 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough (moved to main space August 22) and long enough. Tone is neutral, and citation density is good. Sources are limited, but this is to be expected for a fairly narrow topic. Earwig's raises no copyvio concerns. Both hooks are within length constraints and cited. Neither seems especially attention-grabbing, as I would assume most colleges of the time had similar pranks and events, but we're only talking about a 7-year window in the history of a larger university, so it's probably as good as can be done with limited material. I would favor ALT0 over ALT1, as it is slightly more "hook-y". QPQ was done. No images associated with either hook, so no concerns there. Acdixon (talk · contribs) 16:22, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
