The experience of college life is something that stu- dents often try to explain to family member, yet parents who did not attend college or have forgotten what life in college was like can ' t fully comprehend this envi- ronment, if only for one day. Georgia Southern adminis- trators, not wanting parents to be left out of this expen- sive yet value shaping or al- tering experience, have set aside a day for just this. Parent ' s Day, October 3, 1987, was full of traditional college activities. Parents at- tended a football game be- tween GSC and Central Flor- ida. After the game families were encouraged to attend a speech given by President Nicholas Henry. Following this speech there was a bar- becue. To cap this eventful day a movie was shown was offered to those who hadn ' t already left. ■ JnfiL Desmond Duval Eagle fans were not disappointed as GSC defeated Central Florida 34-32 on Parent ' s Day. Parents were invited to feast at a Southern barbecue. 8 Parent ' s Day Student Life
