*** REPLACE THIS LINE AT YOUR OWN DAMN RISK  ***

   Earlier this year some friends of mine and I were sitting about discussing
the traditional senior prank at our school. Since we were all student jumpers,
skydiving immediately suggested itself. What if we three were to parachute in
to graduation ceremonies (held outdoors in front of Baker Library)?
   Having neither the experience nor chutzpa to organize such a feat, the idea
didn't progress beyond the germinal thought.
   Still I wonder, though, what are the legal and practical implications of
getting your local drop zone to take you up and let you jump over some
random piece of turf? Does anyone have some good stories of jumps like this
that they have seen or, better yet, done?
