DEF Jam a manifestation of student dissatisfaction

After a long week of work and stress, any human being would be in need of a good night life during the weekend, but that is precisely what Tufts students cannot get on this campus. Last week's riot was merely another reaction of the students to the repressed social life that we have here at Tufts. Although some, including Douglas Burns in his Letter to the Editor ("Party organizers should apologize", 4/4 ), called it "unacceptable, inexcusable, and very deplorable," I considered it a great moment for the students at this University as students finally got the opportunity to show the authorities their dissatisfaction regarding the social scene at Tufts. Here, students get no more than a couple of hours to "party" until the TUPD officers decide, out of boredom, to come charging in with their flashing lights blinding people's eyes.
