Prof to gov: Stop ‘orgiastic defilement of Saintpatrick’

The governor’s “first name is Patrick and hopefully hewould be concerned his patron saint is being defiled in this way by a gang of mercenary bar and liquor store owners getting the youth in this area stinking drunk in the name of St. Patrick,” Boyle said. Boyle sent Quinn a letter dated Feb. 8, linking the pub crawls to a variety of bad behavior and asking him to take action.

Uof I spring break occurs over St. Patrick’s Day, so in 1996 a bar owner started his own early “unofficial” celebration. The day attracts students from colleges beyond theuof I and is known for excessive consumption of green beer from dawn to way past dusk.
