Sopranos reference. In one episode some masked wannabe mobsters hold up the box office at a college concert and later they stick up an "executive" poker game run by the actual Mafia. It didn't turn out how they'd hoped.

The morons should have held up someplace more upscale, like Tabler Quad.

Will metal detectors be placed at the entrances of college dorms? Will college students stop turning a blind eye toward drug dealers?

You haven't been to a university dorm recently, have you.

Rumor is -- ecstasy -- one drug dealer setting up another. Arranging the robbery to look like both dealers were being robbed.

So much for the "Gun Free Schools" act and related laws.

Students couldn't even have a gun in their dorms to defend themselves.

Not really, law abiding people can't have guns on (most) school campuses.

You think robbers would take the chance of robbing someone that may have a gun and shoot back?

A small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia were recovered in the room, though no charges were filed.

oops, hide the stash BEFORE you call the cops......

Rumor is -- ecstasy was the drug that the competing dealers sold.

"College students are BROKE"

No, college graduates are broke. College students have lots of toys and are still living on Mommy's and Daddy's buck (plus credit cards).

According to the victims, the suspects took off with cash, wallets, cell phones and cigarettes.

Cellphones...probably gave the robbers leads for drug dealing.
