Other students celebrated Fat
Tuesday through parties held around
j! campus. Preston Residential Collegeg
put on its own Mardi Gras festivities
yesterday. Crys Armbrust, assistant
y principal of Preston, organized the
t event.
j "My parents have thrown [Mardi
" Gras] parties since I was knee high,
j and I'm carrying on the tradition,"
1 Armbrust said. "The party also fits
.j the mission of the residential college;
it fosters community through a social
y function."
y Armbrust said many of the events
s will be similar to Mardi Gras
s celebrations in New Orleans, which
he attended while in high school.
7 Those participating in the
e celebration in Preston took part in a
t variety of activities: a bead toss, a
g costume contest and a dance. The
e event also included the traditional
h search for the baby doll, hidden in a
King Cake. Mardi Gras legend says
e whoever finds the baby will have a
e year of good luck.
