jgKgk ■■■■1 HBHI e i Twhy conMions, fun prevaileawheri Wmim A ■ |M Northwest We asbrought iric rsM Horizontal bungee jumping, human bowling, carni- val games and comedians entertaining the crowd pro- vided an alternative to the normal school schedule. During Northwest Week, students had a chance to enjoy a stress-free environment. The weather changed rapidly, making for unpredict- able conditions. Despite the weather, the fun was not diminished. Fun Flicks kicked off the week in the Spanish Den by allowing participants to make their own mini movie or music video. The experience was captured on videotape free of charge. Students also had the opportunity to attend and par- ticipate in a two-hour comedy show, We Can Make You Laugh. According to Kevin Gogan, Campus Activity Pro- grammers president, the game show involved three comedians. The show began with a stand-up act which included material from their own personal repertoire. This was followed by a game show in which audience members names were randomly drawn out of a hat to appear on stage. Once on stage, the comedians each had two minutes to make the contestant laugh. The comedians came out on the stage dressed in costumes such as a mother or the worst prom date a person could have, Gogan said. If the three comedi- ans did not make the contestant laugh or smile, then the person won $25. Gogan also commented on the success of We Can Make You Laugh. I had never seen the Spanish Den so full, he said. It was standing room only. Another event during the week was Spring Spirit Fest ' 94 which was moved into the University Conference Center because of rain. However, the move did not put a damper on activities. I considered the carnival a great success even though it had to be moved due to the rain, Gogan said. Michelle Leeper, who attended the event with her friends, went horizontal bungee jumping. It was a thrilling experience to be with friends and participate in the game, Leeper said. If students did not enjoy putting their life on the line by horizontal bungee jumping, human bowling or Sumo wrestling, several other carnival activities were offered. Some of the different sororities and groups had activities such as a sucker tree and we looked for the suckers with green dots and we got a prize, Sarah Partlow said. Music also added to the excitement of the festival. During the carnival. Trio Aztlan, a Mexican American guitar group, walked around and sang Mexican music to spectators. Another group which performed during the week was Turtlemoon, an Omaha-based group, who opened for the Fishheads. The Fishheads performed a mix of reggae, rock alternative, novelty, oldies and island music. Winding up the bash, weekend events included a Shake Rattle and Bowl at Bearcat Lanes, Road Ride from Maryville to Pumpkin Center and a Mountain Bike ride in Beal Park. While there were many events for University stu- dents to get involved in, the unpredictable weather conditions did not alter the entertainment. The week not only brought out the daring edge in many students, but also created a fun diversion from classes. By Kris Underwood and Ruby Dittmer JO Student Life
