Is your favorite word free? We have that in common! Treat yourself to some free cake and punch from University Program Council on Tuesday, October 27th at 12:15 near the Student Union on the plaza! A spirit banner can be signed also for the football team. UL Lafayette students, faculty, and staff are welcome.
Tuesday night, students can either watch a Halloween themed movie on the Student Union plaza at 7:00 PM or ignite their Halloween spirit by attending the UL Symphony 20th Annual Halloween Concert starting at 7:30 PM at Angelle Hall Auditorium. This event is free for all UL students, faculty, and staff with I.D. and for those 17 and younger. A general admission fee for adults is $8 and will benefit the UL-Lafayette Orchestra Program. A little storm trooper told me to expect some John Williams Star Wars (episode 4) music and guest appearances from the Star Wars Rebel and 501st Legions. Costumes are welcome!
