Who steals a shoe? Honestly!

It's "Rogers", Mystal, not "Rodgers." Read the excerpts and you'll see.

Mr. Rogers' shoes are unique. This has UCC implications, not just criminal implications.

Might want to ask Random Task. I've heard he's constantly losing his shoes.

I am now making it my personal mission in life to hunt down nervous T-10 guy and stomp his face on the curb American History X stylie. Give it up. You suck. We all know you are a GULC.

First of all, I was at the Aquarium for the Barrister's Ball. Yes, there may have been some excessive fraternization near jellyfish tanks. As Otter said in 'Animal House,' "The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our female party guests - we did."

As for the urination allegations, well. The Aquarium is only a short walk from Bourbon Street. These things happen.

But there was, categorically, no "number 2"-ing in the corners. Tulane Law students have their limits.

I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop on this one. Boooyah!

Gentlemen at my legal preparatory academy used to misappropriate the footwear of certain beloved, but regrettably deceased, television personalities, with what can only be described as a rather abhorrent frequency. Although the aforementioned footwear was "unique" for purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code, inasmuch as it was not suspectible to cover given the association between the footwear and a particular deceased celebrity, the underlying thievery was not considered to be of material significance, except for purposes of bar examination character and fitness examinations.

Was also at the Aquarium, one couple had sex in the jellyfish area and one drunk peed on a floor drain.

This isn't standard?

At least they're handling this the right way. When I was at UVA, someone stole the best painting in the law school (the Dean's favorite), a 6'x6' painting nicknamed "The Hounds". It had to have been a prank, as it was the only thing taken.

Trouble was, the administration was livid, and immediately got police involved and threatened prosecution and expulsion . Since no one could return it, without fear of being kicked out of school (UVA's single sanction) and not being able to transfer (Dean's letters for law school transfer require explanations) and never being able to practice (a felony 1 or 2 years before the Bar), it was never returned. It probably was burned. I loved that painting, and I thought they should have at least had a no-questions-asked return policy for a few days.

Seriously...a law student stealing a museum piece??? No security cameras??? Thats pretty pathetic.

If the decorations chosen by Wexler at Brooklyn Law were burned most of the faculty and staff would rejoice. Someone really likes green...not just the green she steals from students but the puke colored new ground floor annex. Every time I get solicited for a donation, about once a week, I think of that and reaffirm my policy of never giving that dump a cent...at least until she is gone. At least thats what I think of after the crappy teachers (2 of my 1L profs were GONE the next year) career center (not forwarding resumes, misleading career info) and so on.

Something like this happens at Tulane's Barristers Ball every year. We always get banned from returning to a venue for a second year.

can anyone tell me if Tulane Law students have their limits?

Iraq's National Museum also banned Tulane from having their Barristers Ball there after an unfortunate incident that occurred in 2003.

How can you have a "no questions asked" policy? If any member of the school's administration is a member of a bar, they have an ETHICAL duty to report the student(s) who committed this CRIME.

The gift shop story about the Aquarium is largely bullsh*t. There may have been a small amount of sexual activity, but that's it. Did you ever hear of about charges being filed or a police investigation? Do you think being banned would be enough to satisfy charges of theft or burglary?

Come on. I know you're still in law school, but I hope you're not that f*cking stupid...

Yes, this is a self-professed tabloid, but you should at least ATTEMPT to confirm your stories before printing them and libeling the school. Ever hear of reckless disregard? You might soon become more familiar with it than you would like...

Are you kidding me!? NOPD only does kill-shots, at least when they're off-ing one of their own.

NOPD = kill first and steal shoes.

the only reason we weren't 86'ed from the venue last year is because it was at the WWII musuem and we couldn't physically steal a tank or plane. and even so, two people got kicked out for *alleged* bathroom sex.

so, no. tulane law students have no limits. now going back to drunk sub and citing.

Let's get real. The Aquarium was bad, but not all it's being made out to be. The shoe scandal - well, it's never good to steal from children's exhibits.

Is everyone forgetting last year?

I guess we rather rhyme about an Elie Lat salad toss than discuss big law job loss.

Wow. I have come to realize that I'm such an annoying prick that I'll never get a job anyway, even after attending a T-10 school. Apparently I miscalculated my decision to go to law school in the first place, as nobody told me there was a quota on douches that has already been met.

As a Tulane Law grad, I can say it makes me proud that the student body are maintaining our traditions of petty larceny and general lawlessness. I can also say that ANYONE who reports themselves or anyone else to Dean Netherton is basically throwing themselves into the shark tank...

Speaking of which, I think it's time for the world to start looking at Barrister's Ball events in the right light. At the Aquarium: No one got thrown into the shark tank, right? No one died? Success! Resounding success! And as for the Children's Museum: they should be frankly grateful that the students didn't burn the place down and dance in the ashes.

The solution to these problems is to LOWER the bar commensurate with our experience of the debauched and debased condition of Tulane Law Students. A condition greatly contributed to by their shining administration.

This was to be expected after the "throw up on a Rodan" incident and the "hookup on a tank" incident.

N.O.P.D. = Not Our Problem Dude

no way they are tracking that shoe down.

There goes Tulane's plan to expand into a Four Lane law school . . . .

72 - "drunk sub and cite?" - Hope you're not on Law Review. Although, that would explain a lot about the Palmer fiasco.

If I did it (to quote a book), their "no questions" policy isn't very confidence inspiring. Why would I take the risk of figuring out how to return the shoe to the dean's office without being seen and potentially turned in anyway.

And 60, very good point. Even if they wish to honor their no questions policy, if they somehow learn of the person's identity while he tries to return it, they have a positive obligation...someone didn't think this through very well. Instead, they should suggest that the person drop it in the library's book return box, assuming there are no cameras pointed at it.

Thank you Nervous T-10 1L - I hope your career as a fluffer goes better than your aborted legal education.

hehe, aborted, just like Nervous T-10 1L should have been.

A "no questions asked" policy is certainly the way to go here.

Hell, go get the other shoe, and buy yourself a sweater. Then open up a Peanuts-style counseling booth charging a nickel a visit. You can offer to console the Tulane administration about the loss of its students' morals. Maybe you could talk King Friday into teaching property for your 1Ls; I hear he had a rough time with Mr. Rogers asserting imminent domain.

Do you really need both shoes in the exhibit? Does seeing them together really heighten the experience?

"Oh wow! Look! It's one of Mr. Roger's shoes!...I wonder what the other one looks like. Too bad we'll never know."

I think the letter has some promise. Tulane Law should use parts of it as an acceptance letter. For instance, "I hope it is obvious that attending Tulane Law would have the most serious negative implications for your future career as a lawyer."

funny that he felt he had to come up with supporting evidence for the proposition that theft is bad.

"It appears that one of the students of this Law School committed theft, a serious crime. It is also a violation of the Tulane University Code of Student Conduct."

Is is what happens at schools not accredited by the ABA.

i dont know if the stealing from the gift shop is true or not, but I have heard about it!

yeah 110 ... "is is".... I does speak da hippity hop too.

Hmmm except TLS is accredited. Nice try.

What is, 110? Are you referring to the article? Or are you referring to your post in particular?

110 clearly wishes (s)he was smart enough to get into TLS.

I wish I was smart enough to get into TTTLS. Now I'm stuck with this crappy T14 degree and no jellyfish sex.

101 says: "The facts need to be accurate: there was no sex near the jellyfish, there was sex WITH the jellyfish. Don't judge though until you've actually tried it. It's pretty great."

Question: were they KY jellyfish?

"Question: were they KY jellyfish?"

This debacle is precisely why I previously asked (37) who among us will step up and defend the jellyfish?

I think 110 is from Texas and is clearly irked that he was not invited to the great jellyfish orgy.

Did Dom go to Tulane or what? Vinny and the boys would be pissed.

It's hard to return something you don't remember stealing. That shoe has just joined myriad other items perpetrated by members of the Tulane University crowd in the black hole of never be seen again. Start grieving now...

"It's hard to return something you don't remember stealing."

Couldn't have been that drunk as they recall sexing the jellyfish.

"It's hard to return something you don't remember stealing."

Couldn't have been that drunk as they recall violating the jellyfish.

Nobody at my T-57 school would do something like this.

"It's hard to return something you don't remember stealing."

Couldn't have been that drunk as they recall violating the jellyfish. Regardless, I'm grieving.

I want to get back to the "value" subscribed to one of Mr. Rogers' shoes. How much does Griffin actually think this shoe is worth? Griffin's email reaks of a man of pented up frustration. I bet he has the shoe locked up in his Garden District House and every night he throws it down a well with the basket and the lotion.

Guys at my high school used to sex jellyfish all the time. It was no big deal.

I was at the aquarium too, and it just wasn't that bad. We were however, banned from the art museum where we had the barrister's ball 2 yrs before the acquariaum. And it was pretty bad there.

I think it is a pretty sorry thing that someone committed theft by stealing a shoe. How stupid.

2002 Tulane Law Grad

All you'd have to do is send two (or more, if you are paranoid) couriers / homeless guys / undergrad students to the Dean's office at the same time, all with a few identical cardboard boxes each. In one, the missing shoe. In the others, just enough weight to make it feel like the right box. No one knows which box came from where, problem solved, shoe returned.

For added hilarity, just have them toss the boxes into the office at the same time yelling something like "Nothing to see here, move along people."

Oh 133, let's do a little digging into your personal history, shall we?

To the person whose perfidy plunged us into pariah status:

Shame! What would Mr. Rogers say?

You had the audacity to steal a cultural artifact from a major institution, risk permanent degradation of the object, and plunge the law school into possible criminal and civil liability.

Really? You either assisted or watched as someone broke the case in which the shoe rested, unbolted it from the display. Then you made off with it. And by the way, you had other people who were aware of your perfidy and couldn't convince you to elevate past middle school mentality.

I have hope that with the clear light of day and possible legal charges abrew, I may offer advice for anyone involved who can help return the shoe before the grace period ends...

First, get some help with that shoe fetish. I'm sure we can find you some old used up kicks from the lost and found.

Second, If you're crass enough to steal from a museum (or kids) then be bold and return it.

Thank you in advance.

Barrister's Ball sounds pretty lonely. But then again I would rather deal with one lawyer than many.

Administration stole it, which means endowment per student just increased.

Look for Tulane to jump next year over GULC.

Ha...using the word 'perfidy' (twice, no less). I'm sure you are a sharp guy and all, given your *super* astute analysis of the situation, but if you are going to try and bust out some vocab bling, though, use less douchey terms.

Thank you in advance.

Why do they just assume that one of their students stole the shoe? Maybe one of the janitors at the museum had been eying that shoe all along. Maybe the janitor stole the shoe on the night of the ball, knowing that people would expect those wiley law students to have stolen it. Instead of pointing fingers at their own students, all of whom know that they must refrain from committing any crimes, especially those of moral terpitude, the administration should circle the wagons, and perhaps direct attention to the janitors, who probably have not even had to pass a background check.

Also, I find it ironic that the Vice Dean of Academic Affairs, in an effort to sound smart, misused the reflexive "myself," when what she really should have used was the simple "me".

Why do people say TTT when discussing anything outside of the T14?

Second, yes, Tulane students have been known to 'fraternize' in dark (or not so dark) corners of most locations where there is dancing, a drink, or a beer pong table.

Third, is Tulane going to have it's Barrister's Ball from now on? By most counts we have been banned (twice now - once before Katrina and once after) by the Aquarium, the WWII museum for some very rude student behavior and *ahem* other deviant action in a bathroom stall, and now presumably the Children's Museum for stealing a Ked shoes.

I'm so glad I have graduated . . . no one in my class would have ever stolen Mr. Roger's shoes ... maybe they would have fed fish some not so cool fish food but we left childhood icons alone (for the most part).

I never heard the defecate story until today. to the best of my knowledge, it was just SEX

what next? Tulane Law students getting blamed for the Cookie Monster's crimes??????

Now that the shoe issue has been resolved can we discuss the merits of Barrister's Ball v. Barristers' Ball.

yeah, or maybe a janitor stole it. or maybe one of the third party caterers or bartenders there to work the ball. just sayin'.

We all know that Elie ate the show. Looks like someone will have to look in his corner for what's left of it.

"By the way, emails I send to the student body are for the Law School only and I would appreciate it if you would ask my permission before posting them to a blog or anywhere else on the Internet."

O RLY? Good luck with that, guy.

Yeah, seriously. Which of the amendments is the first one again? Freedom of speech?

I like that he said "The shoe has been returned to the children's museum". I wonder if that means a student returned it? Or maybe it really was the Janitor?

First of all, I was at the Aquarium for the Barrister's Ball. Yes, there may have been some excessive fraternization near jellyfish tanks. As Otter said in 'Animal House,' "The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our female party guests - we did."

As for the urination allegations, well. The Aquarium is only a short walk from Bourbon Street. These things happen.

But there was, categorically, no "number 2"-ing in the corners. Tulane Law students have their limits.

TTTulane

After our Barrister's Ball at a certain, let's call it top 40 school in 2007, the law students received a similar message (although it was live not email) regarding a stolen giraffe sculpture from the University-owned venue. SImilar threats, recriminations, etc.

Then it turned out it was another professional school group--med school or business school, I think--that had stolen the scupture. I don't remember the Dean apologizing to us over that. Of course the girl in the red dress caught giving a male student a BJ on the balcony--now THAT was a law student. The alleged cocaine in the ladies room, on the other hand, turned out to be talcom powder.

This shows why the bar has accredited too many law schools. These imbeciles shouldn't be able to even into a school much less become a part of the profession...

It was a shoe. It was an email published on a law blog. It was a crappier city before a storm. Its a decent law school. People can have fun and sometimes cross a line. Everyone has to get over themselves.

Never prouder to be a Tulane alum. Next thing to steal - Nathan Hale statue.

Krinsky should put this story in the recruiting brochure to ensure that Tulane continues to recruit party hard students. It puts new meaning in the slogan "something more."

Yes because the drunk actions of 1 person warrant the the decrediting of a Law School that is already ranked severely lower than it should be. The school is #1 in Maritime, has a strong Comparative and International Program, a top-notch sports law program, teaches civil law, and has a strong entertainment law school. Seriously if you went to law school its impressive that you could pass an exam with your logic skills.

*** has a strong environmental law program***

Now, THIS troll is FUNNY!!!

@180: Even behind anonymity, do you still get that "foot in your mouth" feeling when you totally miss a word in a sentence in which you called other people 'imbeciles'? I think I'd still be embarrassed. Good job.

Trashing grammar is for pussies and fags.

This post and thread was hilarious. Thanks, all, for the laughs.

My theory is that a female student stole it... Handbags are the perfect size for a shoe. She probably thought it would make a great gift for her little brother.

I'm more embarassed to share classroom space with #135 than with the ass-hat shoe-thief.
Though he's an idiot too.

Fuck you #162 -- when was the last time you seen a black person in Ked shoes.

I would say it was you who stole the shoe but i dont think your style is that decent.

Your more like the get dressed in the dark type who will be a virgin until he is partner at some firm.

Granted, Tulane may be a great law school (for the south) full of some smart students, but ya'll do some stupid ass shit. I mean, sex with jellyfish. This is supposed to be lawyer training people.

"I am pleased to announce that the shoe, presumably misappropriated by one of our Tulane Law students, has been returned to the proprietors of the Children's Museum. However, in light of the comments posted on a popular, albeit declining in quality, blog, the law school has decided to investigate the mysterious source of an ejaculate-like substance recovered from the tanks of jellyfish and sharks in the Acquarium of the America's."

Now it's time for somebody to spill the beans on who did it.

Gimme sum names babyyyyy

Wait: You're saying a lawyer (or a future lawyer) stole something???

Debauchery in law school???

No way. Not possible. Couldn't happen ...

Then again, maybe they're just practicing for their professional future.

Did anyone see Troy McClure there?

Erm, I believe the defecation incident was at the NO Museum of Art, no?

So glad to be a TLS alum - and seeing as most of the alums who've posted appear to be fellow members of the Class of '02, I'm even happier that our debauchery has finally been exceeded, although I suppose it is sad that we might lose our place in TLS history as the worst-behaved class ever.

As a 3L, I'm only sorry that I wasn't there.

All student activities off-campus have been suspended and there are emergency meetings of all student organizations this week.

I can only assume that a non-binding "stop stealing stuff" resolution will be passed by a close margin.

LOVED # 91....

Also loved 77....

Having gone to undergrad @ Tulane (many many moons ago), I knew I would never survive law school in New Orleans, too, but some things never change and apply equally to all Tulane students (with few unfortunate exceptions for the very rare d-bag): they know how to have a good time, will always be the life of any party, and have lived more in a NOLA weekend than any of you Ivy League, "T-10" d-bags did in your entire miserable college lives. You know who you are, you lame, cowering, gutless pieces of boring garbage, and you could never cut it at Tulane.

I went to a "T-10" law school, made partner in a prestigious firm, and live the (relative) life of Reilly in this miserable profession, and I look to hire TLS grads over the cretinous, self-absorbed, backstabbing, social climbing T-10 pukes I went to law school with every time. Fuck NYC: If you can make it NOLA, you can make it in BigLaw, and in style.

Roll Wave!

203, where do you work? I'm looking for a job...

A heel tries the sole of Mr. Rogers

Iconic shoe reappears after museum theft
Wednesday, October 22, 2008

The past few days weren't beautiful days in the neighborhood at the Louisiana Children's Museum.

Here's why: During a Tulane law school party Saturday night, someone stole one of the sneakers that Fred Rogers wore on his classic television show, "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood." The sneakers were a gift to the museum from the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh in 2007.

Museum personnel searched high and low, and Stephen Griffin, vice dean of academic affairs, sent out a stern note saying no questions would be asked if the culprit returned the size 9 1/2 blue sneaker by today

"I'm afraid I cannot overemphasize the gravity of this incident," he wrote. "It appears that one of the students of this Law School committed theft, a serious crime."

There things stood until late Tuesday afternoon, when Rogers' left shoe "was very secretively returned" because "we were given a tip," said Julia Bland, the museum's executive director.

The sneaker hadn't traveled very far, she said. Someone had tied it to a pipe beneath a sink in one of the women's restrooms at the museum.

"It's back with its mate," Bland said.

She is keeping the shoes in her office, because whoever swiped the sneaker during the Barrister's Ball smashed the Plexiglas display case.

Lauren Vergona, executive assistant to Dean Lawrence Ponoroff, declined to comment until the shoe's recovery had been confirmed.

Reuniting the shoes was "a big relief," Bland said.

why does every one hate on GULC?

I heard two of our female teachers got in a physical altercation a week ago resulting in one of them going "on leave"...between that and Mr. Rogers we need a PR overhaul...eek.

02 grad and proud of it! I have to say I am proud of every one of you knuckle-dragging Neanderthals. Keep the faith, live the dream and Roll Wave!!!

So much for no questions asked...the school police are investigating it at the request of the law school administration.

219 how do you know that?

Another email from the ever so honest Dean Griffin this morning...

"No questions asked until we find out who you are."

I have to admit I have always preferred the company of the Tulane and Wake associates here over the pompous, self-congratulatory, and (perhaps most important) wrong-headed "elite" school seniors.

Maybe the shoe is on the other foot.

Racists.

Tulane is not banned from the aquarium, btw.
