This may just be the eye of the storm, but the Fiesta Frenzy has settled down 
to a less hectic pace. With all of the game tickets sold and (hopefully) all 
of your travel plans made, there isn,t much left to do besides enjoy the 
holidays.

If you still can,t think of anything other than the Fiesta Bowl, we do have a 
couple of items for you to work into your schedule while you,re in Tempe.

One of the biggest events of the week is the Official OSU Pep Rally. This is 
the largest OSU-only event planned in Arizona, and will feature comments by 
Coach Erickson, Jonathon Smith and Ken Simonton, plus it,s FREE! The Pep 
Rally will be held at 4 p.m. on Sunday, December 31, at the Wells Fargo Arena 
on the Arizona State University campus. For more details, take a look at the 
Pep Rally web page: http://alumni.orst.edu/pep_rally.html

After the rally is over, it,s just a short walk to the Tempe Tostitos Fiesta 
Bowl Block Party, one of the biggest New Year,s Eve celebrations in the 
nation. More than 100,000 people annually ring in the New Year at this 
electrifying event that has been called one of the top places to spend New 
Year's Eve by USA Today. Tickets are $15 and are available now through the 
OSU Alumni Association. Call 541-737-2351.

On Friday, December 29, and Saturday, December 30, the OSU Alumni Association 
has organized two Beaver Believer Socials in Tempe. On Friday night from 6 to 
9 p.m. we,ll be at McDuffy,s Sports Bar, located in downtown Tempe at 230 
West 5th Street, one block west of Mill Avenue. The event is open to anyone 
21 and over, and if you show your OSU Alumni Association membership card, the 
$5 cover charge will be waived.

On Saturday night, we,ll be at Club Rio, located at 430 N. Scottsdale Rd, one 
block south of the 202 Loop in Tempe. Club Rio is an official Beaver "hub" in 
the heart of downtown Tempe and will accommodate around 2,000 Beaver fans who 
want to show their Beaver spirit. Join the band, cheerleaders and Benny 
Beaver at this high-energy event! The $5 cover charge is waived to all fans 
who wear Beaver gear or say 'Go Beavers' between 7-9 p.m. Must be 21 years of 
age or older.

Other events include:

on Saturday, December 30; an Alumni Clubs and Communities Interest Session at 
the Tempe Mission Palms hotel on Sunday, December 31; and a College of 
Engineering gathering at ASU,s Karsten Golf Course also on Sunday. For
