The list came as a shock to many students, mostly because Penn State was named No. 1 party school in 2010 by the Princeton Review. The univer sity did not even earn an honorable mention on Playboy’s 2010 list, though some other Big Ten schools, like the University of lowa, did. “That doesn’t make sense to me,” Erik Forsman (junior-information sci ence and technology) said. The University of Wisconsin- Madison placed third on Playboy’s list but only eighth on the Princeton Review’s list.

Steff said. If passed, Steff said the COG Public Safety Committee (PSC) would conduct the study at no cost and focus primarily on events including Nittany Lions football games, State Patty's Day, the Central Pennsyh ania No. 12 on the Princeton Review list. Indiana University ranked No. 14 on the Princeton Review rankings, and Michigan State University’s "Izzone” named after Coach Tom Izzo won an honorable mention in Playboy’s list for best student section in basketball. “While nothing stood out save maybe State Patty’s Day, the fun at Penn State is more a sum of many dynamic parts,” Playboy Assistant Editor Rocky Rakovic said. "If you feel that we made a gross oversight, prove it to us for next year’s list and send us your pictures and stories.” To compile the list, Playboy looks at sex, sports, nightlife, academics and overall campus atmosphere when deciding which schools make the cut. Editors also look at input from cam pus representatives, models, photog raphers and students, Rakovic said. See PLAYBOY, Page 2.
