RLA event faces some rocky road

B.Y.O.P. Bring your own pint. 

B&Js in your PJs received a lot of student traffic Tuesday night as they arrived at the HUB for a pint of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. 

“Well, after having a year of hardly having any programs because of COVID, we just wanted to offer the students an opportunity to gather together, enjoy ice cream together, enjoy music and games.” RA Alexis Heller, 21, senior of Wisner, said. “To just interact with each other again.” 

The event was scheduled to begin at 9 p.m., but the resident advisors running the event decided to open the doors a little early. The line for signing into the event was throughout the Breezeway as people waited to get their pint of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. 

Heller wasn’t expecting the turn out that they ended up getting, hoping to get rid of a hundred pints before 11:30 p.m. 

The RAs were told originally to plan for 50 people. They ended up planning for 70, buying extra to make it a hundred and were still unable to make it to their original start time before all the pints of ice cream were claimed.
