And at midnight, the council paid for taxis to shuttle students to IHOP. Alas, no students actually slept over in the dining hall, but Jones said that hadn’t been the intention. “After people went to IHOP, they went back to their rooms,” she said. “It was more like the feel of a sleepover.” Lisa...
