To the 46 residents of Thayer North, Tuesday night's self-imposed curfew was like a trained monkey playing dead. The illegitimate announcement that the whole entry was on indefinite "Social Probation" was the logical conclusion to an intensive campaign of systematic "spring" proctor-baiting.
In an official-looking announcement, entry residents were "required" to be in bed by 10:30 p.m. until further notice. At that time, a floor monitor was to check all rooms. Studying "in bed" was to be allowed until midnight, when all lights would go out. Any violation would be punished "severely."
Harrassed by late returnees begging pardon, the dorm keeper blasted his reply to the fake note, saying that real McCoy notes would be handwritten in the future.
Earlier, the victimized proctor had been inundated with rolling trash barrels, nailed into the bathroom, locked out of his room, doused with whiskey, and extinguished by Pyrene's best. His charges also boast five broken doors, 300 beer cans dropped on target from a four-story elevation, and several spontaneous combustions.
