Protests today – No imagination : Can’t the students organise some amazing fun mass flashmob protests?I think a mass Ninja Police one would be good, where everyone turns up in yellow florescent jackets and helmets and then breaks into a ninja dance every half hour or so. Hilarious.
Or a mass dance in where the musical accompaniment is a mix of

A quick look at the Met Sine Thesis Helmet.
Fargo - High school activities budgets are stretched thin. Football teams need helmets, soccer teams need uniforms, choirs need sheet music, bands need instruments and actors need scripts.
Many of the needs are met. Booster clubs help provide the rest.
School districts in Fargo are leaning on booster clubs more than ever – ranging from providing $15,000 to $72,000 yearly for extracurricular activities.
“They are extremely valuable,” West Fargo activities director Curt Jones said. “They are the support group next to our school district, which funds 99 percent of the needs for activities. They can do things above what the district can provide.”
Booster clubs come in several different forms in Fargo.
South has separate clubs for each activity. West Fargo’s activities are under one umbrella. Oak Grove’s booster club focuses on supporting teachers and students in the classroom.
In 1903, Princeton and Yale met in the college football championship in New Haven, Connecticut. Yale had been unbeaten up to that point, only to fall to Princeton 11-6. Princeton depended on Hall of Fame guard John DeWitt , who seemed to have played both defense and offense. In the game, DeWitt scored all of Princeton’s 11 points, including a blocked Yale field goal attempt in which he ran back the ball 75 yards for a touchdown. He was also known as a great punter and drop-kicker, apparently able to drop-kick 50 yard field goals from any angle on the field. So great was DeWitt’s heroics, signs on the Princeton campus showed “DeWitt 11, Yale 6.”
Watching the film, it’s interesting to see that no one wore helmets and plays happened in such quick succession, making today’s no-huddle offense seem snail pace. Also this is before the forward pass was introduced to the sport. President Theodore Roosevelt intervened in the sport in 1905 in an attempt to help make football safer after 19 people were killed in a single season and almost led to a permanent ban on the sport.
