72 hours continued from page 18 Laughter, blaring stereos and students cheering echoed through Aggieville, fraternities and off-campus houses, Sept. 3. The night ' s activities began with the last night of Purple Power Play on Poyntz where students and the Manhattan community enjoyed a live band and fireworks. Students under 21 enjoyed life outside Aggieville, while others Q lined the streets waiting to enter Kite ' s Bar and Grill, Rusty ' s Last Chance and Shotz. We can ' t get into any of the bars, Sage Shepherd, freshman in engineering, said, but we can still throw a kick-ass party with kegs. Meanwhile, at the parties outside Aggieville, students played [ card games, like Presidents and Assholes, or P A, danced and ' ■ ' ■ ■ participated in keg stands located in the basements of off-campus r T parties. I just follow my friends around from party to party, Kelley Reeve, sophomore in open-option, said. ' As long as I have my vodka and Seven-Up, I ' m good to go. Attending parties allowed students to let loose and forget about their classes and tests they needed to study for, Sage Himmerz, freshman in open-option, said. I have to get up early every other morning of the week, Him- merz said. (Friday) is the only night I get to go out and party. Most people hung out with friends to enjoy their free time, while some looked for a significant other. I ' m here for the ladies, Shepherd said. I don ' t want any red heads though, just blondes and brunettes. Later that evening, Mike Edwards, junior in marketing, cele- brated a friend ' s 21st birthday with four kegs. On-campus residents played video games and socialized in their residence halls while studying. I play a lot of video games when I don ' t drink, Shepherd said. I play video games when I do drink. I just play a lot of video games and look for the ladies. Although a majority of students partied on Friday night, some left for home to see their families. I ' m going to go to the (football) game tomorrow evening and then head back to Kansas City. Rebecca J. Brown, freshman in business administration, said. I ' m ready to see my fa mily and have my mom do my laundry. continued on page 23 As party-goers raise their glasses, Tru Knudsen, freshman in mechanical engineering, starts a game of Circle of Death at a party, Sept. 3. Knudsen said he also enjoyed a gome he called ' Beer Die. ' You have four cups, and there are four people playing, Knudsen said. One side tries to (throw the die) in the other team ' s cup. If you make it, (the other team has) to drink their beer. Photo by Chris Hanewinckel .-20 smdent life
