So SCOPE planned a lot of great events this past week, as always of course. We had our regular movie night and weekend events, but also events put on by Day Programming and the Comedy and Lecture Committees.
As always, let’s start with Film Committee. This week’s movie was Inception with Leonardo Dicaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Ellen Page. It was really good, because who wouldn’t want Leo coming into your dreams? It was filled with comedy, action, and if you’re the type of person that likes those thinking movies, this movie was made for you. Bartels Café was filled with fans on both nights that the movie was showing. It was such a popular movie. Film even had popcorn Friday night, and, believe me, they went through a lot of it. The next movie coming up is The Other Guys, with Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, showing on Tuesday and Friday in Bartels Café @ 9 p.m. Come early at 8:30 p.m. to find out information on the Harry Potter Movie trip that is coming up on November 18.
On Wednesday of last week, SCOPE Day Programming had their Fun in the Sun event. Students were able to walk into the Alumni Lounge and do all those great summer activities that they thought they wouldn’t be able to do for the next nine months. There was “Make Your Flips Flops”, sand art, suncatchers, cut out beach photos, a tiki bar, and there was even a motorized surf board. All of this was brought into the Alumni Lounge. It was a fun time had by all.
This weekend was also jammed packed with some great events. Those few that were not standing in line for Deepher Dude joined SCOPE Weekends for a Game Night. We had some people play Pictionary and Candy Land, some childhood favorites. We all seem to have forgotten how hard Candy Land is to win. Then we all came together for a game of Apples to Apples, which was a bunch of laughs.
On Saturday, Weekend Programming brought Robert Channing: Mind Reader to Dodds Theatre. He started off with some simple number reading and then covered his eyes with quarters, duct tape, a blind fold, and then some more duct tape. Everyone was wincing about just thinking of how terrible that was to take off. After that, he proceeded to guess some items that were taken from the audience by some audience members, and after the audience wrote some info down on an index card, he proceeded to predict some audience members futures, even mine. Apparently I am going to marry a rich man; I think I like it.
This weekend was great, but if you missed out, don’t worry because there is some more great events coming up. On Friday, Weekends is having Pottery Painting from 7-9 p.m. in the Programming Space, and then on Saturday we are taking a trip to a Hockey Game. Sign-ups are on Wednesday night at 10 p.m. online. Look out for emails for the sign ups.
To begin this week, SCOPE Comedy and Lecture Committee had Rebecca Armstrong brought to the Alumni Lounge on Monday. Rebecca used to be a Playboy Playmate and is also HIV positive. She came to campus to talk about how she has dealt with this and how students can prevent it. It was a great performance and definitely a good message that she sent out. Everyone that came to the lecture was blown away. Be sure to look for more great events from Comedy and Lecture next semester. Stay tuned in!
