Dave De- Lorenzo, SGO president, makes a routine announcement about the upcoming book sale. Although interruptions in the music were sometimes greeted with snickers, boos, and laughter, this PA system was a quick, easy way to let students in on what was happening. Happen hey represented us, they enter- tained us, and they had fun in the pro- cess. Both the SGO, Student Govern- ment Organization, and the SAB, Stu- dent Activities Board, were made up of those elected by the student body. These elite clubs brought Cayuga C3 into the community and in the process brought the community to Cayuga C3. Two of the affairs sponsored by the SAB were the showing of monthly movies in the college auditorium and that array of cultural events, the Folk Art Festival. The festival ran for a to- tal of three days and attracted local craftsmen who beautifully displayed their art. The movies included the pop- ular One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Dog Day Afternoon, and Gumball Rally. By moving their gatherings to the student lounge, the SGO's senate meet- ings had 100 percent attendance. With everyone welcome, 250 people showed up at their third meeting. Those with voting rights were the club presidents and representatives, and they brought to the calendar such events as the adop- tion of a child and the greased pig contest. Just think: Without the SAB, every- one would have paid S3 for a movie which at the college cost only 75 dg and without the SGO, psychology Pro- fessor Don Sanzotta wouldnit have slid through the mud after Helen Ham.

Ll Bringing a variety of events and popular parties, the Vet's Club was open to all, having both vets and nonveterans as members. Participants in this well-known group had high morale and energy and kept them- selves involved in many college activi- ties. One of their events, The Gong Showj' was held on April 28, 1977. Although at first there was little out- side interest and no auditions because uno one showed up, the night of the show brought 13 acts. It also brought a packed auditorium with people of all ages smushed against the walls, squat- ting in the aisles, and freezing in lines that trailed out the doors. The club's hard work to get the show ready, their worrying about who was going to do the entertaining, and their publications, all payed off- as the audience broke in- to tears of laughter, yelled gong 40 Vet's Club 'em! , or applauded loudly. Just as The Gong Show was open to the public, many of the club's other activities were of benefit to the com- munity. The gym turned into a hospi- tal for two days in March as the Vets sponsored the annual Bloodmobile. Students and faculty competed to see which group could donate the greatest number of pints. The students won and received half of a day off as a re- ward. BOCES fBoard of Occupational Co- operation Educational Schoolsl special education students came to Cayuga for the annual Christmas party held in the cafeteria. There were refreshments, presents, and entertainment for every- one, with much of it donated by area merchants. At the end of the year, the Vets took leftover money and did some- thing tor themselves. This meant a social to end all socials, with kegs in supply until they ran out of money or got tired of partying, whichever came first. Their Go for Broke kegger was held in Sterling, N.Y., and lasted three full days. Tents were set CHILDREN CLUSTER 'ROUND as Larry Brown dons a red suit and passes out pres- ents. The Vet's Club expressed special ap- preciation to McDonalds, Barkers, K-Mart, and Neisners, who donated most of the food and gifts needed to make the party a success Full of Surprises! , 55 jew, H 1 ,pw 'A I ?Qia.. u p on the front lawn to acco modate the extra people, and everyone had a good time cele brating their accomplishments YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE DANCING!
