Mayor Dave Cieslewicz’s announcement Thursday morning that the city of Madison had officially set April 30 as the date for the Mifflin Street Block Party came as a huge relief. After months of irrational hope that students would agree to have the party May 7-the eve of the first day of final exams-city officials came to the realization that students would party April 30 whether there was a police presence or not.
