Members of the University Activities Center hold a meeting in the Union. The UAC helped to create mutiple types of entertainment for students on campus Y. Qrunutu photo ARRANGING ACTIVITIES By Lauren Rutledge The University Activities Center (known on campus as UAC) brought the best of student entertainment to the University. Home to over 15 committees, UAC spent over 30 years developing quality entertainment and educational programming which students enjoyed. It was comprised of roughly 450 total members, although an estimated 20,000 students attended a UAC event this year. During the fall semester, UAC sponsored popular events such as the Rude Mechanicals ' production of Taming of the Shrew, the Amazin ' Blue and Pops Orchestra fall concerts, MUSKET ' s production of Titanic, a lecture by White House correspondent Helen Thomas through the Speaker Initiative, and several films through Big Ticket Productions. The winter semester added more concerts of some of the above groups, as well as Impact Dance and Comedy Company per- formances. M-Flicks presented popular films, such as Red Dragon and American History X, in the Natural Science Auditorium. UAC ' s wide range of activities drew spectators and enthusiasts from all crowds, and the performances and events were often packed. This year was also important for the Michigan Academic Competition team, which won its third consecutive national College Bowl championship. UAC also sponsored the Every Three Weekly, a satire newspaper very popular on campus. Brian Netter, President of UAC and senior industrial opera- tions engineering major, felt that the committee gave him an oppor- tunity to better the University community. He said, Serving on the executive board of UAC has allowed me to give back to the University and to try to make the campus a more enjoyable place for us all. I ' ve benefited by my exposure to a great group of passionate leaders who have taught me what 1 could not have learned elsewhere.
