Quote:Nicholson flew above the girls’ dormitories doing aerial acrobatics. He also dropped leaflets overhead urging the girls to “Ditch Those Wimps at Denison.” Of course, all the girls ran out on the lawn to see what was going on up in the sky. When they did, we ran into the girls’ rooms and rifled their panty drawers. They came back in and discovered they had no brassieres, shorts, or anything. We took the trophies and attached them to our cars’ antennas and drove around the campus honking our horns; we thought this was the cat’s pajamas! It was considered very daring. And to do it in conjunction with another student doing airplane stunts? Well, that was classic 1948.

Rich boy games. At our university, we called them "Frat Rats", because they consumed, but provided little but stupid and dangerous ploys. Rushes where the prospective members parked on neighbor's lawns for the drunk-fests. Future captains of industry, right there.
