Whenever people get together, they usually start playing games for fun. Drinking games are popular at parties where there are one hundred people or just four or five. In the dorms, where two to four people are together tand where liquor is illegali for what can be long, duil hours, games with a few neighbors or friends can help reiieve tension, break the ennui, and get everybody laughing. First, the drinking games. They can become really imaginative if you get a deck of cards or some change. Most of them start out on the same basic premise: if you fail to get a certain thing you have to take a drink. The first game can be done with pennies or quarters. Everybody gets a full glass and some change. Then you flip your penny or quarter. Heads you get to give your glass to the person of your choice; tails - you have to drink it yourself. Another game with quarters tsometimes called Chandeliersi re- quires that you flip a quarter into the glass. if you miss it, you have to drink it. Cards can be used, too. Up the riverrdown the river is one card game combined with drinking. Each person gets four cards. Then three cards are laid face up in the center. Thatis up the river and if you have a matching numbered card you can give your drink to whomever you want. Then three more cards are laid down going the opposite way. if you have a match, you have to drink it your- self. iilt's fun and you get drunk really fast, said one experienced player. Not all games involve drinking, however. Trivial Pursuit is good if youtre stuck on a long weekend. There are five different kinds of i solitaire alone. Poker games can usually be scared up with a few neighbors or friends. And if plain poker gets boring, you can switch to blackjack or something else. Indian is a fun variation. Every player is dealt one card, face down, and cant look at it. Then, without looking, you raise it face out to your forehead, so you can see what everybody else has, but you dont know what your own card is. Then you place bets accordingly and everybody has a good time laughing at how silly you feel holding a card up over your forehead. Wherever you get college students together, from different backgrounds, with different ideas, and they let their imaginations go, you're sure to come up with interesting games. These are just a few, but every group, every fraternity, every dorm room has their own set of games that have become just another piece of the college experience. BY DONNA WILLS AND REBECCA ROBIN- ETTE ? BEER AND QUARTERS can be the beginning of some interesting games. Fraternities usually have a supply of both.
