Drunk WSU Students All Fall Down

The AP reports today that a Washington State University student is in stable condition at a Pullman hospital after falling down a flight of stairs inside the Delta Chi fraternity. Pullman police say 21-year-old Anthony Pentecost is the second intoxicated student to fall at one of the university's fraternities since mid-August; on Aug. 14, a 19-year-old woman fell through a fire escape at Phi Kappa Tau. Police say Pentecost reportedly had been drinking wine early Tuesday morning when fellow fraternity members told him to go to bed. Students heard a thud and found him unconscious at the bottom of the stairs/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise. More here.

Question: I'm beginning to think that students from UI/WSU tumbling out of buildings (or down stairs) is another sure sign that autumn is here. What do you think?
