Fall Frenzy!

Free food, games and music were highlights of the first
Fall Frenzy, sponsored at the Rome campus on Oct. 30 by the Student Government
Association.
Teela Davis, SGA vice president of special events, said her expectations
were met.
Games were held inside the solarium. Some students played Twister, while
others listened to music provided by student Marmik Patel.
SGA president Amit Patel asked Patel to DJ for the event. "I really
enjoyed it, and
I want to do it again," said Patel.
A costume contest was also part of Fall Frenzy; however there was not
a lot of participation.
There were very few students and some faculty members who chose to dress
in costumes.
"It needed to be more publicized because nobody knew why I was dressed
up," said student Matt Hall.
Nikki Maxwell, SGA vice president of public relations, was pleased with
the turnout. "There were a lot of people eating up the food!"
she said.
Free refreshments included hotdogs, chips and other snacks.
The Student Government Association, in collaboration with the Gay, Lesbian,
Bisexual, Transgender and Straight Alliance, also had a bake sale. The
president of GLBT&S Alliance, Dusty Neighbors, said, "The bake
sale went very well."
Due in part to the overall good response from students and the leftover
food, the event was continued the following day.
Davis said, "Our main goal for Fall Frenzy was to encourage student
involvement. Hopefully this will carry over into a tradition."
