picture of a man in a biggfoot costumeAs a prehistoric primate that has wandered the foothills of Oklahoma for the better half of a millennium, I have had the time to take in many different experiences, but none like what I saw on one Friday night of Camp Crimson. An incoming freshman at the University of Oklahoma walked into a ballroom decorated with an over the top light show and fully illuminated stage, housing a disc jockey and dance crew. A look of awe struck across the students face as the music vibrated through him like trampling mammoths in mating season. As the student fought to regain his grip on reality, his brain and lips miraculously found each other to utter the words, “I can’t believe that this is college!”

This was the reaction of many incoming freshman at Camp Crimson’s Annual Retro Night hosted by the Union Programming Board. This Dance Party presented many surprises for students including photo booth glamor shots, bingo, Wii Mario Cart Racing, a surprise dance crew and other encouraged forms of revelry. UPB also provided indulgences like free Starbucks Coffee drinks and Wendy’s famous chocolate frosties. Needless to say, students were ecstatic over the entertainment the Union Programming Board had to offer. While some students differed like apples and Citrus sinensis1, none were able to escape the overwhelming atmosphere that engulfed the Molly Shi Boren Ballroom that night.
