ISU students buckle under pressure

(AP, Ames Iowa) Iowa State University has threatened to end the 82 year old "Veishea" celebration after a riot which included party goers setting fires, pulling down street lights, smashing store fronts, throwing beer bottles and "mooning" the cops. The trouble started when police cracked heads at a private off campus party forcing several hundred guests onto the streets.

The 26,000 students at ISU have responded to the University's ultimatum by vowing to "clean up their act" and to "put an end to bing drinking and late night parties". Off the record some students hoped "panty raids" would still be allowed.

Perhaps the cops and the students should talk out their differences over a beer and a Reuben.
