Shaving cream flew and shrieks were heard as the women of Sherley Hall broke from their normal activities to have a little fun.

Sherley residents and resident assistants tumbled around the yard outside Sherley yesterday laughing and soaking each other with shaving cream during their third hall event this semester.

The theme “Why cram when you can cream?” was designed to give Sherley residents a break from studying.

“Instead of cramming for their tests, we wanted to give them something fun and different to do,” said resident assistant Courtney Kink.

The participants ran around for about 20 minutes spraying each other, coming back several times to reload on shaving cream.

They were only supposed to spray each other from the neck down, but at the end of the fight, all the participants were covered in white from head to toe. Their hair stood straight up in mohawks because there was so much shaving cream in it.

“People have fun getting to act like kids,” said RA Mary Kelly, who cheered the participants from a distance.

The residents seemed to spend most of their time spraying the RAs.
“I knew all the RAs, so I got them really good,” said freshman Stephanie Jones, who participated in the event.

One RA, Katie Anderson, was only going to watch the event until a resident ran up and sprayed her down with shaving cream. Then she decided to go out into the yard between Colby Hall and Sherley to join the others.

“It was more fun than I thought it would be,” Anderson said.

When Hall Director Rebecka Guzman went into the yard, all the residents rushed around to spray her.

Staying true to the theme, the participants munched on Krispy Kreme donuts, ice cream sandwiches and baked potatoes with sour cream after their fight.

“It was a nice break. Everybody definitely had a lot of fun,” freshman Lauren Geffert said.
