Weekend revelers can get ready for an ocean of fun as Green Key Weekend goes island style this year with the return of the reggae band Lambsbread and Delta Gamma sorority's Anchors Aweigh fundraiser. The weekend even got off to a watery start as a brief, but pounding rainstorm drenched the campus on Thursday afternoon at the start of the second annual Block Party on Webster Avenue. The skies cleared up in time for the party, however, and the tropically-themed Green Key Weekend had an auspicious beginning. Jaime Kleinman '00, the Green Key chair for the Programming Board, said the island theme grew out of the idea of having a reggae band.

Graduation preparations begin

By Eric Tanouye | May 23, 1996

Piles of wood and steel materialized on the north side of the Green yesterday afternoon, indicating the beginning of the College's Commencement preparations. This year's Commencement exercises will be able to accommodate nearly 2,000 more audience members than in years past because of a new seating configuration that will allow the entire senior class to sit together in the middle of the audience, said Olivia Chapman, assistant director of Public Programs. Holding the exercises on the Green, rather than in front of Baker Library as in past years, will allow a wider seating configuration for seniors, graduate school students and professional school students. In all, there will be room for approximately 11,000 audience members and graduates at this year's ceremonies, Chapman said. "There will be six sections in the front of the seating area for graduating students," she said.
