gp Th gg rganizations Da l The plaza outside of Kennedy Union is used for a variety of reasons. Some organizations use the plaza to meet, some to socialize, and some just to play games. However, there is one day each fall when all campus organizations meet in the plaza, and that is Up the Organizations Day. Each of the various organizations must register for table-space two weeks prior and then sets up their booth anywhere in the plaza. The Day runs from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and it offers every club on campus the opportunity to increase its membership, to meet members of other clubs, and to show their school spirit. Up the Organization Day gives everyone on campus a chance to see what organizations are available at the University of Dayton. Likewise, it invites the outside community to participate as well. Some clubs double their size, according to Lavonne Dees, chairperson of Activities Advisory Council, the council in charge of the event.

Th Oldest rt Show In Da ton Each September, the grounds of the University of Dayton Roesch Library becomes the site of very important cultural tradition - the Library Lawn Art Show. The show, which is sponsored by University Activities, and which is well-reputed for its displays of fine craftsmanship, is a tradition not only for the University but also for the Dayton community. In fact, it has the distinction of being the oldest art show in the Dayton area. On September 16, 1984, the Library Lawn Art Show once again lived up to, if not surpassed, its tradition of excellence. The strong point of this year's show was undoubtedly the variety of artistry displayed. Approximately 50 artists and craftsmen presented their wares, which included pottery, stoneware, photography, watercolors, jewelry, wood working, stained glass, paper making, and pen-and-ink drawings, just to name a few. In addition, visitors were treated to the sounds of guitar music, both classical and folk, a poetry reading, and the performance of the singing group Celebration. When those midday hunger pangs set in, a wide variety of culinary delights were available, ranging from Baskin- Robbin's ice cream to sandwiches and snacks provided by Food Service. Gourmet picnic baskets, which provided the perfect repast for such a beautiful September day, were also available. These picnic baskets were sold by the University Activities Organization and came complete with cheeses, apples, grapes, petit fours, summer sausage, croissants, and a fifth of sparkling burgundy grape- drink - in just the right quantity for a romantic picnic for two! Mary Rose Zink, coordinator of University Activities Organization, said, I consider this a successful event. We have passed out over 1,000 programs to visitors and we have received positive feedback from artists and visitors alike. Laura Limongelli Student Lifef15
