The president’s picnic, a most. . . — ■ 1 ' Enjoyable Tradition Everything seemed to be in order — the tents were up. music was blaring, the shuttle buses were running, and people were mingling. Yes. all of the activities unique to the annual President’s Picnic were present, well no. not exactly. As stated before everything SEEMED to be In order, yet something was missing. On the surface everything was fine, but what was the catch this year? No upperclassmen. The President's Picnic was held before the upperclassmen were scheduled to come back to school. When one walked around the familiar grass, and the balcony of the Law School library, it was very obvious that most of the faces were new and unfamiliar. Of course there were a few upperclassmen, those that remained for one reason or another, but the old tradition of seeing a lot of friends before the hectic start of the new year was gone. Whatever conclusions one may draw, the President’s Picnic is still one of the highlights at Howard University, allowing faculty, administrators and students to interact on an informal, relaxed, basis. And at this year’s picnic, even with the rain and lack of upperclassmen, it was still an enjoyable tradition. — Tarah Hargo — Talking to friends and dancing under the lent are synonymous w h the President's annual picnic The t ucotwiog ram didn't dampen the fcstiu.il at mosphere unit alter the picnic vu-as over President's Picnic 21
