The Athletic Department used the time to introduce its new director, JoAnn Pa- lazzo, to the students. They also took a survey of the sports activities students wanted to have available on campus. The Christian Fellowship provided infor- mation about off-campus worship ser- vices. The Law Society presented an im- portant issue on which the students had a chance to vote. The group provided scales in which the students dropped beads to show their support or non- sup- port for Supreme Court hopeful Robert Bork. The result was a definite no! Phi Gamma Nu, a business fraternity recruited new members as did the Black Student Union with their book entitled The Many Faces of Color. The Social Board presented a survey in order to gain an understanding of the kinds of activities students wished to see. Chat- ham News Update presented as video of students at work and play which was a real attention getter. The Chemistry So- ciety gave students a chance to win a pizza by guessing the names of chemical instruments. The Biology Society pro- vided a valuable source of information on AIDS. They presented a pamphlet and a questionnaire to measure students ' knowledge on the subject. The Corner- stone recruited new members and showed pictures of past activities on campus. The Chatham Recreation Asso- ciation livened up the fair by providing games for the students to play during lunch.
