The Underpants of Science

The Underpants of Science Museum opens on March 31st, 2006 in the lobby of UT-Austin's Physics-Math-Astronomy building. This display of entirely authentic undergarments from the great figures of Math and Science is intended to honor those who have illuminated our understanding of the universe, and has nothing to do with Saturday's date.

The View from The Man

In the ever-vigilant Campus Watch of 4/3/2006, amidst the Consumptions of Alcohol by a Minor and the Thefts of Cellular Telephone, we find this:
ROBERT LEE MOORE HALL, 2515 Speedway
Criminal Mischief: A UT staff member reported an unidentified subject(s) hung undergarments from the ceiling located inside a 4th floor lobby. Signs placed in the lobby provided a name of an organization responsible for the creation of the proclaimed “museum.” Later that same day, a request for subscription to the Campus Watch came in. The prefix for the e-mail address was the same as the organization listed on the signs -- happy reading. Removal cost: $25.00. Reported on 03-31-06 at 8:21 AM.

(We are looking into a way to either restitute the $25 removal fee or to make an equivalent donation.)

The Daily Texan has Underpants

Enjoy The Daily Texan (UT's student newspaper) coverage of the Underpants of Science Museum: today (4/3)'s issue has the well-written article "Pranksters' undie display short-lived" as well as our impassioned 'Firing Line' letter, "UT's panties twisted". (Nice headline on the last one BTW.)
