A university campus is not a "school" within the meaning of s. 161.49 [now ch. 961.49]. State v. Andrews,

Anyone who passes within a zone listed in sub. (1) while in possession of a controlled substance with an intent to deliver it somewhere is subject to the penalty enhancer provided by this section whether or not the arrest is made within the zone and whether or not there is an intent to deliver the controlled substance within the zone.

The penalty enhancer for sales close to parks does not violate due process and is not unconstitutionally vague. The ordinary meaning of "parks" includes undeveloped parks. Proximity to a park is rationally related to protecting public health and safety from drug sale activities. State v. Lopez,
