While taking my kids to a school athletic event at 9:30 a.m. the morning of the Mifflin Street party, I had to address their questions about people playing ?beer pong? on the sidewalks and students doing beer bongs in the school parking lot.
The rampant pre-partying, as well as the debate about the party itself, are embarrassing for UW-Madison, the city of Madison and its officials. It?s amazing there is any consideration of allowing this ?party? to continue. Aren?t life-threatening injuries, sexual assaults and injured police officers enough? Will it take a death in the community to make a difference?
