So I mounted a campaign against the practice. It was not the most popular move. In fact, a threat was passed along to me at one point (to which I responded by saying that everyone knew where they could find me at 4 every afternoon -- the local tavern; no one ever showed).<br />Anyway, in my final editorial on the subject, I opined that the practice would not be discontinued until something bad happened that became public knowledge. Then the college officials would say they had never thought that sort of thing would happen, etc. That fall, lo and behold, some hazers left a paraplegic kid on a traffic island in Center City. That was the end of hazing. Organized sadism remains sadism.Frank Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18410473158808750903noreply@blogger.com
