Students from several campus groups at the University of Pennsylvania staged a candlelight march earlier this month to protest an April Fool's prank involving the hanging of a female mannequin from a central campus flagpole.
Organizers of the march said the hanging incident was an act of harassment against women and an apparent reference to the alleged gang-rape of a university undergraduate by members of a UPenn fraternity two months ago.
