On Friday May 10th, Students from all across campus met up in front of the Staller Center for a flash rave, DJ’ed by Lior Gavra, a Stony Brook University student who performs under the name DJ Lio.

Not long into the event, as the crowd started to increase, the University police broke up the festivities saying that they couldn’t perform in front of the Staller Center. Thinking quickly the crowd began to file into the Melville Library next door and started the rave again right in front of the central reading room.

Armed with beach balls, strobe lights and glow sticks, these students conquered the majority of the library’s first floor and the entire second floor balcony. They even managed to inspire many students who were studying and preparing for their upcoming finals. Intoxicated by the music students began to crowd surf, dance, and scream in fulfillment of their accomplishment.

Those responsible for the flash rave may be in some academic troubles for what they did… but that can’t compare to bringing smiles to the faces of many students during a week in which many do nothing but study and work.
