No semester would be complete at Glassboro State without a weekend event to celebrate it. This year, Au- tumn Fest ' 87 brought great entertain- ment to the campus. Jeanette Kerstetter, special events chairperson of the Student Activities Board (SAB) along with the entire orga- nization coordinated Autumn Fest. Vari- ous events were sponsored by the Resi- dent Student ' s Association (RSA) along with the classes of 1988, 1989, and 1990. SAB ' s weekly movie kicked off the weekend festivities with Little Shop of Horrors. Thursday night was a big night for comedy and fun. The Class of 1990 sup- plied the comedy with their own version of Family Fued held in the Student Center Pit. From Survey Says down to their own Richard Dawson (Dennis Lehr of Student Life and Development) it was a huge success. Families from frater- nities, classes, and faculty battled it our out for the largest total of points. Going on at the same time was Au- tumn night in the Rat. Music was pro- vided by a popular band on campus, M.K. Ultra. Friday afternoon things were moved outside. Hundreds of students gathered on the patio of the Student Center to listen to the sounds of bands made up of fraternity members and other students at G.S.C. Nearby, behind Mimosa, the Autumn Fest Volleyball Tournament pitted class against class and Greeks against faculty. Topping off Friday ' s events was the Night Owl which was host to three top comedians and plenty of dance music. Saturday brought Goofy Games sponsored by the Class of 1989, which took place on the GSC football field. Competitions of egg and spoon races, water balloon football, and a tug-of-war were all included in the event. Teams were supplied by SAB, SGA, and faculty. Continuing on the idea of silly games, a Giant Twister game was held in the Rat Saturday night. Autumn Fest ' 87 closed on Sunday with Hall Wars staged in the back of Mimosa. Residents played each other to determine the best residence hall on campus. The Finale was a performance by the Royal Lichtenstein Circus. It was a com- plete one ring circus with monkeys, dogs, birds and a pony. The circus play- ers entertained a captive audience with a combination of stories and traditional circus acts like trapeze, juggling, and balancing acts. I I
