DEF Jam rocked the house

Tufts has finally lost its party virginity. Yes, I know there have been great parties before, but, as far as I know, none like this. A party does not merely serve to get people drunk and laid. It helps alleviate some of the stress and tension bottled up inside every Tufts student. It unifies the student group from punk to raver to snobby clubber. Without a party like DEF jam, I would have seriously graduated Tufts feeling that there was something I hadn't gotten. I've been to frats, clubs, and house parties, but the huge University party was something that was much needed. In his column ("Latin Lovin'" 4/6), Daniel Barbarisi totally misses the point of DEF jam. No one cared that the alcohol ran out. If that was the main point, people would have gone to a fraternity instead. The fun came from the large amount of people, crazy atmosphere, and various types of music playing throughout Latin Way. I would like to thank every student who attended, organized, and DJed the event. To hell with the preconceived notion of Tufts as having mediocre parties. Feel proud Jumbos - we rocked the house on Saturday.
