Students find Thursday night alternative
By Tauma Wiggins

Dave House, The Battalion
Misti See, a sophomore communications major, plays bingo
with Fish Camp session B, Camp Rydel.
Many Texas A&M students consid
er Thursday night the official start of
the weekend; some spend it in more
unconventional ways than others.
Trying their luck at a game of
Bingo is some students’ ideal Thurs
day evening.
David Ledbetter, bookkeeper for
Brazos County Bingo, said 15 to 30
students play Bingo at the hall, usu
ally on Thursdays, which are half-
price nights.
Chris Rial, a sophomore agricul
ture engineering major, has attended
Brazos County Bingo several times
this semester.
Though Rial was somewhat con
fused about the game at first, he
said now he enjoys playing at the
Bingo hall.
“When we went at first, they had
just started (the game), and we didn’t
know what the heck was going on,”
Rial said. “But we figured it out. It’s
more fun than people would think.”
A variety of forms of Bingo are
played at the hall.
Anne Marie Hauser, a junior
speech communications major, said
Black Out, in which players have to
fill up their entire Bingo cards, and
X, which requires players to fill in
numbers on their cards in the shape
of an X, are popular games.
Bingo is a strange experience that
becomes easier as people learn how
to play the games, Hauser said.
“It’s confusing at first,” she said,
“but when you get it down, it’s easy.”
Many Brazos Bingo regulars show
irritation when students join in, Led
better said, because more
mean lower odds of winning.
Rial said the regulars tendtolt
older adults who often seem
ered when students get excitedtr
talk loudly.
“When I first started playing, 1^,
didn’t realize there was Bingoeti
quette,” Rial said.
Hauser said she also has felt Hit
irritation of other players who are se
rious about their game-playing.
“They were very serious
she said. “They got mad if we
off. There were old people, familiesari ' ro * as
kids there, and they looked at us li
‘What are you doing here?’”
Rial gave an example of these
ousness of regular Bingo players,
“One time when I was playii
and we had been in game for
ituden
ithers
while, somebody yelled ‘Bingo,li
said. "It turns out he didn’tlian
Bingo, and all of the sudden evert
one started diving into the trail
cans to get their cards theyb
thrown away.”
Hauser said some young player )U J S ^® a f A&M.
experience beginner’s luck,
source of annoyance for the regular!.
Despite the disapproval sou
A&M students have felt from regt
lars, the possibility of winnin
keeps them playing.
Ledbetter said that last week
man won $1,500 dollars in prizes!
three games, and an A&M s
took home $237.
The Texas Lottery Commissio an01 T anJza loja
allocated $2.7 million to be
this week in Texas counties,
For Brazos County alone, the
mission allocated $15,803 in pria
fees to be awarded this month.
