The Wright Place will offer more than pizza and burgers after 8 p.m. tonight.\nThe third annual Dusk 'til Dawn, sponsored by the Residence Halls Association, will kick off at 9 p.m. and last until 4 a.m.\nFeaturing a DJ, dancing, concerts, a costume contest, comedy and food, the event is expected to draw more than 1,000 people.\nEvent organizers have spent hours of time and more than $7,000 on the seven-hour event, and about 25 volunteers will make sure the event goes off without a hitch. The event will be paid for by both RHA and Residential Programs and Services.\n"It's becoming a residence hall tradition, having all the residents get together and have a big party," said dance coordinator and senior Scott Zuick. Zuick also worked on the event the two previous years.\nThe event has been promoted as a residence halls event, but anyone is welcome to attend, organizers said.\nAlong with the chance to show off costume and dance moves, residents can enjoy music from Alma Azul and Ladies First, win prizes for the best costume and see Full Frontal perform comedy skits.\n"This is a chance for residents to unwind from a long week, dress up and dance 'til late in the evening," said Jason Dudich, president of RHA.\nDudich said one of the duties of RHA is to establish programs for students in the residence halls.\n"This is one that worked out well and everyone liked," Dudich said.\nHe said it is also a chance for residents to see their money working for them -- how it affects them directly.\nFor sophomore Michelle White, it was a chance to meet new people and get dressed-up for the occasion.\n"It showed the dorms are really interested in showing people who live there a good time," White said. "They make it their priority to cater to the students needs."\nWhite said she would suggest the event to any student.\n"If you make a fool of yourself, no one is going to know who you are anyway," she said.\nDudich said he hopes all the residents show up Friday for the event and participate with their fellow students in celebrating Halloween, to "see how goofy or scary they can look," Dudich said.\n"This is a place we're giving back to students, so they can have fun and enjoy."\n
