Nickel: Campus social center a E Student recreational activities had their focal point in the Turley Center, usually referred to as the Nickel. Under the direction of Stan Groves it provided a variety of activities, coordinated by Brian Winiesdorffer. Each year it seems attendance at the recreational activities which we provide for the student body keeps rising. This is due in large measure to the hard work and dedication of activities coordinator Brian Winiesdorffer, said Groves. This past year was no exception, and because of this success, we are now looking for ways we can expand the activities we will provide in the future ' Ranging from movies to competitions, special events, and the Thursday evening dances, these activities gave for the students a break from the academic world. As fall began, an Activities Fair was held to help famil- iarize students with campus organizations. In October, students enjoyed Hal- loween with a chilling film festival and dance. A backgammon tournament and. College Bowl highlighted November while a Christmas dance and video game tournament were held in December.
