But on Saturday night, one lucky person in the Kneller gymnasium just may wind up driving a new car. It&rsquo;s all part of the fun of &ldquo;Cougars Gone Wild &ndash; Midnight Mayhem 2012,&rdquo; a unique event to celebrate team spirit and show off Cougar pride; it will be held on Saturday, Feb. 11, at the Kneller Athletic Center. Doors open at 9 p.m. Midnight Mayhem is being organized by the Student Athletic Advisory Committee in association with the Clark Undergraduate Student Council. &ldquo;The purpose behind producing Midnight Mayhem is really quite simple: to bring all walks of life from across campus &mdash; all students, staff, and faculty &mdash; together under one roof, to spend time with one another, celebrate what it is to be a Cougar and most importantly, have a great time building a sense of united pride for all things Clark,&rdquo; said Sean Sullivan, director of Athletics and Recreation. &ldquo;The students came to us with this idea, we liked it and they ran with it,&rdquo; added Sports Information Director Kevin Anderson. &ldquo;They took total ownership of every aspect of the event and that&rsquo;s what we wanted. They all should be very proud of themselves.&rdquo;\r\n<blockquote>&#8216;Our goal is to bring the entire Clark community closer by creating an <strong>atmosphere of camaraderie and school spirit<\/strong>.&#8217;\r\n\r\n~&nbsp;Parker Edmonds &rsquo;12, SAAC president<\/blockquote>\r\nThe first 300 participants will each receive a free T-shirt. The night will feature music, dance, and &ldquo;minute-to-minute&rdquo; games and a Knock Out competition to win prizes, gift cards, and an iPad &mdash; $6,000 worth of giveaways in all. You must have your Clark ID to be eligible for contests and win prizes. One of the highlights of the evening will be a raffle that gives the winner a chance to shoot a half-court shot for a new car. Those who attend the women&rsquo;s and men&rsquo;s Senior Day basketball games on Saturday at 1 and 3 p.m. will have an opportunity to get up to two extra tickets. The event will kick off with free pizza from Oregano&rsquo;s for the first hour only, a chance to socialize, and will also include a friendly game of Faculty Musical Chairs. DJ A-Smooth will play music and release 500 free copies of his latest mix-tape, and Clark University&rsquo;s dance team, Hip Hop Collabo, will perform. The event is free for Clarkies, faculty and staff. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re attempting to start an annual tradition with Midnight Mayhem,&rdquo; said Parker Edmonds &rsquo;12, SAAC president. &ldquo;Our goal is to bring the entire Clark community closer by creating an atmosphere of camaraderie and school spirit.&rdquo; For more information contact the Cougars Gone Wild: Midnight Mayhem 2012 team on Facebook or send an email to <a href=\"mailto:pedmonds@clarku.edu\">Parker Edmonds<\/a>.<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clark&rsquo;s basketball teams excel at driving the lane.
