It’s Monday night at fair Harvard. Typically, the biggest weeknight soirees on campus are Ec 10 study sessions in the halls of Widener and Lamont. However, three days ago, roughly 500 Harvard students made the trek to a new promised land: Harvard State University (HSU). The party advertised the experience of college as it was meant to be: pulsing lights, pounding beats, short skirts and the requisite freaks and grinds.

Before flying into Boston to keep tabs on HSU, he spent the weekend in L.A. with client David Smith (better known as Joe Millionaire) and ran a casting call with Jay Leno for the Discovery Channel’s reality spinoff of its popular “Crocodile Hunter” show, and he’s shuttling down to New York to run another casting call...

Throughout the course of the night, several students are reluctantly removed from HSU for drinking without wristbands. “It’s a mistake!” one forcefully claims as he is led by burly bouncers down Europa’s steep staircase entrance and out the door. One bouncer replies, “You took a chance and you lost...
