Among some of the more humorous college stories: -as many of you may, or may not know, I attended and graduated from The Citadel, a liberal arts military college in Charleston, SC(from 1980-1984). There are four barracks that house the corps of cadets. I was housed in the fourth barracks, nicknamed, appropriately, The Animal House. Among some of the more zanier things I personally witnessed, or was involved in, during my four years of college in these barracks: -in the Fall of my freshman year two seniors in my company, bored, with too much time on their hands and inebriated from liquor they had snuck into the barracks, spent an entire evening tearing out pages of several phone books, then loosing them off the fourth floor level of the barracks. As it was very breezy the wind carried about two thousand loose pages all over the barracks interior. It took me and my classmates, along with freshmen from the other three companies in the barracks, about an hour to pick up all the pages.  -during my sophomore year, in December of 1981, person(or persons) unknown set fire to a another company's large(12' tall) Christmas tree, which burned to a crisp. Fortunately the fire didn't spread. At the end of the following year(in 1982) someone set fire to the contents of a dumpster left in the barracks(dumpsters were left inside the barracks at the end of every school year for cadets to throw out garbage, etc). -during an SMI(Saturday morning inspection) in the Spring of my junior year(1983) one of the inspecting officers, a Marine Corps Major, discovered an inflatable(female) sex doll hidden away up in the ceiling panel of the room of one of the sophomore cadets in my company, a guy named "Wendell".  -during my sophomore year an unpopular cadet in "R" company, who had "ratted out" a classmate for some kind of minor infraction(considered taboo by the way), returned to his room one day to find a fresh pile of human feces on his bed. -one of the weekly past times of seniors in my company, "T" company, while I was a freshman, was "roach races". As the phrase implies, these seniors would gather in an alcove room and race cockroaches in makeshift cardboard cutouts. -at the end of my freshman year, in May of 1981 me and my classmates pulled a prank on one of the most hated upperclassmen among all of us, a senior from Boston, MA named "John". Finding out from his roommate that "John" hated bugs of each and every kind, we went to a local bait and tackle shop near the Citadel campus and ordered 10,000 crickets. It took two weeks for the shop owner, himself a Citadel graduate, to get the order of insects into his shop. We snuck the insects into the barracks over a period of two weeks, then, when "John" had come back to his room drunk one Saturday night, his roommate "Charley"(who was in cahoots with us) vacated the room and we loosed, out of six boxes, 10,000 crickets and closed the door, removing the latch and tying the door shut from the outside, thereby preventing "John's" only avenue of escape. It didn't take long for this prick to wake up and start hollering. We kept him locked in the room for about forty five minutes before letting him out. He was not, predictably, a happy camper.
