The Residence Hall Association took the classic childhood game Twister and multiplied it by six.

As a part of the RHA’s Spring Fling event, a giant game of Twister was hosted Monday at the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union Ballroom.

Six regular twister mats were set up side by side making one huge Twister game.

Andrew Lilek, a sophomore graphic design major and the RHA treasurer, said the RHA decided on playing Twister because it was something different for students to be apart of.

Lilek said the event did not have the turn out the RHA was hoping for, seeing that only five students came to participate in the game.

The playing field went from six to two mats making a slightly larger than normal Twister game but not as large of a game that the RHA planned on playing with.

The winner of the game was Erika Foster, a senior business major.

Foster said she came out to the event just for fun and that she knew she was going to win before the game even started.

Foster said she prepared for the event a head of time.

“I even have a Twister board in my car right now,” Foster said.

The first player to take a tumble and be kicked out of the game was Dondre Keeler, the RHA Vice President and a sophomore Family and Consumer Science major.

Unlike Foster, Keeler said he went into the game knowing he was not going to win.

Lilek was the second player to be eliminated from the game.

Lilek said even though he cannot call himself the winner he still had a good time participating.

“It’s not about winning or losing it’s about having fun,” Lilek said.

Ashley Marshall, a senior management major and Calla Summers, a sophomore psychology major, were the last two players to loose making Foster the winner.

After the game Foster said she had fun playing and winning was simple for her because “winner’s never quit.”
