Fraternity Steals 10,000 Free Newspapers to Keep People From Reading Date-Rape Drug Story, UA Student Newspaper Alleges - Phoenix News - Valley Fever
What idiots.
Last month, about 10,000 copies of the University of Arizona's student newspaper were stolen from various newsstands across the university. They were found the next day, dumped in various locations on the outskirts of the campus.
You may be wondering "why the hell would anyone steal 10,000 free student newspapers?" If you ask the editorial staff at the Daily Wildcat, it was to keep people from reading about the latest fraternity date-rape story.
Tim McDonnell, News Editor for the Wildcat, claims that members of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity at U of A sent at least two "pledges" to steal as many papers as possible to keep people from reading an article in the paper's "Police Beat."
McDonnell says the reason the Wildcat was able to link the theft to the fraternity can be explained by watching the Coen Brothers classic film The Big Lebowski.
When a stash of the papers was found, McDonnell says the homework of PKP pledges Nick Kovalski and Alex Cornell were found too.
What idiots.
