With large chains swinging from his neck over a baggy shirt, he began performing. Person performed as part of the Dieterich and Millikan Talent Show. The show, held Oct. 14 in Dieterich ' s main lounge, was part of programming Residential Life offered. It showcased over 14 acts with students singing, playing guitar, telling jokes and a spoken word performance. Residential Assistants were required to put on academic, diversity and social programs like Sex-Tac-Toe and Plagiarize This. Residential Life Director Matt Baker said satisfaction rates of programming were shown in the results of surveys filled out at the end of each year and in the return num- bers of people living on campus. I measure the programs on how much peo- ple succeed, when thev come back and their retention, Baker said. So, it ' s not a highly satisfied on this program, but overall we see retention. We do survevs of living in the hall. ' How satisfied are you with living in the hall? ' and every year have very high marks. Students gathered in the Centennial Gar- den to partake in several events at Fall Fest Sept. 22 hosted bv Residence Hall Associa- tion and Tower Suites Hall Council at 4 p.m. Some fought with oversized red and blue gloves in a blown-up boxing ring, others threw water balloons at one another. Hangar tickets, Wal-Mart certificates and iPod speakers were giveaways at the festival The event held during Familv Dav week- end allowed some students to get out of their rooms for the night. Some parents do come on Fridav, Eliza- beth Stehly said. It gives people something to do instead of going out or being stuck in their room doing homework. Tower Suites Complex Director Amanda Schiellinger said she hoped the programs would encourage more students to embrace weekend programming. We really hope to open them up to small programs in the halls, Schiellinger said. [And] see there is really something to do [on weekends] instead of house parties. ■ Writer | Kelsev Garrison Designer | Lindsav Steinkamp RES, LIFE OROTR VS|OI3
