\frametitle{Millikan pumpkin-drop experiment}
Every Halloween, Dabney House conducts the infamous ``Millikan pumpkin-drop experiment'' from the top of Millikan Library, the highest point on campus.

\begin{itemize}
    \item<1-> A claim was once made that the shattering of a pumpkin frozen in liquid nitrogen and dropped from a sufficient height would produce a triboluminescent spark. 
    \item<2-> This yearly event involves a crowd of observers, who try to spot the elusive spark.
    \item<3-> The title of the event is an oblique reference to the famous Millikan oil-drop experiment which measured $e$, the elemental unit of electrical charge.
\end{itemize}
