University of Iowa students racked up a combined $50,500 in alcohol-related fines this weekend, the Daily Iowan reports. Miles away, police arrested 54 Amherst College students this weekend on charges related to underage drinking, says the Daily Collegian. The Iowa fines seem to be related to an Iowa versus Iowa State football game. The Amherst arrests appear to be related to it being a weekend. At Iowa, students don't appear to be fazed, according to one student who was ticketed while he sat in a rocking chair outside a party. "I'll be out this Friday and Saturday," he told the Iowan. "Actually, probably, I'll be out this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday."
