| Transcript | / Pop Goes The World n celebration of the 20th anniversary of Earth Day, the Student Program Board sponsored Spring Fair 1990 by scheduling a week-long schedule of events, which included movies, plays, bands and a recycle-a-thon. The theme for the fair was "Pop Goes the World." A medieval fair took place that Michelle Cruz, SPB Director of Marketing, described as "a mini- renaissance festival." People involved with the fair dressed up in costumes and turkey legs and other little items. A recycle-a-thon took place the following day and gathered students from UH, Rice and Texas A&M to recycle paper and aluminum cans. That night, "The Sick Room," a production that dealt with alcoholics recalling their stories of substance abuse. It was put on by the Wortham Theater lab students. Many people attended "because it was an Edward Albee production, but they left with the realization that the play had a lot to offer because of its substance abuse issue," said Cruz. In addition, a Chili Cook-Off was held to continue the celebration of Earth Day. The Rocky Horror Picture Show again made an appearance at UH and provided chances to win free T-shirts as participants searched of a blue-colored paper. An all-out Perpetual Park Party was held on Friday as The Shaft, a group somewhere in between Depeche Mode and New Order, kicked off the festivities. On Saturday, the Wortham Lab Theater presented "Avocado Ice Cream," and the events concluded on Sunday with a five-film series, sponsored by the Honors Film Society. • -Thao Vuong A, liring the Spring Fair, many students enjoyed the various events that were held.Photo by Donatello Pitts. p. anny Rodosovich juggles three pins outside during the Spring Fair.Photo by Donatello Pitts. 328 FADE Closing* RED |
