SUA puts on the ritz for party
By Nathan Dayani
Kansan staff writer
The decade of decadence was alive and well at the Student Union Activities" "Totally '80s Bash" Friday night, accented by flavored ice, music from Michael Jackson and the timeless party game Twister.
About 30 people attended the event on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union.
"It was fun," Karen Schraeder, Hutchinson sophomore said. "I wish more people showed up but it was really cool getting ready—going out and finding clothes and talking about everything that happened in the '80s."
Although the event was part of Hawk Week, it was geared for more than just freshmen and
transfer students, said Fallon Farokhi, Lawrence junior and president of SUA.
"It's kind of an atmosphere where students can let their guards down a little bit," she said. "It allows them to be a little more comfortable, so that when one of them sees another on campus they can lock eyes, smile and remember that 'Hey, you had the pink hoops on.'"
Farokhi said low attendance was mostly due to students partying off campus.
"The way we look at it, you can go anywhere in Lawrence and be in a house party," she said. "But where else can you go to an '80s theme party where you can win prizes and see your friends dressed up in August?"
The party featured a nostalgic
quiz show in which students recalled classic '80s movies and songs. Prizes included Pat Benetar cassettes, makeup and Pez candv
The bash concluded with a fashion show won by Sara Etchison, Hollyrood junior. Etchison, who sported a flowered shirt, blue jeans with a hole in the knee and neon blue-and-pink Nikes, said Cyndi Lauper and Barbie inspired her wardrobe.
Unfortunately for Etchison her childhood crush — Alex P. Keaton, Michael J. Fox's character on the '80s sitcom Family Ties, did not attend the party.
