Stanfurd Pranks the Campanile?
I received a phone call last night about a giant maple leaf on the campanille. Today I got an e-mail with more details on the incident. Here are more details from CalStuff reader Clifton:

A friend and I were taking pictures of all the blue lit buildings on campus before they got taken down last night. As we were taking pics of the Campinile, we noticed someone was messing with the gold lights. It seems they took all the gold signs off each side and replaced it with a singular "maple leaf" symbol on the south side of the tower. After we showed our unhappiness with such change, they told us to shut up because "they already won already".

We are still unsure who the perpetrators were, but we called UCPD so they could look for them/alert rally com of the change. Some of the people were wearing red sweatshirts, and I've been told the Stanford Band had a big thing for maple leaves this year. The way they talked/knew the campus, we originally thought they might be Cal students (maybe this was a political statement?), or maybe it meant nothing at all. At any rate, one would think this was a harmless prank, but according to a person in charge of the lights, they broke at least one of the templates used, which cost $500 a piece.

Here is a photo of the maple leaf:

Reports from members of Rally Comm was that there was also a giant penis projected on the Campanile as well. Anyone with pictures of that, please let us know.Email This Post!
