According to the magazine, "Three students sitting in the living room of RCA #7 were startled by a 'huge crash' and discovered a giant crack running down the bedroom wall and a goliath boulder of ice outside the window." A Reed maintenance manager estimated the damages will cost between $2,000 and $3,000.
