As incoming freshmen, Yalies are showered with laundry lists of can’t-miss experiences to have before graduation — taking a class with Harold Bloom GRD ’56 or attending a Master’s Tea, hooking up in the stacks or sliding across the women’s table.

But with just a month until Commencement, what do graduating seniors still hope to do while at Yale?

In an e-mail sent to members of the class of 2009, the News asked seniors to identify how they intend to take advantage of their final weeks at Yale. The following selection of responses — from casual card-playing to streaking...

Streaking through campus? What a noval idea! It has been done across college campuses for decades. Please spare us the "shock" and go do something more creative.

How immature,self-absorbed and self-indulgent can this midget, Mr. Young, be?! Wow, this guy is soooo provocative and original!

Has this guy progressed one iota in his time in Yale? I think not. What a pathetic excuse of a student, and shameless waste of an education. Someone who was truly worthy of the Yale experience should have taken his place.

Five half-yards of beer equals the height of a 5'7" senior? Good thing he was the Photo Editor and not the Arithmetic Editor!

back in my day, 5 half yards was a typical monday

If Mr. Young really thought that his penis wasn't that big of a deal, he wouldn't go streaking through Bass. Streaking and naked parties are the refuge of those morons who are still coming to grips with the fact that other people have parts.

I'm sure Mr. Young's future employers will be very pleased to read about such noble aspirations. It should also make for some interesting conversations once his children are old enough to google him.

Also, 5 half-yards is 7.5 feet. How many Yale undergrads looked at this article before it went to press?

Has anyone yet considered one half-yard per foot of height?

Let's just say he's rounding down a bit.
