1. :- t .f 9 Everywhere around there was talent. Everyone loves a picnic. Spring Week Did you ever dine al fresco dor- mitory style? Well, the students in the residence halls participated in such an event as part of the celebrae tions of Spring Week. Organized by the residence hall governments, Spr- ing Week was an effort to involve students in various activities. Students actively participated in the events. Munch-outs, formals and iceskating parties were some of the events available to everyone. A talent show was also presented as a part of the weeks activities. Com- edy sketches, dance, music and body exhibitions were some of the enter tainment available at the show. Game night became the highlight of the week. Students gathered to compete for prizes and fun. A com- raderie developed among the students and by the end of the com- petition each team Would cheer on the other. As the week progressed, it was evi- dent that Spring Week was a success. The hard work of each resident hall government had paid off in terms of increased student involvement in the dorm areas. - Laura J. Wolf Lifestyles 19 a

.. xx.n-Ut-te our-' Q9 1 m. -, u' This year's annual dorm contract camp-out, courtesy of Penn State University, was more intriguing than most. Students prepared to combat boredom at all costs. The standard backgammon board was found, along with frisbees, cards, and portable stereos. Sleeping bags and tents were seen in abundance, as the camp-out ritual began. Bitter cold weather forced the University to dismiss students the night before the contracts were to be accepted. Students were assigned a number, corresponding to their place in line, and asked to return the next morning. With the continuing high demand for residence hall housing, it appears that at least for the time being, camp- ing out for dorm contracts will be an annual event. U 18 Lifestyles e Laura J.

Dining Out When spring is in the downtown air, so is the aroma of the many local eateries. The temptation is irresisti- ble to students who have a weakness for pizza and are strolling past places like Brothers, Vesuvids and Hi-Way Pizza Pub. After a special dinner at the Train Station, the Arena or the Tavern, itis time for dessert at the Deli, or maybe some ice cream from Baskin Robbins or Dairy Queen. ltis no wonder downtown State College attracts so many people, and notjust students! Recently added to the every- gmwing list of dining places is a new Roy Rodgers on E. College Avenue. New, deciding where to go for a ham- burger and fries is even more dif- ficult! But, regardless of where Penn Staters order their snacks, they can enjoy their food and the beautiful weather on that allepurpose Spot: the Wall. w- Leslie Weiss Far right: Wheels lessen the distance between home and classes.
