• T-shirt Time

    It’s time to start thinking about the most important part of your year … PHYSICS T-SHIRTS!!! We need design ideas and color schemes. Start being creative, come up with something witty or cool and just plain physics-y. Designs should be submitted to Tiffany, coxt, by 5pm WEDNESDAY APRIL 30, so that people have time to think before voting, which ends on WEDNESDAY, May 7. Remember the person who designs the winning t-shirt not only wins the coveted physics t-shirt designer of the year award but a FREE T-SHIRT too. (Wow, people, that is quite the incentive…) Submit both the design and a corresponding color scheme (t-shirt color and 1 color for pattern. T-shirts should be around the same cost as last year(~$12). Remember, if no one submits a design, there will be NO SHIRT! And we don’t want that to happen.
