More stories from the good old days - in Dorm 3 we played a fun prank on CFAWers. It was called The Five Man Lift. We had one really tall, skinny guy who was over 6 foot 5. Lets see if I can describe this accurately. You lay three people down on the floor parallel to one another - the two outside guys (Dorm 3ers) had their heads at the same end. The prankee/CFAWer had his head between their feet and his feet between their heads. Next two guys (more Dorm 3ers) laid across this pile - one at the feet end and one across the CFAWers chest one at the opposite end . These two are perpendicular to the other three. So the prankee is trapped - he cannot move nor see what's happening. The story the CFAWers were told was that the tall guy can lift all 5 of these guys due to the physics of the situation. So tall guy stood in the middle, working his feet between gaps in the mass of bodies on the floor, the crowd gathered, cheering and getting worked into a frenzy. (This usually took place at the Thursday Hall meeting which occurred during CFAW.) The "lifter" reached down and grabbed the CFAWer's belt or waist band - tugs on it as if to warm up and then loads the guys pants with either shaving cream or warm water or very, very, very cold water or ice. We humiliated many a CFAWer this way - I'm sorry that's just not right, Lord forgive me, and please be with the pygmies in New Guinea.
My wife tells of one chapel service just before Christmas break in which one of the football players received an award. He remained on the platform for the rest of the service. After the presentation and just before Rev. Falwell's message one of the more famous female soloists sang "Oh Holy Night." The good Reverend decided to make one comment before he started his sermon. He looked at the football player and said - if you married her she could sing that for you every morning!" Chapel almost ended early that day.
Of course there was also the time one of the faculty preached ( you wouldn't believe from what Department he hailed - still a good friend of mine) a sermon on dating. He told the young women that if a guy was pressuring her to have intercourse - she should tell him to stick it in his ear!
