Twenty years later, pranksters donate more than $138,000 for student innovation awards, 4.4.08

Twenty years ago on April 12, the statue of William Marsh Rice in the Academic Quad did an about-face when 11 adventuresome students found a way to hoist the one-ton Willy into the air and turn him halfway around to face Fondren Library.  Four of the students are ECE alumni: T.J. Brudner, BSEE '88, Gregory Heath, BSEE '89,
Chris Ryan, MEE '93, and Kelly Miller, BSEE ' 88.
