April Fool's Day to the extreme:
What started as an April fool's joke does not appear extremely funny to some. After BU's school newspaper, Pipe Dream, printed a front-page article about the "rape ride" service as a substitute to the University's "safe-ride" shuttle, many are not pleased with the gag. Included in the article is a photograph of a woman being attacked next to the rape ride van. Member's of the B.U. Women's Center were very upset with the publication and want a retraction and an apology from the school newspaper. The Women's Center says this article is so detrimental because any student who has been attacked previously will then be re-traumatized by both the article and photograph.
