Mississippi State junior political science major Elisha Blades of Sylacauga, Ala., draws the names of lucky winners of parking spaces in new gated lots near Allen Hall and McCarthy Gym. There were 317 faculty and staff applicants for 287 spaces, and the winners were picked at random in a lottery drawing earlier this week. Some members of the crowd responded with whoops and cheers when their names were called.
