PARENTS’ WEEKEND ‘£ O lean your rooms. Parents' weekend begins Oc- tober 9th. For many students it was the first time since August they had seen their parents or cleaned their rooms. Orphan parties sprang up for those to celebrate the fact that their parents couldn't come to visit. Casino Night was ODU's answer to Atlantic City, in which parents and students gambled the night away in the Mid-Rise cafeteria. The following day families took a three hour relaxing cruise on the New Spirit ship from Norfolk's Waterside Festival Marketplace. Once aboard, families were entertained by the ODU Pep Band while viewing the scenic shoreline. by K. Hines S. Windisch BETH Cooley. Denise Bolos. Tekako Akagagi. sing and clap to the Pep Band music.

FIREWORKS are a popular event on Saturday night during Harborfest. Photo by C. Johnson WATERSIDE attracts artists as well as tourists as shown by Richard Hass' illusionistic art. Photo by J. Fisher The Harbor Gem of Norfolk Waterside Mall opened its plate-glass doors for business in June, 1983. Since then it has attracted locals and tourists alike to specialty shops and restaurants with waterfront views. Modelled after other inner-city harbor renovations; our own Waterside has outdoor dining and lounges, unique shopping, an aquarium display from ODU's oceanography department and fudge made while-u-wait! The facade facing the city features trompe I’oeil artwork by Richard Haas of New York. The success of the Waterside Mall has encouraged construction of hotels and other businesses in the waterfront area. Harborfest, one of Norfolk's most popular annual events, is held near waterside in Towne Point Park and Freemason Harbor. This year over 385 thousand people attended between June 5th, 6th and 7th to enjoy the festival. Fireworks and flyovers, boats and beer, music and madness all made Harborfest weekend unforgettable. by J. Fisher STUDENT LIFE 7
