 LA CROSSE, Wis. (AP) - Searchers combing the Mississippi River this month pulled out the body of University of Wisconsin-La Crosse basketball player Luke Homan — the eighth college-age man in nine years to disappear from a city tavern and turn up dead in a river.
La Crosse officials have debated for years how to keep drunken students safe, but some say there may be no answer for a town with three colleges, three rivers and $3 pitchers of beer.
"I'm not sure anything we do can prevent a future tragedy," Mayor Mark Johnsrud said.
