Club Fair Clubs, organizations take initiative by attracting members for the gear Students attend college to receive knowledge through academics, but they can receive it through activities, also. Many opportunities exist for students to get involved in extracurricular activities. The Ciub Fair, held the first week of September, was sponsored by the Dean of Students Office. All clubs and organizations were invited to set up a booth and attempt to attract new members. It provided students a chance to find out just what was available to them. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate, and the event had to be held in the ballroom of Heth Hall as opposed to its traditional location of the fountain and the adjoining sidewalks. Students crowded into the ballroom to examine their various alternatives to participate in college life. In an effort to aid their recruiting, many organizations had small gifts to give away. Not all who participated in the Club Fair were RU organizations. Domino's Pizza provided free pizza. The Radford Chamber of Commerce was on hand in an effort to promote a better relationship between the city and the school. Kroger gave away frisbees, and C P Telephone Company had pencils. The poor weather also forced the cancellation of the picnic which had been scheduled for outdoors. However, students could still go to the cafeteria for picnic fare which included fried chicken, corn-on-the-cob and brownies. The festive atmosphere continued into the evening when students heard the popular band Speidel. Goodrich and Lille. The group performed for almost three hours with tunes from The Big Chill era. along with original material. Student Life sponsored the group who had performed last year on campus.
