SHINERAMA Are we going to raise more money than last year? Yaaahh !! Convocation Hall roared with the approving cheers of 1700 students, and Shinerama Day at the University of Toronto kicked off. Eleven colleges and faculties joined hands on September 3rd this year to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis research. At the centre of them all was, of course, the Engineers. The result was the most successful campaign in the history of Shinerama at the University of Torornto: $39,000 was raised. This easily exceeds last year ' s total of $25,000. Practically every street corner in downtown Toronto had a shining group on it, and almost every ' ' person in the downtown core encoun- tered an eager shiner ready to shine his or her shoes, wallet, car, glasses, head, etc. The next day was the Shinerama Bedrace down University Avenue. The race started at noon, and so did the water balloon sales. For the first (and last) time in years, a non-Engineering team. Pharmacy, won the Bedrace. Geo-Engineering came second, and the defending champions. Civil, were involved in a spectacular crash with New College which destroyed both vehicles. The Hot Dog Day was held on Friday during the musical chairs event on front campus, and was followed by the Hot Dog Eating Contest. Congratulations on a great campaign to everyone involved, especially the Shinerama Com- mittee, who put in a lot of extra time and effort. Best of luck to next year’s co-chairmen, Chris Dunsmuir and Dina Aweida. Nadine Aweida Joseph Paradi Jr. Co-chairmen Shinerama ' 86

U OF T DAY Homecuming this year was part of U of T Day, and was on the same day as the University-wide Open House. Homecuming activities included a parade followed by a football game, ending with festivities. This year Engineering decided to create a float with the Rehab Meds, instead of one of our own. The theme of the parade was U of T Then and Now, Celebrate Your University . In order to incorporate the Then and Now part of the theme, we became Roman Engineers dressed in togas. The parthanon was built on the float, which was adorned with streamers and balloons. Music was once again provided by the LGMB. Everyone had a great time; the only disappointing thing was that our water balloon catapult did not quite have the range we had hoped for.
