Yet another college prank that got big media coverage here in Boston.
Someone (MIT of course) set up someone's dorm room on the Charles River.
The dorm manager would not even let the poor freshman retrieve the
furniture for fear of thin ice.

The best college prank I have heard of is the one that was played at
the Harvard Football Stadium at the Havard vs. Yale game.  If ouy remember,
some students (MIT again) put a baloon under the turf of the field --
the baloon blew up during the 2nd quarter while the game was being played.

These are cute but destructive to property.  If the students paid for the
repair of the field (or loss of furniture) it would not be so bad.  Although
the river really doesn't need more junk in it.  I do not approve of such
actions, but one must admit that they are mildly amusing (unless you are
personally affected).
