Bad Boyz! Whatcha gonna do?

Well, today the school notified Samuel Harrison Blair, in writing, that he is to meet with the director of Residence Life tomorrow. This meeting will take place at 11:00am. So if you could pray for Sam at that time, he would greatly appreciate it. For spending the night in the library, the school stated that we were in violation of rule 3.9 of the Franciscan University Handbook.The rule states: "Violation of federal, state, or local law on University premises..." Let me break this down like a fraction. By citing this rule, the school is implying that my friends and I broke into the library. This would be considered "breaking and entering" and thus a violation of state and local laws. However, we entered the library during normal hours of operation, by entering doors that were open to the entire student body. This is distinct from breaking into a locked building and thus, not a violation of any law.

One might argue that we must have been in violation of some school rule and I would agree. Rule 3.17 strictly prohibits "camping on University premises." By virtue of the fact the Sam, Dan, and I brought pillows, sleeping bags (and I brought my teddy bear), this act could be considered 'camping.' If we were hit with this rule in our meeting with Residence Life we would have no room to maneuver and would be forced to admit guilt. But fortunately 3.17 is not the rule in question.

By now you're probably thinking: In talking with you, I've heard many incidences of rule breaking throughout this school year. How many other rules have you and your friends broken?

Here's a little list of other rules we may have viloated during the course of the 2004-2005 school year: 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.8, 3.9 (as alleged by the school), 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, 3.17, 3.21, 3.22.

Well, take care and keep stickin' it to the man!
