MSOE students again celebrate the patron saint of engineers, St. Patrick, with a whole week of wacky fun. Forget the green beer ...
The second annual Leprechaun Launch
Yep, five Greek teams build a big catapult and launch a leprechaun - whoever's leprechaun makes it in one piece, closest to the target, gets the glory. It was an instant tradition last year; let's see if the teams have improved their techniques. UWM teams might join us on Friday.
4 p.m. Friday, March 10 at House of Harley (6221 W. Layton Ave.)
2 p.m. Saturday, March 11 downtown at Pere Marquette Park
Annual Egg Drop - Heads-Up!
We have no idea how this tradition started or what it proves exactly, but it sure is fun. Participants are given a bag of household objects (marshmallows, toothpicks, egg carton and who-knows- what else) to fashion the best parachute for their egg, which will be tossed out a third-story walkway window.
12:30 p.m. Monday, March 13 at Werwath Mall (Kilbourn and Jefferson)
Beard Judging
We'll be judging who has the best beard -- real or fake. Beards are back in!
1 p.m. Monday, March 13 at Werwath Mall (Kilbourn and Jefferson)
Engineering O'lympics
Student teams come up with the best and fastest solution to some simple engineering tasks
6 p.m. Tuesday, March 14 at Cudahy Student Center (1025 N Broadway, floor 3)
Pot O'Gold Scavenger Hunt
Students scour downtown for clues to win a pot of gold worth at least $500 of the faculty and staff's money in this great tradition.
11 a.m. Saturday, March 18 begins at Cudahy Student Center (1025 N Broadway, floor 3)
