Chron covers Aggie ring ceremony

The Chronicle's got a puff piece on the storied tradition of the Aggie ring. It's a nice primer on Aggie lore. But this is what caught my eye:

"I don't drink, but this is a tradition,"the senior says, grabbing a schooner of beer. Barker drops the ring into her glass. It floats to the bottom.

Floats. To the bottom. Did you ever hear the one about the Aggie who became a newspaper reporter?
