What could be more gorgeous than Clarion ' s electric river valley in au- tumn? Breathtaking! From high in the hills, or low in the valley, the County Courthouse is con- tinually scenic and majestic. Such beautiful scenes are common- place in Clarion during the fall season. Kevin P. Spark Clarion shines with beauty No matter what you think of Clarion during any other time, you have to appre- ciate its beauty in the fall. The Autumn Leaf Festival certainly heightens the an- ticipation towards this colorful season, and this year the weather was fabulous for the celebration, with sunny skies and low winds. But the festivities aren ' t the only thing that people enjoy. Clarion is an immense- ly scenic county - perfect for the Sunday afternoon sightseer. One of the most spectacular spots is the river valley area. The hills, meadows, and dense forests are teeming with wildlife, and the leaves on the trees display every color of the rain- bow. Consequently, this region is ex- tr emely popular to hunters, and especially to photographers. Some of the unofficial landmarks of Clarion are The Rock, the trestle, Cook Forest campground, and the ancient Indian remains along the river. What is unique about Clarion is its well- balanced mixture of rural and urban set- tings in such a small vicinity. It is a com- munity of great beauty and integrity - one that should be prided upon and main- tained. Speaking of which, the mainte- nance of Clarion in the fall is not an easy task, with the seemingly endless acres of leaves that, depending on your point of view, either enhance the atmosphere, or just plain clutter it up. But, whatever your views on leaf pol- lution are, you ' ll definitely know you ' ve taken the splendor of fall for granted when the harsh winter comes all too soon. - Mike Nellis 21

Clarion haunts the night away You knew that it must be Halloween that was approaching when Clarion stu- dents were seen boasting McBoos and McPunk ' ns . And as students carried these prized possessions home, decorat- ing was underway for October 31. Clarion ' s finest: witches, warlocks, vampires, monsters, and things came out to haunt the night away as they cele- brated from party to party. Leopards were spotted dancing with grapes, vam- pires cornering doctors, and monsters making an uproar at local fraternity houses, apartments and bars. It was a howl of a night! The Sequelle joined the spirit of things as well by sponsoring a Halloween C.A.B ' s. There was food and drinks and prizes for the most original, the scariest, prettiest and the best look-alike costumes. -Sharon Cooper 20 Ed Davies poses as a Fire Department Photographer at the first annual Se- quelle-Sponsored Halloween Dance. Freeze! Caught in the midst of some unique dance steps, Clarion University students strut their stuff. Congratulations.

Just like Mom ' s? Chandler Dining Hall is a place that will most likely not be forgotten for quite some time by any Clarion University stu- dent who has been there. Chandler is, of course, the cafeteria. While it has for many years been the butt of an array of jokes, Chandler is undergoing a variety of changes. The dining hall we eat in today is differ- ent from the one of the past, both visibly and not so visibly. This year heralded the arrival of a new ice cream dispenser that serves not one, not two, but three differ- ent kinds of ice cream, and another one is on order. Not so visibly, in the kitchen, all of the deep fat fryers, the grills and the steamers were replaced with new, mod- ern equipment. The previous ones were installed when the building was construct- ed. And, says Food Service director Earl Zerfoss, many more changes are in store. We ' re planning on replacing the drapes in the whole facility, as well as the furni- ture. He also added that the private din- ing area has some changes in store for it as well. We ' re going to redo the private dining area with carpeting and drapes to update it for Presidential functions or banquets. On the average, about five thousand students are served during a single day at Chandler, which is no small task. Mr. Zer- foss says he likes to try to have a variety on the menu. Many times a particular food doesn ' t go over too well, but when it does, he says he can ' t make enough of it. One example of this is the deli line, which this year has been expanded to two lines. Mr. Zerfoss also says that the two most popular foods of Clarion University stu- dents are SURPRISE! SURPRISE!: ham- burgers and pizza. Who could ever have guessed?? Obviously Clarion is a very tra- ditional school. It may not be like your mother ' s cook- ing (or maybe your mother can ' t cook?), but with new equipment and a variety of foods, the folks at Chandler are trying. -Joseph Barr 22 A f i , ..- Dennis Pollinger looks out from where lew have dared to venture At Club Chandler you often see diners going back lor seconds- even thirds Who will ever lorget the smiling laces ol the I D checkers at the door 9
