WINTERFEST PARTY DISAPPOINTING The all-campus party at Winterfest, one would hope, is not a foreshadowing of Springfest 88. Campus-wide reviews ranged from all right, to I didn't even bother going. Some of the bad reaction stemmed from the band which the majority of the people felt was not danceable enough. To be sure, you should be able to rock your socks off at these events but this was not the whole problem. Many interviewees named the new I.D. policy for getting a wristband for the beer garden as the wet blanket. Out of the people who didn't bother going, a large number of these were students who had heard about the new policy and decided to stay where they could drink. Underage students who did go usually did not stay for the majority of the evening. Some were hassled by police as they tried to talk to friends inside the beer garden over the fence. Legal drinkers, too, were put off by the fact that some of their friends could not join them inside the garden. One displeased reveler asked, What's an all-campus party when you can't even socialize with half the campus if you got a beer in your hand? Well, good question. The outlook for Springfest is brighter it would seem if SMAC does as sug- gested and spends the money subtracted from the beer funds on better, big- ger name bands. Of those students, both legal and non, who did not attend the party in Memorial gym or didn't stay for long, most said if the band was better it would probably have made a difference. As free alcohol ceases to be a draw for half the campus, SMAC is going to have to rely on good tunes to bring the people in to the all-cam- pus events and to give everyone a Springfest they ! can look forward to. —Elaine Wolff SPRINGFEST 1988 Springfest '88 had some changes from last year, but generally it was a lot of fun. This year marked the first time a movie had been shown outside. In spite of the cold weather, the turnout was good. Saturday, there was also an open mike activity in the pub. We had many acts and a full pub. It was a lot of fun, observed Mitch Rosin, treasurer of SMAC. Both the audi- ence and the participants seemed to enjoy it, stated Pflienger. For the first time in four years, the daytime bands were held outside. Last year it was attempted, but bad weather moved the activit- ies inside. This year, the day was gorgeous and the attendance large. Students enjoyed the band The Poodles and also chose to bring along frisbees and alcohol or nonalcoholic beverages. People from the city of Ripon also listened to the bands. weather was warm, Saturday, While many people thought the Shannon Bennett observed. Sandy weekend was a lot of fun, some Kobyika, an alumni added, It was students had a few complaints great. Definitely worth coming back about the weekend. According to for. John Ochotnicky, he felt this weekend had the 'lowest attendance of the past four years. —Kristen During the weekend students. Knoll alumni and visitors attended the bands in the gym. One major, but expected, com- plaint of the weekend was the strict enforcement of the alcohol policy. Although this bothered the stu- dents, state law made it a necessary part of the weekend. But now that this year's Springfest is over, thoughts are turning to next year. All-campus activities will be dry. This will be advantageous: the beer garden will not be dividing students; and the campus activities will not be limited to the gym. But, as far as this year, The bads were terrific and I was glad the
