| 2014-01-19 |
| [Al Ahram] Security forces broke up clahes on Saturday at Zagazig University between pro-Moslem Brüderbund students and opposing peers from the physical education faculty, the Ahram Arabic website reported. The two sides exchanged rocks, fireworks and Molotov cocktails until the police intervened by firing tear gas to disperse them. A number of students suffered from suffocation due to tear gas and sustained minor to medium injuries during the festivities. According to Al-Ahram Arabic news website, at least nine were maimed by birdshot. Seven Moslem Brüderbund students were tossed in the calaboose ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... on campus. Several universities including Cairo University, Ain Shams University, and Al-Azhar University's Cairo campus have witnessed festivities between security forces and pro-Brotherhood students since the start of the academic year. On Thursday, two students died in festivities with security guards and police at Cairo University. In November, Central Security Forces stormed the Zagazig campus in the eastern Nile Delta governorate of Sharqiya upon request from the university's president, firing teargas at pro-Morsi demonstrating students. |

| #4 Somebody adulterating the local product? Usually, time spent at Zig Zag University results in prolonged couch-sitting, Doritos consumption and too much Pink Floyd. |
