Staff makes campus life fun by Janet Campbell Enthusiastic people and additional activities at the Nelson Student Cen- ter and resident halls made life on campus more fun. According to Carriasco McGilbra, director of auxiliary services, two of the people who deserve recognition are Sharella Jennings and Gary DuBois, resident managers. Jennings aided the students in the new dor- mitory, which housed 80 students, while DuBois watched over the 20 oc- cupants of Tiger Hall. They are the ones who ran the dormitories, I just oversaw them, McGilbra said. If they have any problems, I take them to Dean Scott. Betty Swartz ran the bookstore and sold T-shirts, sweaters, and back- packs, which were added tothe store this year. Orders for logging suits were also taken. I think we worked with the teachers more this year, Swartz said. We tried to get textbooks and supplies quicker. That's important. Another important iob was done by Grace McGilbra, who helped her husband Carriasco by organizing the electronic game rooms added this year to the lower level of the dor- mitory. The eleven games, including pinball and automatic ping-pong, were made available through a per- centage lease. It was a real improvement, said Jacque Brunk, student. It got things out of my system. McGilbra agreed, adding It's been a good activity for the students. It provided a way to unwind after studying for tests. There were pretty good reactions. Students also had good reactions to the food service offered to them. Jim Jarreau, food service manager, brought some new ideas to the cafeteria. The maior change was the con- tinental breakfast, Jarreau said. It extended the breakfast time about an hour. People who didn't want to get up early didn't have to. Jarreau changed the menus to make sure the students got what they wanted to eat. I took the menus from the past two years and pitched them, he said. I kept records of what was liked and what was thrown away, and I made a list of menus that were pretty good. To ensure that the students liked the food, Jarreau added different menus to the regular meals. Bar- becaues, Mexican food, hot soup and chili feeds helped make dinner time special. He initiated tournaments for students, and set up an apple- bobbing contest at Halloween. He said he did all that because he likes meals to be fun. My policy is, 'We will try anything once,' but in the same light, I will not stick to something iust because I think it's right, Jarreau said. If it fails, it's gone, but I'm willing to bet that the students are satisfied. WATCHING OVER IT ALL - Grace and Carriasco McGilbra work together to supervise o pool tournament, one of the many activities that took place in the Nelson Student Center this year. iPhoto by Jim Kerri ...Wg REPLAYfThey Make It Happen I5

Dance draws out odd characters by Pat Jordan Arkalalah wasn't the only autumn activity that drew a big response from CCCC students. The masquerade dan- ce received plenty of help not only from planners, but from participants as well. The dance, sponsored by the Student Government Association KSGAJ, attracted students in dozens of imaginative costumes, and according to Julie Tieperman, SGA president, the event was a success. It seemed like nearly everybody in the school came to the dance, Tieperman said. It was a lot of fun.' While students danced to the latest records, their outfits were being scrutinized by a panel of judges, who were seeking prize winners for the most original, most comical, and most frightening costumes. Tieperman said it was hard to pick winners, as most of the getups were quite creative. We had people dressed like everything from mimes to flashers to Raggedy Ann dolls, she said. They really outdid themselves this year. With all this happening up front, not many people thought about the behind the scenes preparations. I iust want to thank Jim Jarreau and everyone else who helped make it possible, Tieperman said. I'm iust really gladithat people were willing to give their time. It was just great. - l..'U
