Al, 45th & Walnut is not between Kyle's house and Liz Campion's house.   If 
he took the direct route, Kyle would amble down 46th St. to Springfield and 
head 1/2 block west, to Farragut.

I'm not sure that everyone on the list remembers that there are OTHER 
universities in the area - Penn is not the only game in town, and frat boys 
have done 
damage before.   In Powelton a few years ago, Drexel guys went around ripping 
down rainbow flags.   They've often been seen mistaking neighbors' front 
steps for urinals.  

This time, I was thinking about a USP fraternity on 47th St. which has been 
doing some very loud, drunken partying in the last week, according to another 
list I'm on.   They've been spilling over into the street in the middle of the 
night and have seemed angry, perhaps with the neighbors who called the cops 
and USP on them.   Is it too far a leap, to think that they MIGHT break a car 
win
dow?

Why would we assume, on the list, that college students would never cause 
property damage?   Are we assuming that the students are more sophisticated, 
more 
responsible, more respectful, than our other neighbors, or what?   Is there 
some sort of profiling going on here?
