Abraham Rivera, right, of Oak Park, lines up a shot while Chad Lerman, a senior from Skokie studying electrical engineering, watches Monday during a game of billiards in the Student Center. Rivera, an SIU alumnus in architecture, visited Carbondale during the weekend to hang out with Lerman. “We both love billiards so we thought we’d play while I’m down here,” Rivera said. “Usually I’m playing at the ones at the bars in town,” Lerman said.
