I don’t really find the situation all that amusing. This piece points out some of the shortcomings of the organization/security/communication at the event, but it’s also important to note that students played a role in the incident too. I wasn’t outside Atwater on Halloween, but I’ve seen the lines outside the Bunker, when students start shoving and get confrontational with security. It’s not security’s fault that you can’t get into the party, and it’s no reason to be an asshole. Probably everybody in the crowd at Atwater wasn’t drunk, but I bet alcohol played a role in helping some students get that pushy. People get away with such behavior in the bubble, but in the real world it’s a lot less acceptable.

Comment on Why 51 Main Should Stay Open by Jonathan Bowley

51 Main Street was one of the best parts of my summer at Middlebury and one of the places where I formed some of my fondest memories of the program. In a small Vermont town with few options for respectable nighttime entertainment, I think 51 Main Street fills an essential role and that it would be a pity to let it close.

I agree. I was skeptical at first, but 51 Main has turned out to fill a social niche that wasn’t around before. It’s a comfortable place to do whatever – I hope it sticks around.
