We know the party line has been a deterrent for students. We feel lives have been saved.

We've only paid out twice.

In my opinion, the people who ran with SAC last year really started to see that Students' Party was working on the same issues. We didn't feel it was necessary to duke it out and have this fight for three weeks. … We're trying to build more unity.

I went to a party recently that some of the students gave, ... and I sat around, trying to keep quiet for the first hour. And finally some of them said to me, 'What was it like 30 years ago'? And I started telling a few things that happened and I realized that was a complete mistake. They just sort of hung their heads and said, 'God, we're so dull.'

It's hard for high school students to get an organized party together. Those kind of things happen in college.

There is an option for students to have parties with alcohol outside. We offer the party class, and give the opportunity to register a party with a beer garden.
