Admission is free and open to the public. The program is sponsored by Human Resource Development and the President s Office. No registration is required but seating is limited. The student competition, a friendly rivalry between Colleges, has been scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 6. The challenge is to build a spaghetti bridge in one hour.
Deans enter teams that are from recognized student organizations housed within their Colleges.
Prizes and cash awards are given to teams who build the strongest, ugliest, most beautiful, gaudiest and weakest bridges. Student participants are provided boxes of spaghetti, glue, and a glue gun to build their bridges. Each bridge must span a 24-inch open area as well as meet a number of other requirements. Finalists build a second bridge in a two-hour contest to determine the winners of the Challenge Cup. Last year, the cup was awarded to the College of Technology.
