on campus was told they
could participate.
Each club or organization
had to submit its idea for a
booth to the committee.
Walter said that there were
duplicate ideas, so the
booths were assigned on a
first come first serve basis.
There will he a variety of
booths: jails to throw ene
mies in, booths to kiss in and
booths to get massages in,
Walter said. But, there also
will be other activities.
A local band will play 45-
minute sets in the main
lounge and between sets, the
Miss Texas A&M beauty
contestants will perform.
Rumours will be serving re
freshments during the
night.
Admission will be 50
cents, Walters said, and
separate tickets must be pur
chased at 10'cents apiece to
participate in the different
games that the booths offer.
When the All Night Fair is
over, each booth turns in the
tickets they collected to the
All Night Fair Committee.
The committee will give an
undetermined amount of
money to each club or orga
nization, depending on how
many tickets their booth col
lected.
Dorm opens weight room
by Kathy Wiesepape
Battalion Reporter
Long lines for the weight
machines at DeWare Field
House shouldn’t stop Hart Hall
residents from staying in shape.
Last Sunday, Hart Hall opened
its own weight room in the base
ment of the dormitory.
“We have the best facility on
campus besides the weight
rooms in Deware and the athle
tic facilities,” said David Haw
kins, president of the Hart Hall
Weightlifting Club.
Planning for the weight room
started last October. After the
project was approved by the
Central Area Office, Hawkins
said, he went to Texas A&M
weightlifting instructor Emil
Mamaliga for advice. Mamaliga
is the author of the textbook for
weight training classes at Texas
A&M.
Mamaliga showed him how to
use a floor plan of the basement
to set up stations for different
activities and also recommended
amounts of weights that would
be needed at each station, Haw
kins said.
David Corry, secretary of the
weightlifting club, said most of
the weights were loaned to them
by Hart Hall residents. Also, the
dorm council donated $425 to
the project, which Hawkins said
the weight club members used to
buy cleaning supplies and an
additional 400 pounds of
weights.
Mark Bauma, one of the
weight club members, built two
benches and a sit up board for
the weight room.
Hawkins said the equipment
in the room is arranged in sta
tions, as Mamaliga advised.
Pages frqm the weightlifting
textbook, illustrating different
exercises and recommending
weight amounts, are posted at
each station.
Corry and Hawkins said they
received an overwhelming re
sponse to a petition they circu
lated through the dormitory to
determine the level of interest in
the project. However, the turn
out so far has not been as good as
they expected, Hawkins said.
Most residents just aren’t aware
that the new weight room is
open.
Only Hart Hall residents with
paid activity fees can use the
weight room, but Corry said that
they might consider opening the
facility to other students if it is
not used more often.
