Primal Scream Prank Shameful

I was disappointed to read in "Cold Barely Affects 'Primal' Tradition" (News, Jan. 19) that the path of primal scream had been intentionally iced over by Harvard students.
Christina S. Lewis' column "Necessary Nakeness" (Jan. 19) offered a great explanation of the important role that frivolous social traditions like primal scream can play at Harvard. As an enthusiastic primal screamer, I was lucky to follow the runners ahead of me who chose to cut through the grass rather than brave the "booby-trapped corner." The prank was shameful; I only hope that no one will be discouraged from running next winter.
