N'_ght C'mon everybody--Hand Check , I I I I Students Enjoy Kimberly Anastas Capital College students proved that they do have a flair for fashion (other than designer jeans and name brand sneakers). On Friday, March 25, approximately 240 students and faculty donned their finest outfits and experienced "A Night on the Town" at the Villa Leo Resort and Conference Center. The annual semi-formal was held from 8:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. Dinner was served after guests enjoyed hor's d'oeuvres and conversation. A slide show featuring life at Penn State Harrisburg was shown after dinner. Other entertainment included a magic show by Richard Dinninghoff and music for dancing by D.J Steve "The Wanderer" from Paradise Alley. A photographer was available for anyone wishing to "capture the moment" for a small fee. Anyone wishing to over-induldge on beverages from the cash bar had the opportunity to be transported home on a bus chartered for the occasion. An observant eye could interpret from the elegant decorations that much hard work and planning had gone into preparing the event. Many excited students also did a lot of preparing--I never saw so many men's neck ties match women's dresses before. Laura Karinch, a junior majoring in education, said: "It was the first time I got to pick out a tie for a "prom date." She also said, "I enjoyed seeing the provost having such a good time." Jeff Hake, a junior majoring in mechanical engineering technology, said: The decorations and the magician were great, the food was average, the service was poor but he had a good time with all of his friends. Ed Hein, a senior majoring in mechanical engineering technology, said: "The DJ was good. I enjoyed the slide show but it did not represent the entire student body. I had a wonderful time." The semi-formal was sponsored by the Resident Student Council in cooperation with the Student Government Association and several clubs. n Th© Town A Photo Essay Capital Times, April 6, 1988, Rage 9 ?bolos by Dave faradley This sure beats a rerun of iami Vice I think my socks are falling down
