Foam Boxing Gloves Rule

While the staff pretends to be supportive of the Undergraduate Council's efforts to revitalize Springfest, their support is a chimera, because their entire evaluation of the event is based on complaints. The council worked very hard to plan a successful event, and most students who attended enjoyed Springfest despite the less-than-perfect weather.

We have the rest of our lives to go to LL Cool J concerts. But when else do students have the opportunity to throw themselves onto a giant wall of Velcro, or smack each other over the head with giant foam boxing gloves? The corraling of legal-aged students into a special cage for beer drinkers may not have been the most aesthetically pleasing solution to the problem of providing alcohol, but turning the event into a "BYOB affair," as the staff suggest, is a recipe for disaster. And the MAC Quad was the perfect location for the festivities. Had they been anywhere else, those of us living down by the River would never have noticed.
