The Fall Concert Campus Center Program Com- mittee sponsored their annual fall concert on September 12, 1986. Originally scheduled to be held behind the Campus Center, the impending threat of rain brought the concert inside the Commuter Cafeteria. But even this last minute change of loca- tion did not dampen a great performance. The concert featured Human Factor , a Hartford-based band who played many cover songs as well as some of their own original songs. Human Factor ' s first set contained several older Police tunes, some Prince as well as Ain ' t Nobody by Rufus and Chaka Khan. The second set of more Police songs, several originals, and blistering version of Inxs ' What You Need. Despite Mother Nature ' s contribution to weeks of planning, the Fall Concert was a great success. Decorations went up, balloons passed out, and food was cooked under the ledges of the caferteria roof. The only thing missing was the ants in the grass!! People danced and bopped around the Commuter Cafeteria to the highly energetic sound of Human Factor. The turnout for the event was only slightly less than usual, and everyone at- tending enjoyed themselves. The hard work of the Program Committee was not in vain as the annual Fall Concert prov- ed to be a blast! Donna Boudreau 23

Displaying a natural friendiness and enthusiasm, members of the Program Committee, Jane Flynn, Peg Corbett, Donna Boudreau, Karen Walton, and Bonnie MacDougall manned a table in the Ballroom. Open House O verwhelming is definitely the word to use. This year ' s Open House was an enormous suc- cess, says Dr. Gerard In- delicato, President, describing the tur- nout of parents and prospective students who came to Bridgewater for the annual fall Open House. A crowd estimated at 3,500 people spent Sunday afternoon, November 16, taking bus tours of the campus, atten- ding admissions and financial aid infor- mation sessions, and visiting with pro- fessors, students, and administrators at various displays and booths set up in the ARCC Ballroom. Traffic at one point was tied up well back on Route 24 and the campus park- ing lots were quickly filled. Guests began began arriving shortly before noon, even though Open House did not begin until 1:00 p.m. By the time Open House was finished at 4:00p.m., the consensus was that this was by far the most successful ever. President Indelicato, who greeted parents and students at each Information Session, (where there was standing room only ) said, Admission to Bridgewater is very competitive. The at- tendance today gives you some idea just how competitive. We are committed to becoming the best state college in We ' re very, very pleased with the turnout, Dean of Admissions said, surveying the large crowds which packed the ARCC Ballroom. And I think our faculty, students and staff did a fine job of making people feel welcome and providing them with useful information. I think students and their families thinking about college got a good idea of the kind of school Bridgewater is, said Indelicato. The warmth and pride they saw and felt from our faculty, students, and administrators is genuine. They got an accurate impression of how special this campus really is. 24
