Paper Trail: Male students at Pennsylvania's Mahanoy Area High School must request toilet paper. Principal Thomas Smith says, "We've had serious destruction to our bathrooms for the past two years. We have a case pending with the police where a bathroom down by our gymnasium was absolutely destroyed. I'm sure Mr. (Robert) Pastucha (district facilities director) could tell you the times that our toilets have been jammed with toilet paper and other papers. And after we took the toilet tissue out of there, people were throwing books. It was our way to try to curb the destruction in the bathrooms. Our policy is that if you need toilet paper, you would come to the office. We're not refusing anyone toilet paper. You would sign out and then sign back in. I randomly go in to check if anything is going on. Since we've done that, we've cut down on the destruction." Some parents disapprove of the policy saying it's embarrassing
