A FLOGGING!

A UC Berkeley student from Singapore has wired his dorm room with a music and light show. An electrician could not find anything wrong with the wiring done by the student.

UC dorm police are upset and have called the young man in for a hearing. He might lose his dorm room as a result.

If he was in Singapore in 1994, the punishment might have been flogging. I am certain the UC has sometimes dreamed of being able to flog students, but luckily the US Supreme Court has deemed flogging to be unconstitutional as cruel and unusual punishment.

Since UC is only 30 miles from Silicon Valley, the student has already been offered a summer job.

If the kid has followed all of the UC rules, he should get to keep his room. Next time UC will have to get an electrical engineering professor to help write the dorm rules.

But this is the US. Unless it is against the rules, GO FOR IT!
