Fall Picnic — Reaney Park
Each spring and fall semester the department puts on a barbecue or a picnic for the students. We gather for eating, visiting, honoring our graduating seniors, and sometimes play a game or two and give away prizes.

- In each bracket, choice of color for the first game will be awarded by a coin toss or mutual agreement. Subsequent games in that bracket will alternate colors.
- In each bracket, the players will be responsible for arranging game times. Games can be played in the department library, but can also be arranged for other sites.
- Failure to show for a scheduled game or unwillingness to schedule games in a timely fashion can result in forfeit. Dr. Shier is the arbitrator.
- "Touch move" is in effect, but only in the sense that once your hand is removed from a moved piece, the move stands.
