The St. Lawrence campus was "active" after the loss to Princeton a week+
ago - with a couple of related incidents involving hockey players.  Lots
of rumors have swirled on what actually took place, but it appears
definite that
   (a)  Soph Derek Ladoceur got into an altercation outside a local
        night spot.  Most versions report that he was fairly severly
        beaten by several other students.  There was some question as
        to whether he would play in last weekend's games at Harvard
        and Brown.  He did play.
   (b)  Junior Joel Prpic was suspended from school for a week.  Apparently
        this was due to actions while a group of hockey players were
        headed to a local frat to seek retribution.  He missed both
        games last weekend.  I haven't heard yet whether he will be
        back for this weekend's games, but I believe that the suspension
        was for just one week.
 
I have also heard that SLU Coach Joe Marsh met with some players in the
wee hours that morning, the Dean of Students met with the frat, and
SLU's senior captains (Murphy, Kungle, Dashney) helped to diffuse the
situation.  Not a very pretty incident from any account.
