Tiger After all the smoke had cleared from the laser tag event in the SWB' bYThf0 V011 Kill'-wffwski lllvmgfdphs bf' M21'1d3 V'1f'1 1'Ul1 Royal Cotillion Ballroom, Tiger Bash 2000 had provided an evening of varied interests and entertainments for rookie LSU students. lt's a great way to welcome people to LSU, and it provides something positive to do on campusf' chimed the voice of Laurie Freeman, a sophomore from Lafayette. The August 23 event, created and managed by the Union Program Council, heralded the theme Welcome to the Iunglef' as it transformed the Student Union into a highly spirited palace of amusement. The gala featured a unique smorgasbord of activities including Laserstorm Qlaser tagj, exotic facial art, spin art, bowl- ing, pottery painting, caricature drawings, a scavenger hunt, wax hand-making and a late-night showing of every college kid's favorite movie, uGoonies.', I love Goonies, and I love the character Chunk. He's my hero. Tiger Bash has good movie etiquettef said junior Donald Schwander. The different games and services created a welcoming mat to the Student Union and gave the guests a chance to meet other students like themselves. Taking a walk through Tiger Bash was not by any means your normal trek through the Union. Students brandished colorful balloon hats and extravagantly painted facesg trendy pop- music exhaled from everywhere, as if God had installed speakers in the sky, and giddy freshman dialogue riveted throughout the byways of the LSU campus' focal point. One of those voices was that ofjonathan Miller, a sophomore from Baton Rouge, who exclaimed, Welre enjoying the festivities. It helps freshmen snoop around and explore the Union. The whole event makes college life less intimidatingf, The only things intimidating at Tiger Bash were the many balloons, which had been pinned up about the festivities, giving students the idea that they might just lift the whole building into the clouds. Other than that, it was good, safe entertainment. Tiger Bash was the first of many campus entertainment events scheduled by the Union Program Council for the 2000-2001 school year. It is also their most established event. lt's our Welcome Back Bashf, says Council President Kristy Miller, a senior from Lake Charles. Student fees fund- ed the party, giving everyone the right to attend. This year's shindig brought some five hundred plus Tigers out of their cages for great fun. Those who missed out on Tiger Bash 2000, missed out big. Lisa Nyguyn, a sophomore in business, plays pool in the Union during Tiger Bash.
