 PARENTS WEEKEND Parents weekend this year was October 30, 31, and November 1. There was a pretty good turnout considering a last minute date change. Barbara Bucher was just one of the students whose parents came up for the weekend. “I think it’s good having it at the beginning of the year so they know what you’re talking about the rest of the year,” Barbara Bucher said, “But we didn’t do many of the planned activities except for meeting the teachers and they loved that.” Some of the activities planned were a reception at Dr. Wireman’s house, a Halloween costume party, and NBA basketball game meeting the teachers in the academic Quad, and chapel service Sunday Morning. “Parents weekend was really cool because I hadn’t seen my parents in so long. I especially enjoyed Queens’ well structured schedule,” Erika Carlson said. One highlight of the parents coming to visit Queens was getting to meet their daughters' friends. “I’m glad my parents had a chance to meet my friends’ parents. We went out to eat at Nakato’s with my sorority big sister’s parents. That was so much fun.” Laura Eberhardt said. Overall, it was an awesome weekend.

 4 IP Uf 'ZOtt i ‘Tftcteic: The Queens College Players, directed by Jane Hadley, staged as their Fall Drama Production the play “Family”. The play was a moving, funny, and thought-provoking study in the nature of women in, what else, families! — and played to large audiences during its run from November 12th to the 15th. The production was also one with music, utilizing not only the wonderful abilities of Julie Waldrup as cantor, but the singing talents of many other actresses on campus such as seniors Claire Finley and Lesa Pittman, and underclassmen Sally Wheeler and Katie Downey as well. The show was a technical nightmare — very complicated to say the least. With the hard work of Jane Hadley and scenic designer Doug Minnerly, the stage was incredibly transformed through different planes and levels to suggest the interior of a large house on the small stage in Suzanne Little Recital Hall. The hours spent in rehearsal for “Family” were beyond the normally hectic schedules of most other productions, and the large cast did indeed become a sort of family in sharing late-night food runs, homework hassles, or general life problems; all during the rehearsal process. The play was one of, at times, murky understanding, but one thing was clear, the show was certainly a great success for the Queen Drama Department. 130
