Perhaps these events are not so special at all. They are in reality just contributions to the academic and social spheres which exist in any college community. We often use the excuse that the cost of these events does not warrant participation when the truth may be in our inability to become part of an academic and intellectual community fearing that we can- not incorporate such activity into our social lives. Unfortunately, then we must title this year ' s events as peculiar which in a sense means that they are special. We look for- ward to the day that these events are no longer special and just a part of campus life. b.l.m. Campus entertainment this year has been characterized by a unique blend of imagina- tion and lack of money. The result was a conglomeration of free concerts, flea mar- kets, dances, contests, movies and free time. Reactions to the entertainment seemed to be mixed with indifference although a few interested individuals either condemned or com plimented the attempts of C.U.B. And, even, though Mansfield could not voice a claim to fame in the way of big name bands, many of the performances by tal- ented unknowns were well-attended and certainly talked about more favorably than the Sugarloaf concert last year. The movie orgies were fantastic since it provided a popular form of all-nighters. In general it could be said that although C.U.B. seemed to be lacking in the area of money, they cer- tainly made up for it with imagination. Un- fortunately, despite the accomplishments and criticisms of C.U.B. there is still next year— weekends to be planned for and crowds to contend with. j.l.b.
