A party last month at the Field Museum for new students at the Kellogg
School of Management at Northwestern University turned into a drunken
affair to remember—for some, at least.

        
In its wildest retelling, students threw things at Sue, the museum's
famous dinosaur fossil, though a museum spokeswoman denies that Sue
was the target of drunken debauchery.

        
No matter what happened, the wild party, which about 700 people
attended, has become an embarrassment for Kellogg.

        
News of the party leaked Thursday on a financial gossip Web site
called Dealbreaker, which posted an e-mail from a Kellogg student
leader sent last week to all students lecturing them about proper
conduct.

        
Kellogg spokeswoman Megan Washburn confirmed that a small group of
students misbehaved at the Sept. 26 student-sponsored event. She
apologized for the conduct.

        
"It's not the standard students hold themselves to at Kellogg," she
said.

        
Washburn would not describe the misconduct at the party. "The school
is still investigating these infractions," she said. "Courses of
action against individual students haven't been determined at this
time."

        
But she confirmed that an admonishing e-mail was sent to partygoers in
which some of the alleged activity, including the Sue incident, was
described, including:

        
•"Students were vomiting on themselves and on the Field Museum
floors."

        
•"Students were spitting at people."

        
•"Students passed out in high-traffic areas."

        
Museum spokeswoman Nancy O'Shea said neither the museum nor any
exhibits were damaged during the party.

This happens in every school in the US... No big deal

yeah...in fact I am OK with that...a lot of fun...

Following is forwarded from http://forums.businessweek.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?tsn=11&nav=messages&webtag=bw-bschools&tid=77997

...the event at Kellogg shows that we are indeed human beings, not drones chained to our desks and following the daily rat race for more money and power. These
        are young people that loosened up a bit and had a good time. More power to them! In my eyes, it makes the allure of attending a school like Kellogg much stronger after reading this. Sure we all want to get great jobs and opportunities - primary reason we are going. But having fun and ACTING YOUR AGE is also a big part of it.
    

I hear from a friend people at the museum event were also having sex around the museum. Who said you can't get laid in bschool??? ...
