3 MSU students charged in burning of newspapers

There are better ways to keep your name out of the papers

Three Morehead State University students have been charged with allegedly burning about 7,000 copies of the student newspaper to halt the appearance of an article about an alleged sexual assault, according to trailblazeronline.net, the student paper's Web site, and a university news release.

University police brought charges of third degree criminal mischief against: Danielle Brown, 22; Andrea Sharp, 22; and Jennie Williams, 20, all of Morehead.

The Trail Blazer reported that university police were investigating a report of criminal mischief at the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house after the copies of The Trail Blazer were reported as stolen.

We don't mean to sound insensitive, but why is it that three women were burning papers at the Sig Ep house? The symbolism eludes.
