Jack Power tweetz:

Trinity Knights of Campanile claiming the college investigation into alleged hazing has concluded and only found “an unauthorised party took place” in Arrowsmith’s apartment.

They actually wanted more punishment.

But alas.

    so their party had groans, people barking “get in the shower” “bend over” and “open your mouth”? eh, yea real cool party there, boys. While they’re looking for apologies, maybe arrowsmith could apologise to the university times editor for screaming “you stupid little b*tch” in her face? no? no word on that?

          They seem to be overly supportive of the knights beyond just healthy competition with the other news .org

      Given how sensitive Trinity is to its reputation (see yesterday’s story in the South China Morning Post and its discombobulation about accepting millions from Huawei), I wonder how hard they will have tried to uncover details of the alleged hazing.

      Strikes me as inherently dodgy and unfair for the college itself to investigate alleged hazing when, if they concluded there was hazing, the reputation of the college, its finances and prospects would be immeasureably damaged.

      Why wasn’t there an independent investigation? If the taxpayer is pouring €50 million a year into Trinity, an inhouse investigation isn’t good enough.

    As the name suggests, the Knights who say Ni are knights who say Ni and live in the forest. They say Ni to anyone they meet, and, comically, everyone is frightened of this.

    Those who hear them seldom live to tell the tale. They are led by a larger knight, who is rather taller than anyone else (approximately 12 feet tall). Otherwise, they are of normal height.

    They also have a strange fascination for shrubberies, as they demand them for passage. If not, they will say Ni several times. They enjoy giving impossible assignments, such as ‘cutting down the largest tree with a herring!’ However, they also have an unorthodox paranoia over the word ‘it’. They have also become devoted to the words ‘ecki ecki ecki ptang zoowop’. And their trusty steeds can always be counted on (since they’re imaginary and have ‘hoof’ sounds via coconut shell clapping) .

    And these ‘Knights’ will grow up and become….exactly what? The same as their daddies?
