The Student Development Centre&#8217;s theme was &#8220;under the sea&#8221;. The lower-level office housing Brock&#8217;s switchboard operators became the &#8220;Witchboard&#8221; today, with a skeleton that squirts water, a stuffed spider that drops from the doorway and motion-activated ghouls.<\/p>\n<p>The winner was Career Services, who decorated their Learning Commons space to resemble Willy Wonka&#8217;s Chocolate Factory.<\/p>\n<p>Food donations were collected for Community Care of St. Catharines and Thorold. Employees could also dress up for a $2 donation to the United Way.<\/p>\n<p>The next United Way event is a trivia night on Wednesday, Nov. 10. The cost is $20 per player with tables of eight people.
