IU not invited to Plaboy's party

For months now, some Hoosiers have been disputing the controversial "No. 1 Party School" ranking by Princeton Review, but their complaints may start to dwindle upon viewing the results of a recently released survey.\nPlayboy magazine recently published a list of what they have determined are the nation's top 25 party schools, and IU Bloomington is no where to be found. \n"I can say for sure they were nominated by at least a dozen students," Playboy associate editor Alison Prato said. Prato wrote the magazine's November feature. There were 1,500 nominations overall, she said.\nShe said the survey's results were formulated and complete by the time Princeton Review came out granting IU the top party spot.\n"The notion of party school has become synonymous with alcohol, which is a perversion," said IU Dean of Students Richard McKaig. McKaig openly protested Princeton Review's IU ranking and reportedly began laughing upon hearing the recent results.\n"We're not the number one party school because of the parties," sophomore Mark Sangid said. "We're the number one party school because of arrests. The basketball arrests helped our Princeton Review ranking, and having arrests jump up to three times as much as before made us No. 1."\nFreshman Dan Masterson came up with a more scientific solution if people argue that a survey like Playboy's comes up with less-than-accurate results.\n"I say let's just bring the Playboy bunnies in here and let them experience IU nightlife," he said.\nThe Associated Press contributed to this story.
