AMES, Iowa [KCCI/ISU Police]—More than half of the nearly three dozen people arrested or cited during “801 Day” in Ames had no affiliation with Iowa State University, according to ISU police. Police say 31 people were arrested and/or cited between 7 a.m. Saturday and 3 a.m. Sunday. The Saturday before classes start at Iowa State is commonly known as “801 Day,” a reference to an old rule that said fraternities and sororities were prohibited from having alcohol until 8:01 a.m. the Saturday before classes started.

Of those 31 people arrested or cited, 51.6% (16 people) had no affiliation with the university, police say. This follows a recent trend; last year, nearly 60% of the 36 arrested or cited had no affiliation with ISU. ISU police say all of the arrests and citations happened outside of sanctioned ISU events. There were no hospitalizations.

Thirteen people were arrested this year. Of the citations issued, 18 were for possession of alcohol under the legal age of 21 and two for unlawful use of license.
