Sure, maybe a few events with pizza and socializing in front of Frog Fountain could be in order. But a formal? We at the Skiff don't think so. On Friday evening, the first-ever Frog Formal was held in the Student Center Ballroom. What ever pos- sessed Programming Council to think that having an on-campus formal was a good idea? How many stu- dents want to get decked out in fancy clothes and stroll on up to the Student Center, of all places, to dance the night away? Apparently, not a whole lot. Carl Long, chairman of the Programming Council Special Events Committee, told the Skiff Monday that about 100 people attended the event. However, the Skiff interviewed several students who were at the party and the) estimated the crowd to be about 40 or 50 people. Well, even il Long's estimation is accurate, 100 people is a pretty poor show ing, liui for the first time in memorable history, the Skiff Multiplicity is a scary thought will not lambaste the apathetic students of TCU.
