Tower of Babble

The incident at the cannon last week was terrible, to be sure. Anytime someone has his nose broken in a fight, especially when it's with a weapon, there is cause for concern. What few of the people reacting to this and other incidences of violence realize, however, is that this kind of thing happens all the time. This is just the tip of the iceberg. The problem is widespread, endemic, and certainly not exclusive to the fraternities. It is, however, in everyone's best interest that nobody knows just how many fights occur on this campus, and so a combination of the press, police, and administration work together to keep these things under wraps.
