UNIVERSITY CENTER UC activities provide student recreation The year began for the University Center with the All UC Week dur- ing the fall semester. The week of var- ied activities acquainted students with services and programs provided by the UC Programs Council, Cultural Events and the UC itself. Beatles movies, videotapes of Flash Gordon, the rock group Genesis in concert, and live band performances by Florida-based Rotagilla and folk singer George Ensle were just a sam- pling of the activities provided stu- dents through the year. Students received needed escape from studies in UC ' s programming. L.E.A.R.N. (Leisure Education; A Recreational Need) gave students a| chance to go to class purely for enter- tainment. Classes offered included cake decorating, camping and back- packing, chess and cooking. For those students with two left feet, there were classes in jitterbug, country and west- ern, belly, jazz and disco dancing. ! Films such as Coma, Heroes, and the Rocky Horror Picture Show were sponsored for students and fac- ulty for the price of $1 and a Tech ID. The UC arranged many special film presentations throughout the year. The Star Tech film festival explored science fiction films. The UC Film Festival gave amateur cinematogra- phers a chance to exhibit their work ini competition. Exhibits were constantly a part of the UC Courtyard. The Winter Sports | Exhibit displayed the gear and outer- wear for such sports as skiing. Career Day gave students a chance to ask questions of professionals in specific fields. For students interested in travelling abroad, the UC offered free travel counseling, international student ID cards and several travel workshops. In the fall, Jimmy Driftwood and the Travelling Ozark Folk Festival visited the UC, showing mountain arts and crafts to Tech students. Many made instruments and mountain folk songs unfamiliar to students. Other activities in the courtyard in- cluded several concerts and a Circus in the Courtyard. Chris Bliss along with the Harlequin Street Theater, presented acts involving juggling, magic and comedy for onlookers. Children were also considered, as the UC sponsored many programs for the younger generation. A Christmas program during which children decc rated a tree and received a visit from Santa Claus, and a spring kite-making program highlighted the year. The fine arts music, literature and visual arts were explored in many of the various programs. The Fall Festi- val of the Arts displayed many stu- dent as well as professional works of aft and handcraft items. For those interested in world events and issues, several forums on such to- pics as women ' s athletics and the world-at-large produced interesting commentaries by experts in various fields. When the students had the time, they found much entertainment and enjoyment in the variety of programs offered by the University Center. ID
