Wow. Looks like "That Other" Institute of Technology still has that ol' fighting spirit.
We decided that the Academic fair would have the largest concentration of prefrosh, so at 1pm we unloaded 800 shirts reading “MIT” on the front and “…because not everyone can go to Caltech” on the back, and casually walked in through the open loading dock in the back of the building with nine boxes of shirts. Within the first twenty minutes we handed out nearly 400 shirts. No one noticed anything because the shirts were individually wrapped in plastic bags. However, It was only a matter of time before one of the prefrosh opened the bag and decided to put on the shirt. When one of our shirt distributors noticed this happening we picked up the boxes and were gone in a minute. Looking behind us we saw the room filled with campus police all looking for us. A couple of us went to the Athletics fair through the front entrance, nodding to the door monitor who knew us as prefrosh, with a few boxes of shirts. We were able to pass out shirts for ten minutes before the door monitor stormed up to us and asked “Who told you to hand out those T-shirts?” to which we replied, “I think he is somewhere over there,” then picked up the boxes and bolted.
I'm proud of the little whippersnappers.
(I was always pleased that Caltech, by the way, was about one of the most apolitical campuses one could ever hope to find... the way things are going these days, it really is going to be a bastion of sanity in more ways than one.)
