I don't mean to make light of it, but WTF?http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/nationnow/2011/12/four-florida-am-students-dismissed-in-fallout-from-hazing-death.html
Amid fallout from the suspected hazing-related death of a band member last month, Florida A&M University officials announced Thursday that they have expelled four students allegedly involved in the incident.
Robert Champion, 26, a drum major in the school band, was found unresponsive after a Nov. 19 football game. He was in a bus parked outside an Orlando hotel.
Authorities have said that hazing played role but have not released details as they continue to investigate.
University President James Ammons mentioned the dismissals in a memo Tuesday to the Board of Trustees but did not specify what the four students had done, the Associated Press reported.
In the 911 recording obtained by the Associated Press, an unidentified caller told the emergency dispatcher that Champion had stopped breathing and was unresponsive. Champion had just thrown up, the caller said before handing the phone to a second man.
"We need an ambulance ASAP," the first caller said. "His eyes are open but he's not responding."
The dispatcher told the second man to place Champion on his back and clean any vomit from his nose and mouth.
"He is cold," the second caller said.

I'm kind of surprised but I guess I shouldn't be.
I would not try to haze the kid in the OP ever.

The odd part of the story is that the guy was 26 and a drum major. He should have been the one doing the hazing. Band nerds are weird.

Yeah, I can't imagine being that guy and saying oh, okay, when some pasty kid told me it's time to play the sodomy game.
