his year marked the K.- , start of what may become an Emory tradition to rival the Hallow- een Ball or painting the SAE lion. Ok- toberfiesta was bom out of two previ- ously existing events and was meant to be a respite from a long Fall semes- ter. ln the past, the University Pro- gramming Council sponsored Fall Fiesta , a one or two day long event consisting of band parties, movies. and a few arcade-type tables. The Res- idence Hall Association had spon- sored OktoberFest , which was modeled after the Cremran celebra- tion of the same name. However, both events were something less than what each of the sponsors wanted. So, rep- resentatives of UPC and RHA got to- gether to to work out a joint program. coined OktoberFiesta. The first event of the week, on Mon- day October 19th, was the magician and illusionist, Bill Clary. Tuesday fea- tured a Mile Run through Lullwater Park with t-shirts given free to all par- ticipants. Runners solicited pledges others and the money was donated to Diabetes research. After the race run- ners and non-runners alike enjoyed ice cream on the terrace of the DUC.

The biggest event was on Friday as UPC Concerts brought the rock group Husker Du for a live concert on the upper field. opened by the Athens based band Love Tractor. Free beverages were provided by the Alcohol and Drug Education Committee. Saturday started bright and early with the RHA sponsored Color Wars. Hundreds of students participated in a variety of events including hot chick- en wing eating, egg tossing, and. of course, the most popular event of all . . . the jellowrestling! ln the end, un- fortunately, only one hall could win, and the winner lwith KA Margot Rog- ers literally screaming from the top of the hilli was McTyeire, although there was a notable performance by Yasho Lahiri as the hot chicken wing eater from Saunders. Gktoberfiesta con- cluded that night with a showing of Little Shop of Horrors. All who came with a potted plant were admit- ted free. To make it even easier, Circle K sold plants for S1 the day before the movie. All the plants were donated to the Wesley Woods Geriatric Hospital. And so the first Oktoberliiesta came to an end, perhaps the beginning of something that will be, in years to come, one of the hallmarks of the Emory calendar.

26 Features hat do you get when you add a dozen raisins, four playing cards, seven- teen vampires, the Dominoes Ploid, and one Starfleet officer? Nothing less than the Emory University Halloween Ball, of course. This years' Halloween Ball contin- ued the tradition of past years as thou- sands of Emory students converged on the Peachtree Plaza Hotel for a night of music and mayhem. The sixth annual Halloween Ball fea- tured a change from past Balls. ln the past, musicial entertainment has been provided by big name bands such as Otis Day and the Nights, the Ramones, and the Producers. This year, it was decided to chose two bands that played music that everyone could dance to. The opening band was the Piedmont Cooks, a group consisting mainly of Emory students, which electntied the capacity crowd with a variety of cover tunes and original songs, including REM's l'Superman. During the break between bands, UPC Special Events chairperson Kathi Wither- Rocking the night spoon conducted the traditional costume contest. Contestants included two groups of Califomia raisins, several Pee Wee Her- mans, several playing cards, a guy dressed as Scarlet O'Hara, and a Crest team. Thejudges chose the Crest team as Need a shock? One could find many at the annual Halloween Ball. the winner ofthe group prize and one of the Pee Wee Hermans was chosen as the winner of the individual prize. After the break, the music resumed with the reggaefrock sounds of the Sun Mes- sengers. As the Ball ended, hundreds of students crowded the hotel's elevators in an at- tempt to reach rooms they had reserved. The huge number of students prompted the hotel management to attempt to re- strict the flow of students to the upper floors. The backup at the elevators caused an elevator ride that nomially took 50 seconds to take 50-40 minutes. Although several students were asked to leave the hotel because of complaints from other guests, most students thought that this year's Ball was one of the best they had attended. Senior Kurt Thomas summed up the thoughts of many who attended: lt was a great idea to have an Emory band play the Ball. The Piedmont Cooks rocked my costume off. When asked what he thought of the Halloween Ball overall, Thomas replied, lt was a lot of fun . . . the Peachtree was really nice. Mitchell Leff.
