If ping pong, pool and bowling got too strenuous, students could wander upstairs to the Quiet Lounge, where Monopoly, Scrabble and card games were in progress. Activities were planned by Cheryl Parman of the Student Activi- ties Office. Thursday evenings were set aside for filmgoers. The movies that drew the biggest crowds were HButch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, hRomeo and Iuliet and HKing Kong.
