The fraternity is called the FIIs. The group had made it to their 21st pub stop of 28 on a list of establishments around Carroll Street in Vancouver's lower cast: side when they were involved in a “pushing and shoving” match with “pub locals.” The fight spilled out to the stecet. The West Vancouver men were cut by one knife wieider. Police do not have a descrip- tion of the assailant. The man with the bar is described as being Caucasian with dark hair and dark skin, possibly of Italian or Native descent, according to the police. Drennan said Vancouver City Police officers spoke to the group of fraternity broth- ers at about their 10th pub Stop. “They were told to go home. Fhev were becoming intoxicated and becoming rowdy,” said Drennan, The FIIs ignored the advice and continued on their way until the stabbings at 1] p.m. Police recovered the list of pubs the FIJIs were visiting that evening. The list begins with a drink at No. 5 Orange at 5 p.m. and ends at the Cecil Hotel and then “back to the P enthouse cause it’s open "tll 2 am.” An offensive comment described cach drinking establishment on the lst. The comments ate pro- fane, vulgar, sexist and racist. The racial shurs are mainly against Native Indians and Poles. Among the milder com- ments on the list: “6. Sunrise - you may never see another one,” “11. Pennsylvania - Isn’t this where Tom Hanks got HIV,” and “5. Balmoral - don’t step on any used nee- dies.” Said Drennan, “This list alone would be enough to start a fight in any of these locations.” She added,“While we cer- tainly don’t suggest that these young men were asking for this kind of thing to happen to them, it is entirely likely that you are going to get into trouble if you drink that much and you are ina part of town you are not familiar with.” Drennan said the pub crawl was the fifth annual for the fraternity.
