TUDENTS ATTE D CONFERE CE The Seeds of Leadership Conference was held Sept. 5-7 at Bradford Woods and was sponsored by the Student Ac- tivities Office at IUPUI. An invitation was sent to all the IU campuses to meet and discuss various problems with each school's activities. IUK Stu- dent Activities Director Butch Griffin took student leaders Barb Kleinfelter, Lewie Campbell, and lill Babcock to re- present the IUK campus and find ways to improve the student activities here. BThe program was well rounded ex- cept that we needed a workshop on volunteer recruitment, stated Butch Griffin. jill Babcock said 'lwe really 3:1 FAS needed one on Volunteer Recruitment. l know there are people at lUK who are willing to volunteer at least a little of their time, but somehow we aren't reaching them. Those who went learned valuable information to help their student activ- ities' problems and also aid the other campuses with possible solutions. Lewie Campbell commented, llMy ex- perience at Bradford Woods has helped me to get a better perspective on what the problems of our campuses are, as well as what the problems are at the other campuses.

Gambling Extravaganza Sinful but Fun The IUK Student Senate held their annual Monte Carlo Night this year on February 15 at 7:30 in the IUK student commons. The senate's preparations for this brilliant extravaganza began several months before with the senators contacting local businesses for the do- nation of prizes. Aside from contacting businesses, the senators also spent several meetings planning and prepar- ing for Monte Carlo Night. Student senator, Laura Hamren, was elected chairperson of the Monte Carlo Night decorations committee. Together with senators Larry East, loe Dishon, Tony Needler, student body president Becky lFederspillJ Thompson, and student senate president Terry Tidler, she created the hottest casino this side of corruption. The mystical shapes of the heart, spade, club, and diamond were suspended from the ceiling-while the King and Queen of Hearts and the Ace of Spades hung ominously above the Black lack tables. All night long the casino echoed the voice of an announcer as he called off the events of ongoing horse races in NAI! 'S ,Q 1-lzxn mx Can I come out now? Tony Needler asks from his vantage point behind the ticket counter. the back room of the commons. The audience at the 'lDerby could be heard cheering their favorite horses on to victory, As l'Nudist Colony over- took UStray-Dog in the fourth turn, mass hysteria broke loose in the stands, but when the winner crossed the finish line, things again abated to a calm with those holding the winning tickets returning to the cashier's win- dow to collect their winnings. Meanwhile those at the Chuck-a- luck game were finding themselves incessently frustrated by the probabilities and sequences of the dice. Those at the poker tables discovered they needed to seriously consider joining Gambler's Anony- mous, while those at the Roulette ta- bles prayed for their lucky number. As one moved into Derby Downs Night Club, the enchantment of the evening was further increased. The Derby presented such entertainment as Hank Merrill, l'Mad Dog Matis and Brian Reith. Along with the free enter- tainment went free food and drinks. As evening wound down and the auction began, those Ulucky gamblers qi Q QV: X .X t 9 15? Brian Reith entertains Information Services Director Olivia Maddox discovered the fruits of their hours of labor at chance games. Every item that was donated by area merchants was auctioned off to the highest bidder, and those who had successfully taken the biggest gambles won the best prizes. Some of the gifts went for prices as high as 546,000, which is quite remarkable since each player that night received 52,500 to start with. After the last item was auctioned off, the crowd dispersed, leaving a handful of senators and friends in the cluttered casino. They immediately fired up the jukebox and began to dis- mantle the casino and return the stu- dent commons to it's original condi- tion. After several hours of moving furniture and sweeping floors, they finally succeeded in restoring the commons back to normal. When IUK student Lanette Fry was asked about her feelings on Monte Carlo Night, she responded, Everyone I talked to said they had a good time. Brian Wright added, ul can't believe what it feels like to have 530,000 in my pocket-l mean talk about a feeling of power. - al ...F -li gg- magic tricks during his Derby Club perfom1ance. r Q. E
