May Day week long activity Keeps The Campus Lovin Every Minute Of It No weekend can match the ac- tivities planned for May Day, and everyone agreed they were Lo- vin ' Every Minute of It in 1987. The week before was spent building up for the weekend. Common things on campus, changed shape. Monday night ' s dinner was turned into a Mexican fiesta, playing basketball in the PERC was turned into a tourna- ment of H-0-R-S-E, and racquet- ball on Wednesday night was turned into a tournament. There were special events planned for the week, like the Roommate game where nearly twenty couples competed for the prizes of May Day T-shirts. Also special was the Oaks sundae spe- cial and a cellar chocolate chip ice cream cookie sandwich, and a cellar variety show of skits and comedy with Todd Saylor. With the weekend came the trike race where participants were encouraged to dress for the occasion. Surprisingly enough, everyone did as executives, nuns, superfriends, and even death showed up. The May Day musical Babes in Arms, played Friday and Saturday nights to l arge audiences. The canoe race down the Kend- pocomoco started Saturday off early. At half past noon, the re- vived tradition of May Day Queen and King was awarded to Fresh- man Denise Jones and Junior Mark Schafer. That night the movie Jewel of the Nile played against the musical and was fol- lowed by a DJed dance. Sunday completed the excite- ment of May Day weekend for stu- dents and visiting alumni with the three mile run ending in front of the PERC. The great event of May Day, the littler 500 drew a crowd to the lower Union on an overcast and windy afternoon. By the last quarter of the race, it had begun to sprinkle making the track slick. Winners Bob Hatha- way and Kurt Zimmerman with Jon Pavey and Craig Hughes came through with the win. Rick Thompson, Dan Byler, Wangdi Sher- pa, and Pat Morgan made up the Wall Street Angels team. President Robinson presents Denise Jones and Mark Shafer as the May Day royalty. Sister Ric Cool cruises a lap of the tnke race. 22 May Day
