Sign up by Tuesday for the wine and cheese evening. Signs similar to this are not uncommon sights in the dorms, keeping on-campus housing residents up-to-date on the latest wing activities. The purpose of these activities is for students to meet and have fun with other students. The many wing activities prove to be both intriguing and exciting, ranging from hay-rides to dinners and football games to tubing trips. Ken Peters from Brookfield. WI said, I think wing activities are beneficial for meeting interesting people and ■ having a good time. One of the more popular and often the most uneventful of the wing activities is the screw your roommate game. Wing members are set up with someone of the opposite sex for a casual-type date, starting at Kristens or at a happy hour for a few drinks and dancing. Some dates are successful, with both parties having a nice time and becoming good friends. Other dates are not successful because of personality conflicts or not meeting each others expectations. Sometimes it is a matter of fate — losing your date while dancing at Brat Kabin and not seeing him or her again, or as happened to one group, becoming trapped in a Towers elevator for 45 minutes while repairmen worked to get it started. I met a really nice girl at one of our wing activities and I've taken her out a couple of times since then,” said freshman Steve Long from Kdina, MN. Wine and cheese, another popular activity, has more formal setting and mood. Both groups dress nicely and listen to music drifting in the air. The night then lets loose to a less formal atmosphere as the groups head for Water Street. Spaghetti dinners, sub-sandwich and taco parties allow students more time to get to know each other while they prepare their meals and dine together. Dishwashing and unusual games of licorice-eating races and passing lift-savers on toothpicks follow dinner. The wing activity, no matter how unusual, common or diverse, gives students a chance to have a good time and allows for a break in everyday school life. tmr above: Wendy Denting. Karen Godin.
