Late nighter tops list Of councirs activities What weighed 3,000 pounds, had a temperature of not more than 32 degrees and occupied a 1,500-gallon hot tub? Give up? It was the Texas-size ice cream sun- dae constructed by members of the University Center ' s Program Council during the DC Late Nighter Sept. 19. The sundae was an attempt to set a world ' s record for the largest ice cream sundae, but fell short by some 9,000 pounds. Also featured at the Late Nighter were such events as Vend-O-Kill, during which students paid to destroy a vending machine with a sledgehammer, a trivia contest, a paper airplane flying contest and a peanut-butter and jelly sandwich eating contest. Musical enter- tainment was provided during the night by the junior Vasquez Band and Gary P. Nunn. The Late Nighter highlighted a week entitled the UC Perfect 10. Perfect 10 week, from Sept. 10 to Sept. 19, brought 10 exciting days of fun and entertaining events to Tech, according to Brenda Hearnsberger, chairman. Hopefully, the Perfect 10, especially the Late Nighter, will provide an oppor- tunity for students and organizations to work together constructively and to have a lot of fun, Hearnsberger com- mented. Besides the Late Nighter, other activities and events of the week includ- ed a sidewalk serenade, free watermelon, feature films and a pool demonstration by a trick shot artist. Perfect 10 week was a part of the ac- tivities sponsored by students on the UC Programs Council. Another popular program was the University Forums (au- dience participation debates). University Forums became the center of con- troversy more than once with such topics as secular humanism and the teaching of creationism in school. We would put on a forum and then the campus would react for a week or two afterwards with letters in the newspaper and the like, Marianne Barr, coordinator for the council, said Barr and Tom Nye, assistant coor- dinator, worked with some 100 other students on 10 committees to plan and implement the year ' s events. The committees were Fine Arts, Travel, Cultural Exchange, Ideas and Issues, Films, L.E.A.R N., Video Tape, Entertainment, Recreation and Special Programs The students on the council worked a total of about 400 hours per week. We have a council meeting every week on Wednesday, during which each committee chairman gives a report on what his committee is doing Anything that is going to be done that will cost over $10 must be brought to the council and approved, Barr said. As coordinator, my job is to make sure everything runs smoothly on the various committees, she added. 1.
