Members of Alpha Phi compete in “Tugs” Monday afternoon at the Campus Pond. They won the round against Alpha Gamma Delta.
Tugs Takeover: By Jordan Boyer Photo Editor | @DEN_News Sororities came out and gave it their all in the first Tugs competition of the week at Campus Pond Monday afternoon. There were three matches: Alpha Phi versus Alpha Gamma Delta, with Alpha Phi winning; Delta Delta Delta versus Delta Zeta
Alpha Phi, Delta Zeta, Kappa Delta win first round of Tugs Monday
with Delta Zeta winning and Tri Delta versus Kappa Delta with Kappa Delta winning. Coaches for Kappa Delta Michael Roggenkamp, a senior sociology major and Michael O’Connor, a kinesiology and sports studies major, said they trained for two months “every single day” to prepare for Tugs. After the win, they said it felt so worth it after all of their hard work.
Hannah Gillaspie, a history major and a member of Alpha Gamma Delta, said it was “pretty rough,” to lose, adding that Tugs has never really been the sororities highest point. “So we’re pretty hyped about winning Airband, so I think it will be OK, it was rough though,” she said. Audrey Villalpando, a junior marketing major, and a member of Tri-Delta who com-
peted in Tugs, said she feels bad losing because they worked so hard to compete in this event. However, she said it was still a good battle in the end. The winners of this event compete again Wednesday, and the fraternities compete Saturday.

Edible Book Festival showcases creative displays By Analicia Haynes Managing Editor | @Haynes1943 The Marvin Foyer inside Booth Library smelled like a bakery Monday afternoon as faculty, students and community members judged entries for the eighth annual Edible Book Festival. The festival kicked off National Library Week and featured “edible” displays that depicted several books including the “Harry Potter” series, “A Wrinkle in Time” and “The Giving Tree.” Debbie Meadows, a registration coordinator in Blair Hall, was with her three grandchildren who entered two displays. Meadows said her grandchildren have participated in the festival every year, and this was the fourth year for them. Abelynn Dick and her sister Alice are both from Charleston and worked together with their grandma (Meadows) on their entry, which was inspired by the novel “A Wrinkle in Time” by Madeleine L’Engle. “My dad likes to read it to me at night, so I chose this book, and I thought it would be
a good idea to do a wrinkled clock,” Abelynn said regarding the reason why she picked “A Wrinkle in Time” to base her creation off of. “It’s a really good book.” Their design was made out of Rice Krispie treats, fondant and different colored Twizzlers that were used to represent the hands and numbers on a clock. They said they were very proud of their work, and Abelynn said her favorite part about participating in the festival every year is making her displays. “I like to cook things so I want to cook when I’m older,” Abelynn said. When it comes to books though, Abelynn and Alice said their favorite part about reading is figuring out what happens at the end. Haley Ingram, a special education and early childhood education major, decided to participate in the festival since Ingram already works in the library. Ingram said the festival is a good way to bring not just the Eastern community together, but the Charleston community as well. Festival, page 5
