One hundred people were surveyed.

They were asked to name something that might annoy a college roommate.

“Passing gas,” said the red squad.

Friday night in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union, students attended the “Up all Night: Battle of the Sexes” social sponsored by University Board and spent the evening participating in other entertaining activities.

Andrew Hubbard, UB special events coordinator, said the board, along with the Union, planned for the event months in advance.

“We wanted to leave a small margin for error,” said the sophomore corporate communications major.

At the event, students had a chance to battle it out in the game shows Family Feud and Battle of the Sexes.

Game Show Gurus, an entertainment company from Hoffman Estates, provided the equipment for the games.

Melissa Kearns, senior elementary major, said she enjoyed every minute of the games.

“It was awesome,” she said.

During the game show, men and women were placed on opposite teams for the Battle of Sexes.

Both the women and men had to hula-hoop, stuff balloons in their clothes, limbo and perform other activities to be the ultimate winner.

By a close margin, the women won.

Kearns walked away from the event with a proud smile on her face.

“I rock at trivia,” she said.

While the game show was being held in the Grand Ballroom, students had an opportunity to participate in other social activities.

“We tried to have an intercourse sponsorship by making events coincide with each other,” Hubbard said.

Options for students were key to this event, he said.

Students had the opportunity to test their stress levels, watch a movie, laugh out loud with comedian Retta or take time out with a masseuse.

“The massage will be the highlight of this event,” said Sarah Grant, senior elementary education major.

During the events, bachelor and bachelorette pads were set up for the students.

Hubbard said each room was arranged according to stereotypical opposite sex interests.

For the women, chocolates, a vegetable tray and a DVD of the MTV series “The Hills” decorated the room.

The men enjoyed “The Dave Chapelle Show,” and “World Championship Wrestling” while eating nachos and sub sandwiches.

Both of the rooms contained sign-up sheets for five minute massages.

The company Massage on the Go provided the service.

Joy Holmes, the masseuse, said she felt good energy since the event started.

“Young people are exciting,” she said.

Grant said the massage was just what she needed.

“It was complete serenity,” she said.

Students were seen with pina colada slurpies, balloon characters and face-painted masks.

Pictures also were taken for the backdrop of dry erase boards.

Unfortunately, the line became too long, and people were turned away.

But this did not stop students from forming a long line for balloon characters.

Students requested Disney characters, aliens, and monkeys hanging on a palm tree for their balloon creations.

At 10 p.m., Hubbard said he thought there were about 400 people enjoying the festivities.

Omar Solomon, junior communications studies major, was pleased with “Up all Night.”

“It felt good to get involved and just relax,” Solomon said. “This was a good way to help me get my mind off of upcoming finals.”
