For the last ten years, UW-Manitowoc's Student Senate has been pulling off this cool series of events or programs that they call Campus Life Nights (or maybe it's Campus Night Life's). Usually they start at 9:00 on Wednesday nights because by that time most students are done with class and work for the day, and it sort of marks making it over the hump of the week. It's a time to kick back with some sort of friendly gathering or maybe a cut-throat competition like Battle of the Sexes or a dessert-making contest. (That one can get especially messy.) There's almost always something to eat or drink, and there is often a cheesy prize or two involved.
This week they're sponsoring one of dubious pleasure for some of us and of great adventure and excitement for others--Capture the Flag in the Park in the Dark. To date they've only had one sprained ankle and one lost person, and the ankle healed and the lost one was found. The losing team has to serve pizza and soda to the winners. Serious competitors come in ninja or night gear, but the only real advice on what to wear is something you don't mind getting dirty and serious footwear--NO Flip-flops! Save them for "jammies and a chick-flick" night.
