UConn: Party Crackdown

UConn President Phillip Austin decided yesterday to accept recommendations from a special task forces that was created after last years pre-finals weekend partying.

Last year Spring Weekend at UConn resulted in 84 arrests and one fatality. Junior Jafar Karzoun died after being punched outside a campus eatery.

The task force recommended banning guests in the dorms during Spring Weekend and also the canceling of university sponsored events for Spring Weekend. Full story here.

Look, all big schools have this same problem. What does every college kid in America do the weekend before finals week starts? Get shitfaced and do incredibly dumb shit. It's everywhere. And when you have huge public schools like UConn or UMass, shit sometimes goes wrong. But what are you going to do arrest everyone? It's one of those things where the administration isn't going to stop the shit from happening, so why try stupid things like not allowing guests in the dorms? Then kids are going to just go elsewhere with their friends to party. It's fucking moronic.

And it's sad to say, but the death last year could happen anywhere. A guy hits another guy, who hits the ground wrong, and dies later. Ronnie from the Jersey Shore could have killed that dude he sucker-punched on national TV. Freak stuff happens.

So all I gotta say UConn, is party the fuck on. I want to see so many people there for Spring Weekend that a state of drunken emergency is declared. Fuck the police.
