I recall swinging by his room a few days after home coming. It was filled with empty beer cans and some sort of sweet smoky smell. His eyes were bloodshot, he needed a shave and his breath was atrocious. He was sitting on his bed, watching KungFu theater on his TV, weeping. Now I would weep from time to time watching those badly dubbed shows myself and thought perhaps I, a True Christian Frat Brother™, could cheer him up. After a bit, I got him to open up. Apparently, he had 'relations' with a few sorority girls the night of the party in a drunken stupor. I had read in the paper earlier that morning about a couple of girls who claimed they were raped at the party. Their ID of the assailant vaguely sounded like my friend though it could of described 1,000 other of the 10,000+ fine fellows at school. Well, without any concrete proof (apparently the attacker wore a condom and took it with him) of guilt, my friend was terrified at what would happen. Was this going to mean a life time of taunts and shame? Was his educational opportunity ruined? Let me tell you, the weight of the world was on the poor lads shoulders. The idea that he was going to have to pay 50 shekels to each girls father and marry all of the girls (none of them, according to him, were 'that good'). Well, this fellow ended up leaving school in disgrace and moved to Utah with his six wives. I visited him last spring.... very sad.

Really a heartbreaking story.
But what a coincidence! All six were gipsies!
