Maasquerade has been a well- attended, long-running SAC event which always proves to be a huge success. This year's Maasquerade was no exception, as nearly five hundred people, all in costume, arrived at the Maas Center on Oc- tober 22nd. The dance was unique this year in that SAC hired a D.J. who supplied both music and videos entertainment, riot only did the participants enjoy good music, but they also got to watch the latest videos on a big screen T.V. A costume judging occurcd during the evening, in which prizes, generously donated by lo- cal businesses, were awarded to those with the best costumes in different categories.
