More than 55 Elon organiza tions will have tables set-up under the oaks for students to ask ques tions and learn about what the or ganization has to offer. Last year, organizations such as ECTV, Model U.N., Religious Life Council, Inter Varsity, Gospel Choir, Elon Volunteers! and frater nities and sororities hajl tables at the fair. “Last year’s turnout was great, and SUB is handing out mugs to encourage students to^jpt in volved,” said Anwar Cr'uter, sta|e performance chair of Student Union Board. The Student Coordinator of Elon Volunteers!, Jason Dennis said, "The organization fair is a great way for EV! to spread the word about all the service opportu nities on campus. We hope there is a great turn out, like there has been in the past, especially since our organization is student-run.” Some new additions to the fair this year include, Swim Club, Lin coln Pre-Med Society, Methodist Fellowship Group, Rugby, Safe Rides, and the Winter SnowBall Committee. Barb Hanke Carlton, director of Student Activities, has organized the event the past few years, and hopes the knowledge gained through the organizations will supplement knowledge obtained in the classroom. The goal of the annual organi zation fair is to unite the campus with variety, exposing students to organizations that best fit their in dividual needs as well as enhanc ing a strong community. Carlton urges organizations to be creative with their booth and use the time to recruit new members. Elon 101 students will be ran domly surveyed to ask opinions about the organizations at the fair. In the event of rain, the fair will be held in the Koury Center lobby. lice SGA president outlines goals for the year Stacey Ward Staff Reporter Student Government Asso ciation President Michael Rodgers has outlined the organization’s goals for 1995-96 school year. 1.
