The Wacquette, an annual Racquette April Fools’ tradition, almost fell through the cracks in 2008. But I was determined to keep the tradition alive, so I took on the task of laying out and writing/obtaining content for the entire edition, with some writing and other help from our editor-in-chief and photo editor.

This was basically my opportunity to pretend I worked for The Onion for a week. My proudest moments:

• When Gallagher’s publicist called the day we went live online and said, “Gallagher’s already booked for that day!”
• When my Management professor mentioned my Elliot Spitzer article, “Spitzer admits to April Fools’ prank (‘Gotcha!’ proclaims former ‘ex’ governor)” in class.
• The entire “Anthropomorphic, clothed bear visits, attacks students” photo spread. “Below, lower right: The Bear is a womanizer.”
