I haven't been to Gallaudet for a while. Some of my friends works at Gallaudet keeps me up to date about what goes on w/ the campus, so and on.

Like Shel said, Gallaudet changed it's name shortly after the murders. From what I know - according to my friends - they said that Gallaudet felt that it would be in the best interest of the University to change it's name and to start anew.

In my opinion, The university should not have changed it's name because it was named after 2 historical figures in the deaf community. On the other hand I do understand that Gallaudet wanted to do the best and to help the students/parents/staff/faculty and alumni to cope with the murder, rather than be reminded of what happened.

Ditto

I still think it is ridiculous to change those dorms' names but for the public relations' sakes they had to do it.

In speaking of pulled fire alarms, My freshman class was the worst one. There were 62 fire alarms in September only at Benson Hall and almost all the fire alarms were pulled by froshies. My good friend was one of them and he did not get caught at that time. A few months later, he did it again and finally got caught. He was expelled for two years and he did not bother to return there after the end of expulsion.

It would be nice if the Krug and Cogswell names could come back on campus somewhere else. EMG has two buildings named after him, maybe one could be Cogswell. And the Gate House could be Krug...especially since that gate isn't used any more anyway!

...murder or murders??

scottw · 04-28-2008, 04:35 AM

I not sure about that.

Etoile · 04-29-2008, 08:17 AM

There were two murders that year. One was named Eric Plunkett and the other was Benjamin Varner. Both were by the same person, Joseph Mesa. If you google any of their names you will find out more.

Don't worry about murder that year. That a long year ago. But will not happen again.

Etoile · 04-29-2008, 11:24 PM

Yes, this was in 2000-2001. It's a very long time ago. But you can't say it won't happen again...it happened at Virginia Tech, and at Northern Illinois University...nobody knows when somebody will go crazy and bring a gun to school.

BTW, Varner and Plunkett were killed by hand, not with a gun...but I think it is clear what I meant.

That's right... it could happen anywhere... not just colleges and high schools. It could happen at a local grocery store or a local gas station. Who knows?

That's why we should just accept the fact that anything could happen. If we sit around being paranoid that something will happen to us, then we will never be able to have fun or do anything we want to do.

I agree, we gonna have to stop for weapon into College and University right now. We want to protect our college and University.

Gallaudet University order Security police care of all 24 hours and 7 days.

That what we want to do.
