Answer: A) By 1973, most students put the turbulent years of anti-war protests behind them and refocused on campus and their studies. One group managed a prank, placing a giant image of Chancellor William Danforth, complete with Mickey Mouse hands, on the face of Brookings’ iconic clock.

Congrats to this week’s winner, Natalie Kirchhoff, a senior in Arts & Sciences, who will receive an “I Knew WashU” luggage tag!
