The eyes have it.
First place in the School of Medicine’s pumpkin carving contest, that is.
Students from the Green 8 team unveiled this year’s winning entry, a pair of somewhat bloodshot-looking eyeballs crying for support with their name: “Eye Need Your Votes.” School of Medicine staff who cast ballots on the student entries apparently took pity on the pair of eerie orbs over the other seven entries.
At the same time, students cast their winning votes in the staff contest for “School Spirit,” crafted by members of the School’s Office of Student Affairs.
The pumpkin carving contest has become an annual event at the School of Medicine, sponsored by MSAC and the Color Officers. First prize in the student category is a pizza party for the entire color team. Staff winners receive the Gold Stapler and a pumpkin pie.
