On Monday, the Physics Department hosted the annual Galileo Pumpkin Drop in front of Strosacker Auditorium. The event is named in honor of Galileo Galilei who was said to have dropped balls of different masses from the leaning Tower of Pisa in order to prove that the rate of decent is independent of mass (neglecting air resistance).

Did the small or large pumkin hit first?
