Oh, Yale
From our inbox:
On last Sunday evening, the Yale Society for the Exploration of Campus Secrets (YSECS) held a meeting for freshman recruits. Basically, they promised that all YSECS members are actively recruited for the CIA. For the past week, tons of freshman have been aimlessly wandering Sterling library in search of a secret room where supposedly professors would go to hide from their students (freshman were told of this room at the meeting and told that if they found it or other hidden places, they could be tapped for ysecs). A group of four freshman (1 girl and 3 boys) were told the location and wandered into the room. The room is actually on top of the L & B Reading Room in Sterling Library. At 9:45 Thursday evening, they were crawling in the room and broke through the ceiling of the reading room sending large chunks of plaster to the ground, within a packed room of studying students. They came down and then stood around gaping at their hole in the ceiling. A Yale security walked in and they quickly left. A student studying and observing this whole escapade ratted them out. New Haven police were then seen interrogating them outside Sterling Library. There are rumors circulating Yale campus of them being sent to the ex-comm.
Eh, who cares. We've seen this before in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

Good job, RDave. Your legacy of douchebaggery remains intact.

zzzz. that’s a small whole for a college kid to fall through. seems only Dobby the house-elf sized to me.

tsk tsk, the first thing they said was don’t get caught! or don’t get pregnant. or don’t cause property damage. there were a lot of things they said not to do, basically.

idiots…you are supposed to walk on the wooden beams! why hasnt ysecs been shut down yet?

Fuck you rdave and your degenerate disciples for duping yet another crop of innocent freshmen into unproductive and potentially dangerous activities. One day some freshman might fall off the top of Harkness Tower just because your stupid little group mastered a few techniques of psychological persuasion and feel the need to exploit them to feel powerful.
Incidentally, anyone know how to get to said room?

Well, now we have even more of a reason to tear down the horrendous eyesore that is Sterling.

yaaaylie: Incidentally, the degenerates seem to not be feeling too chatty. Must be all the Kool-Aid.

Well clearly Casper the unfriendly ghost is monopolizing everyone’s attention. Sexual deviance always trumps simple moral degradation when it comes to gossip.
But honestly, the collective insecurity of Yale freshmen keeps puzzling me. Breaking and entering, criminal trespass, risking getting fried alive to go explore steam tunnels, all to try to belong to a shady group with ambiguous promises which may sound like the next greatest thing to eager ears, but really have no pith or substance. And even if you’re tapped, you don’t become a member among equals, and it turns out that your “fellow members” don’t know many more campus secrets than what the freshmen rushes found and really aren’t into crawling into narrow attic spaces as much as you thought they were.

It was 2 boys, 2 girls. It was a foot, not a body. No-one “ratted” us out. We have no affiliation with ysecs.

Of course you’re not affiliated with ysecs, but you sure were trying your damnedest to change that. Slim chance of that happening after this debacle- though I’d imagine that you’ve heard from them by now. They’re almost certainly in freakout damage-control mode at this point. Please remember, anonymous freshman, that ysecs does not care one bit about you or your companions, except perhaps as means of extricating themselves from this situation. It’s a shame what happened to that room, but I hope things go well for you.
