Citizenship Required Scarecrows, Dorothys and other characters from the “Wizard of Oz” followed the yellow brick road to the MSC All-Nite Fair Friday night. Fifty-seven campus organizations partici pated in the fair, which lasted until 3 a.m. at the Memorial Student Center. One of the many booths was “Smash Mr. Bill.” Customers could smash clay Mr. Bills with various torture tools. The Math Club’s Black Jack booth drew heavy crowds, as did the face-painting booth sponsored by Free University and the Arts Committee. Organizations paid $15 for renting booth space but got $10 back. The other five went toward entertainment and other costs of the fair. Tickets for the booths were 10 cents. Orga nizations turned their collected tickets in to the MSC All-Nite Fair chairman and were reimbursed. Anne Windhager, All-Nite Fair Chairman, said, “We’ve been working on this since last spring. We had to hire extra security to work during the fair, had to find and hire entertain ment and find people to help.” Entertainment at the fair was hypnotist Tom Deluca and magician “The Amazing Jonathan.” During his second show, Deluca took volun teers from the audience and hypnotized them. He entertained the audience by magnetizing the volunteers’ lips, causing them to meet in a passionate kiss. He also made them pretend to be race car drivers who wrecked. Student reactions to the fair ranged from boredom to excitement. “I liked it; it was my first time. I enjoyed it because I worked at one of the booths,” said Peggy Yamasak, a freshman biomedical major. “I was there from 8 until it was almost closing time.” Another student said the fair wasn’t quite what he expected and was a little disappointed. “I just don’t think it’s all that great,” said George Mankey, a freshman engineering ma jor. “I don’t know if I’ll make it next year.” Off-campus living program to be held By KITTY FRALEY Battalion Reporter Students often have questions about the transition between liv ing on campus and living off cam pus, but they don’t know where to get help. The Off-Campus Center and Residence Hall Association are co sponsoring a program on housing Tuesday at 7 p.m. in 225 Harring ton Tower. The meeting is open to anyone. The program is designed to answer questions that students have about off-campus living, said Jan Winniford, coordinator of the Off-Campus Center. “Since the Student Affairs Committee voted in early Febru ary that fifth-year seniors and gra duate students can no longer live on campus after this semester, they are the population that we are aiming for,” she said. “We’re going to run this prog ram similar to the way we run our orientation programs,” Winniford said. The fifth-year seniors and gra duate students will form a sepa rate group from the other stu dents, she said, because the fifth- year seniors and graduate stu dents may have different experi ences and topics to discuss. The format of the program will be informal discussions of prob lems that students may encounter when living off campus. Student workers from the Off-Campus Center who have lived on campus and moved off campus will discuss some of their personal experi- “We want to discuss a series of things the students need to know now so that they can be planning ahead,” Winniford said. “This ses sion should be one where students can relate experiences while hav ing questions answered.” The Off-Campus Center, in the Department of Student Affairs, was created to inform students of problems of off-campus living, Winniford said. The Center provides a variety of services and programs to stu dents, including a listing of apart ment and housing vacancies, a roommate locator service, room mate counseling, a car pool refer ral service.
