Adams and Pforzheimer Houses settled their six-day "war" Sunday afternoon, but not before a prank masterminded by the Quadling troops sent scores of first-years to the Adams House dining hall for Sunday brunch.

First-year students awoke Sunday morning to find small flyers slipped under their doors, alerting them that the "late rescheduling of a fundraising lunch" had forced Annenberg Hall to close for brunch.

As a result, the flyers said each first-year dormitory had been reassigned to a particular House's dining hall--which is the standard procedure when Annenberg closes for legitimate purposes.

But prank organizers, coordinated the flyers so that each first-year dormitory thought it was one of the few dorms assigned to eat at Adams, while the rest were thought to be assigned to eat at other Houses.

The result, according to some first-years, was a good deal of confusion at Adams and a large number of people forced to trek back to Annenberg or eat at other River Houses.

Canaday resident Veronica Rivera '03 said she and her roommates had little reason to doubt the authenticity of the five or six copies of the flyer that had been slipped under their suite's door.

She said the group made it all the way to Adams, only to hear that the dining hall checker was turning the throng away.

"We kind of fell for it," she admitted.
