Sid's '80s fails to impress
The generally accepted expectation of a public party is that it is to be a social gathering in which all are permitted to enter. It would thus seem that Sid Richardson College failed to truly throw a public party last Saturday. The fire alarms and subsequent fire-code enforcement were a repeat of Sid's last party, School Girls. This recurring exclusion of scores of students from Sid parties is becoming a nuisance and is frankly unacceptable.Sid needs to take steps to secure its parties against these false fire alarms. As the freshman classes continue to grow and high party turnouts persist, it's undertandable that these sort of acts will happen from time to time. However, Sid is the only college to have parties fail, twice, because of this sort of activity. The Thresher hopes this does not become a trend.
