Title
STET Issue #13 April 1986 “Letter from the Workers” p. 2
Description
Describes how the Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity made a snow sculpture of a wizard in their yard for the Winter Carnival. This sculpture was reminiscent of the head of the Ku Klux Klan, known as the “Imperial Wizard.” Brothers also wore KKK paraphernalia and had a confederate flag hanging from their house at the time. Students angered by the sculpture spray painted graffiti on the sculpture which said “KKK racist.” However, It is rumored that Dave McLaughlin saw this graffiti, went home to grab an ax, and chipped it off himself.
