Pranks/performances
Powerbook Startup Sound/Noise
This prank is set in a library. A guy turns on his Powerbook. The standard startup noise crescendoes into an entire symphony, and goes on, and on, and on. Most students look on aghast or startled. Others try to continue studying as if nothing is happening. Someone comes to the Powerbook student's aide, but no one protests. Eventually, the noise comes to an end, and everyone returns to their business.
Reach! A Lecture Musical
A professor is lecturing to sleepy students in 309 Havemeyer. A young man (Mike Barry) stands up and interjects, "Reach!" Music starts playing, and the young man sings a song about how professors need to inspire their students. As the song continues, three other students (Kate Berthold, Patrick Young, Trey McArver) stand up and sing. They come together in the center of the classroom for the finale, before swiftly disappearing afterwards, leaving the professor and students astounded.
