CAB Brings Activities To Campus The Campus Activities Board, bet¬ ter known as CAB, saw to it that there was never a free, dull moment at Northern. The student run orga¬ nizations, designed to promote pro¬ grams and activities on campus, brought to ONU such events as Homecoming, Spring Week, Open Mic Nights, Sunday night movies, and had a hand in practically every¬ thing else that took place throughout the year. Early in January a Bingo Night was held in which students competed for prizes, and later a Monte Carlo Night was sponsored. An Open Mic Night during Little Sibs Weekend brought ONU talent to the stage for a 2 V 2 hour show, while Little Sibs Weekend also included a children ' s theatre production of Stomach-Ache, a dance, an Ice Cream Social, and two contests. An¬ other event which took place was ONU’s 4th annual Polar Bowl with 8 teams made up of 4 men and 4 women competing for the football¬ like winter championship. With Spring Week came the Not Necessar¬ ily A Concert, concert. The all day outdoor event featured 6 local bands, two of which were made up of ONU students. Thanks to CAB and other organizations on campus, students stayed busy throughout the year. 30 Student Life: CAB
