From 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., boogie down to forgotten jams like “Don’t Worry, Be Happy,” “Jesse’s Girl” and “Mr. Roboto.””We are hoping a lot of students will come and have a good time,” class council business manager and junior Sameer Godiwala said. The Class of 2006 is hosting this bash to provide a fun time for the whole UR community. The festivities are certain to be a gnarly time, for sure.

Pop your collar and toss on a vintage costume to complement the elaborate 80s dcor and get ready to look awesome showing off your running man skills!”We have never hosted a party like this before,” Godiwala said. “Everyone should come and have fun!”Paret can be reached at eparet@campustimes.org.
