Several students participate in the paint-a-pot ac- tivity in the Art Center of Oglesby Union. The pot- teiy is given to students at no charge. Students have the opportunity to express their artistic flare with several colored glazes. The pots are fired for free and available for pick up within a week. It provides a great outlet for the artist with shallow pockets. by Charlotte Zubizarreta| For the last three years, Florida State University welcomed back students with Seminole Sensation Week, a week of great activi- ties and events sponsored by the Union Student Activities, Resi- dence Life, Thagard Health Center, Dean of Students, Campus| Recreation, and Academic Affairs. Seminole Sensation Week hasf been a tradition for three years now, with the amount of attendeesl increasing every year. All the activities are free for students andj range from Breakfast for a Buck to concerts like Jimmy Eat World.| Also, there are opportunities for students to learn different types of talents and skills, such as salsa dancing. Some of the other events offered included dinner and a movie on! Union Green, Inflatable carnivals, and a Lego Block Party. Also,! Seminole Sensation Week gave students an opportunity to learnj more about Florida State, its campus, and fellow students. It evenj presented the opportunity for students to meet up with advisors.j One of the main highlights was a Day at the Rez where stu- dents went to the Rez for a day and enjoyed some sand, sun,| and sports by the lake. Also, every year a comedian or performer has been brought in to do a show just for Florida State students.| Last year, it was Jimmy Eat World. This year, it was comedian K1 Tatara and country singer Chris Cagle. Some of the other events offered included: Karaoke at the Club Down Under, Hip Hop Clut Break-dancing, Spades Tournaments, Blacklight Sidewalk Chalk,| Cosmic Bowling and Billiards, and a Water Balloon Challenge,! among others. The week ended with the Seminole Uprising, which was basi- cally a pep rally. It got all the students together and went over the traditional chants and cheers, brought out the sports teams and coaches, and created a general excitement for the year to come. Seminole Sensation Week ' s biggest event is the concert held on Friday. The concert is held on the Union Green, and it is free to students and locals. The 2006 guest was none other than country star Chris Cagle. Past per- formers have included Jimmy Eat World, Underoath, Hoobastank, and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.
