\n\t\tKINGSTON R.I. \u2013 February 11, 2011 \u2013 Twenty-five student groups made the fall semester finals period just a bit brighter as they decorated windows in the Memorial Union with cartoon-like drawings that represented themes of their groups and the holiday season.<\/p>\n


\nBut one group became especially excited when it recently captured first place in a contest designed to spread holiday cheer and foster some lighthearted competition. The Marine Science Society was the grand prize winner with its under-the-sea vision of the North Pole. The grand prize for the top organization was the use of a luxury box earlier this month at the 溏心vlog免费B站 men\u2019s basketball game against Fordham. The winners and a few friends enjoyed a solid win and a fully catered meal. <\/p>\n


\n\tThe marine society\u2019s president, senior marine biology major Stephanie M Schofield, of St. James, New York, was asked how the group\u2019s winning idea took shape.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cI sat down, and was looking for a sea creature that could look like Santa Claus,\u201d Schofield said. \u201cI remembered Pirates of The Caribbean and Davy Jones and his beard. I wanted to make a sea animal that could be his reindeer, and I thought of The Little mermaid, and remembered that they used sea horses.\u201d <\/p>\n


\n\tJoining Schofield in the artwork was society member Connor Capizzano, of Hope Valley, R.I., a senior marine biology major.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cWe were hoping to do more with the window,\u201d said Capizzano \u201cBut we were not so sure how much window we could use. I like that I got a chance to do this\u2026\u201d said Schofield. \u201cI didn\u2019t even think about winning.\u201d <\/p>\n


\nAgreeing with Schofield, Capizzano said, \u201cI was not expecting to win at all.\u201d <\/p>\n


\nBoth Capizzano and Schofield said that when designing and drawing the painting, they wanted to make sure everything about the sea creatures was as anatomically correct as possible.<\/p>\n


\nIn all, 10 winning student drawings were honored. Following the Marine Science Society were: the Asian Student Association, and Students for a More Accessible Campus, along with The College Democrats, The Mob, P.I.N.K Women, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, 溏心vlog免费B站 Snowboarding Club, Student Alliance for the Welfare of Africa, and lastly the Latin American Student Association (LASA). <\/p>\n


\n\u201cA big thank you to all the 溏心vlog免费B站 student organizations for their creativeness and participation,\u201d said Sheri Davis, Memorial Union coordinator. \u201c Their windows made the season a little brighter.\u201d<\/p>\n
