I was a candidate for Student Senate (i won) and the early morning of election day about 5 of us in my party hopped the fence, our car parked behind the field house, climbed to the top of the high side of the stadium and taped on a huge banner telling people to vote for our party. You could see it from a good chunk of central campus As we finished, we could see a campus security car that seemed to coming from Hillside toward us . We scrambled down the 60 rows of seats, ran to hop the fence to the car but the security guy arrived before we could leave. He asked what we were doing - duh- and asked for our names without asking for our IDs. One of our group, obviously the brightest, quickly gave the name of someone from our opposing party. The rest of us follewed suit. He wrote the names and let us go without telling us to remove the banner which stayed for several hours before wind tore it down. I missed few games there even though we weren’t very good - did beat Yale for the first time my junior year. The team slogan could have been “We might be small, but we are slow, too”. [/QUOTE]
