There were annual campus tourna- ments in chess, 8-ball billiards and table tennis. Students en- joyed the arcade games, pool tables, ping pong tables, pinball machines, foozball and air hockey. There was no other area on campus that offered so many activities for students to enjoy while hanging out and being themselves.

I come for the arcade games between class, and often lose track of time when playing the pinball machines, said junior Masayoshi Tsukioka. Sam ' s Place appealled to both the high school crowd and parents when they came to tour the campus. I always see Sam ' s Place crowded and full of people, even on the weekends. This place invites everyone and that is why I come, said junior Sean Sleight. 2£ Campus Life Photo by Andrew Reimisch
