Wednesday, May 13, 1998 WSU student riots a joke N ews oriars KARIN REDSTON Contributing Writer What started out last Saturday night as the last blowout party of the school year at Washington State University in Pullman, Wash., turned into a riot cov ering six blocks, involving around a thousand students and injuring over 20 law enforcement officials and four stu dents. The cause of the riot was blamed by students on the university’s decision to ban alcohol on campus, fraternities and sororities. The university had imple mented the policy in order to stop un derage drinking. While watching news coverage on various television channels two thoughts came to mind. The first was the intelligent way studehts let the school administration know how unfair this policy was by going out and getting drunk, causing property dam age, hurting a lot of people and generally breaking many laws. That must have shown those mean old school officials...wahhhhh!!!!. I look forward to future riots that one student promised unless the University changed its evil policy. My second thought wandered down the road of parental reactions on seeing their underage children, who should have been studying for Monday’s first final, on television waving a beer and giving America the finger. I would love to be a fly on those household walls. One student emphasized that WSU was a party school and there was not anything else to do...excuse me? I am sure mom and dad paid all that money so that Johnny could go off to school and party. Who needs a good job any The Registrar’s office is now accepting graduation peti tions for the 1997-98 school year. Inquire at CC 100. The work entitled "Movable Lab" will be the topic of discussion Tuesday, May 19 at 12:30 in Pl01. "Movable Lab" is currently on display in the Pauling Courtyard Pond and is a piece of the campus-wide sculpture show. Every one is invited to attend. All returning students enrolled in a Spring term class will receive an Early Fall Registration Appointment flier in the mail during the week of May 4. The letter will list the dates and times of advising and registration sessions. If there are any questions, call ext. 2770 or stop by the Help Center. way? He also pointed out that students were going to drink anyway so why the policy. Well, in that case let’s wipe out all those laws on stealing, murder, etc. since people are going to commit them anyway. Every student who participated in last weekend’s inci dent should be suspended, expelled or reprimanded accord ing to their degree of participation. WSU’s policies on alcohol and drugs were put in place for a reason. I may be wrong but last weekend’s incident reeks of escalating prob lems of which alcohol and drugs were playing a key role. If the students had acted out their frustrations in a posi tive way and for a worthy cause instead of their own self ish, immature and self-aggrandizing attitudes, then I would be more sympathetic. Instead, I hope the school makes hell look like a summer camp. Since these students have so much time on their hands, maybe a few thousand hours of community service will cool their heels. Dear G rizzo: about seven months ago some chick ens were found mutilated on campus. Each and every cartoon I draw is a memorial to our late feathered friends. DEAR > Mi GRIZZO a column by Mark Hoffmann Dear Grizzo, Dear Grizzo, I’m confused by all the chickens in your cartoons. Why arc they there? -Confused at CCC Well, Moron, in case you weren’t paying attention (or weren’t literate), Why do your cartoons always lack detail? You don’t seem to be a very good artist. -Critical of Cartoons Well, Idiot, sounds to me like you’ve got some sort of anger-control disorder. Maybe if you spent your stu pid time doing something productive (like growing a brain), you pathetic loser, instead of putting down inno cent people like me, you’d lead a hap pier life, jerk. As for your patheti cally simple question, my cartoons are drawn with as little detail as possible so as not to confuse the average reader of the Clackamas Print: an ape-like hominid with sub-average intelli gence and a distinct lack of original thought. Thank you for writing, but next time, lay off the crack pipe and keep your remedial little inquiries to yourself.
