Duke Party Features Bikinis, Baby Oil
Tue Jan 25, 8:05 PM ET Strange News - AP
DURHAM, N.C. - In what police say was an homage to the movie "Old School," partying Duke University students were found in a fraternity house basement with an inflatable pool, a whole lot of baby oil and women in bikinis.
Police came upon the scene early Sunday after responding to a noise complaint.
"Inside were several of America's future, re-enacting a scene from the movie 'Old School,' where females wrestle in a pool of lubricants," police Sgt. D. Gunter said. In their version, the Duke students apparently opted for baby oil.
Officers said they cleared the house of the 200 revelers, sending some of the women home in the subfreezing temperatures in nothing more than the bikinis they wore.
Nicholas Hunter Roberts, who lives at the address, was charged with violating the city's noise ordinance, a misdemeanor that carries a $150 fine.
There has been ongoing tension between students and residents of the neighborhoods that adjoin Duke's East Campus. Other weekend parties in the area resulted in noise ordinance charges and a marijuana possession charge.
Damn!
I don't remember anything like that when I was at the Univ of Minnesota!
What, no women on trampolines?
So where are the pictures?
There is an obvious 'revenue stream' here the cops didn't want to tackle.
Don't the cops have anything better to do in Raleigh...
Depends, how many neighbors were complaining.
Over 200 kids, hell, I'd be ticked off, the cops pretty much cut them alot of slack on this.
I do find the idea of sending the girls home in bikini's (the cops must not have let them even change back into normal clothes) I do find disturbing.
Without pictures, I tend to think this is an urban legend...
Any relation to Patty Duke?
No pictures, no justice!
I thought this was about David Duke at first.
BLAME THE AP ON PICS!!!!!
THIS IS NEWS?
A bunch of kids being a bit noisy, but effectively not breaking the law?
HOW sad that the Associated Press have little else to comment on.
LOL
This is pretty strange to make national news - a wild party thrown by frat boys. Not that I'm excusing the behavior - but a national news story?
Especially the part with the freezing girls in bikinis.
I agree with you.
And, the semi-naked girls element must have been consensual, or else the cops wouldn't have sent them home in their bikinis.
Sounds like a noise ordinance...that the AP tried to bump up into tabloid news. Move along folks. Nothing to see here.
And covered in baby oil. 
Althogh since news is anything out of the ordinary...maybe they don't party at Duke so it 200 people IS out of the ordinary.
