Personally I disagree on how the article was written. There was too much information if you know what I mean! Plus, some of the quotes could have been left out, particularly the "distance" issue. Nobody cares if the guy hit the screen or not. The only thing worth writing about would be the fact that somebody did that in a public place...

Other than a witness that only saw this man in the room, there is absolutely no evidence to incriminate this man, other than a possible DNA match for the semen. I agree that you should have saved this man the possible negative publicity until there is at least some real evidence that this man had anything to do with the incident.

This is real news. Would everone else like to rather read about Britney Spears riding in a car with a child on her lap, or maybe about a bunch of old people mailing letters. Keep informing me of things going on my campus thank you.

To all of the babies complaining that this article is "unprofessional": Lighten the f up. This is a college newspaper. By my reckoning every third article should be about semen or at least semen related news. Or poop. I guarantee this piece gets the Collegian more visibility than some fluff about Coretta Scott King. Everyone has that story as opposed to this wondrous yarn. Face it - ejaculate makes people smile and dead civil rights leaders most certainly do not.

Trying to shock your readers? C'mon, there was no need for the sensationalism in this article. Very unprofessional. Yuck.

semen is DNA. why don't they just test it? duh.

Ian

I would have waited to publish the story until the "witness" was verified, seeing as he didn't actually "witness" anything, or the sample was analyzed. If I had to run it as-is, I would have omitted the name of the alleged perp, based solely on the lack of certainty and the circumstances.

Where are your journalistic ethos? Putting this guy's name all over the article when it's unclear that he is responsible for what happened is truly a trashy move. The article in general was written amateurishly, for shock value rather than news value.

Kenneth

Outstanding! I don't care what anyone else says about ethos or integrity. Old men getting caught masterbating in the library is funny, and old men getting caught masterbating onto a computer screen is even funnier. But what's really great are the old men that are quoted in the paper saying, "At 48, I don't have the distance." That makes my side ache. He actually used the issue of ejaculatory power and distance as a defense. Priceless.

Please keep us posted with fresh updates, especially if a DNA analysis is undertaken.

I agree lighten up its a college newspaper, this is what they publish. Its better than some of the crap I see in the Washington Post, New York Times, or Wall Street Journal. Oh yeah YOUVE BEEN FARKED!!!

i have the distance at age 50. i shoot across my 36" desk onto the wall regularly. with a good attorney, he can beat the charge, but he better clam up!

While I admire the student's diligence in accumulating data for the story, the editor does leave the paper open to a lawsuit. This has been posted across the Internet now and people outside the university community are reading the headline, asserting that the individual named was the one that ejaculated. It is also poor journalistic ethics on the part of the editor and faculty advisory (if any) to allow the suspect's name to be published before conclusive evidence has been made, even if he has been charged. This would be a great discussion topic for a journalism class. Good news-gathering. Poor editorial decisions.

How, unbecoming of this newspaper. Surprised that you didn't use a headline like, "He Came, He Conquered and He Checked Out!"
I hope he insists on a DNA sample and comparison, if found innocent, he should own the library, the school, the state and fire everybody associated with this tory.
For him to be innocent and endure this kind of smear campaign ( no pun intended )
is just insane.

I'll bet the guy asked to have his name printed - they obviously interviewed him! I'll bet my paycheck he's innocent, he knows it, and he knows he's also going to have one heck of a claim against the school and the police once it's proven it wasn't him. This was a perfect collegiate article. Thanks for the laugh, it made my day!

I have a question on this man who Ejaculated in the Library: Was this a public library or was it a private library. I think it should not be judged that you ejaculate in a public library. If he ejaculatd in a public library, it shouldn't be a big deal. Who care's if that's your religion, culture, or practice? I mean, my point is...Where did the freedom of expresssion go?

This is great! This is the best thing that's happened to CSU since they burned down Old Main.

This is real life folks. This isn't "use a condom 100%of the time" life, or "always wear your seatbelt" life, or "old people don't have sex" life. This is horny old man, in-your-face, I-need-to-get-my-nut-off-and-I'm-too-old-to-pick-up-a-chick LIFE! Way to keep it real college journalists.

And I saw the word allegedly at the very beginning of the article, so relax, no one is getting sued.

If you don't want ejaculate on your library computer screens, the government needs to start providing hookers as part of a sexual-welfare program.

J.T. Kiddo

Eewwww... It would be funny if it wasn't so sick. I've had guys (never chicks though, damn) spank the monkey right next to me at Morgan. Told the lab monitor, but she couldn't actually do anything unless the perp was caught in flagrante delicto. BTW: I'm 47, and on a good night I could spackle the screen and wall behind it, so it is NOT ludicrous... It's related to arousal, not age!

I just hope CSU donated the chair, keyboard, and computer screen to an inner-city high school or something, and it is not still in our library. His comments about ejaculatory capacity at his age make me believe he has been involved in some odd competition or personal training program to learn his limitations. Why would you print his name in the paper before the sample is analyzed?

Sam Guy

What a minute....
3 days later, the semen was STILL on the computer? What the hell were they saving it for?
