elighted Moms are greeted with much to do and see Oregon State moms may have gotten a true sense of campus during Mom's Weekend in more ways than one. Sweeping into town in the first weekend of May. mothers peered up at a sky which promised sun and threatened rain in the same moment. Yet, the gray above didn't seem to slow any motherly heels from heartily stepping around campus to check things out. Many mothers adorned with “OSU MOM” buttons from Mom's Club Registration, were seated in classes with their son or daughter on Friday. The Memorial Union Program Council, without competition from a musical concert that typically is in town for the weekend, entertained moms on stage with a large comedy show. Featuring funny man Dave Anderson from Dad's Weekend and three other comics, the show prompted quite a few giggles inside the walls of La Salle Stewart Center. It was flowers and “faire goodies that greeted OSU moms during Saturday on campus. New for this year was the MUPC Home and Garden Show in the quad where moms with a green thumb could pick up a complimentary carnation and check out demonstrations on flower arranging. The traditional MUPC Renaissance Faire on the MU Brick Mall was a collection of arts and crafts booths with food booths scattered in between. Moms could purchase pottery bowls or paintings while sampling spicy spring rolls or frozen yogurt. “My mom really likes crafty-stuff like that.” remarked Wendi Anderson, junior in English. “And 1 noticed that they had more booths this year. We enjoyed the Faire a lot.” If moms preferred a birds-eye view of campus, the opportunity was there with hot air balloon rides centered in the middle of the quad care of MUPC. However, for moms with acrophobia, there was also the slow turn of wheels and clip-clop of horses on the carriage rides which circled campus. Moms with an eye for clothing and style checked out the MUPC Fashion Show held in the MU Ballroom. In the MU Lounge, scones and tea were served to mothers serenaded by harp music during the MUPC Spring Tea. ”1 was very pleased with what MUPC did on Mom's Weekend,” said Jason Elms, Executive Director of Mom's Weekend. “Planning the weekend, 1 wanted to do something for my mom because of all the things she’s done for me.” Saturday evening held the Cinco de Mayo Festival in the Ballroom and the MUPC Milam Movie showing of the fanciful “Aladdin.” Over at Gill, the annual IFC Sing, a competition between sing and dance groups from the Greek houses, was held to the delight of students and moms as well. So, the skies may have been dark, but spirits were far from gray for cither mothers or students.‘W Alexi Bartlett Karen Anderson, of San Francisco, performs for students and moms during the MUPC sponsored comedy show.
