Ellsworth Hall to host Suitcase Dance tonight
For the first time since its renovation Ellsworth Hall will hold its Suitcase Dance.
"We have a new look, but we want to have the same feel," said Mark Eisen-barth, Topeka sophomore and chairman of the Ellsworth Hall Community Standards Board. "And we decided to bring it back because it's what Ellsworth was known for before it closed."
Any student with a packed suitcase can come at 9 tonight to the main lobby of Elsworth for the opportunity to win a weekend getaway to the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Mo.
Two grand-prize winners will be taken at midnight in a limo from the hall to the Sheridan Suites Hotel. They will also receive $350 in Plaza gift certificates to spend during their weekend.
The Ellsworth Hall Community Standards Board and the Association of University Residence Halls are sponsoring the free event.
Other prizes that will be raffled off tonight include an iPod, a video camera, a 27" television, and a CD/MP3 player.
