Penn Police responded to 44 incidents related to Spring Fling during the course of the weekend -- one more than last year and three more than in 2003.
The incidents included one arrest, 19 hospitalizations due to alcohol poisoning, 19 party disturbances and five investigations for simple assault.
Complete figures for alcohol citations have not been calculated yet. They will be released later this week, following meetings between the police and the various college houses.
Penn Police Chief Mark Dorsey said that there may have been additional incidents -- particularly hospitalizations -- that did not require police notification.
He added that despite the slight increase in incidents from past years, students generally acted responsibly and cooperated with police.
"There was more good interaction between the police and the students," Dorsey said. "We made sure that everyone was safe."
In the only arrest of the weekend, police found a 22-year-old male student urinating on the street. The student will have to appear in community court and will likely face either a small fine or community service hours.
Police refused to reveal the name of the arrested student.
The 19 party disturbances mark a significant increase from the nine reported last year.
Dorsey said that because many students chose not to attend the Spring Fling concert Friday night, there were more house parties than in the past.
Police responded to three parties from Thursday night through Friday morning, seven parties from Friday night through Saturday morning and nine parties from Saturday night through Sunday morning.
In 2003, police responded to 16 house party disturbances.
Police are also investigating five possible simple assault cases that resulted from alcohol-related encounters between students.
Dorsey said it is unlikely that any more students will be arrested, but police will continue to conduct investigations to ensure that no major injuries occurred.
Vice President for Public Safety Maureen Rush said that though the weekend ran smoothly, it is important that students not disrupt the community as much in the future.
"We are going to be working with the neighbors ... in the future to make sure that [Fling] doesn't completely disturb their lives and their children's lives," Rush said.
Dorsey said police will meet with campus groups -- including the college houses -- during the week to see if there were any additional incidents.
