Crowd enjoys Regatta through music. fun and beverage consumption Small group enjoys quietness as Regatta roars beyond. Sailing provides relaxing alternative to Regatta acrivines. Phalagmpby by Karen Wanner. ore Than Ever Before by Leanne Peterson What prompted a mass exodus from State College to Stone Valley on April 27? The an- nual Sy Barash Regatta. Beta Sigma Beta and Sigma Delta Tau sponsored the day of fun in memory of Sy Barash, who died seven years ago. The $22,000 raised for the American Cancer Society more than doubled last year's total. Under sunny skies, with live music in the background, everyone relaxed. But if you were representing Kappa Kappa Gamma, Sigma Nu, Smith and Smith or Tener Hall, you tensed up and won your division's canoe race. Or, if you were pulling for Kappa Kap- pa Gamma, Phi Kappa Theta, the Women's Swim team or the Cool Studs, you spit on your hands and won the tug-of-war. We anticipated some problems with the J- huge crowds this year. It could have been worse without a local resident's donation of land for parking, agreed Regatta chairmen. As a result of the record 15,000 people and an accident involving Timothy Goodrich, who fractured his neck in a dive, Beta Sig planners began working on an even better security plan. You were sunburned and burnt out and it took you two hours to travel fourteen miles. But you spent the day at the legendary Regatta. What more could you ask for!
