MOORHEAD, Minn., May 1 (UPI) -- Students at a Minnesota college celebrated graduation with a late-night skinny dip in a campus pond.
A security guard at Concordia College found somewhere between 50 and 80 naked students or recent graduates at the pond early Monday, hours after Sunday's graduation ceremony, the Fargo (N.D.) Forum reported. The guard called police when he "did not get the cooperation he hoped for" from the students, said Roger Degerman, the college's senior director for communications and marketing.
In fact, some students pushed the guard's golf cart into the pond.
By the time Moorhead police arrived, they found some students still on the scene, but all at least had their underwear on, Deputy Chief Bob Larson said. Officers also gathered up wallets and clothing items left behind by students who had made themselves scarce.
Larson said no one has been charged because officers do not know if the students who left wallets behind were the ones who pushed the cart into the pond. He said there have been rumors of similar festivities in the past but usually police only hear about them "after the fact."
