Class of 2009 Duct Tape Fundraiser

May 1, 2008

In a fundraiser supporting the Class of 2009, Public Safety Patrol Supervisor Burton Brown volunteered to be duct taped to a wall in the dining hall. The auspicious irony of the campus May Day tradition added to the spirit of the spectacle as layer upon layer of tape was added.
