Across Campus -- Fire-eating and BBQ

Friday's Club Expo drew a record numbers of students to sign up for nearly 100 clubs, thanks in no small part to an array of bands, inflatable carnival attractions, a flight simulator and "wax hands."

There was even a fire-eater, who arrived a bit later than expected due to a wrong turn. "I guess that happens to the best of fire-eaters," remarks Matt Milless, director of student activities, who coordinated the event. As it turned out, his late arrival was something of an advantage – his fire showed up better in the dark.

Fresh off winning the most student votes for "Best Ribs" at the Student Activity Fair on Friday, Skellar Manager Dale Metzger and his crew pulled out the stops with outdoor grilled selections (including the famous ribs) and a band, No Outlet, providing the entertainment.

And proudly displayed in the center of it all: the trophy the Skellar won for "Best Ribs."

So, what's that something that makes the Skellar ribs so special? "Love," says Metzger.
