Rune, tarot card, palm readings entertain students

The Resident Life Association hosted the second annual fortune telling event Tuesday in the Gold Room.

The event featured a few RAs from different dormitory buildings on campus, including Mike Steube, 21, senior of Plattsmouth; Curtis Stevens, 23, senior of Ogallala; and Katie Tobin, 20, junior of Mount Kisco, New York. Steube took care of everything up front, keeping track of attendance and drawing names from a jar for door prize winners.

Stevens and Tobin each had their own tables in which they performed fortune telling techniques of different cultures.

Steube said the goal of the event was to show diversity in a way that residents were not used to, and claimed that RLA plans to keep this event in the rotation for years to come.

The turnout was something for the hosts to be proud of, as it exceeded its turnout from last year by far. Students seemed interested in what could be a possible reading about their futures.

“It was all spot-on,” Joey Hopkins, 22, senior of Seattle, said. “I was expecting it to be all B.S., but it surprised me.

“My favorite reading was when the card reader told me that my future was free-spirited and undetermined, which meant I won’t follow one path.”

Not all participants were as excited as Hopkins about their readings, as some painted negative illustrations of peoples’ futures. However, they seemed to enjoy the event nonetheless.
