UVU, party school?

Readers at the Deseret News are upset about the student highjinks at the dedication of Utah Valley University. It seems that some co-eds at the state-owned don't understand that it's really a BYU branch campus.

The above DNews photo had undies in a bunch across Utah County.

Reader Otis Spurlock commented:
I am a little offended. The picture of the woman on the right has a t-shirt that reads "Got Tequilla". Thanks for keeping your content family appropriate. [Sarcasm alert!]
In case you haven't been closely following the growth of the Utah County's newest ivory tower from its days as a "13th grade" community college to its ribbon cutting (complete with LDS Prophet Tom Monson) as Utah Valley Intergalactic University, well, you're not alone.

The comments on the DNews story are worth checking out.

BTW, today's DNews story features these party animals:

I think there should be an investigation, and a story as to why Thomas Monson won't wear a flag lapel pin.

And, will he say the pledge of allegiance?

I feel, that as a 25 year old active LDS male student, I should make known my opinion that even if this girl was wearing a "Choose the Right" t-shirt, she would still be horribly unattractive. The girl looks like a pig that was given anthropomorphic features. She not only disgusts me in the fact that she's wearing that shirt, but she is grossly overweight and should be banned.

What in Zion was this "photographer" thinking?

Kudos, Trib.

That's a Choose the Right shirt? Looks like it says Got Tequila on it to me.

Come on rossi, didn't you do your little hook 'em horns dance in the temple too?

Hook 'em horns dance in the temple? I was a UT fan growing up and have been to the temple many times, but I don't remember a hook 'em horns dance?

Utah needs another bona fide party school because not everyone wants to live in Cedar City. It will be great for economic development. Corporate executives looking to relocate will want to know if a given state has a party school so his slaker offspring will have a place to "study".

Texas has one in virtually every county with a population greater than 500,000. In fact, they even have an organization called the Texas Party School Association.
