89. Eradicate


From, “Student’s Death Turns Spotlight on Hazing,” by Lizette Alvarez and Robbie Brown, The New York Times, 11/30/11:

“Dr. White has been trying to champion eradicating hazing from the band for years,” said Timothy A. Barber, a former head drum major who graduated in 2003 and is now the executive director for the Black Archives History and Research Foundation of South Florida. “He took a strong stance. But it goes underground. It happens away from campus, at night. You can’t control it.”

Eradicate: put an end to; destroy
