We used to lock people in their rooms by wedging a bunch of pennies in their door jam. You wouldn't think that it's possible to lock someone in their room with a hand full of pennies, but you can wedge the latch so tight that no one can turn it.

More than a few missed classes because of it.

The floor in Frieley Hall I moved to had just gotten in big trouble the year before when they tried to succeed from the UDA over the $10 per person housing dues. They sent the letter and saying they would not pay. Then the UDA shot back they had to pay. Then they said not only were they not paying but they were going to shut off access to other floors from using their hall ways (was next to one of the main stairwells). That got everyone's underwear in an uproar...even though it was a joke the ISU legal team got involved...I guess because of fire escape issues. It got a lot bigger than it ever should have...but was funny. The HA held a grudge and he and I locked horns over some other stuff the year I moved in. He brought up the whole succession thing a couple times "You guys all think you're so cute...we'll your not...and we don't think this stuff is funny downstairs". Lighten up Francis.

Aparently, if you fill a manila envelope with foam shaving cream, slide the edge under someones door, and empty the evenlope by dropping a small stack of text books on it, it achieves pretty good coverage in a small MWL room. So I hear...:jimlad:

Hadn't heard of that one. That's pretty good. We had a guy we really hated and the day before we left for break we got into his room and placed bleu cheese on his radiator and coated his room with baby powder. The cheese stink was bad enough but horrible when combined with the baby powder.

There was a very skanky girl on our floor who brought some ghetto wannabe (white guy with a Kobe jersey and dreads) back to our dorm. Thinking she wouldn't get caught, she took the guy into the guy's shower for a romp. We had got back from a party, and our RA was out of town for the weekend, so assuming the RA on duty was in bed, we started drinking beer between the elevators (lived in Larch). My buddy Joe had to take a leak, so he went into the bathroom. He heard some noise from the shower and noticed 2 pairs of feet in that shower, rather than 1. Now, the showers of course had two curtains. One separated the outside of the shower from the bathroom, and the other separated clothing hooks from the rest of the shower. Joe reached in and removed their clothing from the hooks, and threw it in the trash in our dorm den.

Watching the Dread Locked Kid running up and down our hallway wrapped in a shower curtain begging people for clothes was easily one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.

I bet we saw 90% of our floor naked my freshman year because we would always take their clothes/towel. It was hilarious watching those guys going all over the place looking for who took their clothes... in nothing but what the good lord gave them...:biglaugh:

My freshman year there was a slip and slide on 5th floor Willow. The CA on that floor was gone for the weekend and we had the rounds of the CA on duty down to within 5 minutes so we knew the time frame we had. That was a lot of fun.

Some guy, lets call him bob, found the janitors keys for MWL in the street, and may or may not have had a kegger on the roof of Larch around '97 or so, on top of the elevator shaft. The best part was, that there were about 30 fire extiguishers on the lading going out to the roof, and on the way out someone not to be named took the extuisher and dry iced the cockiest guy on the floor. He's walking out of the door to the roof, looking like frosty the snow man just as the guy on rounds pops by, after a sound about like a jet engine goes off again in the stairwell.

I've never laughed so hard in my life. Unfortunately DPS wasn't in a laughing mood.
