A-Week activities range from comedy and 5K race to True
Aggie Night
By Britt Shepherd
April 17, 2007 | Two showings in the TSC Ballroom
of the recently released movie Deja Vu kicked
off this year's "A-Week" celebrations.
A-Week has been a Utah State tradtition for years.
Hosted by the Utah State Student Alumni Association,
it started out as A-Day. This day was set aside each
spring for all students and faculty members to give
the campus a "thorough grooming." During A-Day, students
would participate in activities such as projects, free
lunch, assemblies, a football game on the QUAD and a
student dance.
Now, A-Day has turned into A-Week. It consists of
activities and service projects. Some of the most popular
include True Aggie Night, Day on the Quad, a 5K race,
and Senior Celebration. There are fun activities planned
for each day this week.
Tuesday will be a comedy night hosted by the improvisational
comedy group Laughing Stock. There will be free chips
and salsa, and for the first 100 people who attend,
there will be free Carl's Jr. It starts at 7 p.m. and
will cost $2.
Wednesday is the annual Senior Celebration. A party
will be from 7 until 9 p.m. in the Sunburst Lounge and
prizes will be given to graduating seniors. For graduates,
the event is free. For everyone else, the cost is $5.
Thursday, a "Lunch for the Bunch" will be on the TSC
patio. For $1, students can get submarine sandwiches,
Popcicles and drinks. That night, there will be a battle
of the bands. It will be in the TSC Ballroom and free
drinks will be provided. For the first 200 people there
will be free Carl's Junior.
Friday is the Day on the Quad. From 10 a.m. until
3 p.m. the Quad will be filled with booths from all
the clubs and organizations on campus. There will also
be live bands, food and blow-up toys. That night is
True Aggie Night. There will be a live DJ and, of course,
plenty of kissing.
Finally on Saturday night there will be the Spring
Formal, The Blue Carpet Ball. Live DJ's and bands will
perform beginning at 8:30 p.m. The cost is $12 per couple.
"We've put a lot of work into A-Week this year, and
we know it's going to be a lot of fun," says Alyson
Shepherd, Student Alumni Assocation member. "Everyone
should come to the activities."
