Indiana, Pennsylvania Fighting Party School Reputation
It is the Christmas Tree Capital of the World, Jimmy Stewart's home town, the fertile crescent of the labor movement, and evidently home to one of America's most renowned party schools. MSNBC reports that officials at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) in Indiana, PA are seeking out ways to change the school's image as a party school. Crime is noticeably on the rise in Indiana.
Last week while visitng friends in Indiana, I learned that the previous week there had been a stabbing on campus. This year the IUP cheerleading squad was suspended for hazing. Girls hazing? What's next? IUP athletes have been regulalry in the news for violent crimes including a recent event, which led to the arrest of four football players for beating a bouncer at a local bar.
Regardless of the crimes that have increased lately, Indiana, PA remains my favorite place on earth. It is more like Bedford Falls than Gotham City.
NOTE: No smart remarks from PITT or UT students or alumni who are still bitter because they could not get into IUP.

"___________________________ _______________" (You said no smart remarks from UT alum, so I had to remove my first comment and am left with nothing to say!)
I figured that I could count on you or Nate (Pitt) to say something sarcastic. It was easy to target the potential for comments since you are one of about three people who actually read my blog (suzanne being the third).
My comments:
1. I didn't apply to IUP!
2. I didn't see that pretty building when I was there.
3. I didn't enjoy my only trip to IUP. Sorry!
