With the courtyard between Wil- liams and Howick the setting, volley- ball participants served, spiked and slid through the slightly puddled courts to get that extra point for their team. The crowd, many watching from their dorm rooms, kept the at- mosphere alive with words of encour- agement and stereo music.
