 A large crowd of students gathered outside the marquee for DCU's snow sports annual ball drop. What happens at this event is that a container of colorful balls are hung from the roof and then released. The balls have numbers written on them which correspond with prizes, the main one being a golden pass to snow sports ski trip to Andorra. The event, which was a huge success, was held in the hub last year. However, due to reconstruction, the society had to move its main event to the marquee. As the countdown begun, the students crowded eagerly beneath the container. However, there was somewhat of a false start. Eventually, after a number of attempts, the balls were in full flow. As the winners took to the stage to collect their prizes, a number of distraught students turned violent towards committing members of each other. This is Paul Dwyer, DCUTV News.
