The social scene in Princeton

The Pton student newspaper carried two stories in the last week that concern me: first, three “Bloods” gangmembers got into a party on pre-frosh weekend and started a fight – all were arrested; second, a Pton student has been arrested for kidnapping and assault on a fellow student, and has been expelled from school. This follows an episode last spring where a varsity lacrosse player and a friend from JHI, I believe, assaulted a Pton student walking with his girlfriend on campus. They were prosecuted, but I don’t know the outcome. It may be that these things are a commentary on the state of affairs at even the best universities (indeed, think about UNC!), but has anyone else picked up on this series of events at Pton?
