Dad’s Weekend On Friday, October 25th, thousands of Dads traveled from around the country to participate in many fun filled events. The kick off for Dad's Weekend 2002 included pizza and free drinks in the Memorial Union quad, soccer games, and movies. D.L. Hughley, who stars in the well known sitcom The Hugh ley's on UPN, also presented a memorable comedy show in Gill coliseum. Prior to Saturday's football game, Oregon State held the first annual Strong Man Contest, hosted by Pikoboy Strength Company. The contest included a truck pull and log toss, along with many other strenuous activities. Showing their support for the Beaver football team, many Dad's joined their son or daughter and attended the game against California. OSU defeated the Bears 24-13. For those unable to attend the football game, there was an Ultimate Tailgater held in the Reiser parking lot. The event started at 10am and went through Saturday's game against University of California. The Memorial Union quad also featured a variety of games, root beer floats, miniture golf, a look alike contest. Who's your Daddy game show, and glow bowling in the Memorial Union Recreational Center, making the 2002 Oregon State Dad's Weekend a lot of fun and a complete success.

Mother's show their kids what they can Ret them for Mother's Day at the arts and craft booths in the MU Quad. Photo by Casey Camptx-tl Mom's Weekend ■ Mom's weekend was full of many activities, something for every mom and every desire. There was a Fashion Show in the MU ballroom, pottery sale in the quad, special dinners, movies, etc. David Spade, former ’Saturday Night Live’ and Just Shoot Me’ star came to entertain Mom's on Friday night, with his infamous dry humor, renowned wit and guilty boyish grin. This guy earned his living by poking fun at everything. Many may remember him from his role in Joe Dirt”. If David Spade wasn't your thing, other options were available such as My Big Fat Greek Wedding playing in the MU, bowling, open rec. at Dixon, and Latin night at Club Escape. Saturday was filling with many more activities. Moms were invited to the MU to get pampered, watch Cool Shoes perform, play Vo Mama Game Show , walk around the renaissance Faire, and look at the art, gifts, and crafts, along with many other activities happening around campus. Saturday evening many came together to watch fraternities, sororities, and other living groups perform in All-University Sing. Mom's weekend was a huge success. Mom's came from all over to spend time with their son's and daughters the weekend before Mother's Day. Story by Mandi Downs 11 ♦ student life
