With Project Wild orientation coming up, one can hope the largely student-run orientation program will take heed of 2010 abuses to have a safe, tremendous outdoor experience. The program itself has so much going for it. It would be a shame to have the majority lose a great experience because of the actions of a few reckless individuals.
Moderator: Again, where were the coaches and bus driver when the wrestlers masturbated on bus and attacked a teammate with bodily fluids? This is one of several repugnant incidents 2010-2011. Nonetheless, even when athletes get urinated on by their peers, parents and detractors say those upset are overreacting. See Michigan incident: Jefferson High School
See original law enforcement investigation that failed to bring charges, not even assault.
Here is the link and the explanation. My understanding is that the bill will be reconsidered in 2012.

THE FAMILY of University of Makati student EJ Karl Intia will request the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to conduct its own probe on the circumstances surrounding the victim’s death.
Intia allegedly died from injuries he suffered during initiation rites conducted by members of the Alpha Phi Omega (APO) fraternity last month.
“All I want is justice for my son,†said Oscar Intia, the victim’s father, adding that he is set to meet NBI Director Magtanggol Gatdula on Wednesday to seek his help in gathering evidence and in looking for 11 of 16 suspects who remain at large.
Makati Regional Trial Court Branch 57 Judge Honorio Guanlao recently ordered the release of APO members John Marin, Rico Mansalapus, Michael Pagulayan and Rosel Wenceslao who were detained earlier for lack of probable cause.
The four, along with another suspect who is a minor, earlier surrendered to police and reportedly admitted that they took part in the hazing.
