Chulalongkorn University lecturer chokes out a student and drags him away as colleagues watch, during Thursday's chaotic initiation ceremony. The deputy rector also promised that students would be allowed to stand and pay respects if there was rain, according to Mr Netiwit. He said, personally, he was very grateful for King Rama V's vision for the country that brought about change and development. Bancha Chalapirom, the university deputy rector, insisted the university did not force students to sit while it was raining. He said there was a slight drizzle and students agreed to carry with the ceremony and were given raincoats.
