 On Thursday, October 3, 2002, our Campus Center's lounge, thronged with students and their accompanying friends, rivaled a Saturday night in any of Atlantic City's numerous casinos, albeit a somewhat ghetto but undeniably enjoyable and pocket-friendly version. From 9pm until 11:30pm, when the pseudo-gambling was dispensed with so that students could redeem their hard won (or bribed) chips for prize tickets, the lounge underwent a successful carnivalesque conversion, replete with several classic casino games, most notably blackjack and roulette, among others. To facilitate the urban Casino's ambiance a dee-jay spun records more likely to flow from Palmer's or Eighth Street Lounge than the Taj Mahal or Trump Plaza. The prizes, in accordance with state law, were not monetary but were the result of a nice little trip to Best Buy.
  An itemized list of the prizes now follows for those who unfortunately were not in attendance of last Thursday's festivities or had to tear themselves away early in order to attend to more scholarly pursuits a 19-inch TV, 2 DVD players, a PlayStation 2, a DVD box set of Sex & the City's third season, a camera, a cordless phone, a portable CD player, and various tickets to musical events. The grand prize, won by senior Jake Warren, was a pair of plane tickets to Canada.. 
 Second only to Fall Day in attendance, Casino Night is definitely the most popular post-4pm event despite Rutgers-Camden's notorious mass evacuation of commuter students late each afternoon. A bi-yearly event Casino Night is sponsored by CAB, co-sponsored by SGA, and chaired by Amanda Holloway who is also responsible for its two equally successful predecessors. Acting as MC's during the prize distribution were SGA president Chris Wolk and SGA senator Aminah Massenburg. 
 Whether the students and their guests left the Campus Center and filtered back to the dorms to enjoy certain birthday festivities or returned to their cars in search of unknown destinations (presumably home since it was only Thursday night), everyone is sure to have gone feeling energized from the exhilarating air flowing through the lounge and definitely looking forward to the next Casino Night.
