Police: Student willingly had his buttocks branded
BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. (AP) -- Breckenridge authorities said a Texas Christian University student who suffered burns when his peers branded his buttocks participated in the act willingly and no charges will be filed.
Authorities said Thursday they made the decision not to pursue charges after reviewing statements from Amon Carter IV and a dozen TCU students. The Summit Daily News reported that Carter had Greek symbols from his fraternity and a sorority branded on his buttocks Jan. 8 during a trip to Breckenridge and needed surgery after suffering second-and third-degree burns.
Investigators said what happened was not part of a fraternity initiation because Carter was already a group member.
Carter is the great-grandson of Amon G. Carter, Sr., who founded the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Explain that to the polar bears.
A cycle of global warming is probably happening...the fact is that it has been getting warmer ever since the end of the ice age. However, to blame man for the phenomenon and even scarier to think man can control or reverse the process is the height of egotism. We would be better off spending all that money some want us to spend on trying to stop it to instead try to figuring out how we are going to deal with it.
Once again...man is not responsible for the polar ice caps on Mars melting...or for the same reason earth getting warmer. The temperature of the sun goes through cycles like every thing else.
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.
