It was front page news in the Norman Transcript--for anyone who wants to research. Also...I went to school with one of the students that was arrested. Did not know him personally. An older OU student--oddly who was wheelchair-bound--was arrested as the "ring-leader" (Norman has always been a "ring" town) and he was salted away into Griffin Memorial State Hospital, and as far as I know--never heard from again. That it happened--it indisputable fact. Talk with Normaniacs who have been there a long time. It is no secret whatsoever. Around 1962 (?)--when it happened. They were all charged with stealing religious articles from St. John's Episcopal Church to use, ostensibly, in their nefarious deeds. You must have been a DEKE to have had that sort of initiation....

I'm not saying it didn't happen. As you know from our past discussions, I grew up in Norman and I'm a couple of years older than you. If it was in 1962 I was in high school. It obviously wasn't something that made a big impression on me at the time. And I also think many times those kind of stories get way overblown anyway.

Probably 1964...since that is right after Peter Lorre died...you would know some of those arrested...ask old friends about it...

I was still in high school in 64 and I sure don't remember anyone I knew getting arrested for something like that. Maybe I hung out in a different crowd than you did, jmark. LOL
