Halloween was last week, and what is better than smashing pumpkins on the campus of Â鶹´«Ã½? The annual Pumpkin Drop, sponsored by the Â鶹´«Ã½ Society of Physics Students (SPS), has been a popular fall tradition for over two decades. This year the competition may have been the most intense ever. Each entrant - usually teams of students - was challenged to build a portable contraption that could "catch" a pumpkin dropped from atop the nine-story Batten Arts and Letters Building.
