Page Eight - Highacres Collegian, December 8, 1974 LAS VEGAS NITE The annual Las Vegas Nite was recently held in the High. , acres Commons on November 8. During this long awaited and Well-loved evening of enjoy* sent, the normally meek and mild Commons was miraculously transformed into a rollicking and rowdy gambling casiono, reminiscent of those in the real Las Vegas. The "Club Highaores" was equipped with all those little extras that make Las Vegas what it is now, such as lovely cowgirls, eali,2 lers at wheels, and desert cactus. At the "Club High acres" anything can happen-- and did. Who ever expected to see Professor Sheavel acting like a big-time hustler op erating a wheel? Who ever expected Dr. David to fre quent the bar with the free beer? Who ever expected a lot of the things that hap pened at this year's Las Vegas Nits? This year a band graced the casino as the callers and cowgirls went about their jobs of making a breaking the big winners. The band con tained one member of the High acres faculty--our own Profes sor McKim:try on the saxo phone. The wheels spun abd the dice rolled all night, until suddenly, from out of nowhere, three masked and armed bandits entered the casino and cried, "Hands up, everybody! Don't Physics is fun.-so is gambling anybody move!" These foul criminals then proceeded to handcuff the members of out unmatched security force to gether; one of these unr. scroupulous criminals even vent so far as to attack Mrs, David, and cry out, "if any body moves, she gets it!" Later, the bandits re moved their concealing masks and revealed themselves as Dr. Frankel, Dr. Covert, and Mr. Methot, Who then proceed ed to join in the festivities. Hopefully, the lost all of their stolen loot right back to the bank, for I noticed that they were betting rather heavily. Root beer, pretzels, and potato chips were served in order to give the gamblers by Donna Marie Bayer Dr. David! strength to keep winning (and losing) far into the night. Another very interest ing event oocured this year at Las Vegas Nite. This year, instead of a horse race to top off the evening, we were priv eleged with a "cowgirl race" instead. It seems that the horse racing film did not resell the campus in - time for the fes tivities, However, the cow girl race sufficed quite nice ly and was probably more excit ing than a real horse race would have been (especially to the gentlemen in the casino.) All in all, this year's Las Vegas Rite was one of the most suooessfdl ever, and amp. one who missed it had better make plans right now to attend next year's.
