Not yet, I was defer the enrollment to Fall 2008 for some reason.

Winter 2008 was bad for me then I prefer Fall 2008.

As I recall, the motive was simply a robbery gone wrong committed by a foreign student.

Basically he was crazy. You don't kill TWO people (at separate times) by having a robbery go wrong. I remember VERY well when the murders happened and to be honest I was really scared. I didn't live on campus but I took some classes there in 2001 and there was kind of a weird feeling for me when I was there. Mesa was crazy, he said he saw hands wearing black gloves signing to him, telling him what to do. I am not sure if he was foreign, I think he was from Guam? And if I was scared without even living on campus, I can't even dream what it was like to be in the dorms back then.

There were some mistakes made in the investigations, too. The police thought they identified who did it, but they were wrong. I don't remember his name but he basically left Gallaudet forever, he had to go back home (Vermont?) and his life would never be the same. He was NOT guilty, it was really Joseph Mesa, but the police accused him and terrified him anyway.

I do think about the murders every month or so. Sometimes I wonder what happened to Mesa. I hope he is in a jail cell somewhere. I hope Eric Plunkett and Benjamin Varner's families have found some peace.

Sorry to ramble on like that...I just remember the feelings of that time very well and they were scary to me.

Actually, after he left Gallaudet... he went to NTID. He later left NTID and stayed in Rochester for a while. The last time I saw him was in 2003. The first time I saw him was when I went to his room in the dorms at RIT. He was roommates with a friend of mine.

As for the mistake, when the police questioned him and he admitted to pushing down the victim... the police took it as a confession and arrested him. That was a big mistake. Tsk tsk tsk...

When I am Gallaudetian;

-Can I install 5 door lock in my own room?

-Can I paint the walls?

-Can I put real guns in the room ... like put on wall as it is part of ART?

-Can I bring my own microwave in the room?

-Can I use you as my teddy bear every nights?

scottw · 03-28-2008, 11:38 PM

You can bring teddy bear is ok.

If you can use air-brush paint. Yes. But I not sure if Gallaudet permission or not?

But no bring for a real gun, knives, and etc. No!

install door for lock. I not sure about that yet. We find out. We will learn about it.

I doubt you can since the only people who have access to your dorm room would be yourself, your roommate (if you have one), your resident advisor, your RA's boss, and campus safety. The reason why the would have access to your room is in case of emergencies. If there's a fire alarm, the RAs have to ensure that all rooms are empty before evacuating the building. If you were to install your own lock, you would be putting yourself at risk by not allowing anyone (qualified individuals) else to enter your room. Besides, why would you want to install your own locks? Plus, the door is school property and you can't modify it.

Since the dorm rooms are school property, I doubt you will be able to paint your own room. If it was your own house, then you can do whatever you want since it's your property as long as it meets certain criteria.

Dude... remember VT? Seriously, no student should be permitted to have any weapon of any kind in their dorm room. If it is a non-working model that cannot work at all no matter what you do to it (barrel welded close, hammer removed, etc), then that's a tiny possibility that it might be permitted if checked through campus safety. But then again, why would you want to have something like that in your room? It would scare everyone else. It's a dorm room and you're not going to be there 24/7 during your entire stay at college. It would be best to keep the room simple.

That varies on the college. I know a lot of colleges don't permit it since it's an electronic cooking product and runs a risk of starting fires when not properly used. That's why a lot of campuses provide microwaves in designated areas of the dorm buildings.

Actually, my school let kids paint their dorm rooms. You just had to repaint it at the end of the school year.

webexplorer · 03-29-2008, 09:47 AM

I wonder - do they ever wash the walls every year? You know some dirty stuff that sit on the wall for years. Almost all janitors do not clean the doorknobs and walls. Think about it.

Do they allowed to smoke in their room if they have a roommate? I think that smoking is so disgusting.

scottw · 03-29-2008, 11:07 AM

No smoke allow in their drom room. You can use smoke only outside.
