Is there a vampire amongst the Drake University student body?

Today we start something new; this is a new practice section about the college life and about how the campus can be a dangerous place. As parents we send our children off to a college or university with all the hopes and dreams that they will succeed, but some don't and some are injured or killed while on campus.

This practice category will be a catalogue of how they get themselves in trouble. The bars seem to be a common meeting area where many enjoy each other's company in a festive atmosphere. But drinking can lead to other things and today's post is one of those things.

A Drake University student from Kansas City, Missouri needed to be treated at Mercy Hospital after he fought with someone near the bathroom at the Dublin bar and part of his finger was bitten off. I kid you not. The young man is Andrew Brooks, a 22-year-old fingerless man. The Dublin is at 2307 University, Des Moines, Iowa. I don't believe the Dublin had this in mind when they added finger food to the menu. Metromix gives The Dublin a 4 star rating. You can visit The Dublin had a MySpace page previously but it may have been taken down.
