C.C. Reader ROAD RALLY RICHES!! The Meade Heights Board of Gover nors (MHBOG) pulled off another suc cessful Fall Term Road Rally on Satur day, October 18. The contestants were required to drive their cars through a pre-designated course engineered by two members of the Board of Governors. The course consisted of following clues and markers through a complex three hour tour of Middletown and outlying areas. Only two people were permitted in each car, a driver and a navigator. The event was a test of intelligence and logic, which the Governors sponsored bril liantly. Enduring foul weather and a rash of football fever, 16 cars started at three minute intervals beginning at 11 a.m. in anticipation of winning one of the three trophies. Aftr some hair-raising and nail-biting events, the winners were declared as follows: in first place driving car number 11 was Kathy Deßatt and Jim Byers; coming in second in car number 51 was Marty Snopek and Frank Smith; and placing third, sporting car number 5, was Rich Tokosh and Mike Frill. Although there were only six winners, all who entered the race enjoy ed themselves despite the rain they encountered in the morning hours. As in every competition, there had to be a last-place car. The losers on Saturday received a trophy which can not be appropriately described in this article. But taking it in stride were Diane Romanski and Michelle Trabosh who enjoyed the Rally more than any one. If you're interested in finding out the nature of their trophy, just give Diane or Michelle a little poke and ask them; everyone needs a good laugh now and again. The good times continued throughout the afternoon and flowed into the MHBOG's tailgate party held at the Middle Earth Coffee House in Meade Heights. The Board of Governors pro vided good food and good "spirits" for everyone who participated in the Rally as well as anyone else who wanted to party on a Saturday night. A special pat on the back to MHBOG's president, Jeff McGee, for a smooth-flowing, successful event. The Rally was an example of the ability of people to get together and organize a good time. I.A.A. NEWS It's the beginning of November and time again for the semi-annual Interna tional Dinner. Tantalize your tastebuds, titillate your palate and make your way to the Student Center on the evening of Friday, November 14 at 7 p.m. Bring an international dish to pass, and prepare yourself for epicurian deli cacies that turn even the most finicky gourmet into a gourmand. Of course, it will be the social event of the season and everyone of prominence will be there. This is your special invitation to attend, and the disservice that will occur if you fail to attend could only be equated to a king's failing to attend his coronation. A spectacular evening of fun and food await all. After dinner, the Capitol Area Folk Dancers will perform a number of Eastern European dances with the opportunity for all to participate. Our only request is that you bring an international dish for the meal. If that is impossible, a small donation of $4.00 is requested. (But even Michael "Slick" Unctuous has promised to bring a souffle). If you wish only to enjoy the entertainment, no charge will be made after 8 p.m. Clubbin' around 11./11L1Di:,4. - E Likal 14.113)111 By Tina Sterba In keeping with the traditions of Halloween and good times, MGBOG co-sponsored the annual Halloween Cos tume Dance with the Pennsylvania Society of Professional Engineers (PSPE). The dance was held at the Student Center on Tuesday, October 28, 1980. Ask any of the celebrities who attended how exciting it was! There was the "Incredible Bulk" dancing with "I Dream of Jeannie," and the "Unknown Beer Drinker," along with "Me and My and "Shadow," a whole bunch of grapes, and plenty of other interesting guests that are a bit difficult to describe. And to solve the mystery of who the winners were: for best costume, you know him as "The Incredible Bulk," but to everyone else his name is Al Clark. For most original costume -- we don't know his name, but he was that fabulous "Un known Beer Drinker," the good old Pabst Man. The winners may pick up their prizes at the Coffee House during business hours. Their prizes are two free tickets to MHBOG's Thanksgiving Din ner to be held November 24 at the Student Center. Supplying the music for the goblins to dance to was a band from campus called "Flashback." This newly formed band played everything from new wave to some good old rock-and-roll favorites. We wish these talented musicians the ,best of luck. And to complement the beverages, the Married Student Union sold delicious hot dogs to all of the ghosts and their friends. MHBOG would like to thank them for their help and participation. Also, thanks to the Capitol Campus cheerleaders for their exciting kissing booth, which added a touch of class to the good time had by all. Another successful event, "Quiggly"! We are looking forward to the next one at the end of this month. Everyone is invited to join the Governors in the Thanksgiving Dinner to be held on November 28 at the Student Center. The dinner is only $3 plus a covered dish or dessert for all you can eat and drink. If anyone is interested in helping out with the dinner or in joining MHBOG, stop in the Middle Earth Coffee House any Sunday evening around 8:30. See you there!

Thursday, November 6, 1980 The members of the Graduate Stu dent Union have been discussing the possibility of a lounge for graduate students, and recently conducted a sur vey concerning a location for such a lounge. Each professor teaching a grad uate course received the survey to read aloud to his or her class. Out of approximately 40 classes, only 21 surveys were returned, with the following results: 171 graduate students voted for a possible location in the Main Building on the first floor, west wing area; 28 voted for the choice of another place in the Main Building; and no votes were cast in favor of a lounge in the C.R.A.G.S. Building. The Union plans to use these statistics to begin plans for a lounge in the near future. GSU has asked Provost Gross to speak at the first of the lecture series they have planned for the school year. The lecture will be open to anyone at Capitol Campus and will be held on Wednesday evening, November 12, at 8 p.m. in the Gallery Lounge. Dr. Gross's lecture is entitled "Graduate Education in South Central Pennsylvania." If you are a graduate student and would like to meet fellow students, voice any opinions, gripes, or concerns, or would like to express suggestions for the possible graduate student lounge, please contact Yama' at 944-6504 or Kathy at 944-4765, or attend our next meeting on Monday, November 17 at. 4:00 in the Gallery Lounge.
