PUMPKINMANIA – October 27th
At this year’s PumpkinMania event, the front of Old Morrison was covered with people, pumpkins, and tables with clubs and vendors. On top of the usual celebrations, the Eventing Team showed up with their horses, allowing them to be pet and fed by visitors!
The Rambler attended later in the day, handing out crosswords and coloring sheets to the kids and students who came by. Event Coordinator Lyra Duffy and Print Lead Brenna Clark carved their own pumpkin to decorate the steps.
SAB TRICK-OR-TREAT – October 29th
As the sun set on Transy’s Back Circle, clubs and organizations began setting up for students, staff, and locals to stop by, grab candy, and dress up. SAB held a costume contest in which two of our own at the Rambler won in select categories: Copy Editor Nate Brother winning “Best Individual Costume” dressed as past Transylvania Housing Staff member Keith Jones, and Casey Columnist Casey Casey winning “Most Creative Costume” dressed as Frieza from the Dragon Ball Z anime. Editor in Chief Katie Axon was also in costume, dressed as “Print’s Undead;” a newspaper boy infected by a zombie virus.
GHOULISH GRAVES RAMBLER EVENT – October 24th
To advertise our Rambler print release, Event Coordinator Lyra Duffy put together the Ghoulish Graves event for all students to attend. Lining the tables of the Pio Rooms with cobweb and jack o’ lantern table clothes, our team set out paint and mini wooden graves for everyone to decorate as their hearts desired. Comics designed by Becca Orjala for the print copy were also set out to be colored. Soon enough, the Pio Rooms were full of students and the graves went fast. Some participants left their graves to be placed as decorations on the Rambler’s Newspaper Box in the Campus Center.
RAMBLER FALL PRINT RELEASE – October 31st
To end off October and set the stage for Halloween that night, the Rambler team got all dressed up to hand out Fall print copies to students in the Campus Center. Giving away over 200 print copies in the span of a few hours, Print Lead Brenna Clark’s hard work was well received by the Transy Community. If you missed it, be sure and look in our Rambler Newspaper Box located in the Campus Center next to the Game Room, where prints can always be found.
