<p>Really?
<p>YCC President Steven Syverud '06 said he expects "The Party" to attract crowds similar in size to that of the YCC's 2003 event called "The Fusion," which drew approximately 1,400 students.</p>
<p>"It's likely to be the biggest thing gong on that weekend," he said.</p>
<p>The Council of Masters has given $4,800 to the Yale Student Activities Committee to underwrite the cost of the dance, Master's Council chair Judith Krauss said.</p>
<p>"We thought it reasonable that we give YSAC some major financial assistance since we'd all like to encourage our students to attend the event," Krauss said.
I guess I don't read this as "reaching a limit". I view this as moving the venue.</p>
<p>I'm reaching my limit. It is time to boycott webpages that hit you with multiple popups.</p>
<p>hehehe.........good comparison. These raucus parties are poppin up everywhere.</p>
<p>Firefox will solve your poppin' problem. :)</p>
<p>hazmat - did you read the article in the YDN? The dance/party that the college is contributing money to sponsor is alcohol free. The Party will take place in Commons - on campus with security.</p>
<p><The Yale College Council is sponsoring an alcohol-free dance called "The Party: Heaven & Hell" in the Commons Dining Hall, while a group of Harvard seniors will hold a party, "The Takeover," at Gotham Citi Nightclub on Crown Street. Although both events were planned before the masters created the new rule, organizers of each party said they hope to provide a place for both Yale and Harvard students to celebrate in light of the restriction.</p>

Shyy said that while students will be allowed to come and go freely from Commons, students who are obviously drunk should avoid the YCC-sponsored event.</p>
<p>"The administration has requested that we advise students not to attend the party visibly over-inebriated, as they would risk refused admission," she said.></p>
<p>You're far too cynical! Students can have a good time without being drunk or stoned. I expect the event will be well-attended, as will the game. It's not alcohol per se but its abuse and excess that's the problem.</p>
<p>I did in fact read YDN. I guess I don't see how pregaming is going to prevent the usual suspects from gaining admission to the party. I am NOT saying in anyway that fun cannot be had absent alcohol. What I am saying is that this set of new rules is just making the structure of parties different.....the outcome I predict will remain the same..</p>
<p>I don't think so - but we'll see. The goal is not to eliminate, but to curb excess. In this way, I think they'll be successful.</p>

<p>The CC-branded</a> Alexa Toolbar will block 'em... </p>
<p>This seems to be a trend... Notre Dame, long known for a festive tailgate atmosphere, has been implementing changes for the last few years that cut down on the partying - limiting the amount of time vehicles can remain in the area, prohibiting parking-area partying when the game is taking place, etc.</p>
<p>These changes generally aren't appreciated by the would-be tailgaters, many of whom are alumni and donors. Then again, the alum who's going to donate a new performing arts building probably isn't sucking down Bud Lights and grilling wieners in the parking lot. ;)</p>
<p>I use the Google toolbar (can I mention that?) which has a popup blocker, plus Google always readily available.</p>
<p>tsdad</p>
<p>So that was the plan huh? How satisfied were you w/ the results of Madison on Halloween? I do recall a few news stories....well actually more than a few.</p>
<p>It was a pretty good year--very little property damage and average amount of arrests despite more active police in that regard. Again about 80%+ of arrests were not UW students. Police were a little quick with the pepper spray according to many.</p>
<p>Williams has banned alcohol at tailgates - alums must purchase any alcohol at a bar, and have a wristband to make the purchase. </p>
<p>At last weekend's Williams-Amherst game (traditionally a big tailgating event), I was not permitted to walk in at 11:15 a.m. with a cup of hot apple cider (non-alcoholic! really!). As I tossed out my cup, I saw three elderly alums gulping their coffee - they couldn't bring the coffee in either. The Williamstown cop laughed and said "not my rule".</p>
<p>Funny - I thought they were specifically allowing alcohol at the tailgate (through purchase):</p>
<p>Gives the lie to the idea that "nothing can be done about college abusive drinking". In fact, it wasn't even particularly difficult.</p>
<p>Yard by yard! ;)</p>
<p>Right, there were two authorized bars in the tailgating area where alums could purchase alcohol after being carded. What was banned was BYO - no one could bring any beverages in. Even coffee and apple cider. They were searching grocery bags as alums walked in, and there was a huge pile of contraband beverages left by the entrance.</p>
<p>I love the huge pile of contraband.......geez even mature adults, the ones paying for their student. I just love it.</p>
