Some things at Manchester are as pre- dictable as a sunrise or the changing of the seasons. Camp Mack Day is one of those predictable traditions. This year ' s event was no exception. Overshadowing the day was the tradi- tional inclement weather and the last min- ute decision as to whether classes or Camp Mack would be held. The stillness of the bells at 7:30 a.m. gave students the good news that a fun-filled day was ahead of them as they headed out to Camp Mack located near Milford, Indiana. The traditional drizzle was also accompa- nied by the traditional Tug-Of-War, the ever-popular Softball game, and the volley- ball tournaments. Canoeing on Lake Wau- bee and four-square games were also favor- ites of the day. Spectators watch as Dave Schultz and Annette Theis battle for the four- square champ title.

A combination of something old and something new: Parents ' and Friends ' Weekends provided Manchester students with the opportunity to share with family and friends the routine of college life as well as special activities planned just for them. For the many new students, this served as an initial blending of their new role as college student and previously- held roles known to parents and home- town friends. Parents ' Weekend ushered in the month of October. Friday evening welcomed par- ents with a kick-off dinner in the Union Cafeteria. Later that evening, parents and students applauded Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie, and feasted on nachos in the Cellar. Saturday featured the traditional President ' s Reception and Coffee with the Professors in the Cellar. Parents Weekend came to a close Sunday with a plant show sponsored by the Career Office. Friends ' Weekend, November 4-6, sug- gested that Friends Add Magic to Your Life. After registration and dinner, friends and students played free video games and billiards at the Open Union and danced to music by WMEE ' s d.j. Tony Richards. Saturday highlighted the week- end as Dick Stoner fascinated all with magic in the afternoon. The Cellar served hot pretzels, and invited friends to join in a late-night scavenger hunt. Sunday Cele- bration and the Manchester Symphony Orchestra Concert concluded a magical weekend. On Friends ' Weekend, Jill Yost and Tonnya Keller discover that making hot pretzels is as much fun as eating them.
