RPAC hosts night of fun - Campus


A live band, bingo, prizes and a cameo appearance by Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee were just a few of the highlights of Friday's Moonlight Madness held at the Recreation and Physical Activity Center.

"We're just here to celebrate the completion of the RPAC," said Chigozirim Ekeke, a freshman in biochemistry.

Moonlight Madness, put on by the Student Wellness Center, provides fun, alcohol-free and drug-free activities every Friday night during fall, winter and spring quarters.

"Different organizations usually plan the late night events. The Wellness Center only plans a couple each quarter," said Katye Miller, a wellness coordinator for the Wellness Center.

The title for this Moonlight Madness was "Celebrate the RPAC." "I really like bingo, so I was excited to play," said Rachel Golden, a senior in Chemistry.Along with the food and fun, the event featured a live performance by the band, Introspect.

"The band sounded really good," said Allyse Washington, a junior in zoology.

The night also included a speech from Gee in which he presented the winning name of the RPAC's red walkway, now known as The Scarlet Skyway.

Students are encouraged to attend every Moonlight Madness event, starting at 9 p.m. and continuing until at least midnight.

"Now that I know about these events, I am sure I will be coming to a few more," Washington said.
