The fun doesn’t stop this weekend when the Campus Activities Board kicks off Parents’ Day weekend 1990.

Jennifer Spaulding, CAB chairman for Parents’ Weekend, said the three-day event will feature several exciting events.

The weekend will kick off Friday with a 6 p.m. Candlelight Bowl in the Huskie Den. At 7 p.m., students and their parents can see “Dick Tracy” in Cole 100. The 10 p.m. show will be in the Holmes Student Center’s Carl Sandburg Auditorium.

Or, if live comedy is more pleasing, nationally-renowned comedienne Elayne Boosler will perform at 8 p.m. in Sandburg. Tickets are $3 and on sale from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. today at the Pontiac Excitement Center in front of Founders Memorial Library.

Boosler is sponsored by Pontiac and U.S. Concepts. Part of the proceeds will go to the national chapter of Students Against Drunk Driving.

Saturday, students and parents will be welcomed from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Holmes Student Center Promenade Lounge. Also, guided tours of the campus and some academic departments will leave the library every hour on the hour from 9 a.m. until noon.
