Evidently one of the students from the European Business School, an elite college in the Rheingau, which hit the tabloid headlines the other day with lurid reports of an initiation ceremony gone wrong.
All sounded like pretty innocuous team-building stuff run by current students for the newbies – human pyramid, egg and spoon race, sack race.
Except that the losers had pay penance in the form of alcohol consumption resulting in drunken students lurching through folks’ back yards and comatosing themselves in the vineyards.
Police chopper called out – again… – and by the time things died down and everyone was accounted for, 10 of them ended up in hospital to sober up.
This is, of course, on the other side of the river.
These things don’t happen in Mainz. (Ahem…..)

>Sometimes people are lucky they make it to full adulthood (whatever phase that might be!). Glad the kids' initiation has been exposed before someone dies. An apt symbol for the event!
