Balls State

A serial bike-mounted butt-slapper has been terrorizing Ball State's campus. Dangerous sexual predator, or harmless fun? The student body is torn.

On Wednesday morning, three separate women had their behinds smacked my a mysterious figure, described only as a white male on a 1950s-style bike, who pedaled off before he could be apprehended.

That would have been the end of it, except campus police sent out a safety notice to all students and staff. I don't want to make light of the women's undoubtedly scary incidents, but try to imagine how the average college student would react if they got a text from campus security to be on the lookout for a cyclist slapping women's butts.
