Each house within the residence halls has its own blend of students with unique talents. Ben, from Sparta house, is the resident artist. His banner for Winter Carnival ’09 took first place. ''The first place ribbon was the first thing we got to put up in the trophy case this year, so that was pretty sick,'' admits Ben.
Ben stays active also in the administrative duties of the house. He’s their Inter-Residence Hall Council (IRHC) representative and substitutes as the representative for McNair Hall Association (MHA) meetings, as well.
What does Ben do for fun in the house? Two words — Free Drank. ''We go down during the weekdays to the cafeteria around 8 pm, play cards, eat, and talk. It’s just something we do now that we have unlimited swipes.''
