A Cappint Stunt must be distinquished from the treasure hunt. The Stunt generally do not involve the kidnapping or borrowing of any chatels, rather it is directed more at misdirection of the public by way of general pranks

and a door to door survey in Glenmore street registering objections to the second airport being in the Botanical gardens.

All stunts must be registered and approved at the Studass office before the stunt eventuates, so the VUWSA can accept some legal responsibility.
