Students gear up for fooling By Nika Schulte Daily Staff Reporter One year ago today, LSA sophomore Alex Gregor stumbled out of bed, wandered into the hall and noticed some familiar-looking underwear. Gregor said that even though it was embarrassing to see his drawers on display, he didn't get mad because of the obvious planning that had gone into the prank. I was pretty impressed. Today, as calendar pages turn to April, many other University students will join Gregor as victims of April Fool's Day pranks. Some perpetrators said they will use gadgets to aid their mischievous schemes.
Life's too serious.
Some of the popular items people use in their tricks include fake dog excrement, itching powder, sour candy and chewing gum that turns the chewer's mouth different colors. Most students who said they are planning an April fools joke will use items they already own. For LSA sophomore Ryan Smith, the key ingredient for this year's practical joke will be glue. Smith said he plans to spread super glue on his roommate's pillow after his roommate leaves the room. His roommate played a similar prank on another friend last year and said it was successful.
