Theta got a foosball table. On Thursday, February 19, Sonya Edwards’28, Rachel Lubar’28, and I went off on an adventure in Edwards’ minivan to the residence of Writing Center Director and English Professor Charles Lewis.
Carrying the table up from Lewis’ basement was a workout in itself, I assume – I didn’t actually help carry anything. But, when the table was finally established on the century-old wood floor of our little blue house, Theta Pi Gamma finally felt like home.
The table is different from those at the Powerhouse, C-Haus, and from that of Tau Kappa Epsilon. Unfortunately I cannot compare it to the table at Sigma Chi, as I have not tested it, and currently have no interest in doing so, respectfully.
There is little tension in the handles, and there’s “no angles” for trick shots, according to Cian McKeown’27. He’s still getting used to the table, which is lighter than other commercial tables. I saw McKeown slam the ball into the goal, and the table levitated five feet in the air. For real.
Foosball is back. Beware of the little guys on poles.
