The Residence Hall Association members reviewed ROCFest, Breast Cancer Awareness Week and Pink Party Thursday in Lawson Hall.

The RHA members also presented a raffle.

The meeting concluded with the raffle with prizes consisting of a printer, gift cards and headphones, and everyone was given a piece of cake.

The RHA executive board updated the other RHA members over the status of the “Panther Babies,” which is panther origami hidden across the campus for students to find during the scavenger hunt as a part of ROCFest.

Secretary Dawn Howe, a senior family services major, said most of the “Panther Babies” that were hidden have not been found yet.

There are a total of 200 “Panther Babies,” but 150 were hidden and so far only 55 have been found up to this point.

The last chance to find the “Panther Babies” will be Friday, and students can get to find a clue on the RHA Facebook page.

Liz Burbatt, the national residence hall honorary president, said the organization has raised $971 from the Pink Party, which took place Sunday in Andrews Hall.

Burbatt, a senior sociology major, said she had tremendous gratitude for how the party turned out and all who attended.

“I think the Pink Party was a huge success,” she said.

The ROCFest will be coming to a close on Friday at the closing picnic

The RHA executive board members expressed their satisfaction with everyone who participated and contributed this week.

The closing picnic will be open to everyone from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the South Quad.

At this time, the dunk tank will be open to anyone who would jump for the chance to dunk one of the several people who will be participating in this event.

The people who are getting dunked will be Lisa New Freeland, a sociology professor, Mark Hudson, the director of housing and dining, Michael King, the associate resident director of Taylor Hall, Laura Imbirowicz, the resident director of Lawson Hall, Katherine Bass, a sociology professor, and Burbatt.

“I’m so excited for this,” Burbatt said. “I hope many people will come out and donate for the cause.”

The donations will be going to both Mills Breast Cancer Institute in Urbana, Ill., and Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center in Charleston.

There will also be inflatable joust matches and food provided at the picnic.

The next RHA meeting will be at 5 p.m. Thursday in Ford Hall.
