February 6-9th marked the 50th anniversary of the British invasion by The Beatles, and COMM RAP celebrated this weekend with events centered around “Beatlemania” and the effects on U.S. culture. On Thursday, professors Babicz, Jamieson, and Watterworth gathered to give presentations and facilitate discussion with Kittredge Complex residents about its effects of the Beatles on American society. Friday was the Beatlemania bash where there were prizes for the best Beatles karaoke sound-a-like and winner of the Beatles trivia contest.
