Last Friday night MSU held a party of its own. As people approached the Student Center they could feel the rhythm of the salsa drums blasting from one of the inside rooms of the cafeteria, where a few young ladies were busy instructing the guys and gals how to get every twist and twirl just right. The front of the floor led a passageway connecting to the other room, where groups of friends were choosing what they wanted airbrushed on their hats and tees. Two roommates giggled hysterically as they shared their goofy caricature.
The seating area in the cafeteria was converted into a mini-golf course where many showed off their skilled swings. Across from the course stood a machine that allowed students to make their own pixie sticks. Everyone was so excited about this notion that in two hours there were no pixie sticks left, but there was much more to eat and enjoy. In the main lobby stood a long table filled with goodies includings MSU pens, lip-shaped whistles, mini paper fans, key chains and more. On another table was a slot machine for the casino fans. Some of the students were hungry and food was at hand: a cart provided yummy hot dogs and pretzels.
Down the hall in the karaoke room many demonstrated their hidden talent. The dim lights gave way for slow jams and upbeat clubs songs.
"It was a good way for the students to show off their talent and really express themselves," said Percy Enrique Chang, a senior and broadcasting major who enjoyed the music and hosted the room.
Matt Yochin, a sophomore, screamed, "I'm shaking with excitement. I want to go back," referring to the sumo-wrestling match he had just tied with his buddy,
Josh Weinstein, a junior, replied, "You totally went down; that was fun."
A mat and attire was provided for whoever dared to enter the ring. On the other side, a pillow-fighting match was taking place.
According to Tremayne Reid, junior, member of Phi Beta Sigma, "I got a lot of frustration out."
