When creating the rank- ings, Playboy looks at the male to female ratio, the percentage of winning sports teams and how close the schools are to beaches and ski slopes, the article states. Playboy also conducts interviews with students and alumni of the schools. Last year's top party school, The University of Texas at Austin, slipped to CRIME NOTES number five this year, ABC news reported. Penn State University and Arizona State Universi- ty took the second and third spots, respectively, in this year's ranking. LA SALLE UNIVERSITY TRIES TO CENSOR SCHOOL NEWSPAPER The Collegian, the stu- dent newspaper at La Salle University in Philadelphia, left the area above the fold blank in last Wednes- day's paper, except for the words "See below the Fold," according to an April 15 article in The Philadelphia Inquirer. The newspaper made the decision after being granted permission to run a story about a professor having exotic dancers come to an off-campus business semi- nar on the condition that it run below the fold, the arti- cle states. The article about the professor was written and ready to run in the paper on April 7, but the paper was told it could not run the story until the university had completed its investi- gation, according to The Inquirer. After the students at The Collegian argued to run the story since mul- tiple other news outlets had already reported it, the dean of students agreed to let the story run, pending that the university's lawyer read it beforehand, The Inquirer reported. The story was originally slated to be a front-page feature article, according to The Inquirer. But when the students were told the article had to run below the fold, they moved the entire section, includingthe news- paper's masthead, below the fold. - PAIGE PEARCY Newsroom 734-418-411s opt.3 Corrections corrections@michigandaily.com Arts Section arts@michigandaily.com Sports Section sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales display@michigandaily.com Online Sales onlineads@michigandaily.com News Tips news@michigandaily.com Letters to the Editor tothedaily@michigandaily.com Editorial Page opinion@michigandaily.com Photography Section photo@michigandaily.com tlassified Sales classified@michigandaily.com Finance finance@michigandaily.com Nightclub Fifth Quarter, vacant on Sat- urday, closed earlier this month.

N. Carolina gets worst of storms that ravaged U.S. I Tornados killed 45 people across 6 states, destroying homes and cars ASKEWVILLE, N.C. (AP) - A tornado-spewing storm sys- tem that killed at least 45 people acrosshalfthe countryunleashed its worst fury on North Caro- lina, where homes broke apart, trees snapped and livestock were swept into the air. Residents in the capital city and rural ham- lets alike mourned the dead, marveled at their own survival yesterday and began to clean up devastated neighborhoods. Observers reported more than 60 tornadoes across North Carolina on Saturday, but most of the state's 21 confirmed deaths occurred in two rural counties. A thunderstorm spawned a tornado that killed four people in south- eastern Bladen County, then kept dropping tornadoes as it hop- scotched more than 150 miles, eventually moving into Bertie County and killingli more. Heavy winds swept some homes from their foundations, demolished others and flipped cars on tiny rural roads between Askewville and Colerain, Bertie County Manager Zee Lamb said. At least three of those who died were from the same family, he said. The winds ripped to shreds the doublewide mobile home in Askewville where Justin Dun- low had sought shelter for his 3-year-old daughter, 5-year-old son and himself. The 23-year-old roofer, whose own mobile home nearby also was destroyed, lay on both children as the storm did its worst. "I just started praying, and the wall fell on top of us and that's what kept us there," he said. "I can replace the house, butI can't replace my babies. And that's what I thought about. I'm alive. My babies are alive." In Bladen County, Milton McKoy had thought his mobile home in Ammon was out of the storm's path before he saw a tor- nado over the tops of pine trees, lifting pigs and other animals into the sky. "It looked just like 'The Wiz- ard of Oz,"' said his wife, Audrey. The couple took shelter in the laundry room as the tornado snapped trees and carried off several homes in the neighbor- hood. When they stepped out, it took them a moment to figure out the twister had turned their own home around, leavingthem inthe backyard. The violent weather began Thursday in Oklahoma, where two people died, before cutting across the Deep South on Friday and hitting North Carolina and Virginia on Saturday. Authori- ties said seven people died in Arkansas; seven in Alabama; seven in Virginia; and one in Mississippi. CHARLES DHARAPAK/AP Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak listens on Sept., ,2010 as Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Nethanyahu, unseen, speaks in the East Room of the White House in Washington. Ex-Egyptian prime minister charged with wasting $15M Police fire on demonstrators in Iraq, at least 35 wounded Seven shot, dozens harmed by tear gas and rocks in northern city SULAIMANIYAH, Iraq (AP) - Iraqi police opened fire yesterday on stone-throwing crowds protesting government corruption in Iraq's northern Kurdish region. At least 35 people were wounded, some of them by gunfire, a doctor said. It was the latest protest to turn violent in Sulaimaniyah, a city in the normally peace- ful Kurdish region where demonstrations calling for political and economic reforms have been held nearly every day over the last several months. A day earlier, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki lauded Iraq's security forces as ready to protect the country in a meetingwith U.S. House Speaker John Boehner. In Sulaimaniyah, located 160 miles (260 kilometers) north- east of Baghdad, witnesses said some police fired into the air to clear protesters blocking a road and others shot into the crowd. Seven people were shot, includ- ing two local journalists, said Sulaimaniyah health director Dr. Regald Hama Rasheed. He said the other 28 people were wounded by thrown rocks or were hospitalized because of breathing problems from the tear gas. No deaths were immediately reported. At least nine protest- ers have been killed in anti- government demonstrations in Iraq's semiautonomous Kurdish region since Feb. 17. The demonstrations appear to have taken inspiration from the other flashes of unrest spreading across the Middle East and North Africa. Meeting with Boehner on Sat- urday night, al-Maliki repeated his belief that U.S. forces will no longer be needed to help Iraq's shaky stability after the end of the year. "The Iraqi armed and secu- rity forces are able to handle the responsibility of maintain- ing security, and work in a pro- fessional way," al-Maliki told Boehner, according to a state- ment issued by the prime minis- ter's office. Corruption charge is latest step to bring old regime to justice CAIRO (AP) - Egypt's ex- prime minister and two other former Cabinet members were charged with corruption yester- day in the latest step in a cam- paign to bring officials of Hosni Mubarak's toppled regime to jus- tice for years of corruption, rights abuses and other crimes. Egypt's attorney-general for public funds charged former Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif, ex- Finance Minister Yousef Boutros Ghali and former Interior Minis- ter Habib el-Adly with wasting more than $15 million in public money and profiteering, the offi- cial news agency reported. Mubarak was forced to step down on Feb. 11 after mas- sive protests against his three decades in power. One of the protesters' chief complaints was the corruption that pervades the government, its bureaucracy and virtually all levels of soci- ety. Also driving the campaign to bring the former president and those connected to him to trial are concerns that remnants of the regime could maintain some influence. Mubarak and his sons were placed in custody Wednesday for 15 days while they are investigat- ed on corruption allegations and over the deaths of hundreds of protesters in the 18-day uprising. The case involving his prime minister and the two other ex- Cabinet ministers centers on a deal with a German business- man. They are accused of grant- ing him a contract to sell license plates in Egypt without opening up the deal to competitive bid- ding. The German businessman is also charged with corruption in the case. A trial date has not been set. El-Adly, the ex-interior min- ister, is already facing trial on other corruption charges. Egypt's protest movement also wants to see him prosecuted for rights abuses carried out by the internal security forces that were under his control. Boutros Ghali, who is out- side the country, is a nephew of former U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali. Nazif served as prime minis- ter since 2004. Mubarak has remained in a hospital in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh until he can be transferred to a military hos- pital. He was hospitalized with unspecified heart problems on Tuesday, the same day his ques- tioning began. A security official, speak- ing on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, said the delay is primarily related to ensuring his security. The director of the hospital in Sharm el-Sheikh, Mohamed Fad- lallah, said Mubarak was in good condition. A witness who visited the hos- pital said Mubarak had asked to change the sealed windows in his hospital suite for ones that open to allow in fresh air.
