The Maier Massacre: Randolph College Students Speak

The Maier Museum Massacre has made the pages of the Oct. 15 issue of Newsweek (already online here) and on Saturday received detailed coverage from NPR radio. The NPR reporter, Joel Rose from Philadelphia’s public radio station, WHYY, has been doing a fine job following this story (also here).
Particularly poignant was this quote from a Randolph College student, heard on NPR:
We weren’t given any warning to go say good-bye to them. I would have liked to go once more to seem them for a final time.
And Newsweek’s Eve Conant quoted another student’s reaction about the loss of the four paintings:
They seem to be treating the Maier like an ATM. Take out a painting and–bam–they’ve got cash.
No college controversy would be complete without a student demonstration: The Lynchburg, VA, News & Advance recently ran a photo of passionate protesters chanting, “Damn the Man, Save the Maier.” (The other hot-button issue on campus is the trustees’ decision to admit men for the first time this fall.)
