STUDENT ACTIVITIES The 1986-87 school year was packed with ac- tivities ranging from movies and theatre produc- tions to concerts and recitals.

Plenty to Choose From lowed by movies back at the student center ended the first week which was followed by a combination rush week pledge week for the four social clubs on campus. A BSU lock-in, putt-putt golf night, off-campus movie nights, and the BSU State Convention in Jackson gave students a chance to get off campus for a while. On-campus activities included movie festivals, the Fall Theatre Production, open dorm nights, the Twila Paris concert, the fall talent show, the Halloween Carnival, basketball games, soccer games on the Coast Campus, and various special nights courtesy of the cafeteria. The spring semester brought about more re- citals and more open dorms. Homecoming brought out an abundance of activities. The baseball and tennis seasons gave students activi- ties to fill their afternoons and evenings. The Miss Carey Pageant and the Spring Theatre Pro- duction were two big spring events which filled many hours for participants. Various club activi- ties, elections, and more special dinners closed out the year which culminated in the big event — graduation.— Jan Wiggins Keeping things going at the Phi Beta Lambda spaghetti supper, Carol Swimming was a favorite pastime on the Coast campus.

Nurses See Year Through Actively New Orleans SGA Keeps Students Busy Despite Little Free Time Although clinicals, classes, research, and prac- ticums filled the majority of their time, the New Orleans Student Government Association still managed to break academics with creative and innovative entertainments. With a free hour following each Monday as- sembly, the SGA leaders boosted students into the week ahead with parties, events, and enlight- ening programs geared around seasonal and lo- cal activities. Calendar activities throughout both semesters were well-received. The Halloween costume contest, party, and ghoul food were enlivened by the appearance of many incognito apparitions. Susan Toups took home top honors for her imi- tation of a purple grape. The holidays got under- way when the Madrigals from the School of Music presented a special performance at assem- bly, which was taped by Southern Baptist Hospi- tal for patient viewing. Students, faculty, and entertainers enjoyed a traditional, by-request covered dish Thanksgiving luncheon that fol- lowed. As Christmas approached. New Orleans stu- dents spread holiday cheer with the singing of carols at a local nursing home, an event spon- sored by Carey Student Nursing Association. Patients also delighted in the choruses contribut- ed by sing-along pets. Other pre-exam activities included a mid-fall semester pizza party and more professionally- minded programs such as presentations and lun- cheons given by both the US Army and Air Force on nursing careers in the military.
