This is an annual tradition at IUP where hundreds of people come into town to party off-campus for the weekend.

Pennsylvania State Police say they will have a driving under the influence checkpoint and will be looking for aggressive drivers.

They will also have troopers on horseback patrolling the neighborhoods to make sure things don't get out of hand.

Troopers are encouraging people to call 911 to report suspicious or criminal activity.
