The Gator Nights staff works hard year round to organize amazing nights filled with a variety of activities and goings on. Aside from the typical movie, shown in the Reitz Union Cinema, Gator Nights patrons can also enjoy pool, bowling, food and a number of other activities, that in the past have included: a hypnotist, funky labels, moon walks and a country-themed night. I'm really impressed With the hard work and effort that helps make Gator Nights a success every Friday night, said senior Steve Cohen. Whever I want to hang out with some friends, grab a late night snack or play a couple of games of pool, ljust call up some of my buddies and meet them at the Reitz Union. One of the primary goals of the Gator Nights staff is to make each Friday night unique so that students want to come back week after week. Once, they even brought in live animals and put hay all over the union and N orth Lawn for the complete farmhouse look. Another element that makes Gator N ights so unique is that fact that it has been an on campus tradition for many years. Students have been flocking to the Reitz Union on Friday nights for as long as most people can remember. This year, the Gator Nights staff looks forward to another year of fun nights filled with interesting activi- ties for all students who are interested in coming out. -Gordon Van Owen
