I don't get it Illiini. What was the prank? Can't be they used the numbers to call to see if anyone was in so they'd know when to rob the place. I never stayed in a dorm in 1968 but I'd bet anything they didn't have phones in the rooms. Most likely one per floor or one in the lounge area.

Enlighten me/us. What are you saying exactly?

Ah, you got me. We had go to the dorm lobby and ring up Central.

Not taking summer course to stay ahead academically; not working out....ultimately, not coming back.

Is this unusual? Was bail set extremely high?

I think it was set at 150k and its hard for a college kid or a poor kid's family to come up with 15k. Or their parents are just pissed at them and saying you're gonna stay in there.

Even with bail bond. These kids aren't likely a flight risk. They're in deep enough as it is.

This is the move that had to be made.

These kids will probably get a second chance elsewhere. I hope they make the best of it.

Ideally they are miserable as he!! sitting in jail. The old Scared Straight treatment. Definitely not the way to start out at their ages. I hope all three of them are able to learn from this, get another opportunity somewhere, even if it's a JC thing, and become better men.
