LeTourneau has a number of rich traditions. Making strange and humorous videos is one of them. On this page is a collection of links (mostly to YouTube) collecting all the ones I can find. Feel free to contact me if you've found one not listed here. The linked videos range from commentary on campus issues, project demonstrations, documentation of floor traditions, and general humor.

Old

The Man's Dryer

Dr. Lunsford: I'm told this video was made in the 1990s. Aeronautical engineering students are small jet engine from Turbines lab to dry their laundry. It's not any laundry dryer, however. The air leaving the turbine engine is traveling at 100+ MPH and exceeds 300 degrees.

LeTU Insecurity

Around the time this was made, there were two major incidents involving security. The first was that a male somehow got into a female dorm after visiting hours and "lockdown" started. Before lockdown, there was a lot of freedom, and most of the dorms were only locked between the hours of midnight and eight AM. Many students were unhappy with the sudden lack of convenience. The second major incident was that the security patrol car was overturned in a ditch as the driver attempted to chase a bicycle thief. The video was rather widely watched and controversial, as someone impersonated YAC and emailed the YouTube link to a large portion of the student body.
