Capping Week
Sir,—Why is it that university students are allowed to act much worse than our socalled teddy boys, and it is classed as high spirits, because it is Capping Week? It would be interesting to see what sentence a magistrate would give to 16 high school youths who, in the exuberance of spirits in having passed their yearly examinations, went to the girls’ hostel at the university # at 1.30 a.m. and pulled then* out of their beds. True, they collect for charity. So do many men and women who stand decorously at street corners, often in the freezing cold, and do not make fools or nuisances of themselves. In fact, we would not be allowed to submit the public to the indignities the students practise on decent citizens.—Yours, etc., MAY E. FUREY. May 9, 1961.
