Jam Jam Provides Cajun Entertainment Laissez les bons temps rouler! Let the good times roll! Jambalaya Jamboree epitomized those very words. Jam Jam, which began just 18 years ago as a small Cajun festival, has become one of LSU ' s largest activities. This year ' s festival, sponsored by the LSU Union, was held April 22, in the John M. Parker Agricultural Cen- ter. Drinking beer, racing pirogues, eating crawfish and jambalaya, and dancing the Cajun two-step were all part of this annual festival. Throughout the day, a number of student organizations offered Cajun cooking and entertainment. Entertainment included Cajun skits, musicals, chorus lines and slapstick. Group competition included a Mr. and Mrs. Jam Jam contest, a crawfish relay, and a Cajun two- step dance contest. Some of the more original food and entertain- ment booths were named Dat ' s Entertainment, West Side Bayou, and Abroad the Atchafa- laya. The Governor ' s Sweepstakes Award went to Acacia fraternity and Pi Beta Phi sorority for first place in overall competition, with Kappa Alpha and Phi Mu taking second. Acacia and Pi Beta Phi also won the concessions and entertain- ment competition. Alpha Omicron Pi and Tau Kappa Epsilon won the concessions trophy for first.
