So what's the point?
They could auction off the collected works of Bertrand Russell or the Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy or Theory of Wing Sections ISBN: 0486605868 by
I. H. Abbott.
All three of those book prizes would actually be useful to someone who was attending a University for a serious purpose beyond Frat Parties.

Im not even saying I necessarily think it is a good idea. I'm just trying to get some of the details out there, because alot of people are confused about the whole situation.

First off, guns are still legal. Your attitude only reinforces that guns are zaprescheny for the proletariat.
Besides, who the hell is going to buy raffle tickets for the collected works of Bertrand Russell?

One hell of a lot more than an Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy!

It adds to the value of an education by familiarizing college students with both the art of the rifle and the preferred weapon of Americas enemies.
Besides I'll bet this auction raises a lot more cash than the collected works of Bertrand Russell would bring.

Actually...I studied Russell in undergrad (we were required to take three philosophy courses) and I certainly don't see how his works could be useful to anyone.
"Religion is based, I think, primarily and mainly upon fear. It is partly the terror of the unknown and partly, as I have said, the wish to feel that you have a kind of elder brother who will stand by you in all your troubles and disputes. ... A good world needs knowledge, kindliness, and courage; it does not need a regretful hankering after the past or a fettering of the free intelligence by the words uttered long ago by ignorant men." — Bertrand Russell, Why I Am Not a Christian and Other Essays on Religion and Related Subjects
