Students Split On Freakfest Halloween Event

MADISON, Wis. — After riots and out-of-control partying at past Halloween celebrations in downtown Madison, the city made it a priority to create a fun and safe event on State Street for Halloween.

For the second year, State Street on Saturday night will become a huge, organized party. The changes allow for more crowd control, but some students said it comes at the expense of tradition.
