Some students stay in on St. Patrick's Day

       ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. (Feb. 25)-- Green-clad students filled the pizzeria as sophomore Michelle Mills waited in line at Mangia on West Main Street in Allegany last St. Patrick’s Day. Behind her Mills heard someone shout, “Look guys, I’m doing an Irish jig!” Mills turned around to see her friend frantically hopping around with a big smile on her face, clearly proud of herself.
       “My friend was drunk and hopping around like an idiot telling everyone that she was Irish dancing,” Mills said. “Clearly, she wasn’t.”
       Stories about drunken students and parties on St. Patrick’s Day are heard all around the St. Bonaventure University campus, but what about the students who choose not to party?
