NO HAPPY PHISH TALE

As far as the Ames, Iowa, chief of police is concerned, Phish fans are
welcome to stay away from his town -- forever. Chief Dennis Ballantine
said Monday the city jail had been filled with Phishheads, the devoted
followers of the music group, since the band's concert at Iowa State
University on friday night.

``If they never come back, it will be too soon,'' he
said.

Ballantine said the lawlessness and drug use outside the concert was
so appalling that he will ask the university to ban Phish from campus.
Sheriff's deputies, police and campus officers say they arrested 26
fans, most on drug-possession charges
