I know it is an Auburn tradition but I always thought throwing toilet paper all over them was also vandalism.

Having said that, I do hope the person responsible is caught and punished.

The rolling of Toomer’s is a party celebration much like confetti or a ticker-tape parade. Nobody gets hurt and they are a whole lot of fun. The city, and I have supported this, and the school allocate funds to clean up afterward although I would and I’m sure others would too, volunteer to clean up later if necessary.

Rolling the trees doesn’t kill them or make them sick.

I can't see throwing toilet paper on a tree is vandalism.

Cutting off branches, carving the trunk, burning parts...yeah, but throwing toilet paper on a tree. Nope.
