According to one of my all-time favorite articles in The Tech ([here](<a href=“http://www-tech.mit.edu/V110/N37/jackso.37o.html]here[/url] ):”>http://www-tech.mit.edu/V110/N37/jackso.37o.html )):</a>
In order to be allowed to have fun, [MIT students] must gain the signatures of half of our classmates, our advisor, three graduate residents (only two of whom can live in the same living group), and Dr. Ruth Westheimer. We then submit these signatures and a Fun Proposal Form to COFFEE (The Committee On Free Fun and Exciting Entertainment) and hope for permission.</p>
<p>With a well-written proposal, your chances are still slim, but just last year, one sophomore was granted permission to square dance in a cafeteria and a junior was allowed to put up a humorous picture of a bulldog in his room. But I suppose you probably have a similar system at (insert name of stupid person’s college here).

<p>(Can I add, while I’m being silly, that the OP’s use of the distinction between “big” posters and incoming freshmen amuses me? I mean, I’m actually rather small, for what it’s worth.)</p>
