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.

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.

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!

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.

The members of the Married Student
Union would like to thank everyone who
helped us make' our annual HalloVveen
Party for children such a success this
year. Adults as well as children had a
terrific time watching cartoons, playing
the Limbo, Musical Chairs and bobbing
for apples. We were all especially pleas
ed with the large turnout of children in
costume, all of whom expressed their
delight with the party by asking if we
could do it again soon! (Maybe an Easter
egg hunt . . .?) We'll see what we can
arrange . . .
MSU would like you to keep in mind
our big events coming up for the holiday
season, namely: A day in Lancaster
County (Park City, pretzel factory, and
dinner at a Pennsylvania Dutch restaur
ant) on Saturday, November 22; and our
Christmas party which will be a sit-down
dinner followed by a record hop and

things we would like to do and wish you
would join us.
Much to everyone's surprise (includ
