Third Annual Pre-Game Block pARTy, October 2, 2004

This year’s pARTy was part of the Homecoming Weekend whirl of activity for hundreds of delighted students, staff and faculty, alumni, and community friends, who spent two hours before the football game taking in the celebration of arts and sports.

Campus organizations offered participatory arts-related fun, plus information about themselves.
ABC decorated custom hats for pARTygoers.
The custom button machine is popular every year.
ACACIA created pretty glass bead jewelry.
Make your own political sticker—a creative idea for election season.
LAF collected money for the Red Cross local flood relief.
This Ultimate Frisbee player rested briefly at the table.
The Arts Society showed that there was nothing icky about creating exquisite corpses.
Every little girl (and some big ones) wanted NIA to braid her hair.
The Marquis Players encouraged inner children to make paper bag puppets.
LACSA offered t-shirts and bright smiles.
Sanda chowed down at the ACA table.
ISA wrote names in Chinese and Urdu!
The Marquis literary magazine was hot off the press.
After her lunch, Sanda moved on to LAF's henna tattoos.
Those are some cool toppers!
The neuroscientists joined the pARTy for the first time.
Student performers kept the pARTy lively at both ends of the block.
Campus favorites Dan and Amanda opened the pARTy.
Cadence filled the air with sweet sounds.
The Lafayette Dancers were an energetic presence.
The Hispanic Society's dancers drew a crowd.
Polo shirts and harmony were the order of the day for the Chorduroys.
The Pep Band hustled between the pARTy, the alumni bash, and the game.
Student art brightened the day.
Lisa Klenn and her mom offered a variety of colorful hand-painted creations.
Caitlin Chandler displayed and sold her beautiful jewelry.
Danielle Schreier works magic with a Polaroid camera to create her art.
Sara Kreisel's mom helped keep an eye on her tableful of hand-thrown pots.
All kinds of activities spanned the block from Hamilton to McCartney.
Oh, those wacky college kids.
Lunch is a very important feature of the pARTy.
"Wassamatta, kid? I'm a friendly Pard."
Aflicktion set up a Frisbee course behind their table.
The Counseling Center decorated cookies and offered Green Zone information.
Did we mention the importance of lunch? The Almond Tree (left), The Quadrant (right), and Lafayette Dining Services (below, right) kept bellies full and taste buds happy.
Rita's Italian Ice was a refreshing (and free!) dessert.
The tattoo artists were busy all morning.
Assistant Dean of Students Amy Ahart got a new 'do.
Lawns up and down the street were full of pARTyers.
Smiling faces...that's what we like to see!
This little girl needed some persuading to accept a pink balloon critter from Stephen. (Looks like the young fellow behind her has escaped the Pard.)
Hey, everybody likes balloons!
