Inspired by a famous 50-year-old Life magazine photograph, Saint Mary's College students attempt to break the campus' 24 bodies in a phone booth record Wednesday on their Moraga, Calif. campus. The phone booth competition comes 50 years after Life magazine published a now-famous photograph of 22 St. Mary's students stuffed into a phone booth, a popular college stunt in the 1950s. Current students matched the number in the 1959 image, though they failed to break the campus record of 24 set in 1984. You write the cutline. (AP Photo/Contra Costa Times, Karl Mondon)
