On a lighter but still disturbing note:
Western Goes Wild!
Girls Gone Wild party bus comes to the Hill

On a night when ghouls and goblins roamed the streets, several Western women decided to go wild instead.
Last night, the Girls Gone Wild party bus came to Western searching for a few parties to crash.
The bus drove from Chattanooga, Tenn., yesterday and visited several parties on and around the Hill.
Parked outside the Sigma Chi house on 1215 College St., the bus stirred passers-by into an excited and anxious frenzy.
The bus' visit to Western began with online communication between Western students and Girls Gone Wild.
But the visit at about 9 p.m. shocked many.
The bus was filled with about eight female students clad in fishnet stockings, heels and bunny ears. Only a few men and women over 18 were invited inside the bus.
Girls Gone Wild is a company famous for capturing women flashing their breasts on film at vacation spots around the world. The tapes and DVDs are sold by phone through late-night television infomercials and on the Internet.
The night seemed more like Christmas than Halloween for the mostly-male crowd gathered outside the bus.
There were whispers of profanity and disbelief throughout the crowd, which nearly doubled in 17 minutes. Some people speculated if the activities inside the bus lived up to the company's racy image.
Even a group of middle-aged adults stopped to gawk, laugh and take pictures next to the rock-star style tour bus.
Some onlookers weren't so excited about the evening's activities.
Vine Grove senior Rachel Shook said the event was degrading.
Shook stood across the street and watched the spectacle with her friend, Greensburg senior Christy Kibodeaux.
"It makes men seem idiotic," Kibodeaux said. "They're like moths to a bug zapper, and we're the birds watching and laughing."
Bowling Green police arrived at the scene after receiving noise complaints. They asked the crowd to disperse, or they would be arrested for disorderly conduct.
But the crowd swelled to more than 50 people after the police left.
Louisville freshmen Allie Maerson and Autumn Keen said they contacted Girls Gone Wild through the networking Web site myspace.com and continued to talk to the company through e-mail.
Keen said she and Maerson met with the Girls Gone Wild bus at about 5 p.m. yesterday at the Hampton Inn on Nashville Road.
"They gave us all this free stuff, and we've been on the bus for about five hours, just chillin'," Keen said.
Louisville freshman Tony Cummings, a member of Sigma Chi, was on the bus for about an hour.
The bus arrived with about eight women inside, Cummings said. It was crowded, but it was still pretty nice, he said.
"It's a pretty mellow mood," Cummings said. "Everyone's just on there having a good time."

I love that it was girls who contacted them, and it was through MySpace. Also, I think I'm going to look up Christy Kibodeaux on Facebook because that quote was pretty funny.
