'lu-hx 2, wr Q, I -I ---.sie W msW,qQ,.s. ..-.m.,,,,,x Bradley Honors Dads During F II Weekend By Rodney Peralta Love, curiosity, and the engagement in a good time brought over 500 parents to Bradley's 52nd annual Parents' Weekend in honor of dads on October 24th and 25th. Sponsored by the Bradley Parents' Association, Parents' Weekend showed many first-time weekenders the environ- ment in which their sons or daughters live when not at home. The weekend started early Saturday morning with a complimentary breakfast for parents and students at the Student Center. After breakfast parents were giv- en the opportunity to meet with represen- tatives of Bradley's seven colleges and selected offices. Afternoon activities started in the Student Center Ballroom with a performance of the Chorale and speeches by Student- body President Mike Ftogowski, John Boyer, president of the Parents' Associ- ationg and Dr. Hitt, provost and vice-presi- dent of Academic Affairs. Conducted by Dr. John Davis, the Chorale's five song performance was excellent and received a standing ovation by the capacity crowd at the end of the performance. The three speeches told parents about students' feeling toward college, the functions of the Parents' Association, and the accom- plishment of Bradley students and facul- ty. The gathering ended with Bruce Druckenmiller from St. Louis, a long-time associate of Bradley, being named Father of the Year. Following an eventful morning, lunch was the next item on the agenda. Many par- ents were seen eating with their children in the cafeterias. With lunch out of the way, spending time with sons and daugh- ters was next. ln their free time between the band per- formance in the Student Center, the play Night Must Fall presented by B.U. the- ater, and By George, an original Gershwin review, parents were given the opportuni- ty to see the campus, meet their son's or daughter's friends, and see the city of Peoria. lt was also during this time that students opened care packages and were taken to the mall for much needed items. lf all the activities the school provided were not enough, fraternities and sorori- ties provided more. The houses were open for parents to view and enjoy their hospitality. Parents' Weekend concluded with an 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. brunch at the Wharf Res- taurant. Good-bye is always hard to say, but many parents said good-bye with renewed confidence that their sons or daughters were okay at Bradley. Par- ents left with questions answered, curiosi- ties fulltilled, the joy of seeing their child again, and good memories of the time they spent at Bradley University.
