Flash mobs, those outbursts of what would seem to be spontaneous dance numbers, have become Web sensations – and a common part of college life. A lunchtime flash mob at Thorne Hall in May has thousands of hits – and is mentioned along with a link in the New York Times article, “College Flash Mobs Become Pep Rallies Made for YouTube.“
