When & WhereMudstompWhen: Thursday at 6 p.m. Where: Oozeball Lot; near the corner of Greek Row Drive and Summit Avenue Oozeball When: Friday at noon Where: Oozeball Lot After a week of on-and-off, mostly on, bad weather in the Arlington area, one of the university’s tradition favorite among students is definitely a go. “At this point we’re going full speed ahead,” said Jasmine Stewart, assistant director for Alumni and Student Programs. While many people believed that playing in the rain was the major setback, it the dirt brought onto the makeshift volleyball courts caused the postponement. “It’s the playing mud that was the problem. It’s supposed to be finely ground dirt that’s brought in, but because of the rain it would have become mud too soon,” Stewart said. Last week the rain turned the waiting dirt into clay, which couldn’t be processed through the sifting machine. The machine, which removes rocks and other debris, makes the dirt — eventually turned into mud — easier to play in. The Student Alumni Association and the Campus Recreation Department will hold the annual Mudstomp at 6 tonight to prepare the ground for the six Oozeball tournament courts. Anyone can help with Mudstomp and volunteers will get free pizza. Volunteers can just show up at the time the event begins. Views: 410 | E-mail
