Fwd: Fun things to do during Orientation Week at college
by Alice S. Tsay, MIT student
1. Creep out one night, and decorate the resident Dignified Statue (and there will be one) with leis and a sombrero.
2. Find a biohazard sign. Put it up in the cafeteria.
3. Get bumper stickers from your college's rival school. Decorate the Dean's door thus and spread rumors about the Dean "going over to the enemy".
4. If the carillion takes requests, ask them to play "The song that never ends". See how many times they go through it before the campus revolts.
5. Rig the salt and pepper shakers. (Instructions, as taught at CTY: Take a pepper shaker, and shake a pinch of pepper into a paper towel. Put the piece of paper towel w/ the pepper lump on it under the cap of what is ostensibly a salt shaker. Screw the cap in. Rip off the rest of the paper towel and repeat with the salt shaker. Result: not everything is exactly what it seems.)
6. Haughtily tell people that this was your safety school. Wear a MENSA pin.
7. When in the Physics Department, write on a public blackboard, "Could ET have phoned home?" See if you get an answer.
8. Use a slingshot to send assorted objects all over your dorm/campus. Tell everyone you're an aeronautics major.
9. Fill beakers with water and cover them. Label one "Water" and one "H2SO4". Put them at the door of a Chemistry professor. Write a note to the professor: "I forgot which was which and fudged up your results. Sorry."
10. Tell everyone there's going to be a beer-tasting party. Send out fliers. Tell them it's going to be in the Dean's office.
