But at 2 a.m. the night before the Big Day, the bird disappeared from the off-campus apartment in which it was residing. No festival. Two graduate students, probably Swarthmore graduates and bitter, who lived upstairs, had casually stolen the bird. Not knowing what to do with it, they handed it over to Alfred E. Vellucci, Cambridge City Councilman, who nabbed prize television time by announcing to the Boston press that it would be presented back to the Lampoon in the Crimson offices...
