Western...
As many of you may know, I went to Canada for exchange during the Fall season in 2002. The university that I attended there was the University of Western Ontario, UWO for short. Students from the school fondly call it Western. So if you hear someone from Canada saying "I'm studying in Western", you know where now.. ;)
The school totally rocked, it was so much fun being there... and the people were hot too. A canadian friend I met there told me that UWO was ranked the top university in USA and Canada, when it comes to having the most number of hot babes (he claimed that it was an official survey finding by Playboy magazine). I didn't disbelieve, because a look around the school and I could see that it wasn't a baseless claim... ;p
Anyway, why am I talking about UWO all of a sudden? I remember the hostels were generally mixed-gender types, ie. you can actually find yourself staying next to a gal. During bathing hours, you could see gals and guys alike, walking along the corridoor wrapped only with a towel to and fro the bathroom... no lah.. not that I always bio... heard from my friends, since I didn't stay in the school hostel during my exchange.
And of course, you see many people sharing the same room, ie. couples in one single room. Or even 2 couples in a double room. Happening place... but this latest news I think tops it all...
--- Quoted from tonypierce...
Apparently what happened was some freshmen wanted to celebrate their buddy's birthday by hiring a stripper, but they realized they had very little cash and they didnt know any strippers.
One of their friends said, no problem bros, theres some girls down the hall who strip on the side.
And sure enough they DID strip on the side and they marched down the hall and did a nice bump and grind for the boys for allegedly $40 (canadian). This was in October and all would have been a fine little tale if it hadnt been for a few dozen pictures that were snapped.

Canadian universities have no business, it seems, in the bedrooms of the campus dorm.
Yet thanks to the Internet, everyone else can take a peek.
The University of Western Ontario is investigating an incident in which a female first-year student performed a full striptease and lap dance last week for several males in a residence bedroom, with graphic photos soon sent out over the Internet.
A Google search on 'saugeen stripper' reveals several x-rated photos.
The incident raises questions about how far a university can go in protecting students, particularly younger ones from themselves.
But because the young woman apparently performed willingly in the privacy of a residence room and no one filed a complaint, the school says it likely has no cause for discipline.
"We certainly regret this has happened; it's not something the university condones and we are very disappointed in these students, but rooms in residence are considered to be students' homes, and what goes on between consenting adults in the privacy of their homes is considered to be their business," said Susan Grindrod, Western's vice-president of housing.
"What's different in this case is that these pictures are going all over the world. With the Internet and personal blogs, pictures can be circulated very quickly, and I'm not sure how we would regulate students' blogs and websites even if we wanted to," said Grindrod.
As soon as the raunchy images came to the attention of the administration, officials approached the young woman to ask if she had been forced to strip or tricked into being photographed without her knowledge. She said she had not.
"We were immediately proactive because we wanted to know if there had been any coercion and she told us she was a consenting participant and she was aware that pictures were being taken," said Grindrod.
"If there had been any coercion, there absolutely would have been repercussions. We do plan to talk to the other (male) students involved and continue to review the situation. It's still early in the game for us to have figured out how to proceed."
University dorms have codes of conduct that forbid students from breaking the law. Many take a zero-tolerance approach to students taking drugs and underage drinking, for example.
Western has a policy that forbids the circulation of "objectionable" material such as racist, homophobic or pornographic images, either written or electronic, with extreme cases leading to the student being asked to leave residence.
Yet most universities warn today's highly involved baby boomer parents that campus dorm supervisors will not serve as party police or morality monitors for their children, but will enter a student's room only if there is reason to believe a law is being broken or someone is in danger.
"We're not the alcohol police and we're not sex police, and I'm not sure we would want to be," said Grindrod. "And we recognize that many young people in first year may try out new things that can lead to errors in judgment. I'm not sure some of these misbehaviours haven't gone on in the past. It's just that today, the images can get sent around the world.
"I actually feel badly for all the students involved in this incident. It's a very sad situation."

Why feel bad? I think the guys enjoyed it, and the gal was paid and willingly did it... hmmm...
