Reception for students at museum turns into drunken debauchery.

I hate stupid college kids. From the Chicago Tribune:
A party last month at the Field Museum for new students at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University turned into a drunken affair to remember—for some, at least.

In its wildest retelling, students threw things at Sue, the museum's famous dinosaur fossil, though a museum spokeswoman denies that Sue was the target of drunken debauchery.

No matter what happened, the wild party, which about 700 people attended, has become an embarrassment for Kellogg.

News of the party leaked Thursday on a financial gossip Web site called Dealbreaker, which posted an e-mail from a Kellogg student leader sent last week to all students lecturing them about proper conduct.

[...] She confirmed that an admonishing e-mail was sent to partygoers in which some of the alleged activity, including the Sue incident, was described, including:

•"Students were vomiting on themselves and on the Field Museum floors."

•"Students were spitting at people."

•"Students passed out in high-traffic areas."

Museum spokeswoman Nancy O'Shea said neither the museum nor any exhibits were damaged during the party.
