1 get involved echoed across the Union from all directions. As I stepped through the doors into the magical world of the activities carnival, I was overwhelmed with an atmosphere filled with bright colors, people and balloons. A rainbow colored clown and other costumed characters roamed among the booths and displays. I was struck, just like a child at a candy counter, not knowing what choice to make. There were so many tables and booths that a childish urge to join everything overcame me. My varied interests were in turmoil. Which of the 100 clubs represented should I join? As I dodged the crowd of over 1500; organization members, playing the part of carnival barkers, rallied for my attention to come and join their clubs. The daring side of me headed to the KSU Flying club. art by Mel Westmeyer activities carnival 145

The purpose of the flying club is to promote flying. The club owns and operates six different aircraft and a simulator, Andy Kiorpes, vice president, said boastingly. I could picture myself flying out into the wild blue yonder or better yet leaping from an airplane with the KSU Parachute Club, another organization represented at the carnival. As I continued, my cultural interests shined through as I passed the Le Cercle Francais and Russian clubs. Or maybe the Hunger Project committee of Manhattan or Big Brothers Big Sisters was the answer for me. Walking further, the intellectural side of me was impressed with the number of honorary societies. Mortar board is a senior honorary whose purpose is to serve K-State and the surrounding community, Lynda Hecklemann president said, as I passed the decorated table. Angel Flight was still another possibility. Angel Flight is a service organization which also acts as a little sister group to support Arnold Air, Jennifer Sisney, treasurer, informed the group that had congregated around her table. Ranging from marketing to poultry science, there were curriculum clubs galore. As I passed the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) table, Mary Jacobson, president, pulled me aside. PRSSA ' s goal is to educate public relations students about new events through speakers and practical experience, Jacobson said. Then out of the corner of my eye, I saw a whirlwind of body movement. The K-Laires were demonstrating the art of square dancing. A combination of swing your partner left then right, do-si-do and a promande right then left, exhausted me just watching. I collected my thoughts as I passed the KSU Wildlife Society. It must have been my roaring wildness that attracted me here. We are a group of students working to promote wildlife through projects and speakers, Laura Bareiss, president, said. At least 10 different religious organizations were represented from Cowboys for Christ to B ' nai B ' rith Hillel Foundation. With all the possible clubs to join, my head was spinning. Ranging from feature films to travel, the Union Programming Council (UPC) had a variety of committees to join. One project of the council is to host this activities carnival, so clubs and organizations can recruit members and educate people of their existance, • Marlesa Roney, UPC president, stated. After touring the entire carnival, my thoughts raced over what seemed like millions of clubs that I had heard about. Get involved, but there are only so many hours to a day, I thought. Broaden your horizons, but what about my GPA? I debated. Then with the pop of a UPC balloon I drifted back into reality. I had to decide which clubs I would best excell in. The KSU Horsemen ' s Association or Castle Crusade; Flint Hills Equestrian or Fone? Since the choices were broad I determined the key to the dilemma was to find a median for myself. I should choose something that included study time, plus the fun and involvement that clubs provide. After evaluating all the clubs, I finally narrowed it down to two flipped a coin and it came up heads.
