The posters that hung from the lounge walls were done on colored paperg with the black being outer-space. The artwork used was painted onto the paper with flourescent paints that glowed under the powerful black lights. Other special effects used by the committee included a mirror ball, Star Wars costumes. and a laser machine. Members of the committee doned homemade costumes depicting characters from the movie. They also presented a multi-colored laser show. The multi-col- ored beams danced on the wall, reacting on vibrations from the music being played. The dance proved to be a great success.
