Farmington Hills junior Dan MacHue said riding the mechanical bull at Get Acquainted Day was something more students should try.

"It's great," MacHue said. "I think this is somthing everyone should do atleast once."

The 30th annual Get Acquainted Day on Wednesday at Warriner Mall included the mechanical bull and a carinval-like atomsphere, as well as tables of organizations with which students could get involved.

The event, sponsored by Minority Student Services, featured representatives from local businesses in the community and had various rides and activities and tables.
