With the
holidays approaching soon, the William Pitt Union became festive with
lights, lights, and lights. The lights helped inaugurate the 2nd
annual Light Up Night on Tues, Nov 29, 05 from 5:00 pm. – 9:00 pm. which
was organized and put together by Elizabeth Blasi, a Student Government
Board member who received help and assistance from many organizations.
Students
lined up different stations to make cookie jars, greeting cards for
Children’s Hospital, edible Gingerbread house, Panther Pitt ornaments,
cookie decorations, and have their picture taken with the ice sculpture
of the Cathedral of Learning.
Students
were also very excited to get free food and free T-shirts! The
festivities only began with those but as the evening went on, students
were exposed to some of the University of Pittsburgh’s singing groups
such as Heinz Chapel Choir, Some of God’s Children, The Pendelums, and
the Sounds of Pleasure. The Dance Ensemble performed too!
The
holidays make people think about giving more than normal days. It was
not different at Light Up Night as fraternities and sororities raised
money for charitable organizations and different religious organizations
had their tables to signify the upcoming season.
Light Up
Night concluded with a solo piano and singing performance by Peace Ike,
a member of Campus Crusade for Christ and a Resident Assistance of
Holland Hall. She drew a crowd who watched or joined in to sing songs
with her.
