Despite the rain, WOU students lined up outside the old PE building last Friday for a chance to play laser tag. Students had to fill out waivers in order to play. The event was put on by Weekend Wolfpack and Western Housing.
This fun and laser-filled event was held on Jan. 15, and was free. Luke Etherton, a sophomore psychology major, helped to run the event.
“I think we were at about a hundred,” Etherton said, when asked about how many people had attended the event.
“I liked the obstacles you got to hide behind,” said Erin Heaberlin, a first year biology education major.
Accompanied by bumping music, students were split into teams of 12 and maneuvered around obstacles on the course, located in the old PE gymnasium. They were given 28 lives on their weapons, and if they were hit, the headbands connected to the weapons flashed red.
Michael Carrol, Resident Director of Heritage Hall, said that the laser tag event has been held for around eight years on the Western campus.
“Weekend Wolfpack is essentially our weekend program we do through Housing. The mission of Weekend Wolfpack is to bring in events for students on the weekends,” said Carol.
