A 'She Said' Account ofthe Big Ball Maybe you're a first year student, or maybe you're just lame, in any case you need to know that the President's Ball is THE event on campus. Not that there aren't other events that rival it's position as the center spot on the university fabric, but the President's Ball is free! Well welcome back to the high school mentality and having to wonder what to wear, who to take, where to eat and what to do for the big dance. Consider this your own teen magazine pullout section on how to 'do' the big dance. While the invitations may say semi-formal, this is really a chance to go wild and do your own thing. For instance last year a group of us decided to go together: no dates, no problem. My friend down the hall showed up at my door before I was ready.

There the boys were dressed in their While the invitations may say mod/ska suits with chains and the girls were coifed and wearing semi formal dresses that allowed lots of semi-formal, this is really a movement. Movement to dance and movement to sing. chance to go wild and do At the party we all complimented each other and danced until we were ready to storm UC. your own thing.

slipped away, and our group took over the karaoke stage. Chancing upon Fr. Schlegal, Dear Tiffany's Tiffany Maleshefski asked him to join us in karaoking "Like a Prayer." She was pulled outside to calm down before Schlegal could respond with more than a laugh. This night has lived in our memories and we have often thought of what we could possible do to ri­ val the occasion. We started by planning a Spice Ball: Page 12
