Des Moines Register: Campuses Urged to Stress Perils of Binge Drinking
Des Moines...Several Iowa college campuses have struggled with alcohol-related incidents during this academic year, from a near-death and sexual assaults at Drake University to record-high hospitalizations at the University of Iowa.

One participant, a juvenile court intake supervisor, said that in many cases the problem begins before students arrive at college, since consumption of hard liquor by underage drinkers is on the rise locally.
