What a horrible waste of money by the state!
Like the students will not simply celebrate on another day?
WTF?

Good. I am sure st Patrick would never want to be remembered by irreverent drunkenness on a scale of what goes on here.
In Dublin, and all over Ireland, st Patrick’s day is honored as any sets feast day, as a holy day
Anyone partying on that day should be able to give a quick biography of this great saint and leave the excuse for an expensive brawling college town party blitz to some other day or not at all
One has to wonder what expenses are allayed. Overtime police presence, sanitation? Medical?

This was bizarre to read! Closed fraternities, sororities, businesses, and what sounds like practically forced community service for students. Someone at Penn State really hates the Irish.

"
State Patty's Day" ?
Sounds like a grievous insult to an actual historic figure. Or were they threatened with a lawsuit if they used the "religious" connotation?

Per Democrats, 30 is the new 21.
They don’t tolerate people under the age of 25 having any responsibility, save for voting. And many would like to lower the age of voting to 16.

Two establishments are moments away from extreme wealth.
THOSE are the ones to investigate.
OK Ralph ... you have an 800 square foot joint ... HOW do you intend to serve(ice) 20,000 kids ???
I don't give a shit, Fred ... when I'm done with this weekend, I'll build a new joint and retire.

This makes sense to me. The problem is not one of people getting drunk, but of a lot of people getting drunk in a small area all at the same time.
Even the bars probably agreed with this, as while they would make a lot of money, fast, they also have a much greater chance for fights, vandalism, and related problems.

WTF! If the Penn State administrators would be minding the business of education and not so much the influence of alcohol in the community on St. Patrick’s day, it would be better for all (parents, students, bar owners, etc.) to decide if and how they will celebrate, not the university. I can understand that it may be difficult for some to distinguish between an Irish partier and a rioter, but that’s what the LEOs (of which many are of Irish descent) and the courts are paid to sort out.
Also, if there’s too much money laying around, hand out some on Martin Luther King day, Cinco de Mayo, election day, or any other day you want to influence the social behavior of the sheeple. At least the Irish won’t think you are biased toward them.

“Students who arrive in State College on Saturday”
Arrive? I’m thinking most of them are already there ... or do they just come in for the parties these days?

Fascist governments implement fascist economies by exerting strong directive influence over all aspects of manufacture and commerce, thereby controlling the production and allocation of resources.
