Survey ranks UW-Madison top party school
NEW YORK (AP) -- The University of Wisconsin-Madison has been named the country's top party school in a survey of 110,000 college students.
The University of Tennessee at Knoxville is ranked 16th on the latest party school list compiled by the Princeton Review.
The Princeton Review has released its 2006 edition of "The Best 361 Colleges." The survey ranks the top 20 colleges in 62 different categories ranging from best academic, to toughest to get into, to most beautiful campus.
The top academic school is Reed College in Portland Oregon. Reed also ranks as the least religious of all the schools.
The most religious is Brigham Young University, which is also the top stone-cold sober school for the eighth straight year.
Study author Rob Franek says the book is designed to help college-bound high school students make a more informed college choice.
" First, kill all the lawyers"

Indeed. I'm surprised the first suit got thrown out. I recall reading this a year or two ago and thought that the students had a pretty solid case.
But, of course, cases like this just go to show why antitrust laws are stupid. Repeal has been long overdue, and unfortuntely Congress won't do the job. Antitrust has a nice PR machine.
"The pity is that all the owners did was try to cooperate with the UW and Chancellor John Wiley's campaign against binge drinking. That campaign included getting the bars to agree to eliminate drink specials, which Wiley insists contribute to students' overindulging."
Gosh - do 6 for 1 drink specials really encourage binge drinking?
I have fond memories of drinking on State Street, but for the life of me, I can't recall any of them.
I've had many a fishbowl at Wando's but I have no idea what this Wanda's is. I'm sorry but the bar scene is so much a part of college life in Madison, I'm glad I finished school just before this stuff started to go through. A Fishbowl is a group activity, usually participated in with 3 to 6 people. It's not, "let's drink a fishbowl", it's, "let's do a fishbowl".
A fishbowl is literally a medium sized fishbowl filled with an alcoholic punch and ice.
1) It is NO business of UW's or Chancellor Wiley's what the students do off campus.
2) By agreeing amongst themselves not to offer specials, they have committed unlawful collusion that effectively results in price fixing.
The University should devote more effort to education and less to social engineering, and bar owners should try to sell more drinks. Period.
