AAII, Xft, KA, t M! Sunday was the big day. The day where the rushees would decide which house to pledge. Sunday parties were the most sentimental. Amanda Knox was “sure” when she left the house. Sunday night the girls ran down to the houses after they received their bids. “Bid Night was by far my favorite part,” Julie Thomas said. But most everyone’s favorite part, as Adrienne McCormick said, “the skits and the food definitely the best!” (opposite page) Marion Huntly hold up the A D Pi bid night t-shirts.

Octoberfest weekend was held October lst-4th. It started off with a bang when the Gootmon Sauerkraut band played to an enthusiastic crowd in the Dorm Quad. German food, such as sausages and sauerkraut, was served in the quad. For dessert, Haagen Daz ice cream set up a booth for their hand dipped ice cream bars. “It was fun,” Beth Yeatts commented about Thursday’s festivities, “we got to do the chicken dance, it was cool, even though we looked a little funny doing it!” The next night, movies were shown in the movie room in Wallace Dorm. “Friday the 13th” was one of the movies shown. On Saturday, the dance was held in Morrison dining hall. FALLING Entertainment was provided by the Cruismatics. Erika Carlson says that this Octoberfest dance is one that she will always remember: “It’s a definite memory since my date, Bill Sutton, was inebriated and well acquainted with the men’s coat room in Harris Dorm, but the tunes were good.” Nolie Spencer liked the dance, besides the fact that there wasn’t a very good turnout. “I wish there had been a better turn out, ” she commented, “It would have been more fun but only about six couples showed up.” The highlight of the weekend for many of the Queens students was the lawn concert on Sunday afternoon. “I really loved the band and being with my friends,” Joy Plemmons said.
