On Hanging Flags Outside One’s Window

By Michael Schumacher

I had to write a 3-5 reflection paper because I had a flag hanging outside my window in Copley. They also gave me 10 hours of community service. They said that the flag was a "Fire Hazard." The reflection paper is as follows:

I have a grudging respect for those rules involving hanging Italian-Ferrari Flags on the outside of the fine Copley building of the University that I currently attend under the mighty rule of the Jesuits.

If men on stilts were walking near Copley with torches of fire, hanging such a flag would be a serious fire hazard.

God Bless and long live the Rules of Georgetown and the Dorm of Copley.
