Guerilla Programming to provide weekend events on-campus
Highlander Staff
Guerilla Programming, a newly created events coordinating group, will host a Halo tournament on Microsoft's X-Box video game system Saturday night in the Dining Hall.
The group's aim is to design events to keep students on-campus over the weekends. Freshmen Tim Etzkorn and Marcus Trucco, sophomore Tony Haug and senior Ryan Thomas collaborated on creating the organization. "We all noticed that there isn't anything on-campus to do on the weekends. We figured that providing things to for students to do would be beneficial. It will give people something to do on-campus free of cost."
Saturday's tournament will not be the first event hosted by Guerilla Programming. The past two Saturdays a number of bands played in the Dining Hall was free for students. The concerts were attended by approximately one hundred people, including both students and outside fans, said Haug.
The organization has been advertising, perhaps ambiguously, with flyers featuring a gorilla on a white backdrop. Of the poster design, Haug notes, "We've been trying to generate something of a buzz. Lots of people have been talking about the flyers, so I think it could be working."
Guerilla Programming plans to organize weekend programs and events for most of the remaining semester weekends.
