Dancing down Bourbon St. Student Life extravaganza a success Some came to dance, others to socialize, but most were there to gamble. A toss of the die, a spin of the wheel and fortunes were made or lost. But it was all for fun at the Third Annual Evening in D.C.. sponsored by Student Life. Evening in D.C. was appropriately held at the Dedmon Center on March 15. The theme of the evening was Mardi Gras. The Dedmon Center was no longer for excercise, it was a quaint section in New Orleans. Streetlamps, streetsigns, park benches and flowers all helped to create the feeling of a warm night during Mardi Gras. The highlight of the evening for most was the gambling. All who attended were given fake money which could be used in making or losing fortunes. The blackjack tables proved to be the most popular form of gambling for those who attended. The tables were continually surrounded by eager gamblers. But others were content to try their luck at roulette, chance or horse racing. The evening, in addition to gambling, featured entertainment by the Delta Streamers and Power Play. Also per- forming were the RU dancers, a mime troupe and clowns. All evening, BoBo the monkey strolled throughout the center. Caricatures, Victorian photography and a raffle were also featured. Over 3,000 people attended the Evening in D.C.
