The courtyard outside of Patterson Office Tower filled up Wednesday morning as students prepared for ping-pong balls to drop from the top of the building.

Mark Taylor, director of Market Research for Student Activities Board, stood on the James Patterson statue, announcing that ping-pong balls would be dropped from the top of the building in five minutes.

Taylor made his announcement to the beat of the NaeNae.

SAB then coordinated for hundreds of pong balls to be dropped, some of which had a sharpie marking on them.

Students who caught marked balls were able to collect a prize provided by SAB.

Students stood under the building catching the balls with backpacks, golf umbrellas and their hands.
