Pillow Fight!

Tonight marked the 3rd Annual Pillow Fight/Primal Scream. Not that we needed to tell you that; anyone who wasn't getting a good night's rest before a final (ha!) or listening to very loud music probably just heard about 25 straight minutes of screaming emanating from South Lawn.

The be-pillowed masses started to gather at 11:50 PM or so, slowly migrating out of Butler and the dorms and congregating by the sundial. An official-sounding girl with a pillow (UPDATE: "The lovely" Nina Bell, founder of the pillow fight Correct UPDATE: Lindsey Kaley, this year's event organizer.) instructed the ranks to split in two, and half retreated to the steps of Butler, while half stayed put at the sundial.


Guide To The Weekend (Returns)
Pardon the temporary hiatus -- but if finals and papers are killing you as much as they're killing us, perhaps it's time for a break anyway.
