A new idea succeeds and is repeated the following year.
Minor changes streamline the process and new people are involved, but the core idea remains.
A tradition is born. A Friendly Competition Joseph Rallo, dean of the College of Business, issued a challenge to his fellow deans to compete in FSU's first Spaghetti Bridge Building Contest in February of 1998. The event proved so popular that the contest was held again this year. The deans enter teams comprised of members from recognized student organizations housed in that dean's College. Student participants are provided boxes of spaghetti, glue and hot glue guns with which to build the strongest possible bridge in one hour.
