About
The Student Union satellite facility in Hales Annex houses the
College Lanes, the Pool Room, and the Cat in the Cream Coffeehouse.
Most of the wholesome fun that happens at Hales is open to the general
public.
College Lanes has six
tenpin bowling lanes. Organized campus programs include: Athletics
activity courses, the Intra-College Keglers intramural league, and
the Intercollegiate Bowling Team. The center is decked out with black
lights and a sound system making Glow Bowling an excellent party choice
for dorms and student organizations. Call to book a bash or to find
out when to show up and bowl. It is usually free for Oberlin College
students on Tuesday afternoons and half-price on Thursdays. The lanes
also host traditional leagues, youth instruction programs, birthday
parties, and church groups.
The Pool Room houses four nine-foot pocket billiards tables in a variety
of colors. The room is generally staffed on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
nights. (On Thursday nights there is usually no charge for Oberlin
College students.) At other times, it might be possible to check-out
a rack of balls from the bowling lanes. Call the College Lanes to arrange
for a group rental rate of the pool hall.
The Cat in the Cream Coffeehouse is run by the student organization
of the same name. It presents or hosts a great many FREE programs including
the traditional coffeehouse fare of folk music, jazz and poetry, as
well as improv and sketch comedy, student theater, dance, storytelling,
religious services, and a traditional end-of-semester performance by
Oberlin Steel. Requests for use of the Cat are handled directly by
Cat staff or through Wilder 111.
