Five students were arrested for narcotics charges as part of a sting operation set up by police. Two undercover agents had been impersonating students for weeks leading up to the raid of the Bryan Complex. The five students had consumed marijuana and sold the drug and associated paraphernalia.

1997
Senior Dave Sobel convinced six fellow students to write about their lives and post it in a blog he created called “The University Center.” Sobel modeled his project off several other websites of the time that chronicled fictional characters’ lives much like soap operas. All cast-members were given pseudonyms to ensure some anonymity.
