Success despite wet weather

 In case you didn't notice, it rained last Thursday.  Not that it matters because all the weather in the world couldn't have ruined our Fall Day festivities. The Moonwalk, Barbque and Tabling that have come to signify any special event at a Rutgers were moved to the inside of the student center. 
 Every table in the room had a giveaway of some kind.  From Psi Chi's fabulous giveaway of a Michael Douglas movie to the Women's Student Organization's giveaway of Tori Amos tickets, everyone had something to raffle off.  The karate club might have given away half a cinderblock after one of their members chopped it in half, but the Gleaner hasn't yet confirmed this. 
 There was also a caricature artist, a couple of senate candidates, and a blood drive.  Fortunately the three weren't combined.  I would be seriously afraid of a bloody caricature of the Rutgers Student Senate.  Everything that went on was far more wholesome than that. 
     Speaking of wholesome, it is noteworthy that there were 4 religious organizations represented on campus, the Jewish Student Union, Campus Crusade for Christ, the Newman Club and the Muslim Students Association.  This isn't to say that secular organizations aren't wholesome, indeed there's little that's quite so wholesome as groups such as Amnesty International, the fraternities, or the Black Student Union.   It's just that fraternities, social justice, and cultural groups were all at the last spring day, the religious groups seem like a more recent set of additions.
