Hookah and Hummus

[The students and staff here at U of R have been really nice about allowing me to feel like a normal part of the campus] Last week I saw a flyer on a posting board in one of the "campus tunnels" that caught my attention... and curiosity. It was an invitation for Saturday night to join in the activities of a fraternity sponsored event called "Hookah and Hummus." The location was right nearby my office, I wasn't doing anything else pressing, so I decided to check it out. Now the location is significant because it's the exact center of the campus , the George Eastman Quad ( see Web Cam here ), where six commemorative red marble benches and a 5' stainless steel compass sit in the middle of a large lawn area. The frat brothers, along with some campus coeds, had a huge "and expensive," three hose hookah setup in the center of the compass on the sacred inscription. About 20 people were standing around the compass when I pulled up on my bike around 9:3
