By Joel Hammond THE BG NEWS Anderson Arena was once filled again with screaming col- lege students and Dan Dakich last night, but not under the normal circumstances. Balloons, film reels and a mock projector took the place of Keith McLeod, Brandon Pardon and Len Matela as the University Ambassadors (UA) and the Student Alumni Association hosted Beyond BG, their annual end-of-year celebration. This year's theme was "Come and See Beyond BG," as mock film equipment and props filled the Arena. Dakich, along with Toledo's Channel 11 anchor Jerry Anderson served as emcees for the event, which entertained about 800. UA president-elect Justin Lowry said this event is the group's pride and joy, some- thing they work for from the start of the fall "A lot of organizations and people on campus have differ- ent wavs of rewarding the stu- dents," Lowry said. ''This is our way, with this event. This is our way of rewarding each years students, and in particular the seniors, for their hard work." Each year the gala features numerous prize giveaways, free food and drinks, games, magi- cians and caricatures in addi- tion to two $500 book scholar- ships for two underclassmen to the University bookstore, a trip to New York City for a senior and the Outstanding Senior Award.

By Natalie Keys Gavel Writer In 1963. the Beta Theta Pi fra ternity started the Little 500. a race held on the Union Oval sidewalk. Now called the Beta 500. it is held in the Jerome Library parking lot. For all 39 years the proceeds from the event have gone to benefit the Ronald McDonald House. The Beta 500 is a push-cart race that takes both practice and skill to win. Participating chapters build a Beta team, which are sometimes compiled months ahead of time. Sororities and fra ternities compete In separate heats during the race, each hav- ing a winner declared at the end.
