SCOTT SIMON, host: This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Scott Simon.</s>SCOTT SIMON, host: Graduates of 2008, remember education is a journey, not a destination. And sometimes you have to pay to clean what you messed up on the way. This week, George Washington University warns students they could be fined $300 if they regurgitate on the Vern shuttle bus.</s>SCOTT SIMON, host: The Vern is a round-the-clock shuttles so named because it runs between G.W.'s Foggy Bottom campus, adjacent to the taverns of Georgetown and its Mt. Vernon dormitories.</s>SCOTT SIMON, host: Onboard whoopsies can be costly. Only one bus is usually in service overnight so the driver has to stop the bus and pay cabs to bring the students home. And seats aboard the Vern are upholstered. Let's just say, you don't just hose down upholstered seats.</s>SCOTT SIMON, host: Safria Shaw(ph), a freshman from Pennsylvania, told The Washington Post, they just target the Vern seems to be random. People throw up all the time in the dorms. They throw up in the elevator. They throw up everywhere.</s>SCOTT SIMON, host: By the way, parents, it now cost over $50,000 a year to send a student to G.W. Drinks and tips included?
