While digging through some cabinets in the station (looking for
rubber bands), I came across the minutes from the Executive Committee
meetings from the 1960's.

February 19, 1963:  The WRPI banner was destroyed at the Clarkson
hockey game.  A letter will be sent to the Clarkson student
government, with a copy sent to the Clarkson administration.

The game was on 2/16, with Clarkson demolishing RPI 7-3, so I don't
know why the Tech. supporters needed to destroy the station's banner.
Jayson and I have feared the loss of the banner by irate fans, but
only at places they can get to it, like Cornell, where we do the
"haul-in-the-banner" maneuver at the final buzzer.
 
The destroyed banner would not be replaced until December 1965.
 
Boy, now I REALLY don't like Clarkson.
