Riot a disgrace to all

Queen's students

riot that took place at Queen's University this past weekend

was, to say the least, shameful.

The incident The went beyond your typical out-of-hand party. Homecoming partiers rolled a car and threw beer bottles at police officers and firefighters; a black police officer was subjected to racial slurs.

their friends destroying other people's property and assaulting emer- workers for gency no reason.

Queen's has the privilege ofbeing one of the most prestigious universi- ties in Canada, as well has having a student ghetto that other school's stu-

dents are envious of. They should be thankful for these things, and seek to make the most of them, rather than destructive and immature The medium is not the doing message things like this.
