By Doug Evans · Wednesday, Jan. 12,2005 1:17 a.m.

By Lori Snow · Wednesday, Jan. 12,2005 12:39 a.m.

It's 40 degrees outside on a quiet, clear night as sophomore Kirk Nathanson stands outside the Student Building. There's a hint of frost on the grass nearby, and he can almost see his breath as he exhales. He's only wearing cargo shorts and a long-sleeved fleece sweatshirt -- his lucky sweatshirt -- but he doesn't seem to notice the cold. He looks at the 30-foot stone wall. He's going to climb it.
