Back in the 68-72 era that Goose refers to there was an “incident” at Hoo Tow — some intrepid soul apparently climbed to the top one night, leaving white paint footprints on the building all the way up, and affixing a white sheet to the very top.  The sheet, when flapping in the wind, looked like, well you can guess.  It all stayed that way for a few days and then the university basically sandblasted the exterior and got rid of the footprints. A couple of days after that, the footprints reappeared - this time going downward.

So Hoo Tow got a double sandblasting that year.

Qwerty....our classmate and my dormmate, the late, great Ernie Milburn performed that epic feat. He also used to roam the attics of the Quad and climbed to the top of MemChu, rappelling down to the interior and playing "Chest Fever" on the mighty Wurlitzer, which got him busted. Ernie was killed in the summer of '68 while free-climbing Half Dome (I believe it was...but someplace in Yosemite).

Now, as I recall, it was El Capitan.
