This past Saturday, Beloit College opened C-Haus for Last Call Legends, an event capitalizing on the presence of alumni and Beloiter Days. Last Call events have been a new campus staple, starting in December of 2025 and continuing at the end of every semester.
Chyler Smith’28, one of the students involved in the direction and management of the event, said, “Last Call Legends is really fueling off of the Last Call brand. So we’re bringing back some student connection…we’re having the opening of the basement, which is really new to pretty much every student on campus, we’re creating a really nice party environment.”
Last Call events are also unique in that each is run as a capstone class for Marketing students: it involves students organizing hands-on branding, advertisement, and practicals to create a night for all of Beloit College’s campus. “Matt Laszlo, our professor for the Marketing Practicum and Capstone- he kind of decided on this with Tae [Charles] earlier in the summer,” Smith said. “Students are the ones that are primarily making some of the key decisions. So as far as the pool tournament…having the DJs…was student decisions.”
Last Call Legends had several draws for students and alumni alike: one of those being that the basement of C-Haus would be open, for the first time in several years. For most students, it was the first look they got at a campus space that had previously been closed, even during former C-Haus events. When asked about the process of designing and brainstorming the event, Smith said, “We got to interview a lot of alumni, we got to hear what it was like back in the day, so we can really set the environment for the basement, and bring some of that energy to the current students, because that was a really big part of their [alumni’s] college years.”
The space featured a basement bar, a small stage, tables and booths, and murals, including one of the red-eyed dragon frequently featured on Last Call Legends merch. The event featured free custom drinks and mocktails, a pool tournament, several student DJs, and a Taco Nenos truck at the Wall. The event also included several QR codes available for donations to C-Haus’ upkeep.
Betty Cavicchia’28, graphics editor for the Round Table, described his experience at the event: “The basketball thing at C-Haus, I was throwing basketballs with some other friends, and because I’m built like the Grinch…so one of the balls hit my pubic bone…I said, ‘I’m getting balled in the pussy.’ So yeah.”
When asked if there was a possibility of a Last Call Legends event coming back for next year, Smith said, “Most likely, we would like to bring this back. I’m not sure about the next semester, but it might be next fall, when the capstone is again. So- hopefully.”
