The second annual Floor Pong tournament, organized by Campus View Resident Assistant Ashlin R. Hollinger, was held Wednesday night in the Field House. Promoted by word of mouth and a YouTube video linked from the student portal, the event reintroduced the campus to a variation on table tennis in which surfaces beyond the table are fair game. Hollinger, a plastics and polymer engineering technology major who also provided these photos of his event, even convinced Cathy J. Specht − who teaches ping-pong and tennis as a part-time member of the fitness and lifetime sports faculty − to drop by with some hands-on instruction. Hollinger's inaugural Floor Pong tourney was chosen as the Residence Life Office's Educational Program of the Month when it was held last winter.
