As can be seen in the image to the left, Loope was clearly attempting to excavate a flat plane, in the hopes of creating evidence of a series of erosional surfaces known as the Bagley Terrace. Looking on is a clearly disgusted but ultimately powerless J.W. Willams. Said Williams, "I tried to stop [Loope], but he just ran into the river. I was unable to mitigate his falsification of the alluvial record, as his Gore Tex shin guards kept him dry."
Williams later attempted to appeal to Loope's emotional side, by stating that the blaze orange caps which they were wearing essentially made them brothers. Loope replied, "so presumably I must be an objective researcher. I can't let our common knitted head gear hue impede my judgement. Williams, go counts some pollen."
Loope was spotted several hours later on the 5th floor of Science Hall, working feverishly on a Sigma Xi grant, and cursing loudly at the heater.
