Gloria Gloria, the first hurricane to strike the area in almost a decade, inflicted se- vere damage on both the city and state. Despite the masking tape craze, broken glass littered streets from the North End to Brookline. Uprooted trees obstructed the paths of many vehi- cles, and smashed a lot of others. The wind measured over 100 m.p.h. and waves battered the shores and seaside homes, causing millions of dol- lars in damage statewide. But as all good students know, a phenomena of nature is a great rea- son for a party. On September 27, the last block of Beacon Street (between Mass Ave. and Charlesgate East) was a garden party for the BU dorm, MIT frats, the Crossroads crowd as well as Fensgaters and Charlesgaters. The unique weather conditions, the trashed environment and the day off attracted quite a large crowd of par- ty-goers. And as with any good party, it was over when the Boston Police and the National Guard showed up with the paddy wagons. Gloria 23

Harambi Welcomes Students The annual Harambi (Welcome) din- ner, an event designed to welcome new students to Emerson, was held at Charlesgate ' s Beige Room. The ceremony ' s cultural roots date back to Africa, when new children were welcomed into a tribe, boys were welcomed into manhood and hunters were welcomed back from a hunt. Although the dinner is open too all new students, there is usually a low non-minority turn out. However, it is hoped that this will change in the years to come. In addtion to the dinner, the 57 peo- ple who attended this year ' s October 20 edition were treated to poetry readings, dancing and theatrical performances. Harambi Dinner 25
