<p>Current Rice students, please tell us of some jacks you’ve been involved in or heard about.</p>
<p>what’s a jack?</p>
<p>Jacks are done during O-week and during Beer Bike. You must have heard of one of these things somewhere in your search process. Jacks are friendly “pranks” that colleges play on each other. For example, one year someone put Martel College on Ebay because “it is not a college.” Don’t worry, you’ll understand when you get here. They’re really just a lot of fun. And no need to worry about constant pranks. They’re only done during O-week and Beer Bike, and they need to be approved by a committee so that they’re not dangerous.</p>
<p>What was this goldfish in an elevator I heard about?</p>
<p>I’m a freshman at Jones, and during my oweek we built a giant ***** in front of Martel. It was sweet.</p>
<p>EDIT: Pen!s is a censored word? Is that a joke?</p>
<p>dimnar…i’m a freshman at martel…who are you? email at <a href="mailto:huitzlopochtli@gmail.com…lol">huitzlopochtli@gmail.com…lol</a>. Yeah, we ruined the ending of harry potter book 6 by painting a giant dark mark with “snape kills dumbledore” all over the dorm.</p>
<p>I just looked at your profile and realized that I know you. I think we’ve only talked like once or twice but you’re my facebook friend lol. I just sent you a facebook message.</p>
<p>So what are other “jacks”…er… pranks have been played in the past? These sound very interesting…Not that I would use them as inspiration for senior class pranks or anything…;)</p>
<p>haha…dimnar…I think we talked in the ice cream line at the servery…lol.</p>
<p>the goldfish thing was done to sid rich from lovett (woot woot). since sid is our colony (since it was built on our parking lot) we jacked its elevator and dubbed it natural wildlife growth project or something. put plastic on the walls, filled it with water, and put fish in there.</p>
<p>lovett rules! =)</p>
<p>a jack that lovett did to all of the other colleges during oweek was blasting the song “a$$ and t*tties” at 2am and dancing along to it in all of the other college quads. a jack that was done on lovett was that another college put burnt toast in the hallways (since lovett is said to look like a toaster), then went around screaming “you’re toast!”</p>
<p>I think Hanszen taped cups filled with dead fish under the tables in either Brown or Jones (they’re basically the same college, no one knows the difference).</p>
<p>Hmm…I never noticed the lovett jack…did you guys do martel?
I think Baker built a giant wooden box and put it over the Hanszen statue, and then surrounded it with horse manure.</p>
<p>IMO, jacks that are smelly and/or a pain for housing and dining to clean (ie. manure, dead fish, lunchmeat), are not good jacks at all. Jacks are best when they are creative and funny.</p>
<p>i heard they moved the willie statue in my tour there. like turned it around</p>
<p>yeah i heard that too, and then a group of pro engineers tried to move it back and cracked it in half.</p>
<p>and the fountain by the polysci building has some chemical in it that prevents it from bubbling no matter what kind of detergent you pour in it because it was jacked so much. or at least that’s what they told us.</p>
<p>yea the group of pro engineers couldnt figure out how to put it back. apparently it was brilliant. they had to hire the students to do it lol ahahha</p>
<p>Well I know Baker had a pretty awesome jack on Will Rice during O-Week…we filled boxes with rotten fish and put them in Will Rice’s bathrooms. It was very “Mission: Impossible” style. One of the highlights of O-week for sure.</p>
<p>It was smelly. I was in Special Ops (was that what we were called?). There were three of us. Believe me, that **** smelled. I don’t think it was fish, I think it was parts of animals… that shouldn’t be named. In the end, I felt sorta sorry for the Will Ricers, I heard that a few people were kinda sick and had to sleep in the commons.</p>
<p>Will Rice came back by hiding everyone’s clothes during Baker 13.</p>
<p>some of that stuff sounds kinda harsh</p>
