Cheap but CLASSY dates I hung up the phone. The girl of my dreams said, "Yes!" Now I just had to figure out where to take her. I consulted my wallet; it screamed, "Leave her in her dorm room. You barely have money for a stamp." Knowing full well that my grandmother would shoot me if I didn't write her, I decided to cash a check for the last five dollars in my account. As Entertain the S. A. way - - The Student Association took seriously the business of keeping the student The first of the two entertainment committees was the Student Association Movie Committee. Under the direction of junior Robert San Juan, the movie committee brought such classics as It's A Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street to the Benson Auditorium, while also showing newer movies, such as Masters of the Universe and Jaws IV. The second I walked back to my dorm, I searched my mind for something romantic, but , to put it bluntly, cheap as all get out. Romantic was easy - girls love eating by candlelight (I guess so people can't watch them) but where to eat was a problem. I seriously debated taking her to the College Inn and using my declining balance, but I remembered that my committee was the Student Affairs Committee. The SAC was responsible for keeping the students busy with concerts, musicians, parties, and other entertainers. The SAC brought Edward Jackman, a juggler/comedian, to the Benson, and for the meager admission fee of two dollars, the audience was treated to one of the more entertaining performers. "I really enjoyed what the Student Association has done this year to entertain us. It seemed balance had declined as much as it could. My roommate laughed at my dilemma, then suggested McDonald's. It was my turn to laugh. However, the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. After much deliberation, I decided a candlelight dinner at McDonald's would be romantic, inexpensive, and even kind of cute. And she liked it! - David Dearin You're joking, right?

You roll the dice, and four dots stare you down. You move your red token to the red-tinted square and the only thing that stands between you and victory is your ability to draw. You hesitantly pick a card and read the word "dehydrated." You then groan audibly, realizing that this word is impossible to draw, not to mention the fact that you will probably be late for your 2:00 class. With all of the changes that the College Inn experienced, many students feared that cards and game-playing in the student center had become a thing of the past. But thanks to the pocketbooks of students and the Student Association, games and decks of cards were brought back to the student center. Among the games played this year was Pictionary. Described as "charades on paper," many would-be artists spent valuable study time in the student center, drawing such words as "Suez Canal," "vowel," and "Bon Voyage." Draw it. The new craze in the student center was Pictionary.
