On Sat. Oct. 26, Centre\u2019s ghouls and ghosts headed over to the Campus Center for a spooky, Halloween-themed CC After Dark program.<\/p>\n

Upon entering the Campus Center, students were greeted by creepy Halloween decorations. Members of the SGA Programming Committee sat at tables outside of Cowan Dining Hall at the \u201cPaint a Pumpkin\u201d station. Many students painted pumpkins with unique designs, including the faces of Harry Potter characters and the \u201cpi\u201d symbol.<\/p>\n

Students competing in the Dean\u2019s Cup had an opportunity to swipe in and earn points for their house.<\/p>\n

On Sat. Oct. 26, Centre students donned costumes for the October CC After Dark program.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Most of the night\u2019s events took place inside Cowan. Festive foods were served out of cauldrons by a Cowan worker dressed up as a ghoulish figure. Snacks for the evening included \u201cGhoul Guts Guacamole\u201d and \u201cSpooky Spider Salsa\u201d which was served with red and black tortilla chips.<\/p>\n

Inside, there were two DJs, dressed as a priest and a nun, who provided the music for \u201cScare-aoke.\u201d Popular selections for singers included tunes from Grease, as well as hit songs by Billy Joel and ABBA.<\/p>\n

Later in the evening, the Student Activities Council hosted their annual costume contest. Over 20 creative students entered the contest this year. Winning entries included the Headless Horseman, the Log Lady from Twin Peaks, and an Anna Karenina dress crafted from curtains.<\/p>\n

First-year Laurin Hisle won the most \u201cMost Creative\u201d award for her costume of a female version of Enjolras from the musical Les Miserables.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy roommate and I love Les Miserables, so we decided to dress up like our favorite characters Enjolras and Marius,\u201d Hisle said. \u201cWe used our own clothes and wore cardigans instead of jackets to create the \u2018girl version\u2019 of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

A group of first-year girls won \u201cBest Group\u201d for their \u201cCentre College Twerk Team\u201d costumes, which were comprised of black athletic shorts and yellow Centre jerseys.<\/p>\n

\u201cA couple of the girls on my hall and I decided to dress up in a group costume,\u201d first-year Mackenzie Cohen said. \u201cWe all bought jerseys from the bookstore and decided to create a \u2018twerk team\u2019 with the jerseys.\u201d<\/p>\n

To round out the activities in Cowan, several students sang \u201cTime Warp\u201d from The Rocky Horror Picture Show as a reminder that the film was playing upstairs in the Ewen Room later that night. A showing of the cult classic is usually put on each year by Centre Players, but this year, SAC decided to add the film to their CC After Dark line-up.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was very short notice,\u201d sophomore SAC Committee Chair Sebastian Brown said, \u201cbut we decided to put it on. It was a campus tradition already and we thought it would be a shame if it wasn\u2019t shown at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Attendees were given bags of \u201cprops,\u201d like toilet paper and rice, to throw at the screen as part of the Rocky Horror tradition. Students also dressed up as characters from the film, including Brad Majors and Magenta.<\/p>\n

In January, the CC After Dark program will be \u201cCasino Night.\u201d The event will feature games such as blackjack, craps, and roulette, and may include a showing of the film 21.<\/p>\n

\u201cCasino Night\u201d will be co-hosted by Assistant Professor of Mathematics Lesley Wiglesworth\u2019s \u201cUnderstanding the Games We Play\u201d Centreterm class, which is exclusively offered to first-year students.<\/p>\n

The course focuses on understanding the mathematics behind casino games and horse racing.<\/p>\n

The November CC After Dark program will feature a revival of the Centre College Battle of the Bands, hosted by Centre Encore and SAC.<\/p>\n

Four bands comprised of students will perform twenty-minute sets of music. Four faculty members will judge the competition, with the top prize being a $100-value gift card.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe program on Nov. 15 is the last one for the semester,\u201d Student Life Coordinator Elizabeth Frank said. \u201cSo if students haven\u2019t been yet, they should come!\u201d The Centre College Battle of the Bands will take place in Cowan on Nov. 15 starting at 9 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
