MOUNT LEBANON — Some students consider school to be a grind, but one Pittsburgh-area school district says a bigger problem is some student couples “grinding” it out on the dance floor.

Mount Lebanon High School principal Brian McFeeley says school officials are adding chaperones and even changing the kind of music played at school dances to enforce a no-grinding policy.

Grinding is a sexually suggestive form of dancing in which couples dance front-to-back while their hips rub against one another — generally with the male standing behind the female.

Some students say the school would better focus on underage drinking and drug use. School officials say they're doing that, too, and their concerns about grinding are just one part of an overall approach to cut down on problems at dances.

HARRISBURG — Members of the Harrisburg City Council have voted to double the earned income tax, saying the alternative would be cutting essential services in Pennsylvania's capital.A newspaper says the council voted 5-2 to approve the increase at its meeting Tuesday night.President Wanda Williams says the increase is expected to generate another $5.1 million to stave off firefighter, police and other city employee layoffs.The tax increase is the third in less than a year for residents of the city, which has been laboring under a massive $300 million debt tied to an incinerator renovation project.The council adopted a property tax increase in December and the school district also increased its real estate tax rate last summer.By The Associated Press
