It was around midnight on Friday, Oct. 30, when Steven Leath saw more than a half dozen students pile into a car outside a dormitory. The scene alarmed him. One student, clearly drunk, had climbed into the vehicle’s trunk, yet his friends piled into the car and began driving away. Leath, president of Iowa State University, was heading from one location full of partying college students to another. He pointed the incident out to Jerry Stewart, the university’s police chief, who was driving around with Leath that night, and Stewart activated his lights and pulled the car over before it left the lot. The driver looked startled when the two men told her to take her friend out of the car and help him back to the dorm -- and even more shocked when she found out one of those men was the university president.
