Today from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Engineering Building lobby, the Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers will host a Sparty costume/armor building contest.
Teams will consist of two to five people, and they will be given three hours to create a costume or suit of armor with provided recycled materials.
The top three teams will receive prizes or gift certificates from the Peanut Barrel, Espresso Royale or the Student Book Store.
The costume building contest is a part of SASE’s Spirit Week, done nationally by SASE chapters on campuses around the country.
“Basically it’s to get people excited about SASE and to promote the group on different campuses around the nation,” biochemistry and molecular biology junior Diana Xu said.
Xu is currently the president of the MSU chapter of SASE. She said they thought it would be cool to show school spirit by building costumes of Sparty since the event will fall right after Halloween.
Xu said they decided to use recycled materials as a way of being environmentally friendly.
“We thought it would be a good way to 'go green' in every sense of the word,” Xu said.
