\n\u2022 Monday, April 25 — Peer Pong, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., in front of the Memorial Union, 50 Lower College Road. Peer Pong is a healthy and safe alternative to the more notorious drinking game. For the game, six plastic cups are placed at each end of a table. Each cup contains a question on a small piece of paper based on healthy sexuality and bystander intervention topics. Students will be given two ping-pong balls to toss into the cups. When they succeed, they will be asked a question from one of the volunteers of P.L.E.A.S.E. (Peers Learning, Educating and Supporting Everyone). If they answer the question correctly, they will win a prize.<\/p>\n
