[Name omitted], a fifth-year senior who carried a beer bong in his shirt, complained that the police were stricter than ever this year. One of his friends had already been ticketed for an open container violation for walking from one house party to the next with a beer.
[Name omitted], who started drinking at 11 a.m., said that didn't stop him from having a good time. "I'm wasted," he said, adding that he planned to party all night.
Police spokesman Mike Hanson said the street party was considered to be over at 8 p.m., with officers going from house to house to warn the hosts to end the festivities or face citations.
While cooperation was good early in the day, by late afternoon he said "the alcohol has set in and people are getting less cooperative."
Hell, no, we won't go ... home from this party.

I hope you don't mean to imply that past UW students engaged in meaningful political activism, while today's bunch are apathetic wasteoids. Many writers and reporters subscribe to this myth - I believe because historical movements are "safe" to acknowledge, while today's agitation is not.
For examples of contemporary UW student activism, see the Madison Warming Center Campaign, Stop the War, UW Multicultural Student Coalition and Al-Awda Palestinian Right to Return Campaign. And that's off the top of my non-student head.
I hope you don't mean to imply that past UW students were sober.
Halo: See this post of mine from last fall.
I guess this party isn't so different from the weddings in your post below. Is this a party for a party's sake or for tradition's sake? And does it matter? Not to me. Although I would have preferred not to get arrested for having a glass bottle.
