College of Agriculture Building Swimming Pool?

Scott Sefton surveys the damage in the Vocational Agricultural Association student lounge on the main floor of the Agriculture Building on Oct. 10, as students arriving that day found that unnamed persons (perhaps from another ollege, and dressed in red?) had spent the night taping plastic over the whole lounge floor and up the walls and overturned tables - filling the room with hundreds of gallons of water. There's even a dirt island in the middle, with a flag sporting an evil grinning red face. Sefton, an SVAA vice-president, says his group's members, students in the Diploma in Agriculture program, begin classes the day cafter Thanksgiving, and often get a prank welcome. He said they'd begin the cleanup that afternoon.
