University hazing sex-pic sparks witch hunt

BANGKOK: -- The Education Ministry has ordered an investigation into the source of photographs of students performing simulated oral sex at a university hazing.

Thosaporn Serirak, adviser to the education minister, yesterday showed the photos to the press.

The pictures, posted on the pantip.com website, showed female students performing simulated oral sex on male students. The performance was witnessed by about 30 female and male students who cheered as they watched the show.

The ministry will track down those students, he said. Once the university is identified, the ministry will ask the students involved to show responsibility for this inappropriate act, said Mr Thosaporn.

He said the ministry will consult the Higher Education Commission about possible punitive measures against those involved.

He urged parents of students or those who had information about the pictures, particularly those who took part in the show, to immediately contact the ministry via its website: www.moe.go.th or telephone number 1579.

The ministry has also asked the Higher Education Commission to investigate.

The commission's call for a halt to this year's initiation rituals following last week's suicide of a freshmen received mixed reactions from administrators at various universities.

Kasetsart University rector Viroj Impitak said he has already signed an order to halt this year's initiation activities for all faculties despite strong opposition from the university students' organisation.

However, traditional activities organised by the university such as the wai kru (paying respect to teachers) ceremony and activities related to university development would continue, he added.

Thawee Chim-oy, deputy rector of Thammasat University's student affairs section, said the university would today hold a meeting with student panels from all faculties to work out suitable measures on hazing.

The university will not force students to halt all initiation activities since hazing rituals had merits, he said. The rituals helped foster unity among students.

He said the university had made it clear to senior students that no violence was allowed in the rituals and activities must not violate the rights of freshmen

Mr Thawee said the ''shouting'' practice in which senior students shouted at fresh-men during the initiation rituals was not permitted.

The university has also banned off-campus initiation activities.

Adul Viriyavejkul of Mahasarakham University said activities for freshmen would proceed as planned.

He disagreed with the commission's call for a halt to this year's initiation rituals, saying all activities, if halted, would make universities joyless and lifeless.

He criticised the commission for turning a trivial thing into a big issue.

Education Minister Adisai Bodharamik said he disagreed with nonconstructive rituals. All universities have been asked to put a stop to initiation parties for the new semester.

New rules and clear guidelines on hazing would be written to make rituals more constructive, he said.

Meanwhile, representatives of student organisations from 14 institutes resolved that the ministry's call for a halt to this year's initiation rituals was not a ban. The students' organisations will consult university administrators about initiation activities.

Its a wonder they don't censor all that simulated (gay?) sex orgy ( AKA dry humping ), nationally televised, that happens on the soccer field whenever a goal is scored.

...well, we wouldn't want anybody to see them (especially the international press, who as we know, never read Thai newspapers or read Thaivisa).

Smart move, Serirak, you deserve a special prize for making a trivial matter into a potential world wide story, which will yet again ridicule the reputation of LOS.

It'll be them nightclubs encouraging this kind of behaviour. Best close them down at 8pm.

Apart from the ones where politians go to get blown off, that is.

[Thetyim]

Jai Dee,

I have just noticed your signature under the photograph.

It's also the Internet's fault... Best to block ALL internet sites coming into or originating in Thailand... that'll fix the problem.

I can't believe the Bangkokpost have published the pic today,thats the most suggestive ever for the post.In another article they show an Indian girl covered in mud,does the editor have a fetish I wonder.

[PETERTHEEATER]

How wrong you sick minded people are!.

The students depicted are all majoring in Fashion Design & Tailoring. One of the course requirements is in-situ repairs of trouser zips. The girls have finished the repairs and are just biting off the cotton.

Thank you, Peter.

I have been troubled by this piccy for a long time but you have explained it now.

Well, I for one had to look it up:

The New York State Penal Law defines hazing as follows: "A person is guilty of hazing in the first degree when, in the course of another person's initiation into or affiliation with any organization, s/he intentionally or recklessly engages in conduct which creates a substantial risk of physical injury to such other person or third person and thereby causes such injury." (N.Y. Penal Law, §120.16)

A conviction of this offense carries a potential penalty of a fine of up to $1,000, one year in jail, or both. Hazing in the first degree is a Class A misdemeanor.

Hazing in the second degree (a violation) incorporates a nearly identical definition except that no actual injury to any person needs to be proven (N.Y. Penal Law, §120.17).

Alfred University defines hazing as "any activity expected of someone who is initiating into or affiliated with a group, that humiliates, degrades, abuses, or endangers, regardless of the person's willingness to participate. Furthermore, this definition includes any action which results in the disruption of the educational process, the impairment of academic performance, or failure to properly fulfill obligations to University sponsored groups or organizations." Examples of hazing include, but are not limited to the following: depriving a person of sufficient sleep, paddling or beating a person, requiring or encouraging a person to consume alcohol, drugs or foreign or unusual substances, kidnapping or confining a person, subjecting a person to cruel and unusual psychological conditions.

I must say I do not seem to see much distressed/panicky faces among the onlooking girls

Rather more a lot of smiles and encouraging expressions

Guess this might give a bit more popularity to the RCA area

[Camelot]

Rangsit University (prop. Dr Arthit Ourairat, he with the famous daughter) hits the headlines again.

They are in the middle of a public relations campaign to improve the university's image. This probably wasn't quite what the PR staff had in mind.

[buadhai]

The fact is that it is not "simulated oral sex", but a silly game in which the woman attempts to use her nose to roll an egg up one pants leg of the guy and down the other.

But, wait, maybe that is oral sex after all. Have to give it a try.
