Students and faculty enjoy Fall Frenzy
By Victoria Wheeler
The weather turned out to be just right for the college's annual Fall Frenzy. The sound of techno music from one of the activities could be heard by students walking to or from class, drawing them toward the variety of tables, activities and free items at the Fall Frenzy outside the Student Center on the Floyd campus on Oct 31. The decorated tables and most of the activities were related to the event's outer space theme. The activities included laser tag in a giant space ship, an Air-Bots battle zone, a cake walk sponsored by the Human Services Club, a beer goggles pin-the-rings-on-Saturn game, and a feed-the-space-bot contest at the "Six Mile Post" table. Other booths and tables included the tutorial center's survey for goodies and counseling and career services selling candles. The Black Awareness Society served some homemade "soul food." For $6 hungry people could get fried chicken, a choice of two sides, including mac-n-cheese, collard greens, pinto beans or cole slaw, and a drink. Lauren Burkhalter, a general studies major at the Floyd campus commented, "I wish more teachers would give students with morning classes time to really enjoy the Fall Frenzy without having to rush off." A Halloween costume contest was sponsored by the Office of Student Life. Contestants dressed up as anything from Alice in Wonderland and Marilyn Monroe to Bad Grammar and Yoda. The first prize of a gift certificate to Longhorn Steakhouse and a t-shirt was won by Zack Bolien as Peter Parker, Spiderman's secret identity. Nguyen Pham, a general studies major, commented, "This is awesome! It's good because students get to do activities they wouldn't normally get a chance to do. Plus it's on campus and convenient." Jennifer Hicks, an English tutor at the Floyd campus commented, "It's great students have an opportunity to socialize and have fun while also learning about different activities that Georgia Highlands has to offer." Fall Frenzy was held at the Cartersville campus on Oct. 30. |
