CRIME
Public indecency case dropped
A possible criminal case of public pornography viewing and public masturbation that was reported to have taken place in a computer lab on the fourth floor of Watson Library is officially a non-issue for the KU Public Safety office.
"Unfortunately, the reported incident," which happened on Oct. 25, 2010, "did not meet the strict requirements of the statute on indecent exposure," said Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the Public Safety Office late last semester in a statement. In a recent e-mail interview, Bailey said, "this case was dropped long ago as the person's actions did not meet the criminal definition of the statute."
The Office of the Vice Provost for Student Success is now handling the case; any further information will be of private record.

Ginsberg said that the video had to be shot in Lawrence because of the symbolic nature of red and blue to the University of Kansas. Ginsberg said he liked working with McLoyd because the two had a good trust. He said that McLoyd knew a lot of people and a lot of good places to film, which really
heped Ginsberg.
"We talk a lot," Ginsberg said.
"He gives me his ideas, I give him my ideas and we have a good trust.
It's a good collaboration process."
McLoyd said Ginsberg talked with the University of Kansas to see if it would use the video, however, McLoyd mentions 'kush' and 'chronic' in the second verse. He said he needed to edit that verse and it should be approved.

members and that only former members had paddled each other.
None of the former executive board members said he was hurt or forced into paddling, the report said.
"In fact, many of them said they were very close friends and just having fun," the report said. "They talked about this activity was typical 'guy' behavior like hitting each other on the arm. They understand now that this activity
does not look good at all and they apologized for their actions."
During the meeting, council members reviewed recommended sanctions in the report, many of which are being implemented, council members said.
Among the sanctions listed are the removal of paddles from IFC office space and that paddles should not be purchased with IFC funds or used at IFC events.
Outgoing IFC president Jake
Droge, senior from Wichita, said that an anti-hazing consultant would also be hired and that the turnover ceremony would be different next year.
"I think they were thoughtful," said Aaron Dollinger, who serves on the University's hazing task force. "They've definitely given a lot of thought to what they've done."

"You can't fall asleep because it's so loud," Gao said of the Chinese celebrations.
Tang said she wanted to keep Chinese tradition alive while at the University and celebrating Chinese holidays is a great way to promote Chinese culture abroad.
