lt, 5 5. The epliome ol with o sunny doy ot Lullwoter TO Emory, Swoop ond Coke combined moke o perfect scene. A Great Day For Play' hat happened when President Laney invited 9,000 of his favor- ite students to a picnic in his backyard? Lullwater Day, of course, lt came to be an annual University event that students and faculty both anticipated and enjoyed, this year being no exception. The variety of entertainment this year included music from clays past by the Dixieland Quartet and music from the islands by Roma ll7, a calypso band. Upon entering the park, most saw familiar faces of friends, faculty, and staff. They also saw a beautiful hot air balloon in the middle of the park that filled the sky with dazzling colors. Many people went up to get an exciting birdseye view of the park. Freshman Carole Chlupacek took a ride and said, lt was great. We went up in the balloon and l got to throw trisbees to everybody. so it was really neat. The bands were good, and it was fun seeing all the little kids running around. A For those who wanted to remain a bit closer to the ground, there were charicature drawings. ludging by the long line, just about everyone wanted to have their faces distorted and put on a tiny body. As a juggler, senior Lisa Pearse walked around the park, juggling bowling pins, and entertaining the children.

Swoop had a good time too, taking pictures with little kids as well as some of the bigger ones. Undoubtedly, the best part of Lullwater Day was the food. For only fifty cents everyone was able to enjoy chicken, ice cream. apples. and a drink. As an added treat, there was Lullwater Day memorabil- ia, such as trisbees, cups and balloons, I Lullwater Day happened only once a year, but this years was especially noteworthy, Emory's sesquicentennial C1836 l986l brought with it even more enthusiasm.

Staff member elderly through rnany programs at Kurt Lange enjoys working with the Weslev VVOOUS Reaching Out At Emory mory University witnessed many changes in the l98o S7 year as the campus continued to grow and expand. Equally impressive was the growth in the number ot students interested in helping others who were less fortunate. Over two hundred agencies in Atlanta benefitted from the efforts of Volunteer Emory as they en- tered their seventh year of service to the community, A student run organization supervized by Dean Rebecca Gurholt, Volunteer Emory reached out to mental health centers, hospitals, the elderly, and underprivileged children. Volunteers also had a chance to wfrk in soup kitchens and night shelters. Some of their special protects included Play Day in the Park, a carnival held in Lullwater for handicapped and underprivileged children and a special Christmas party. These events allowed students outside ot Volunteer Emory to participate in a volunteer event. Codirectors Audrey Klien and Srini- vasan lyfukundan worked with dorm advisors to organize a Heart to Heart weekend where students were given the opportunity to par- ticipate in a oneftime volunteer experience. Opportunities included working with the elderly making arts and crafts, playing sottball with boys' and girls' clubs, doing yardwork for the elderly, and working at night shelters and soup kitchens. Sometimes people are hesitant about volunteering on a regular basis. This weekend provided stu- dents a chance to feel out an area they may have been interested in to see if they felt comfortable or lust an opportunity to share some time helping others , remarked Audrey Klien. With such diverse experiences from helping the elderly to working with metro-housing to protect peoples rights, students were bound to find a situation that they felt comfortable with, Not only did they help those who were less fortunate, volunteers also gained an insightg an awareness of how others lived. Many students chose volunteer programs that related to careers they wished to pursue. For example, many students interest- ed in the field of medicine chose to volunteer at local hospitals. This was also a great asset to the staff because it often allowed them an opportunity to share their workload or to provide more one on one attention to the patients. Many students continue to volunteer after college too, as it provided a significant feeling of accomplishment all for the sake of others. The spirit of caring was shar 'l by many other organizations on campus as well. There were several religious organizations, such as University Worship and Emory Christian Fellowship as well as frater- nities and sororities, which provided services to the needy through pledge protects and philanthropy tund-raising events. One week long charity event was the Sigma Chi Derby Week in which the fraternity worked with Emory sororities to raise money for Egleston Childrens Hospital. Fraternities and sororities often worked together to organize band parties, sell cups, and go roadblocking, They in turn were supported by the rest of the campus who purchased cups and attended the functions. lt was a unique experience to voinbirie social tunctions with an opportunity to raise money for others. Cani- pus wide events unified the Emory community while assisting the l---spa fortunate. I by Elizabeth Ataquire i2i3AcHiNc our 273 I is i l l
