AND WHILE WE’RE ON THAT SUBJECT: The shock waves from this latest suicide controversy also hit a New Jersey college campus. Two days after Kulkusky’s death, a Seton Hall university faculty adviser banned heavy metal from WSOU-FM, the student-run college radio station. Citing Kulkusky’s death, adviser Michael Collazzo said, “I don’t think this music supports the proper image for a Catholic school radio station,” adding, “My ultimate nightmare is that someone would kill himself with a WSOU shirt on.”

The university newspaper, the Setonian, immediately blasted the ban, calling it an “utterly low and two-faced” action. The editorial went on to say: “If the format so blatantly went against Catholic teaching, then why was it allowed to exist for two years? . . . Do the students at this school have any rights? If not, please tell us now, so that we can move on to a bigger and better school where the students mean something.”
