The only catch is that we have to limit each club to sending six members,
and you'll need to show a student I.D. to be admitted.
The dance will be held at the SIU Student Center ballrooms, in Carbondale,
from 8-11 p.m. The Bill Kokos orchestra, a big band from Chicago, will be
providing the music. The organizers have decided to make this a "black tie
optional" event, but if guys wear a nice shirt and pants and ladies wear a
dress or skirt and blouse you'll be fine -- or feel free to dress up as much
as you want. The Student Center ballrooms have large hardwood floors that
are great for dancing!
DIRECTIONS:
>From the north or east: Take I-57 South to Marion, exit at Rt. 13 and go
West to Carbondale (about 13 miles).
>From the west: Take I-64 to exit 50 (Nashville, IL) and take Rt. 127 South
to Murphysboro. At Murphysboro, get on Rt. 13 and go East to Carbondale
(about 5 miles).
In Carbondale: From Rt. 13, get on Rt. 51 South (University Ave.).
Continue until you see the university on your right. Pass Grand Ave.
(four-lane street to the left). At the next light, turn right and follow
the drive around to the Student Center (brick building on right, close to
drive). There's guest parking across the street next to the stadium (yes,
believe it or not, that's our stadium). Ballrooms are up the steps and to
the left.
**Be sure to bring your student I.D. so you can be admitted as our guest**
