A Disturbing Precedent It appears that the Administration of Providence College has com­ mitted a very serious error in judgment and in so doing has set a very dangerous precedent. On September 13, 1987 at approximately 1:00 a.m., a Providence College freshman was seriously beaten up and left unconscious out­ side of the Silver Truck on Huxley Avenue. One thing about this in­ cident that is disturbing, and disheartening, is that the victim was beaten by a group of his fellow Providence College students. What is even more disturbing is that the Providence College Administra­ tion has chosen to ignore the incident and free those involved from any form of disciplinary action. At Providence College, the Committee on Discipline is responsible for handling alleged violations of college regulations as presented by the committee’s Administrative Officer. The Administration O f­ ficer is not a voting member o f the committee and his job is to com­ pile a case after a charge has been filed. A charge can be filed by the Director of Residence in dormitory related cases, and by the Assis­ tant Vice-President of Student Services in all other cases. Clearly, this was a very serious incident which violated school and civil regulations and should have been addressed by this committee. It was reported to The Cowl by the Vice President for Student Ser­ vices that this case was not brought before the committee because the families of those involved had agreed to settle it themselves. Regardless of whether or not those involved planned to settle things on their own, this case should have been dealt with. It is stated, explicitly in the Student Handbook that any action which is an alleged violation of a school regulation or a civil law either on-campus or off-campus is subject to action by The Providence College Committee on Discipline. The Committee on Discipline has, in a number of cases, rendered judgments in cases which took place off-campus or were violations of civil laws. Why is this case any different? Commentary... What an oversight like this produces is a dangerous precedent. Must a victim press a charge in order to bring an incident to the attention The Spirit of Providence College of the committee?

This past Father's Day, necktie retailers began a strange quest: the search for the ugliest tie. As a result over 10,000 ties from the U.S. and Canada were entered in the first na­ tionally held “ ugliest tie in America" contest. The winner, a wide, paisley Japanese silk tie, beat out 625 semifinalists for the title. Members of the National Association of Men’s Sportswear Buyers took four days to choose number one. The tie, which is covered with silk threads combed out to look like hair, is described as both ugly look­ ing and unpleasant feeling. Rev. James Konrad, the owner of the winning entry, wears the tie while preaching to children about the value of things even when they are not attractive at first glance. The Minister from Peru, Illinois ★ SCHOOL bought the tie for twenty-five cents.
