Oh Those Crazy College Kids

What will they think of next?

Police discovered a methamphetamine lab inside a freshman residence hall on the Georgetown University campus early Saturday.

Four hundred residents of Harbin Hall were evacuated and two freshmen were detained for questioning. Students and administrators at the prestigious private university were startled by the find.

"For this campus, this is very out of the norm," said Kayla Bostwick, 18, a freshman rousted from her room at 6 Saturday morning. "This should not happen."

A caller to campus police reported strange odors from a 9th-floor room about 5 a.m., said Julie Green Bataille, university spokeswoman. Officers entered the double-occupancy room and found the lab.

Students were evacuated because of the potential for meth labs to explode. They were sent to a nearby dining hall and to the student center.

"We needed to make sure the building was safe," Bataille said.

Just wait, some Democrat will blame this on high tuition costs and will call for more federal funding for student grants.

In 1976 I did a choir tour to Washington D.C. and we stayed in the dorms at Georgetown. I don't recall any meth labs at that time.
