BY LINDA BUMPASS The hazing incident that occurred on A&T's cam- pus is just one of the few that happens across the country each year. According to an article from the Greensboro News and Record many pledges subject themselves to abuse that is absurbed.

According to the article, in one event a pledgee was paralyzed after diving down a flight of stairs. In another, a pledgee was locked in the trunk of a car, and was told that he would only be released if he con- sumed a six pack of beer, a pint of bourbon and a V bottle of wine. The pledgee was released from the '«5|»WvaU$ trunk but not because he consumed the alcohol but mm because he had died.
