It seems to me that Val Swinton's article "University
bonfire enthusiasm prompts 17 arrests" was slightly
biased-against the law enforcement agencies represented
and in favor of the Greek system. The article featured one
of the Delta Upsilon's fine upstanding men, who was com
templating legal actions for alleged mistreatment. The
article also mentioned that only Greek and city-owned
property was destroyed.
The article did not mention that destruction of several
trees, land-scaping and widespread littering of alcoholic
beverage containers on university property and residence
halls lawns. Nor were the burning of several signs such as
the Seaton Hall and various parking signs mentioned.
The article did not mention the attempted theft of the
bike racks in front of Piper Hall to add to the blaze
several bikes were still attached to the racks. Nor did the
article mention the attempt (half-hearted though it was)
to throw a Pacer onto the bonfire---when that attempt fail
ed, several flammable materials were stuffed into the gas
tank.
The article did not mention that the piano burned be
longed to the Kappa Sigma fraternity, who did not donate
the piano it was stolen.
The article did not mention those wholesome sorority
girls who stopped cars at the lights on 16th and doused
them with water and shaving cream -while preventing the
cars from moving by standing in front of and behind the
cars.
The article did not mention the several fire alarms
pulled by the childish rampage- although it turned out
later that those alarms were needed.
Instead, the reader was treated to eight paragraphs on
Mike Phillips and his bravado.

Editor: s note: The information in the story concerning
destruction of property was obtained from the police
department. The officer on duty Friday morning did not
mention destruction of trees, landscaping, the attempted
destruction of a car, nor did he know if the piano was
stolen. The reporter interviewed the police and a student
charged concerning the incident, to get both sides of the
story.
