Show U.B. Birthday Party "Goldrush" was the theme for this year's Union Building Birthday Party. Scheduled for the week before finals, the Birthday Party celebration helped students alleviate some of the pressure that usually comes with final exams. Exhibits and displays ran for the week of March 4 through 8, with the culmination of the party taking place Friday night. Casinos, a saloon, a General Store, and a jail were some of the booths that were run by different Activities Board Committees, with the Special Events committee organizing the whole affair. Students were given an opportunity to jail friends, administration, and faculty members for a small fee of 25C, with bail being set at double the amount of the entry fee. Two movies were also shown as a part of the "Goldrush" celebration; "Paint Your Wagon", and a Charlie Chaplin film called 'The Gold Rush".
