Intoxicating mushrooms send two students to hospital

Apparently a very bad trip landed two Mitchell College students in the hospital.

State police say the students at the New London college had taken intoxicating mushrooms before their trouble started.

According to other students at Mitchell college and police these two students were apparently on something and their high reached some real lows as the night went on.

"Your suite isn't ready yet but somebody was waiting for you..."

This scene from the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas may be like the mind altering trip two Mitchell College students wanted but what they got was a lot more dangerous.

Christine Tirado, freshman, says,"About two or three cop cars and they were just asking students questions."

Christine Tirado lives in the dorm where police say one of the students assaulted a campus safety officer.

David Heald, sophomore, says,"I guess it was like mayhem here last night. He was kicking, hitting everyone. It was kind of scary."

State police say the student had taken some sort of intoxicating mushrooms. New London police say there is no evidence of exactly what he was on.

Eric Fass, freshman, says,"He was thinking that everyone was his girlfriend. That's how bad it was and he was going around just trying to take off everyone's clothes."

State police say that student later suffered cardiac arrest and was transported to the hospital. The second student apparently wandered away from his dorm and into these nearby woods.

Police says there are between five and six acres of woods behind Mitchell College and it took a state police blood hound to track that student down.

He was also brought to the hospital. The school released this statement saying Mitchell College will not discuss pending investigations, and certainly will not discuss medical issues regarding our students for privacy reasons.

David Heald, sophomore, says,"I think students and kids do drugs for the fact they want to try new things and experiment but they don't realize the seriousness of it."

Fass says,"I mean I guess they should learn their lesson sooner or later but I guess they have to learn it the bad way."

Police are not releasing the names of the students because at this point noone has been arrested.

The incident is still under investigation.

I think most guys have at one time considered and rejected that particular dating strategy.

You don't need mushrooms to do that.

He's lucky; he could have come across a homosexual who would have been happy to comply...

Have You Seen Her
The Chi-Lites

(Eugene Record/Barbara Acklin)

Ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...
Ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

One month ago today
I was happy as a lark
But now I go for walks
To the movies, maybe to the park

I have a seat on the same old bench
To watch the children play, huh
You know tomorrow is their future
But for me just another day

They all gather ‘round me, huh
They seem to know my name
We laugh, tell a few jokes
But it still doesn’t ease my pain

I know I can’t hide from a memory
Though day after day I’ve tried
I keep sayin’ she’ll be back
But today again I’ve lied

Oh, I see her face everywhere I go
On the street and even at the picture show
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her

Oh, I hear her voice as the cold winds blow
In the sweet music on my radio
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her

OK< I must post the whole song:

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice when she was just small

When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice, I think she'll know

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head, feed your head
