What Controversy?
What’s wrong with having fun
between classes? Who made the
rule that school was just for
studying and no relaxation? This
writer feels it’s about time
something was provided for the
students to get together and have
some fun.
The commons is a place for the
students to get together for
fellowship. The library is a place
for the students to study. The
school does have a recreation
room far away from the study
area. It’s called the commons. It
will be great when the new
building opens, but for how we
should be allowed to enjoy the
facilities we have without being
condemned for it.
The majority of the students at
school are serious about getting
an education and enjoying a game
of pinball or ping pong between
classes. It is a lot more convenient
than driving to the local pizza
place for some relaxation.
Remember, all work and no
play will make John a dull
student. This writer would like to
thank the SGA for providing an
area where students can get
together and have a little fun.

Let's Play
Pinball
There’s been some controversy
regarding the pinball machines
and other recreation facilties in
the Student Commons. True,
there are some aspects that make
these facilities seem useless in an
institution of higher learning, but
there are some good points going
for this area too.
There are times when students
don’t have a class or any studying
to do and a game of electric tennis
or Foosball with some friends
help the time fly by.
There are times when all of us
are disappointed in ourselves or
• with someone close. A fast game
of pinball helps us ease some of
the mental anguish.
And perhaps the best reason is
the competition between the
teams in a game of ping-pong or
Foosball.
“Hey Beautiful could I interest
you in a game of pinball?”
