The Resident Life Association’s “Pie Your Favorite Resident Director” left resident directors wiping whipped cream off their faces Monday.

The gelatin-eating contest of the RLA event took place in the Red Room in Kent Hall while the pie throwing happened on the sidewalk in front of Kent Hall 4:30 p.m. Monday.

The ten contestants who competed in the gelatin-eating contest, had to consume two plates without using their hands. Competitors tried biting or sucking the gelatin to find the most efficient technique.

First place went to James Overshiner, 22, senior of Alliance; second to Blake Peterson, 18, freshman of Rushville; third  to Natalie McCune, 20, junior of Alliance; fourth to James Carwin, 21, junior of Peetz, Colo.; and fifth to Trace Floyd, 7, son of Debra Floyd.

The top five contestants were given the opportunity to pie any one of the RDs. Resident Directors who participated in the event were Debra Floyd, assistant director of Andrews Hall; Shelby Huish, assistant director of High Rise; Mary Landen, assistant director of Edna Hall; Joseph Persac, assistant director of Kent Hall; and Bryant Pritchett, coordinator of Brooks Hall.

Each received a pie to the face.
