Activities Fair informs students of campus groups by Marianne Gleissner For two days during the first week of classes, the Indiana Memorial Union Alumni Hall is the scene of a fair. This fair doesn't have a merry-go-round or game booths. Instead, the Union Board Activities Fair, sponsored every semester, has information from various campus organizations. Students milled through a maze of tables at both Activities Fairs this year. Campus groups like the Volunteer Students Bureau, a spelunking (caving) club and political organizations used the fair to attract new members. At the fall Activities Fair, over 1,500 girls visited the Panhellenic Association's booth to sign up for formal and open Rush. Other organizations, including religious groups like the United Jewish Student Appeal, used the fair to publicize their activities. Entertainment was a new feature at the Activities Fair this year. A jazz band shared the stage time with members of the Society for Creative Anachronism, who performed Renaissance skits and fencing scenes.
