CSU goes green with bikes and splatter
Bike riders peddle their way to the Color Party
Thursday, Aug. 22, Cougar Kick- Off week continued with the fourth annual Bike Ride with Mescon. At 5:30 p.m. the participants left from the Lumpkin Center and peddled their way downtown to Woodruff Park. Ride on Bikes and The Bike Shop provided a limited amount of bicycles and safety wear for participants in need. After a quick safety lesson, the bikers began their journey using the Rails to Trails to safely travel from Main campus to River Park. “We want everyone to think green and think how close we are from campus. Any event where we can incorporate both campuses is important,” said President Tim Mescon. After the riders finished the bike ride, they had the opportunity to participate in the Color Party. The Students Activity Council hosted the Color Party at which participants came dressed in white shirts and were bombarded with an array of colorful splatter. The students, staff and faculty acted like wild animals and hunted down white shirted individuals to transform them into bright rainbows. “I have never felt so colored in my life. I thought I had a colorful personality, but this tops it all,” said Deandra Fields. SAC provided water guns, snacks and music to aid the participants in their mission. As the event continued, the excessive splattering of students appeared less like rainbows after a rain shower and more like murky, dried moss on a log. Regardless of the change in appearance, the students did not hold a torch to Woodruff Park with its new color scheme.
