. . 1' Xt .- A Action-Packed Traditions pervaded our calendar of ac- tivities. However, even as we continued to take part in the rituals of our college, we updated and changed the events to make them uniquely ours. The traditional Octo- berfest weekend became Generic Weekend Number One, and the Christmas dance was billed as a 'Casino Night Formalf' The four campus sororities presented a tradi- tional msh weekend in September, while the Resident Directors and the Student Af- fairs staff sponsored a Queens College Jog-A-Thong in November for the first time ever. Activities were plentiful and omnipres- ent on campus. Students chose between leadership workshops, intemships, and Eu- ropean travel for January term, ate popcorn at the third annual Health Fair, saw The House of Bernarda Alban in the fall and The Club in the spring, attended the Honors and Awards Day Convocations, and competed as dorm versus dorm in the Resi- dent Assistants' annual Derby Day. Activi- ties at Queens are as diverse as our stu- dents, said Diana Williams, Dean of Stu- dent Affairs. This diversity brings a nice balance between the traditional events and our less conventional ones. Where else can one find May Day dances, Mexican Fiestas, Moontanning parties, a Dance-A-Thon, a Jog-A-Thon, and even a 'Dare to be Differ- ent' party? There is something for every- one. Activities were a major part of the Queens Concept of Tradition. v A R ,Tn Q 4 fn X, l TOP: As staff photographer for both the Current and Area?
