Something for Everyone Q--f za. - --:! .... Getting involved! School is more than just classes and 'lhanging around, as the second annual Activi- ties Fair proved. Many of Bradley's countless clubs and organizations took part in the fair at the beginning of the fall semester, filling the student center ballroom with pamphlets, pos- ters, photo albums and students ea- ger to learn about their options. Repre- sentatives from various clubs were present to encourage students to take part in the activities. The students had the opportunity to ask questions about each club and begin deciding how to spend their free time: ACBU?? Intramurals? Religious organizations? Groups for minorities? Publications? Musical or service organizations? There were so many groups that one freshman suggested that the first week of school was already too busy and confusing without the fair. Nl did find out what was available, though, and that was good. l liked the free promo- tional stuff from Dave Sr Emie's and Domino's. Visitors left the fair looking forward to the activities ahead of them for the school year and, in many cases, wishing there was time to do it all. Top Left: But what does ACBU really do?
