Transcript | Games Galore! It seems an idiosyncrasy to college students-the ability to get bored on a school night with mountains of homework and studying to do. Fortunately our RAs were sympathetic to our problem because they were such caring people... or because they were students, too. Whatever the cause, on Monday Oct. 18, RA Kathleen McKenzie prepared to tackle the problem of the "mid-week school-night slump". She invited her students to a program she called "Games Galore". Armed with a veritable barrage of games, she set out to brighten her resident's night. Games Galore exposed the residents of 2nd floor Bates to a variety of popular board games. McKenzie came equipped with old standbys-Monopoly and Scrabble-as well as new favorites like Outburst and Boggle. While the residents were eager to try each game, Oynthia Hardeman, senior psychology/sociology major, screams out words as Mary Scheltz, sophomore, undeclared, checks off correct answers. Tameka Eugene, junior biology major and David Frankfort, junior technology major look on.

DOSS^a a consensus was finally reached, and Outburst was the game of choice. The participants split into two teams, each consisting of six people, and proceeded to try to prove who was most knowledgeable about a myriad of trivia topics. Games Galore was hosted in the room of residents Tequila Evans, sophomore business major and Kimberly Huguley, sophomore psychology major. "It was fun," Evans said. "At first I was skeptical; I thought we'd all feel stupid, but it wasn't like that. I met people I didn't even know who lived on my floor." When asked why she held the function, McKenzie said, "When you play lots of games, you make lots of noise and when you make lots of noise, lots of people come by. I like people involved in floor functions and this worked." -LaGuana K. Gray Residence Halls Games Galore 65) 141 |
