Don't Look Now, But • • Close your eyes for a moment, and try to imagine the wildest. most outlandish attire ever assembled to cover the human body. Do you have a picture in mind? Excellent! Now. let's add a leopard skin shirt with a hot pink smock, maybe a pair of fluorescent-green highwaters and a pair of shoes (a tennis shoe on one foot and a combat boot on the other, of coursel). To compliment with finishing touches, we'll tie a 60's style floral -print sash around the waist, paint the face half black and half white, and finally, rat the hair and spray paint it bright yellow! Impossible, one might say? Not on Silly Dayl Crazy outfits were just part of Silly Day, and that was just one day of the hairy, but hilarious two weeks of induction. The fall semester brought together many people who would remain lifelong friends. Students met through devos, sports activities, minor and major dates, and just simply meeting someone who needed mutual support to get through the time of induction. In fact , one could say that the new friendships were the most important result of those outlandish weeks. Common to each year are the changes that come about in hopes of making induction more interesting. more exciting. and more beneficial to each club and prospective club member. This year, women's clubs joined men's clubs in giving out multiple bids, and for the first time. most women had a choice in what club they joined. It was also decided that induction should be shortened from four weeks to two weeks, which reduced the number of activities a club had to organize to fill the days. and also lessened the strain on the inductees. The induction period began with three Friendly Days, followed by a Silly Day and a few Spirit Days. Then it was up to the individual clubs to decide on activities to complete the event calendar. After induction, with pledge books completed and handed in,' clubs had the right to revote on inductees. When the inductees had overcome this final hurdie. they were officially initiated into their club. Initiation ceremonies ranged from jeans to formal wear, and inductees were raised to the status of a new member, enabling them to become active participants in all club functions. & • One Solemn Face.
