Student Alumni Association Starts a Campus Tradition with T-WOLF Challenge!

The CSU-Pueblo Student Alumni Association held its first-ever campus activity on October 22 in conjunction with Homecoming 2004. Modeled after the popular television program, the group called its inaugural event T-WOLF Challenge CSU-Pueblo style, with 15 student teams of two competing for a pair of mountain bikes.

Facing fears and testing skills, the teams started with Stunt #1, traversing the high wire on the campus ropes course. Stunt #2 attested to the ability of strong minds and intestinal fortitude as the teams transferred twelve hefty mealworms fifteen feet by mouth! Stunt #3 held the teams ankle-cuffed and blindfolded in a box of cooked spaghetti and limburger cheese as they searched the smelly pasta for the cuff key to set themselves free. All events were timed with the fastest teams advancing toward the prize. 2nd and 3rd place team members each took gift certificates to the campus bookstore for $40 and $20 respectively.

Despite the SAA’s newly chartered status and the numerous details involved, the event was deemed a success and the group hopes to make the challenge an annual Homecoming tradition at CSU-Pueblo. Stay tuned for more information on the SAA, and if you’d like to get involved with this organization, call 549-2649 or email saa@colostate-pueblo.edu.
