Across Campus - A Photo Essay
On the ODU campus, there's no better Halloween tradition than smashing pumpkins. The Annual Pumpkin Drop, sponsored by the Old Dominion University Society of Physics Students, has remained a popular autumn event for two decades. The goal of the project is to build a device that can safely catch a pumpkin dropped from the nine-story roof of the Batten Arts and Letters building. Photos by Chuck Thomas and David B.
