Kent An antique car show, road rally, picnic, semi-formal and a double feature were all a part of this year’s Autumn Buzz Week at Capitol Campus. The annual event began on Friday, October 18 and con tinued through the weekend, according to Student Union Board of Governors president Louise Kleinknecht. This year SUBOG and the Black Student Union sponsored the three day event which began with the showing of the “Revenge of the Pink Panther” and “The Invasion of the Body Snatchers.” According to Kleinknecht, approximately 25 people came to see “Pink Pan ther”, but few people showed up to see the “Invasion” movie. Autumn Buzz continued on Saturday with a Road Rally of about 20 different cars. The Meade Heights Community Council sponsored the Road Rally. A registration fee of three dollars was required for each car that entered the contest. First and second place win ners received prizes of $5O and $2O. Cars finishing last receiv ed “booby prizes”; trophies with a “donkey’s ass” on them. SUBOG raised funds for future dances by selling Autumn Buzz T-shirts.
