UPDATE: Jake's cancels 'Girls Gone Wild'

Several campus groups have successfully forced the cancellation of the shirt-raising "Girls Gone Wild" event that was scheduled to take place Friday night at Jake's Nightclub.\nMore than 125 members of the Bloomington community, including students, faculty members, administrators and campus groups, signed a petition sent to Jake's owner Dave Kubiak calling for the event to be canceled, according to an e-mail obtained by the Indiana Daily Student. \nBloomington Safe & Civil City Director Beverly Calender-Anderson said administrators within the city government were notified about the outrage regarding the event and a possible protest, which spurred a meeting Wednesday afternoon with the nightclub's owners. \n"We spoke with the owners of Jake's and expressed our concerns that this was not appropriate entertainment for this community," Anderson said.\nAnderson added at the conclusion of the meeting, the owners were weighing their options about whether to cancel the event.\nIn the e-mail obtained by the IDS, Kubiak responded to criticism by canceling the event.\n"We are sorry if the idea offended anyone, that was not the idea," Kubiak said. "We respect our town and would like to put this behind us"
