May 18 was a beautiful day, so Slivkans got together with faculty Fellows and took an excursion to the Evanston Farmer’s Market. It was a day of local food and fun for all.
Farmer’s Market
Painting the Rock!
Starting May 15th, Wednesday night, Slivka began to guard the rock. After more than 24 hours of guarding, we painted it Thursday night (well, Friday at midnight). The front said “go Slivka!” in silver and white, and the rest was blue. The side said “so this is outside?” Each Slivkan that painted the rock then signed their name on the bench.
RCB Field Day 2013
On May 11, Slivka and all the other Residential Colleges headed down to the Lakefill to participate in a day of outside fun. Highlights included a Slivka overall win, and Slivka championships in the Master’s Mile [pictured], human dodgeball, and the tug-of-war.
Mafia
On May 9th, several Slivkans engaged in a mafia murder mystery, led by Citizen Dane.
Grad Life Panel
On May 9th, our Academic Chair, Suhong Jin, brought in a handful of graduate students from Northwestern University. We then had an open discussion where residents were able to ask them about graduate life.
The Onion Live
On May 8th, eight lucky Slivkans visited the filming of The Onion Live, a comedy show hosted by the Second City.
Balloon Animals
On May 1, Historian Committee presented its Spring fireside: How To Make Balloon Animals!
Sandwich Making
On April 30th, a group of Slivkans banded together in the rec lounge for a Philanthropy Event. The group made fifty bagged lunches – containing sandwiches and other snacks – for Connections for the Homeless in Evanston.
Origami
On April 25th, two local Slivkans brought together a group of people and taught them how to make a plethora of origami items! These folded paper masterpieces include frogs, ninja stars, water balloons, flowers, and cranes.
Cyber Hacktivism Fireside
Philosophy professor Peter Ludlow talked about the increasingly relevant movement of expressing beliefs through technology, bringing in two members of the game, one of whom brought his flying video-recoding drone! [Video]
