WSU student riots a joke
N ews

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 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.
