The University’s graduation period has become renowned for the ruckus students raise during the buscade that has become a part of the celebrations on the successful completion of their studies.

But for one professor who wrote to The Times things went a bit too far. He said engineering graduates “seemed to have gone off their rocker” and went one step too far when they broke into the faculty, urinated on the doors of a lecturer’s office and then wet the reception hall with “some liquid”.

“I could never imagine new graduates suffer from such temporary mental abnormalities and emotional instability as if they had suffered unduly through their education and, being freed of it, wanted to take their revenge,” Carmel Pulé said in a strongly worded letter.

Although the engineering professor said only a few were acting stupidly – “it is surprising that the others, including the ladies, were following the silly leaders like sheep” – he pointed out this was not the first time such an incident happened.

Last year, the students chose to thump a 24-foot experimental boat placed at the faculty’s reception centre cracking the structure, he said.

Noting his graduation was a more civilised event, Prof. Pulé accepted “times have changed and education seems to have taken a different meaning”.

He questioned whether he failed in his contributions to his students, pointing out the University was not simply about obtaining certificates but also graduating as ladies and gentlemen.

“I compel our students to celebrate but, please, take the breaking, destructive, offensive part out of your celebrations,” he appealed.

The student’s council, KSU, was not aware of the incident when contacted by The Times and said they were not in a position to answer any questions.
