TIME: top MIT and Caltech student pranks (a photo essay)

<p>My freshman year at Ohio State we had a grad student(astro-physics) living in one of the singles on our floor. A number of us collected Lanterns(the student daily paper) for several weeks. We managed to wrangle a master key “legally”(ie not stolen) from the front desk one nite when he was out and proceeded to fill his room floor to ceiling with crumpled up papers, anxiously awaiting his return. What followed was better than our prank.</p>

<p>Opening his door he coolly commented, “Anyone got a match?” And then more seriously told us to call up an elevator. We proceeded to fill it with all the newspapers and pushed the down button. BTW there was 2-3 elevators in Stradley but the filled vator coursed the floors of Stradley until the next morning.</p>
