PAct J The newly formed Pitzer Activities office has coordinated various events for the entire Pitzer community. Such ac- tivities include hikes, a viewing of a situation comedy, and a trip to the Shubert theater to watch Les Misera- bles. PAct was set up at the beginning of the 1988-1989 school year to fill a gap in both the lives of students and faculty for entertaining, non-academic stimulus. A large aspect of Pitzer activities is which in turn, integrate the community. One of PAct ' s biggest successes has been the trip to see Les Miserables. All available tickets to this event were taken, necessitating a waiting list for more tickets. In- deed, the demand for tickets was so great that another trip to see the play was organized. Another success for PAct is seen in the trip to see the situation comedy ' Dear John ' . A number of students trav- elled to NBC studios in Los Angeles for the first time. This gave them a better idea of what happens behind the scenes of an actual television show taping. Pitzer activities shares an office with the Escort Service and is highly accessible to students. Its philosophy ac- cording to Cris Freeberg is, to do anything (event) that the students would enjoy doing. Mr. Freeberg has served as part-time PAct coordinator and Sanborn Hall Director, but foresees the need for a full time PAct admin- istrator. The Pitzer activities office coordinates, funds, and co- sponsors many affairs at Pitzer and the greater commu- nities. The office also provides logistical support for stu- dent groups that need assistance in executing various events. The PAct staff consists of Freeberg and nine work-study students who plan events, schedule the Pitzer vans, and check out such items as camping and sports equipment. The group also publicizes upcoming events, and maintains a sign-up table in McConnell dur- ing meals. Freeberg feels that with the right input and energy, we can pull of many exciting and interesting experiences. r I 12
