RLA celebrates St. Patrick’s Day with students

By Dinema Mate

CSC’s Residential Life Association hosted a St. Patrick’s Day celebration in The Hub Saturday.  Despite the blizzard which hit Chadron last Wednesday, about a dozen students braved the weather to join in the festivities to celebrate this famed Irish holiday.  

The room was decked out in Irish green and various St. Patrick’s Day  decorations. Students joined in the spirit and sported some form or another of Paddy’s Day merchandise.  

The evening began with typical games known for the occasion such as: “Find the Potato,” in which Sydney Settle, 18, freshman of Lincoln, took the prize.  

Musical chairs and a variety of entertainment were provided and put together by the RAs  for the student’s enjoyment.

Sarah Peek, 19, from Colorado, Springs gave the event a big thumbs up, “It’s a fun evening and definitely different from the normal campus events,” she said.  

For their next event, RLA will be teaming up with NOCS to host a dance featuring the band “Victory Underground,” 8 p.m. Saturday, in Student Center Ballroom.
