CAMPUS SHUT DOWN OVER MAN WITH A GLUE GUN

Colgate University in upstate New York went on lockdown for four hours Monday night while police investigated reports of a gunman. But the “threat” turned out to be a student with a glue gun for an art project. And an African-American student at that. The campus lockdown occurred after reports that someone had “entered the O’Connor Campus Center while carrying what witnesses believed was a weapon.” Some Colgate students expressed concerns about suspected overreactions to the incident, particularly since the guy with the glue gun was, you know, African-American.
* Colgate University – a brush with danger.
* Cops: “Don’t let him get near an electrical outlet!”
* “Look out – he’s got an extension cord! Oooo – he découpaged me!”
* Here’s my question: what is a college-level art student doing with a glue gun? Is he making a shoebox diorama? A tissue paper collage?
* Sure, they overreacted, but these days who can blame them?
* Didn’t we just have a story with Cornell in it? I guess we’re going through the alphabet.
* Just change this from an art project to a performance theater piece and move on.
