Not great news from Southern University tuba section

[David Richoux]

http://www.2theadvocate.com/news/69730582.html has more than this:

Former Southern tuba player Jeremiah Henderson, of Marshall, Texas, alleges he was repeatedly beaten and hazed last year by upperclassmen tuba players in an on-campus dormitory and in the band room, even at times when the band directors were present.

This lawsuit, filed late in the summer, comes in addition to the other litigation involving former French horn players being struck repeatedly with 2-by-4-inch boards during initiation last year in an off-campus East Baton Rouge Parish residence, according to arrest records.

All seven former band students arrested in the matter have pleaded no contest to criminal conspiracy to commit second-degree battery and misdemeanor hazing. They all received probation and community service, but not prison time.

If this story was from 25 years ago I wouldn't be surprised. Sad if they are still doing this.
