STONERS RUIN CU'S REPUTATION

In 2003 CU was ranked the No. 1 party school in the country by the 
Princeton Review (which, incidentally, is about as closely affiliated 
to Princeton as O.J. Simpson is to orange juice). We were on top, the 
best, numero uno. As Leonardo DiCaprio might say, we were "king of 
the world!" However, in 2004, a horrible thing happened and that 
ranking dropped to No. 9. Since that time, our reputation has 
continued to decline, and the Buffs have not broken the top 20 in the 
past three years.

Apparently, the current administration is not concerned about this 
problem in the least. As far as we know, the CU faculty and staff are 
doing nothing to help the students regain their championship.

Part of the reason for this drop in "party school" status could be 
that CU is now ranked No. 15 in marijuana use. And as we all know, 
stoners are notorious slackers. All they do is sit on the couch, eat 
Fritos and watch Dora the Explorer (Swiper, no swiping! Swiper, no 
swiping! Swiper, no swiping!).

In order for CU to once again be the primo party school in the 
country, we're going to have to break these students of their pot 
habits... and get them hooked on crystal meth. Hopefully the Boulder 
community will get behind this program, and we can regain that 
coveted No. 1 title once again.
