D E S OF G K Winter Carnival Gannon Students Go Hawaiian Midway through the sec- ond semester, many stu- dents find themselves suf- fering from the winter blahs. This condition is caused by a combination of many factors including mid-semester exams, the difficulty of getting around in the snow and just the weather in general. In hopes of lifting the spirits of the Gannonites, the Stu- dent Government Associa- tion sponsors an annual dance. In past years, this event was held in February and termed the Winter Car- nival, but with the place- ment of Easter vacation, as well as mid-semester break, it was impossible to arrange the dance on such short notice. Instead, a dance with the theme of a Hawaiian Luau took place at the Quality Hotel. One major difference that occurred in this year's spring semester dance, be- sides the date being changed was the absence of candidates vying for the title of carnival queen. Be- cause of the confusion caused by the change of date, enough time was not available for organizations to choose a candidate and then, campaign sufficiently. Tables covered with ap- petizers including meat- balls and chicken nuggets were set up at various loca- tions in the ballroom. Thanks to the Student Gov- ernment Association, pop was also available at these refreshment tables. For students twenty-one and older, Quality Hotel em- ployees tended a few small bars where alcoholic bever- ages could be purchased. Even with the change in plans concerning the dance, the evening was a great success. Beth Pierce looks over the appe- tizers which were courtesy of the Student Government Association. Disc Jockey, Mark Reno, kept the Gannon students and their guests in high spirits hy playing popular music all evening long.
