Speaks out

Published: Wednesday, November 27, 2002

Black Sunday is going to be put on hiatus for three years because it has gotten out of hand and become unsafe. Do you think Black Sunday is unsafe? Do you agree with the decision to take it away? Bert Sutherland

Fourth-year, physics

I think Black Sunday is fine. I didn't see anything going on that was too out of control. The more crowded it is, the more fun it is. Julia Inobe

First-year, undeclared

I don't think it should be taken away. I don't think it's that big of a deal just because it's more partying than normal. To bring in S.W.A.T. teams and rubber bullets is a little bit exaggerated. I think people like to have fun on their first night back. Lindsay Mullins

Second-year, communications/political science

I think that Black Sunday has gotten a little out of control. It's a fun night for students before school starts, but the parties have gotten crazy and I know so many people who have gotten alcohol poisoning. It's gotten too crazy. I don't know if I agree to take it away, but definitely to tone it down. Tom Labordo

Second-year, psychobiology

I think it was a fun experience for me because it was my only chance to go visit the frats. It's not too dangerous because there are all those people who are with you. You're not all by yourself. Tiffany Chao

First-year, undeclared

Black Sunday was too crowded. We couldn't get into any parties and I thought it was a little too big. It should have been more contained or organized. It shouldn't be taken away. I think the frats should do a better job of organizing the parties and lines. They shouldn't just go crazy because the streets get wild and it is a little dangerous.
