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. - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
