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.

JAMMIN’! The band Graffitti played to an enthusiastic crowd in the Academic Quad for about four hours. The crowd jammed with such favorites as “Magic Carpet Ride”, “Tempted”, “Born to be Wild”, and “Comfortably Numb”. “Graffitti was awesome!” Wendi Bryant said, “We danced barefoot and I had two dates, but everyone seemed sort of mellow.” After the show the band walked around campus meeting and talking to the students. Even Dr. Wireman showed up with his dog to listen to the music. Wendi Bryant and Clare McClure both agreed that the Gootmon Sauerkraut band was one of their favorites. “We had an awesome time. The band played “In Heaven We Have No Beer, That’s Why We Drink It Here”, we danced the little duck song and the band was really cool — the little fat men playing their tubas and horns. It was fun square dancing and the food that SAGA cooked was awesome, for once.” All in all, everyone seemed Queens students gather in the Quad and wait for Graffitti to begin the lawn concert. to have a fantastic Octoberfest Weekend. As Stephanie Sabo put it, “It was a wild, drunken weekend.” Adrienne McCormick jams to the music of Graffitti at Sunday’s lawn concert. 24
