I think those stadium lights are going to make a big difference. I really do. This year when they show the footage of the rioting on the news, we'll be able to see it much better! This is what you get when you stick stadium lights up to try to diffuse a riot: You get a really, really well-lit riot.
You know, all around town there are stencils that say "Don't forget to riot"! But the kids didn't really riot, it seems. And the police behaved properly, didn't they? Go to the Isthmus links for plenty of first-hand descriptions of what happened.

Halloween 1986 and 1987 in Madison are two of the greatest party days of my life.
It's great to hear that the revelry still continues.
I recall that the primary responsibility of the student body president was running the Halloween party. Kudos to Steve Marmel for throwing a great party! (His "down with the threeks" and "bring back the fork" campaign was also great fun).
Disgrace should be brought upon Shalala and the other losers in student government who ended the celebration in 1988-89.
You know, the Des Moines Register reported that over 400 arrests were made. Is that true? Doesn't jibe with everything else I've heard.
