<p>Swarthmore Admits Five Na'vi for Class of 2014</p>

<p>by THE DAILY GAZETTE | April 1, 2010</p>

<p>Next year, Swatties may be confused when they see several Na’vi students walking around in Sharples, the Science Center, and other buildings on campus. However, Swatties should have no fear; the Navi are not here to fight. Rather, they are just as eager and passionate as other Swatties in getting a liberal arts education.</p>

<p>Swarthmore has a tradition of some pretty good April Fool’s Pranks on campus. I thought the year they chalked the entire issue of the Daily Gazette on the sidewalks was pretty fantastic.</p>

<p>Setting up Brittney Spears college dorm room in Parrish was good.</p>

<p>Jake Beckman had several classics with his oversized sculptures like the Converse All-Stars and one that has become a landmark, now in version 2.0:</p>

<p>But, the grand prize has to go to the infamous *Hangman of Hungary * prank. This is seriously funny:</p>

<p>I think this has got to be this year’s winner.

<p>Especially because Swatties are way too smart to spend all night digging a hole deep enough to bury something as big as Big Chair 2.0.</p>

<p>Brilliant (or should I say glittery?) job, DG! What I would like to know is, was the on campus version of “The Truth About the Truth” any different?</p>

<p>Amusing note: Voice of America and NPR contacted Swarthmore’s press office to ask about the new North Korean school a dean was leaving for ( [Dean</a> Leaves for North Korea :: The Daily Gazette](<a href=“daily.swarthmore.edu domain has changed”>daily.swarthmore.edu domain has changed) ).</p>

<p>The Daily Gazette was one of the Chronicle of Higher Education’s 10 best April Fool’s Day issues last week.</p>
