Protests at the Victory Bell tomorrow! Fight on

This really speaks highly of The Law Enforement in these areas.

This is stupidity at a new high!

As ktsnake said, some are bigger city rejects and then feel they are The Law West of The Pecos!

They may have a hard on for college students because they never were one. This dud at Valpo saying He saw someone firing up a bong was probably Just B S and used that for an excuse to go to the front door. He must be a real idiot if He is dumb enough to go into a party situation with out back up in the first place. In the second, to have a weapon drawn is just asking for trouble.

Trust Me speaking from personel experience, they need a heck of a lot more training.

College Students pump a lot of money into College Towns economy and with out them some of these peice of crap little towns would be dead.

Just naming a few in the Kansas and Missouri area, Maryville, Warrensburg, Columbia, and Cape Girardeau, in Mo. and Pittsburg, Emporia, Hays, Manhattan, and Lawrence, in Kansas.

I am sure the same can be said for many towns in the Mid West, Neb., Ark., Ok., Co., Ill., ETC!

They better soon learn. A Town gets a reputation of treating Students like trash will get more than the city bargened for.

As KDWxgirl (my old roommate) said, us valpo alumnis have tons of horror stories of the police using haphazard and pointless stratgies to arrest kids. The biggest problem is the way they react if noone is drinking. When they busted the sig ep house only to find everyone sober they were extremely angry and threatening. Why treat sober students like they're criminals?

The other thing that is ironic is that although they have a file of alleged rapes on one of our basetball players that never went through, nor was a string of car robberies ever solved....they were too busy hoping for a drunk girl to wander around to pick up...and then lecture her about how she's lucky that she was arrested and not raped.....

Suggest they contact the Local Sate Investigative Beaurea of The State for Miss Conduct.

They could file a class action suite against the Locals and ask for a Grand Jury Investigation.

This is so stupid when students of Greek Orgainzations and just Students try to do the moral thing. Ride a bus and not drive.


Oh Yes, Drinking, being in possesion of, or Drunk in Public is against The Law after Our Federal Govt. Held States feet to the fire to Make 21 The Legal Drinking age or lose Highway Funding.

If you look t hrough the videos you can find the news clip on the protests. It starts today at 5:00 and will be a silent protest. The students organizing the march are trying very hard to keep it respectful and to keep people out of trouble. Hopefully everyone follows the rules and there aren't a few idiots that take do something to take away from the message

The whole situation is just scary. I spent a lot of time in that particular house. It seems weird to see it and other pics of campus in the news.
Even when I was there, the escort van was used by everyone to head down to the fraternities for parties and then back to their dorms. Not everyone who rode the van was drunk, but for those who were, it was definitely a safer option than driving or even walking (Not that Valpo is in a bad neighborhood, it was just a long walk back to campus sober, let alone slightly intoxicated.)

Did you mean Valparaiso? There is another thread on DePauw. (DePauw Establishes Fact - Finding Commission on Greek Life )

Valparaiso University is located in Valparaiso, Indiana, southeast of Gary. While DePauw University is located in Greencastle, Indiana, southwest of Indianapolis toward Terre Haute.

At least Valpo cops don't shoot drunk college students like they do at my alma mater (Ball State).

After reading about experiences people have had at other universities, both public and private, I'm glad for the set up we have. I thought it was odd that Idaho didn't have campus police, but I think that having the local law enforcement (town, county, and state) handle campus matters as well as town matters makes it more of a community and closes the gap between "town and gown" so to say. Perhaps it also makes students more accountable as the police calls are reported in the newspaper, and things can't be kept quiet by the University, nor are students unfairly targeted by campus police.

The cops here aren't jerks, and I like it.
