpass
ing it. The fun started at 1:00 in the afternoon with a rousing rugby match.
The match was the debut social engagement of Alex Dubs, the newest
and youngest inductee io Andrews social life. She showed up in style
in a lovely pram. The first twenty-eight people at the game were given
expensive and stylish “Go Team” hats by the writers of this column. The
match drew a large crowd and the loss of both matches seemed to do little
to dull the fan’s enthusiasm. Founding member Pat Savage exclaimed
after the game, “I love our fans. They come out, support us, and yell on
the big runs and big hits. “ The party after the game was extremely
crowded. New rugby players were initiated with the traditional rugby lift
and the customary rugby songs were sung. The party cleared out early but
it didn’t end. Nearly everyone simply migrated to another off-campus
party that went on into the early morning hours.
Spring Fever is starting to rear its ugly head with couples breaking up
left and right. Don’t worry guys we know that you are just too cheap to
buy Valentine ’ s Day presents. As soon as the costly holiday is over you ’ 11
be running back. However, remember guys if you don’t pay the price you
lose the merchandise!
It’s going to be a great Spring Term if this weekend is any indication.
Remember, we saw what you did and we know who you are! Including
you Stash, watch out for those wheelies!
P.S. Joe, Kip Darcy says hi among a lot of other things!
P.M.S. Happy Valentine's Day!
Gathering Place
Has New Hours
By Eric Digons
Staff Writer
In a continuing effort to stir up
interest, the Gathering Place has ex
tended its operating hours during the
week and on the weekends. Previous
to the change the Gathering Place was
onlyopen8:30 P.M.-10:30 P.M. Now
it is open from 8:30 A.M.-2;00 A.M.
The kitchen will be open from 9:00
P.M. to 12:00 A.M. The reason for the
change in hours is that, "the previous
hours were limited and by switching
to later hours it gives students a chance
to have group study sessions or just
socialize," explained Director of Stu
dent Activities Tim Freeman. Free
man also feels that once the Gather
ing Place starts being used more
then people will use it.
Other ideas are being entertained
for the Gathering Place in order to
bring people in. A jukebox and
dartboard have been put in and the
idea of putting a big screen televi-*
sion instead of two small ones that
are now present is being considered
but student interest in this is impor
tant. Putting blinds on the windows
is also an idea being discussed. The
extention of the Gathering Place
hours provides the students with
greater accessibility to enjoy the
great potential that the Gathering
Place has as a hang-out.
