Tie Liberation Organization

The Tie Liberation Organizations was a group of students from the Engineering, Science and Arts faculties. In November 1989, the group stole The Pink Tie of the Faculty of Mathematics.

Liberation of the Tie
On the morning of November 14, 1989, while the Tie was hung for Homecoming, the TLO stole the Tie.

Touring and Letters
Over a period of several months, the TLO sent letters and pictures to MathSoc and brought the Pink Tie to locations around Ontario (Ottawa, Toronto and Sudbury ).

Tie's Return
Eventually, the tie was returned to MathSoc, stuffed into a beer case, on March 10, 1989 by the engineering Tool Bearers. The identities of the TLO were never revealed.
