Cheesecake excess!

On Friday the 13th of October, the HEP and Nuclear groups held a cheesecake extravaganza in our continuing effort to make new students feel hyperglycemic and generally happy to be on the 4th floor of Loomis. There was, however, a price to be paid: visitors were expected to complete (or skip over) the following quiz before they would find out where to come for cheesecakes:

We wrote up brief descriptions of the work done by the High Energy Physics and Nuclear Physics groups, but most people were too busy with dessert to notice the handouts.

We made 24 cheesecakes, based on a recipe in "The Campus Survival Cookbook," J. Wood and J.S. Gilchrist, Morrow Publishers, New York (1973). Click here for the cheesecake recipe. By the end of the afternoon, 20 of the cheesecakes had been eaten.
