Mysterious case of the missing penguin goes freezing cold
Yoke Wong April 27th, 2009 News
There’s still no sign of the LSE penguin which vanished on March 7th, but LSE students remain convinced King’s students are behind the theft.
Aled Dilwyn Fisher, General Secretary of the LSE Students’ Union said: “Our initial investigative expedition down to Kings did not yield results but we are continuing our efforts on many fronts.”
King’s College has denied the charge and Tony Sebastian, VP Student Activities and Facilities of King’s College Student Union (KCLSU) said: “Other UL colleges have been named, but King’s seems to be singled out as the main perpetrator, possibly due to location.
”From King’s own internal investigation, there was no evidence that Kings students were involved, but we will continue to monitor the situation and work with LSE to resolve this amicably and hopefully see an end to the issue.
”Internally, KCL have asked their students to come forward if they know anything at all about the missing statue, and have let their students and LSE know that if King’s students were responsible they would be dealt with accordingly,” he added.
Fisher said, expressing his hope of recovering the penguin: “If the penguin does not return soon, we will need to rethink our strategy. But we will never give up hope of it returning.”
Others were not so optimistic. Chi Huynh, a final year law undergraduate at LSE said: “I don’t think it will ever be found.”
The LSE penguin is a 3ft high sculpture weighing 60lb. It was donated by Canadian philanthropist and LSE alumnus Louis Odette and stood outside the Economists’ Bookshop.
