Lots of people decided not to go out on Saturday night because of the snow storm. "Its so cold and icy, I think I am just gonna stay close to home." said sophomore Samantha Smith. Luckily The Weekend Programmer at Collins was able to help. Junior C.J. Lotz plans activities to do on the weekends for those Collinsites who like to stay in. Every Saturday night she organizes a different program. This Saturday was a Fun Forties Night.
The event featured make-up samples from Mark Cosmetics as well as info sheets about how to do your make-up 40's style. There was also a bar full of all the ingredients to make "mocktails". I had a cranberry and tonic.
Each event usually features some sort of arts and crafts portion. There were sheets of "marble" that you could paint your hand prints on and sign your name. The pieces which resemble hand prints in cement, may be hung somewhere around Collins.
There was also '40s themed trivia games. The questions were about the decade in general and what was going on at IU specifically at the time. One question, "When was the IU Art Museum built?" had everyone stumped. Every year of the forties was guessed before the correct answer (1941) came up. There were more people than usual hanging around on Saturday and the forties night was a fun way to keep them all entertained.
